Meet Olaf! This handsome guy with adorable little ear tufts is as affectionate as they come. He loves curling up on our laps for naps and keeping us company wherever we settle down. He’s also become a huge fan of cuddling right next to us while we sleep! He’s friendly and happiest when he’s close to his people. Olaf is a very active, playful kitten and will need daily playtime to burn off his energy and keep him happy and well-behaved. Interactive toys and regular play sessions will be key to helping him thrive—lately, he has been LOVING chasing after springs, carrying them around, and bringing them back to his little toy hoard! He’s also very good about using scratching posts, and I haven’t observed him trying to scratch any furniture. One thing to know: for the first five months of his life, he lived with a dog and didn’t have feline friends, so he’s still learning how to play politely with other cats and recognize when to stop. He is definitely improving, but he would do best with younger, more active cats who can match his energy—or potentially a dog best friend, as he seems to like everyone! Older cats just may not appreciate his enthusiasm. Olaf is vetted, neutered, and all set for his forever home. He’s fully litter box trained, doing great with his house manners, and would thrive with an adopter who understands kitten energy, can help him continue learning good social skills, and is excited to gain a loyal lap companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly, playful kitten with a big heart, Olaf could be your perfect match! Olaf is from a stray surrender.

More about this rescue
Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.
Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.
Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.
If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
