Squiggles may be petite, but he has a personality approximately 47 times his size. This little guy arrived as a tiny bottle baby and has come a very long way since those early days of round-the-clock care. Today, he’s fearless, curious, and always on the move, convinced the world was created specifically for his entertainment. He’s lightning fast, obsessed with shoelaces, fascinated by everything, and has recently discovered his voice—so naturally, he has plenty to say.

Being raised as a bottle baby made Squiggles especially people-oriented. He absolutely loves human attention and wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing. He’ll follow you from room to room, climb directly up you if you aren’t paying enough attention, and happily supervise your day. He would be especially happy with someone who works from home or is around much of the time.

When his busy little brain finally powers down, Squiggles turns into the sweetest cuddlebug. He loves snuggling against your chest while kneading with his tiny paws, and he may suckle on your neck, finger, or a favorite fuzzy blanket while purring away. He’s traded his bottle for big-kitten meals, but food remains one of the great loves of his life—and he makes sure everyone knows when it’s mealtime!

Squiggles has also discovered how much fun other kittens can be and loves wrestling and playing with his feline friends. Because he was a bottle baby and didn’t have a mom to teach him all the finer points of being a cat, he needs a home with another friendly, playful cat who can continue teaching him proper feline manners.

Squiggles is a tiny package of confidence, chaos, cuddles, and comedy. If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, follow you everywhere, and then curl up on your chest when the day is done, this little wiggle worm may be your perfect match. ❤️

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.
