Fig AKA Mr. Fig is a big, beautiful floof with an even bigger heart. This handsome boy may be a little cautious at first — he startles easily and likes to take a moment to assess new situations — but once he feels safe, his sweet and affectionate personality truly shines.
When Fig gets comfortable, he wants to be near his people. He’s the ultimate work-from-home companion and loves napping on a desk or cozy spot nearby, quietly supervising your day and keeping an eye on what his humans are up to. He doesn’t need to be in your lap at all times — just close enough to feel connected.
Fig is a big fan of gentle head scratches and interactive playtime with his people. Wand toys, feather teasers, and games you can play together are right up his alley. He’ll reward you with the cutest little “brrr” greeting noises when he sees you — his special way of saying hello. And if he’s feeling lonely, he won’t hesitate to sing you the song of his people to let you know he misses you.
His gorgeous, fluffy coat is something to behold. Fig does a wonderful job keeping himself tidy, but he’ll benefit from the occasional brushing to keep his floof in top condition (and it’s a great bonding activity, too!).
Fig would thrive in a home that understands he may need a little patience at first. Give him time, and you’ll gain a loyal, gentle companion who will be your soft, watchful shadow and devoted friend.
He does well with other cats and kids of all ages.

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.
