Meet the beautiful house-panther named Trina! Trina is a little shy at first and takes a few days to warm up to you, but when she does she likes to lie at your feet and get pets and belly rubs. She's not a big cuddler but will let you hold her a bit. She loves playing with wand toys and a laser pointer. She's quiet and very independent.
A great asset - she gets along with dogs and other cats. Trina has not yet been around children, but would probably do fine with older, respectful kids.
Trina is from a stray 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.
