My name is Vanilla!

Vanilla was one of the last kittens to be rescued from a property with many litters of cats. She was malnourished so she is still needing to put on some weight, but is doing great! Vanilla is a bit timid, but she has started becoming more active. While she is still a little cautious of human interaction she is doing well at becoming more comfortable with human touch. She's never showed aggression. She would probably do very well in a home with another kitten or confident cat.

If 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.
