About

Meet Holmes

Hi! I’m Holmes, and I am a really friendly guy. I love being around people, getting petted, purring and rubbing your hands, legs, or anything I can reach. Especially if there is food involved!  I have been around other cats (especially my twin brother Watson), dogs, and even horses. I was with a young child, but she was a little too rough with me, so a gentle approach is much appreciated. It may take a day or so to come out of my shell, but you will never find a better companion than me to fill your home with love!   Holmes was an 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.
