Pico

Hi there! I'm Pico. I'm a super sweet kitty who just needed a little patience and time to really shine. I started out a bit shy, but as I've come out of my shell, I've discovered that I actually love being social and hanging out with my people.

I was once a stray and don't know what happened to my mom, but I'm ready to leave my past behind and focus on my future-preferably one filled with love, kindness, and plenty of yummy food. With a gentle heart and a little patience, I'll reward you by being a wonderful, loyal companion.

If you're looking for a sweet kitty who blossoms with love, I might just be your perfect match.

Pico is from a local reservation. 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.
