Hi there-my name is Oz! I came into rescue with 10 other kittens, some most likely littermates, and I was very shy and scared. My foster mama uses some word called “feral”? Anyways, I’m past that now … well mostly… sometimes I do get skittish and scared and like to hide, or hiss at things that make me scared. But I have opened up immensely in my foster home and LOVE to get snuggled. I have the loudest purr motor ever. What’s even better than getting pets from my humans you ask? My kitty foster brother Fez. I love love love to follow him around and play with him, so another cat or kitten in my new home is an absolute necessity. The other cat should also be outgoing and friendly so I keep learning that humans are awesome and not scary. I will need some time to open up in a new home and understand that it’s safe. After I know that, I promise lots of affection and cuteness!
Oz is from a local reservation. 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.
