Name: Skylar
DOB: 3/05/21
Adoption Fee: $200

 


Hi everyone.  I’m Skylar and I live with my foster family where I’ve been since the end of April when my 3 siblings lived with me too.  Now it’s just me and sister Skylar.  We play a lot in the basement together climbing and chasing and wrestling (I usually win since I’m a little bit bigger!).  My favorite toy is the green fuzzy ball that I can chase or carry around in my mouth.  


 

When my foster mom is home we get to play in the rest of the house and nap on pillows or sleep in her lap, but only after we go exploring or play in boxes or climb the tower to watch birds.  I love winding around feet or using my squeaky meow to talk with my foster family so they pick me up and pet my tummy.
 

When I got my shots and surgery at the vet they discovered that I have an ovary medical issue that caused me to be born with 1 kidney.  This does not affect me at all but please be extra careful with items I can get into around the house as anything toxic is extra dangerous.  I also had a seroma after surgery which is just a swollen fluid bulge but it’s gone now.

 

My foster mom says I’m the sweetest kitty she’s seen yet and thinks I will love any forever home where I get lots of loving attention and a few fuzzy balls.  If my sister Skylar can come too we’ll be extra good, eating any kind of food and using the litter box all the time!  But if not I’ll be a purring, happy kitty too.


 

 




We highly encourage adopting kittens in pairs for their emotional and behavioral well-being. It is an amazing experience to watch the lifelong bond that forms and that you get to be a part of. We are not trying to push more kittens out the door.   If you are thinking of adopting a single kitten we want to prepare you for behaviors you will almost certainly see and have only the kittens’ best interest at heart, and your satisfaction as an adopter and pet parent. At Ruff Start Rescue part of our mission involves education and we would like to make sure you are making an informed decision and hopefully avoiding any issues that can come up. Here is a link to more information on Tarzan Syndrome (Single Kitten Syndrome) and another on the benefits of adopting kittens in pairs.
