About Ruffian

Ruffian may have a tough-sounding name, but she’s actually a shy little sweetheart. Rescued with her siblings, all about 5 months old, she was found near a school by some kind ladies who wanted to help after they noticed the kittens had been left behind. Now in the care of Second Chance Companions, Ruffian is looking for a forever home, preferably with one of her siblings for companionship. She is a darling short-haired tabby with unique white paws and a chest. While she might be a bit timid at first, her foster mom believes that once she’s settled, her playful side will shine through. Ruffian enjoys attention and pets, and her sweet nature makes her a wonderful companion. She’ll be spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated soon, so she’ll be all set for her new adventure. If you’d like to meet her, fill out an adoption application and keep an eye out for her at an upcoming event. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
