Momo

Momo is  a sweet and gorgeous little darling who is still  learning to live with people . She  was living outside with  her brother Gumby before being brought in and out of the cold. Momo is very fearful and shy, yet absolutely loves to have her chin, ears, and head scratched (see video ). She prefers the cat tree life and would appreciate having a window to look out of in her new home. Momo will need significant time and patience to adjust to civilized life. She tolerates quiet and calm human interaction, and is a gentle soul, but is still learning that people can be trusted. Sh e currently resides with a small dog and another cat, but they have had minimal interaction. She would do best in a quiet household without kids, but would likely benefit from another confident cat, and/or remaining with  her brother.   Momo is from stray surrender with her brother. 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.
