My name is Monkey!

*This animal is located at our same-day adoption center partner, Monticello PetSmart. Please contact this location prior to visiting to ensure this animal is still available. A paper adoption application will be completed on site so please do not submit an online adoption application. For more information on adopting from one of our adoption center partners, please visit our Adoption Center Animals page.

Monkey is my name, but not because I like to climb. I'm actually very cuddly. I don't mind being held as long as it comes with pets! I don't mind children at all either, in fact when my foster families kids have the cat teaser they are my favorite! I could chase the cat teaser all day!

I am a fun, cuddly and easy going boy. I love to follow my foster mom around because you never know when you can sneak in cuddles! I'll even fall asleep right on your lap. If I sound like a good fit for your family please come meet me!

Monkey is from a local reservation.

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.
