About this Cat
*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. Buttermilk is a charming little kitten full of playful energy and heart-melting sweetness. Whether he's chasing toys, tumbling with his siblings (especially his buddy Butterfly), or curling up in your lap, he's always bringing joy wherever he goes. When he's not darting around with kitten zoomies, you'll likely find him nestled on your shoulder or snoozing peacefully in your arms or lap. He loves human attention and will purr contentedly while being pet or held. With his mix of fun-loving spirit and affectionate cuddles, Buttermilk is the perfect companion for anyone looking for a kitten who's equal parts silly and snuggly. Buttermilk was born in rescue. 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.

Adopt Buttermilk and Receive Buttermilk's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Buttermilk's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Buttermilk's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Buttermilk, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Buttermilk's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Buttermilk was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Buttermilk’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Buttermilk’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Buttermilk’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
