Ruff Patches

Ruff Patches NOTE: The address listed is our mailing address. We do not have a physical building as we are an all foster home organization. East and Ave R every Saturday. .

Ruff Patches is an all volunteer-run animal welfare and advocacy organization. Ruff Patches is dedicated to keeping pets in homes! We provide food to low income pet owners, provide behavior support and veterinary support when we have the funds. Of course, we also rescue homeless animals and find them new, loving homes. We hold adoptions at Petsmart at 47th St.

Christmas mood: activated 🎄🐾

Calm rooms, gentle pets, and cats doing what they do best - reminding us to slow down and enjoy the season.

From all of us (and all of them) at Ruff Patches, wishing you a peaceful, cozy holiday. 💛

All we want for Christmas is loving homes for our adoptable cats 🎄🐾

Each of these sweet faces has their own personality, quirks, and story - and each one is hoping this holiday season brings something truly special: a family of their own. From playful moments to quiet cuddles, they’re ready to share their lives with someone who will love them just as they are.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, the holidays can be a beautiful time to open your heart and your home. We’d love to help you meet the cat who might be the perfect fit for you.

Charity and her son Andy are two of our sweetest long-term residents - safe for life because of people like you. ❤️

Charity is tiny, gentle, and full of love, despite surviving severe stomatitis as a kitten.

Andy is shy at first, but unbelievably sweet and talkative once he feels safe - and famous for his little “meerkat” stance.

Their bond is unbreakable.
Their story is precious.
And their lifelong care is possible because of your support.

🎄 Dear Santa… we’ve been very good girls this year. 💌

Bereet and Jean Grey are two bonded torbie sisters who have been waiting years for a forever home. They’re sweet, gentle, playful and perfectly matched.

Bereet dreams of warm laps and cozy snuggles.

Jean Grey hopes for toys, adventures and a human who appreciates her curious spirit.

But their biggest wish this holiday season is simple.
A quiet, loving home where they can stay together.

If you’ve ever wanted to adopt a pair of cats who already adore each other, these sisters are ready to fill your home with warmth, joy and endless purrs.

Visit www.ruffpatches.org/adoptions, DM us here, email us at [email protected] or call us at 818-714-1147 to adopt these amazing ladies!

Warm Hearts, Full Bellies ❤️🐾

This holiday season, we’re feeding more pets than ever - inside our rescue and across our community.

When families face hardship, pets often go hungry too. Our Outreach Program provides food, litter, and supplies to help keep pets in the homes where they’re loved.

But in order to support local pets… we must also keep the animals in our care fed, safe, and healthy.

Right now, our shelves are running low on:
✨ Wet & dry cat food
✨ Litter
✨ Enrichment toys
✨ Cleaning supplies
✨ Pet Beds

Your holiday gift fills bowls, supports families, and provides comfort for our sanctuary and adoptable pets.

One donation helps twice - in our community and in our rescue. 💛🐾

🎉 Happy 5th Birthday, Ayesha! 🎂🐾

Ayesha’s journey hasn’t always been simple. Born to Imari and rescued as a kitten, she once had a home - but after a year, she was returned due to anxiety and behavioral challenges.

Coming back to Ruff Patches gave Ayesha something she truly needed: stability, patience, and understanding. With time and consistency, she learned that she was safe - and that she didn’t have to be perfect to be loved.

Today, Ayesha is confident, affectionate with people she trusts, and very aware when someone else is getting attention. 😉 She’s settled, secure, and exactly where she belongs.

On her 5th birthday, we’re celebrating not just her life - but her growth, resilience, and the community that made her happy ending possible. 💛

Help us wish Ayesha the happiest of birthdays! 🎂✨

The holidays are full of joy for us… but for our pets? Sometimes it’s a lot to handle. 🎁🐾

Visitors, noise, schedule changes, decorations, travel — even the happiest celebrations can feel overwhelming to cats and dogs.

Here are simple ways to help your furry family stay calm and comfortable this season:

✨ Give them a quiet retreat - a cozy room with their bed, litter box, water, and favorite toys.
✨ Keep routines steady - feeding and playtime help pets feel grounded.
✨ Exercise before guests arrive - dogs and cats need to burn off energy.
✨ Offer enrichment - chew toys, food puzzles, wand play, snuffle mats, lick mats.
✨ Watch for stress signals - panting, hiding, pacing, dilated pupils, decreased appetite, or overstimulation.

A little preparation goes a long way in helping our pets feel safe, supported, and understood during a busy season. 💛

Wishing you and your furry family a peaceful, joy-filled holiday! 🎄🐾✨
