About Russella

Meet Russella, a sweet kitten with a remarkable comeback story. She was found on Russell Street in Detroit, needing medical care. Thankfully, a compassionate FCS volunteer rescued her and brought her to an animal hospital for the help she required. Russella has adjusted to foster life, living with the likes of Pebbles, Perlah, and Robby. While she is still a bit shy, she is beginning to trust again and discover that people can bring joy. Underneath her timid facade is a playful spirit just waiting to shine. Engaging her in playtime may just be the key to winning her heart. Though her beginnings were tough, Russella is learning to embrace her new life step by step. She will need a patient family willing to earn her trust. It's clear that with some love and understanding, she'll become a wonderful companion. If you're excited to offer a home to this darling girl, apply today to meet her at her foster home! Please note that applications for single kittens will not be considered, as they thrive best in pairs or with other furry friends.
