Description:
Prepare to be charmed by our sweet, shy trio specializing in slow-burn love and purrfect companionship! Macaroni, Macaroon, and Mango are three adorable orange-hued kittens who, while initially a bit hesitant, blossom beautifully with patience and understanding. Macaroni, our brave trailblazer, boasts a handsome ticked coat and intelligent eyes. He's learning to love human affection, especially when a delicious meat tube is involved! He tolerates handling and even enjoys a good snuggle. Macaroon, a dainty creamsicle-colored princess, observes the world with gentle concern. She’ll tolerate pets, but prefers to keep all four paws on the ground – a tiny hiss might remind you if you forget! Mango, a classic orange tabby, embodies joyful cluelessness. One moment he's enjoying pets, the next he's zipping off in surprise! He's a master of bewildered gazes, but don't let his antics fool you; he’s learning to trust, even sleeping on laps at night. These three darling kittens share an undeniable bond and a passion for "meat tube time," transforming into a meowing, affectionate triangle of pure joy. Each has a unique beauty: Macaroni's ticked fur, Macaroon's creamy dilute orange, and Mango's classic tabby stripes. While Macaroni is nearly fully trusting, Macaroon and Mango are still finding their courageous footing. They adore playing with rolling toys and thrive in the company of other cats. They are also enthusiastic groomers, both giving and receiving. These precious kittens are seeking a quiet, patient home where their new family is willing to invest the time to earn their trust and unlock their boundless affection. Are you ready for a lifetime of sweet, shy snuggles? Macaroni 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.
