Meet Mini

Mini is from a litter of six kittens born to a neighborhood stray. After living in a garage with her mom until she was weaned, she was trapped and brought inside along with her siblings and mother.  Mini is the smallest, and smartest of the litter! Named “Mini” as short for “Mini-me”, she is the spitting image of her wily mother. Mini was trapped last, and yet was the first to figure out how to escape. Her siblings watched her pinpoint the weak point in their cage just seconds after being placed inside, when they hadn’t been able to find it for over 24 hours.  Although very shy and prone to hiding, Mini loves to play. Her bigger siblings often steal the toys from her, but when she gets the chance she loves to chase balls at top speed and pounce on toys. You’ll often find her gazing out the window or tucked into a tiny hidden spot. Convince this kitty there’s nothing to fear and you’ll have the cutest little trickster you could find. Mini 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.
