As much of a ‘shadow’ as she can be, she is okay being alone.  Hattie has been incredibly patient with even the loudest and roughest toddlers. She also has plenty of spunk to play and keep up with her siblings.  Hattie and Spookie are a bonded pair and came to Ruff Start via a rescue in rural Minnesota. They were found living among dozens of other animals and left to fend for themselves.  But those days are far behind them.  During the last few months with a foster family, these kitties have completely adapted to and fallen in love with indoor life alongside human (and cat) best friends.  All 7 kittens* in this crew are PURRFECT!  They are some of the most snuggly and easy-going cats this foster has ever seen. They have been around lots of children (including toddlers) and adults and are very accustomed to being held and pet and snuggled and hugged. They LOVE LOVE LOVE to be near or on people.  They instantly trust and love humans and they assume all other cats want to be instant friends. They have not met dogs but with slow introductions, it is suspected they would be good friends.  Like all kittens, this crew does lots of playing and lots of sleeping. They love to wrestle with each other and chase toys (real and imaginary) around the room.  They chase each other from one end of the house to the other - up and over the couch, diving under chairs, leaping over shoes.  They explore every nook and cranny they can find; the bathtub was a recent discovery.  They loved sliding around and discovering water!! Their play sessions are always followed by a nap; if there is not an available human lap, they will curl up with a sibling.  They have been found in boxes, on iPads and in the dirty laundry basket.   All of these kitties have a perfect litter box record, use scratching posts, and are good eaters (and will do most anything for a treat).  If you are looking to add maximum cuteness, tons of fun and many snuggles to your home, then these kitties might be for you! The kitties are with a foster in Minneapolis; after applying, you are welcome to visit/meet them.   * Litter consists of Bessie, Lily Noelle, Hattie, Spookie, French Fry, Lucky 13, and Duchess. Hattie is from a rescue partner. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

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.December 4, 2023, 1:54 pm

A nice young girl there helped me learn that humans are decent, and my kittens became quite the social butterflies with her help. As for me, I liked the little girl and got comfortable with the other humans there, but I’m more shy and uncertain. I can get a little overwhelmed by new people, but I've seen kindness in their eyes. What I truly need now is a quiet and calm home where I can feel safe and slowly learn to trust and open up. I know that with patience and love, I can become a wonderful companion. Will you take a chance on me? Love, Imani Imani is from a stray surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
