My name is Ember!

*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.

Ember is a sweet, friendly kitten-not quite as outgoing as some of her other siblings but she is definitely not shy either. She loves pets and will reward you with purrs but isn't quite yet a lap kitty but she is opening up more each day. She loves playing with her siblings too! 

Ember is from a stray surrender with 6 siblings.

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.

Delilah is getting better every day when it comes to accepting affection from humans! She is still a little cautious around humans and will hide when they first come into the room. However she does allow pets and will even let you hold her for short periods of time. She just doesn't LOVE the human attention and love yet but she will get there!

She loves to play and snuggle with her siblings too!
