Rescued Pets Are Wonderful

Rescued Pets Are Wonderful Rescued Pets Are Wonderful is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer animal rescue organization serving the Twin Cities metro area.
(238)

Non-profit animal rescue dedicated to helping the most critical and major medical cases as well as senior animals.
*Subscriber Hub payments are not tax deductible We are dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats left homeless for whatever reason – focusing on the ones with major medical issues or of senior age. These are the ones that are usually overlooked because they are not “highly adoptable.” Th

ey are also the ones that cost the most to the organizations. We believe they are the most in need of help! We place dogs and cats in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog or cat into their homes and lives. Taking in major medical cases and senior animals means that they will likely have more care needed life long. We make sure that they are placed in homes that are able to financially and physically care for them long term. Animals in our care are all spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs and cats in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs and cats in the greatest need take priority. We have partnered with some of the best and the brightest in the Veterinary Medical field and we are committed to giving every animal in our care the best chance at a happy forever. We do not shy away from unconventional routes and are always looking for ways to push forward the medical advances for animals. From fish skin grafts on trauma cases, to prosthetics for amputees, to FIP treatments that save lives as never before, we will make sure every option is exhausted for our major medical cases. Many animals that would have immediately been euthanized in the shelter, now have a chance to live and thrive with their varied medical conditions. We never euthanize animals due to space or time constraints, but we may elect to euthanize in the event of a severe, untreatable/debilitating illness or extremely dangerous behavioral concerns. Because we do not kill to make space, however, we cannot take in every animal that needs help. Current adoptable pets can be found on our website as well as our Petfinder link https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?query_id=A4F0C158-715A-11E7-8DF1-83FBF62E21C6&page_number=0

Congrats Charlie 👏

Zoey is a mellow and initially shy little girl, but she warms up quickly with a little patience. Once she feels comfortable, Zoey becomes a sweet, happy, and playful kitten. She especially enjoys toy mice and yarn balls.

Hazel is a cautious and observant kitten who prefers to watch her surroundings before joining in. She’s not only incredibly cute but also very sweet. Hazel has the tiniest squeak for a meow and one of the loudest purrs around. She’s won over by gentle petting, Churu treats, and toys on a string.

Brock is a playful and curious kitten who loves to sneak up on his siblings. He enjoys exploring every corner of his environment and has a goofy, fun-loving personality. Brock is a fan of all types of cat toys and especially loves his scratching pad.

Albert: Albert is a handsome little guy with a big personality. He’s funny, brave, and very food motivated. Albert charges headfirst into everything, he’s the classic curious and playful kitten. Albert is very social and seems to enjoy meeting people, especially when they bring treats.

Alberta: Alberta is a beautiful and shy little girl who takes some time to open up. Once she’s comfortable, she’ll show you just how playful and sweet she can be. She’ll do best with people that will wait for her to warm up, and don’t try to pick her up and initiate affection.

Archie: Archie is hilarious and oh so playful. He has a tunnel that he loves, and will pounce on his siblings whenever they try to use it. Archie likes to act like he’s only interested in playing, but he’ll climb up on your lap for pets when you’re not looking. Archie has a great purr and personality.

Aria: Aria is a sweet, quiet, and reserved girl. Despite being quiet, she’s not afraid to play and will come up to you for attention on her own time. Aria is very curious, secretly brave, and smart.

Meet Butternut ❤️

We wanted to introduce you to our other little kitten transferred from another group :)

Butternut was taken into rescue with her sister by our friends at Camp Kitten. Very soon after that they started acting very sick. They knew right away that they needs more specialized care so they reach out to us. Unfortunately, Butternut's sister passed away but we were able to welcome Butternut to our group.

She has been with us a little over a week now and is a fighter for sure. We have done a lit of tests and there really isn't a reason for why she is so underweight. We put her in a handful of medications and easy to digest food just like our new veggie litter.

We are always happy to lend a hand when we can to other organizations, whether it be answering questions, recommending specialists, offering services at our RPAW Animal Wellness Center or even taking animals in by transfer.

