About Rutabaga

Rutabaga is a wonderful young cat who just recently weaned her five kittens and is now ready for her own forever home. Friendly and affectionate, she has a way of connecting with people that makes her truly special. Rutabaga spent time in foster care, where she became very trusting and formed a bond with her caretaker. Known for her beautiful calico coat, she's also a loving mama who has done a fantastic job raising her little ones. While she’s been tolerant of a larger dog, it might be best for her future adoptive family to have either a smaller dog or a dog-free home altogether. If you spend a little time with Rutabaga, you'll quickly see what a delightful companion she is. She is now spayed and up to date on vaccinations, ready to start a new chapter in her life with the right family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
