Hazel

Description

Meet Hazel! Sweet Hazel is an affectionate young kitty who loves being around her people. She will happily greet you, enjoys being pet and held, and rewards attention with lots of purrs. Hazel is playful, curious, and always interested in what’s going on around her, but what she truly just wants is to be loved. She would do great with a kitty friend to play with and keep her company, making her a wonderful match for a home with another cat or kitten     Hazel needs to be adopted with her pal Pumpkin    Hazel is from a stray surrender with 6 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.
