She adjusted to indoor life like a pro and is truly a joy to have around! While she hasn’t been introduced to dogs or other cats yet, she absolutely adores playing with her siblings. Ginny is an independent girl with a spunky streak, but she’ll happily come find you for affection when she’s ready—usually right after an epic play session. She LOVES her toys, especially bouncy balls, springs, and anything she can zoom through or pounce on. Watching her rocket in and out of the tunnel is entertainment all on its own!  Here’s a cute video of Ginny playing with her siblings. Her days are filled with sunny naps, playful adventures, plenty of treats, and all the attention she decides she wants. With her bright personality and silly antics, Ginny brings energy, smiles, and so much joy to any room she enters. Life is good for this little lady—and it’s even better with her in it! Ginny is from an owner surrender with 2 sisters. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

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.Click here to watch a video of Ginny.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 2, 2025, 4:54 pm

Thanks to a compassionate property owner, she and her feline family were part of a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) effort, allowing them to live safely and peacefully in an insulated garage. Her days were filled with joy and companionship, especially with her mother, who was her closest friend. They hunted together, played chase, and curled up side by side, sharing warmth and love. But recently, MissGray’s mother didn’t return, leaving her to navigate the world on her own. But this brave cat has showed resilience. The property owner decided to bring MissGray indoors to see how she would adjust, and to everyone’s delight, she’s doing wonderfully! MissGray has excellent litter box manners and is learning to trust her new indoor world. She may be shy at first, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into a loving companion, purring, rubbing against your legs, and soaking up gentle pets. While she’s not quite a lap cat (yet!), she enjoys relaxing nearby and being part of your quiet moments. Her ideal forever home would include a calm feline friend to keep her company, just like her mom once did. With her incredibly soft coat and gentle soul, MissGray is ready to bring warmth and sweetness to a loving home.

She came into rescue alongside her kitty friend, Zara. While Zara is the chatty social butterfly, Masala is the gentle soul of the pair — calm, observant, and quietly affectionate once she feels comfortable. Masala isn’t too fond of the hustle and bustle of “office life” — all that commotion just isn’t her cup of tea! She would prefer a peaceful, steady home where she can relax, settle into a routine, and enjoy her favorite pastime: quietly watching the world go by from a cozy perch. She has been around other cats and dogs, though she appreciates slow, gentle introductions as she adjusts. Once she trusts you, Masala’s sweet and loving nature truly shines — a perfect companion for someone who values a calm and loyal feline friend. Masala is from an owner surrender with sister Zara, and they must be adopted together   To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.

Zoey is a gentle, affectionate 9-year-old who loves greeting her person at the door and chatting about her day. She has big dog-energy in all the best ways. She adores cuddles, enjoys being close, and will happily curl up beside you for naps or quiet evenings. She has wonderful manners. No scratching furniture or carpet. She prefers her cardboard scratchers and uses them like a pro. She has lived with other pets in the past, but Zoey truly shines in a calm home with either one mellow pet or no other animals at all. Zoey is sensitive to fast movement and loud noises, so young children make her very anxious. We’ve set up a quiet space for her, and she thrives when she has a peaceful spot to relax. We are moving soon and unfortunately will not have a room where she can feel safe and comfortable. Zoey will come with everything she needs to settle into her new home. This includes a Breeze litter box and refills, a Breeze Litter Genie, a soft sided carrier, and her self feeder and waterer

Meet Kalla and Kimora (Kalla grey and white Kimora orange white grey) two sisters who have been in each other's business since birth. They are inseparable, co-dependent, and honestly kind of hilarious. They are professional nap buddies and synchronized window-bird-watchers. Kalla behaves like an older sister, does her own thing watch's what Kimora does. She loves her box's, high perches, and to sleep next to her person. Kimora loves the spotlight whatever you're doing she's curious and will be right beside you. She’s the one who wants all of the cuddles. They're the perfect snuggle buddies, they’ll curl up right next to you or on top of you. It's been tough financially lately, finding a home for them to temporarily stay while i get back on my feet. They've been moving around a lot lately from a friends home to another and I can see how much that stresses them out and I can no longer do that to them. I'm looking for someone who can offer stability and all the love they deserve.
