Prepare to have your heart stolen by Julian, a charming "cow cat" with a story of resilience and a bottomless well of affection! This handsome fella, still a young one at about a year old, survived a harsh Minnesota winter, found in a garage and battling parasites. But those tough beginnings have only made him appreciate the warmth and love of an indoor home even more. Julian might start a little shy, but once he trusts you, get ready for a loyalty and snuggles beyond compare. What began as cautious hisses quickly transformed into an endearing quest for attention, weaving between legs and demanding belly rubs. He adores his people and considers your return home the highlight of his day, greeting you with happy chirps and chattering.
This sweet boy isn't interested in the great outdoors; his ideal paradise involves soft blankets (especially under them!), your lap, and thrilling sessions with a cat wand. He’s also a big fan of other friendly felines, always eager for a new pal. Julian's unique brand of affection includes gently placing his paws on your face – his way of saying, "I love you and want to be close!" While he’s learning to temper his playful nibbles, his gentle nature shines through. Julian is truly the snuggliest cat you’ll ever meet. He just wants to lay in your arms, purring contentedly. If you're looking for an incredibly sweet, chatty, and devoted companion who will remind you daily how grateful he is for a loving home, Julian is your guy. Come meet this extraordinary cat and experience his magic for yourself! Julian is from a stray surrender.
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.

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.
