1. Ruffle

Young (5 months 30 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 30 mi from Centralia

Hi, my name is Ruffle a
nd I'm about 6 months old. I was found stray with my 2 siblings and surrendered to Bond County Humane Society so we can find loving furever homes. I have beautiful calico fur. When I first came to the shelter, I was really scared of everything and everyone. Eventually I learned that people were great for cuddles, pets, and especially food! I might take a little while to get used to you, but when I do I will want to sit on your lap. Oh...I do like playing with any other cats, so if you have a feline buddy for me to hang out with, that would be a wonderful bonus!

I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped. My adoption fee is $160.

Adopting a cat in Centralia

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
