Oreo was initially determined to be feral when she was discovered under the finder's deck with her litter mates and another litter. They were inter-mixed and being cared for by 2 feral mamas. She was planned for TNR (trap, neuter, release), so when she was spayed her ear tip was also clipped. Once back with the finder she seemed willing to be socialized, so she was placed in rescue instead of back to the outside world!
Oreo is still a little timid of humans but in time will relax and investigate.Oreo has been in my lap a few times, and will likely become more comfortable with it. She will be slow to warm up, though. Slow movement of feet and hands will make her more comfortable. We are very excited to find her forever family and live her best indoor life!
Oreo is from a stray surrender with 2 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.
