My name is Maevis!

Meet darling little Maevis, one of 4 siblings in search of a forever home! She is still a bit shy and will take some time to warm up. Keeping her in a smaller room with multiple daily interactions and pets seemed to help while she has been in rescue. She's come a long way! Maevis will now sleep either on my bed or on me at night and starts to purr as soon as she gets pets. I think with time and patience, she will continue to open up and become more affectionate.

Maevis was an owner surrender. f you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.  

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
