Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Cinnamon and Saffron, a dynamic duo of adorable kittens ready to pounce their way into your heart! These sweet siblings are as charming as they are playful, and while they'd be thrilled to find a home together, they can also be adopted separately. Saffron, the more adventurous of the pair, is a brave little explorer. While he’s still learning to trust canine companions (he’ll occasionally voice his opinions towards resident dogs!), he's happy to share a room as long as you're there for reassurance. Cinnamon, a touch more reserved, is steadily gaining confidence and will soon be joining Saffron in embracing new experiences. Both kittens, however, are absolute champions when it to making feline friends and get along wonderfully with other cats! You'll adore their unique vocalizations – from excited little "duck noises" and squawks to the increasingly cat-like meows they're developing, every sound is precious. These two love to play, chasing toys and exploring every nook and cranny. When playtime is over, they're all about snuggling; they absolutely love to be in your lap, basking in attention and dishing out purrs. They also adore playing with their human companions, transforming any string or toy into an epic adventure. Cinnamon and Saffron boast wonderfully engaging personalities that will bring endless joy and entertainment to their new home. They’re looking for a loving household that understands their individual personalities and can provide a safe space for them to continue growing and thriving. Come meet these delightful kittens and prepare for a double dose of cuteness (or choose your favorite individual)! Cinnamon is from an owner surrender with one sibling. 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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2026, 9:31 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $250.00 plus taxHi there! I’m Pretzel. I was found wandering alone outside, just trying to stay warm before the first big cold snap of the winter. Luckily, a very kind human found me and brought me somewhere safe. Ever since then, I’ve been living my best indoor life, feeling grateful for every cozy blanket, yummy meal, and gentle hand that pets me. I’m a calm, polite little guy. I wait quietly for my food, I love curling up on laps, and I melt the moment someone starts petting me. Snuggles are kind of my specialty. I’m sweet, affectionate, and I purr like a motorboat when I’m happy. Don’t let my gentle side fool you, though — I love to play! My favorite toys are a little stuffed pickle and a feather wand that makes me leap around like a tiny acrobat.  I also like other kitties and would love to have a feline friend in my new home. If you’re looking for an adorable, sweet companion who will nap on your lap, play by your side, and love you with his whole heart, I’d be so excited to meet you. Maybe I’m the little twist of joy your home has been waiting for!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.  Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.  We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance.  Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history. //

Story
Meet JJ 💕 JJ is a very sweet girl with an incredibly loving personality. She adores gentle attention and has a calm, affectionate nature that makes her a joy to be around. Whether she’s soaking up pets or quietly keeping you company, JJ has a way of making everyone feel special. JJ is currently finishing up her vetting, so she won’t be ready to go home just yet. She will be fully ready for adoption after 2/28/26. The good news is that you can still secure her with a hold fee until she’s cleared and ready to join her forever family. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, affectionate companion, JJ may be the perfect match. Keep an eye on her—this sweet girl won’t be available for long! 🐾

Meet Annie 🌸 Annie is a gentle, affectionate girl with a heart full of love. She has a sweet personality and enjoys being near her people, whether that means quiet cuddle time or simply sharing the same space. Annie’s calm and friendly nature makes her an easy companion and a wonderful addition to any home. Annie is still completing her vetting, so she won’t be ready for full adoption until after 2/28/26. However, a hold fee can be placed to reserve her until she’s cleared and ready to head to her forever family. If you’re searching for a loving kitty with a soft, soulful presence, Annie may be the perfect match for you. 🐾
