In the shelter’s words

Meet Judy! Judy is a spirited little kitten who will keep you laughing every single day. She’s a total snuggle bug and absolutely fabulous with other cats, kids, and even dogs. Because she’s so playful and social, Judy must have another young, playful cat in the home to keep her company. Judy has lots of quirky habits that make her one-of-a-kind. She loves splashing in any water she can find (sink, shower, or even dirty dishes!), and thinks climbing up your legs is a perfectly acceptable game. Here’s a little list all about Judy: * Still loves nursing on soft blankets every night * Takes her wet breakfast very seriously—be late and she’ll remind you by tapping your leg as you walk by * Hair is fair game at night (sleep accordingly ) * Naps all day and plays all night; needs another young, confident cat who can match her energy and keep her in check * Not aggressive at all—just great at holding her own * Does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes; if they want to play, she’s in * Good with kids of all ages as long as they respect her space; she’ll set boundaries if needed, then go right back to playing like nothing happened * A true foodie who will sample almost anything, but butter and Churus are top-tier favorites (also open to pancake bites and mustard licks) * A strict litter box rule follower: one box per cat plus one extra, kept spotless—she has zero tolerance for subpar facilities * Fiercely independent, yet likes to meow to keep tabs on where her people are * Loves window beds and watching birds; enjoys playing in water, and toys or treats in a container of snow keep her happily entertained She’s curious, adventurous, and yes—occasionally mischievous (like climbing blinds or knocking over cups just for fun). But when she’s all tuckered out, Judy will curl up for snuggles and remind you why life with a kitten is so special. If you’re ready for love, laughter, and just a little chaos, Judy is waiting to meet you! Judy was an owner surrender. 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.
