1. Ruffle

Young (5 months 30 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 16 mi from St. Rose

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 St. Rose

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.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

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.
