Meet Chantilly — the tiny drama queen who survived outdoor life, four different meds, and probably her own attitude… and somehow came out even friendlier than she went in.
After a long battle with coccidia and diarrhea (truly, a saga for the ages), this fluffball is growing like she has somewhere important to be — and honestly, she does: your lap.
Chantilly has decided indoor life is absolutely her vibe. She’s litter box trained, eats like she’s preparing for winter, sprints to greet you like you’re a celebrity, and takes her meds like a professional patient.
She’s great with all ages, and before being rescued she lived around dogs and other cats, so she’s basically got a glowing résumé.
Her hobbies include:
Being held like the royalty she is
Sleeping on you, not near you
Purring at a volume that should count as a noise complaint
Playing with literally anything, including her sibling, Lace
Chantilly would thrive in a home with her partner-in-chaos, Lace, or another playful friend — because tormenting, uh, loving, another cat is her love language. Here’s a sweet video of Chantilly and Lace playing.
If you’re looking for a kitten who has survived the trenches and still acts like sunshine on legs, Chantilly’s your girl.
Chantilly is from an owner surrender with her sister. 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.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
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.
