Meet Tomato! He is a very sweet and funny cat with a fun-loving personality. You can tell he just loves his life.
He should go home with another animal for sure, I would prefer his sister Lettuce, since he spends all his time with her. To learn more about her click here.
Tomato is very affectionate and loving with his favorite people. He likes to snuggle when he wants to. He loves his belly being rubbed more than any other cat I have ever met. He likes to join us in bed at the end of the day.
Tomato is from a local owner surrender 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.
