Hi, I’m Petunia! I’m still settling into my new surroundings after a rough start to life—I came here with my siblings after being left in someone’s driveway. Despite that, I’m a strong, beautiful girl with a whole lot of personality packed into my petite paws. I’m definitely what you’d call spicy. I enjoy being petted… until I don’t —and when I’m done, I’ll let you know with a quick (and impressively fierce) little swat. I’m not trying to be mean; I just have strong opinions and I’m learning how to communicate them better every day. When I’m comfortable with you, I truly do enjoy a good cuddle session right on your chest.
I’m a vocal lady and will happily greet you the moment you open the door to my room. I haven’t quite figured out toys yet, but my humans are patiently teaching me how fun they can be. I do know that I love the top of my cat tree, soaking up the sunshine from the windowsill, and supervising the world outside like the queen I am. Strangers make me nervous, so I’ll need a home that understands I need time, patience, and respect for my boundaries. I haven’t officially met other cats or dogs yet, but I don’t hiss or react through the door, so with slow introductions, I may do just fine.
If you’re looking for a stunning calico with bright, expressive eyes, a sassy streak, and a big personality, I might just be your girl. I’m still learning and growing, and my story is just getting started—check back for updates as my humans get to know me even better! Petunia is from a stray surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

More about this rescue
Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.
Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.
Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.
If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
