💕 Meet Hansel & Gretel — A VERY BONDED Pair! 💕

Hi, we’re Hansel & Gretel, and just in case there was any confusion…we come as a package deal! We are VERY bonded and definitely do better when we have each other. Hansel looks to Gretel for reassurance about pretty much everything, and Gretel has happily accepted her role as big sister, protector, and occasional supervisor. 😂

Gretel takes her job VERY seriously. At mealtime, playtime, naptime, and especially petting time, she makes sure Hansel is doing okay. And if you’re petting him? She may even supervise to make sure you’re doing it correctly. She has standards. 😹

Gretel is a sweet, curious, playful, and VERY smart girl. She loves being petted and has recently discovered that humans are pretty useful when you want attention. She’ll even sit right in front of you and politely-but-clearly let you know that it is PETTING TIME. She’s also quite the little climber and loves finding the highest possible spot to lounge. If there’s something to climb, she’ll probably figure it out! 🧗‍♀️🐱

Hansel is the shy little brother who is still taking his time getting comfortable. He’s especially curious and playful at night when he feels brave enough to explore. He’s starting to enjoy pets and human interaction, but being held is still a little too scary for now. Luckily, he has Gretel showing him that humans, life, and cuddles aren’t so bad after all. ❤️

Most importantly, Hansel and Gretel are a team. Gretel gives Hansel confidence, Hansel looks to Gretel for comfort, and together they’re learning how wonderful life can be. They’ll need a patient family willing to let them continue growing at their own pace—but watching these two blossom together will be incredibly rewarding. 🥰

Two hearts, two personalities, one inseparable little family. Hansel needs his Gretel, and Gretel clearly wouldn’t have it any other way. 💕🐾

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.
