I currently live with my sister, Rita, 2 resident cats and a resident dog. I am a super sweet, confident and energetic girl! I am very curious and always want to know what you are doing – I will follow you around and adorably flop in front of you so you will pet and play with me. I love to cuddle with my sister and the other cats in the home, but I will also crawl into your lap for a cuddle session! I absolutely love a mouse wand toy. I would do best in a home with another active cat or kitten to keep me busy –    I get along really well with my sister and would love to be adopted with her.   In fact, here’s a sweet video of me with my bestie, Rita! Josie is from a stray surrender with 5 siblings. 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.