This doesn't mean that the organization failed or didn't do their job, it means that we all feel more comfortable in different areas of rescue and we should all find what is best for the animal ❤️

If you want to donate towards Butternut's care it is very much appreciated!

*please note, she is not a grumpy lady despite her photo ;)

Welcome the Vegetable Litter!

We love to help other rescues when they take in animals that require a little more than they can handle. We have always felt that rescue is better together. Each organization has their niche or what they love the most. RPAW just happens to love the "hot mess" animals ;) We never fault a rescue for reaching out to us for help or even transfer because we ourselves have done the same. What's best for the animal is what should be first.

Our friends over at Redemption Road Rescue reached out because they took in a litter of kittens from a hoarding house situation. They were all sickly but 2 of them, Artichoke "Artie" and Asparagus "Gus" were the worst and started becoming very lethargic and developed swelling in their legs. They saw their vet and were started on a couple meds but they were still nervous so they reached out. Since this season seems to be failure to thrive kittens... we offered to take them all :)

Little Gus is the smallest by far at only 360 grams and he is most severely affected. His brother Artie is twice his size but still swollen and painful. We added a couple more medications right away and started round the clock feeding with baby food. This morning they are both much brighter but definitely not out of the woods.

If you would like to donate towards this little veggie garden we would greatly appreciate it! ❤️

Meet Lotus 🪷

This beauty isn't new to us as this is her second time with us. She was adopted as a little kitten about 8 years ago. Fast forward to early 2025 when we got a call from animal control that they had a cat with our microchip. When we looked it up we informed them of who the adopter was and they she was adopted as a kitten. They said she was in rough shape and would let us know what the adopter said.
About 5 minutes later we heard back and they said the adopter told them Lotus has gotten out 2 weeks after they adopted her and they just assumed she was dead. They moved on and were not interested in taking her back. We have no idea what happened between then and now but we knew she wasn't in a good place.

When we picked her up she she was extremely thin and had a severe head tilt and would circle when walking. We got her to our RPAW Animal Wellness Center right away and determined she had Diabetes and a severe inner ear infection. She was started on treatment for both and placed in a foster home.

It has been amazing watching her bloom into the amazing girl she is. She LOVES people and she LOVES food haha. She will always have a slight head tilt and when she gets really excited she circles but she is doing so much better.

We would love to find her a forever home. She does well with other cats and small dogs. She loves to play and she loves catnip.

Meet Huey.
This sweet guy has been through a lot. He would love nothing more than to find a quiet retirement home. He is very cautious of other pets and would love a quiet home, a lap to snuggle in and a window to watch the squirrels and birds.

Huey and his buddy Apache were with one owner for 13 years. Huey and Apache were surrendered when their owner couldn't take care of them. Apache passed away a few weeks ago.
Huey is doing good but would prefer a quieter home. He loves catnip, fresh, dried or spray, it makes no difference. He is also on a daily medication to keep his stress level low and it works so well! It is fairly inexpensive as well.

Adoption fee is waived

Meet Shredder!

This little guy has a huge personality ❤️ He is about 10 weeks old and was found as a stray by himself in southern MN. He is named after the rat in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not because he shreds things 😉

Shredder would love to have someone to play with, so another playful cat or dog even would be great. He also loves attention and treats!

Meet Squid

Squid is an 11 week old kitten with a tender heart and a playful spirit. He’s a little on the cautious side at first, preferring to take things slow and get the lay of the land before diving in—but once he feels safe, his sweet and silly side truly shines.

Squid loves gentle playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, and quiet moments with his favorite humans. He’s not a fan of loud noises or too much commotion, so he’s hoping to find a calm, relaxed home where he can bloom at his own pace.

And let’s not forget—black cats like Squid are extra special. Known for their charm, mystery, and loyalty, black cats have a way of forming deep bonds with their people. Once Squid chooses you, you’ll have a devoted, loving companion for life.

If you’re someone who appreciates a thoughtful, affectionate kitten with a soft purr and a gentle soul, Squid may be your perfect match. Give this little guy the peaceful home he deserves—you’ll be rewarded with love, trust, and just the right amount of goofy kitten energy.
