Meet Coal! This adorable little guy is a curious, playful kitten with plenty of energy and a wonderfully goofy personality. He may be shy when something new comes along, but his curiosity usually wins out—and he’s often one of the first kittens to come back out and investigate.

Coal loves being with his siblings and would much rather have a playmate than entertain himself alone. He spends his days racing around, climbing, exploring, and having a blast in the three-way tunnel. When all that kitten energy finally runs out, he’s happy to curl up for a nap with his siblings.

He enjoys attention and will happily climb onto his people for some affection, although he’ll usually choose playtime if given the option! Coal has seen other pets through a screen door but hasn’t met them yet, so any introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully.

One of Coal’s most charming features is his wonderfully goofy expression—his eyes make him look just a little confused, and it’s absolutely adorable. He is fully litter box trained and ready to find a home where he can keep exploring, playing, and growing into his sweet personality. A home with another playful kitten or young cat would be ideal for this energetic little guy!

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.
 

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable pups, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog or puppy as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Please read the following general requirements carefully before submitting an adoption application. While this criteria is our typical standard, we understand all situations are unique! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel you meet one of these bullet points – feel free to submit an application anyway, so we can discuss your situation with you.

  • Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Submitted applications must be filled out fully and factually.
  • All applicants must reside in the state of Minnesota or its bordering states, unless a special exception has been made. Please email us at info@ruffstartrescue.org if you would like to discuss the potential for an out of state adoption.
  • Consider how you’ll manage an isolation period and be sure all existing pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and other routine health care before bringing a new pet home. An isolation period would be good for allowing that animal to settle in and learn the routine.
  • Please be aware of any rental/association or homeowners’ insurance restrictions you may have before applying. Such limits may include breed restrictions, number of pets allowed, weight requirements, etc.
  • All adopted animals must live indoors with their families and always be monitored closely when outdoors for their safety (with the exception of working cats).
  • We do not allow any medically-unnecessary surgical procedures, such as declawing; defanging; debarking; or cropping/docking (of tails or ears) to be conducted on any animal adopted from our rescue.
