Meet Dorothea, the delightful kitten who brings joy and playfulness to everyone she meets. Her sweet nature makes her the perfect companion for families, as she adores children and gets along wonderfully with other cats and even small dogs. Dorothea loves to cuddle and play, ensuring endless fun and affection for her future family.   If you're looking for a friendly and loving pet, Dorothea is ready to fill your home with warmth and happiness. Adopt Dorothea and experience the joy of unconditional love.   Her sibling is Drusilla if you are looking for two! Dorothea is from a local shelter. 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.
