About this Cat
Meet Phantom! This adventurous little climber loves scaling anything he can get his paws on and wrestling with his siblings during playtime. But once the excitement winds down, Phantom is all about the cuddles—he’ll crawl right into your lap for a well-earned nap. While he’s not the biggest fan of being petted, Phantom still has a soft, sweet side that shines through when he’s curled up close. He and his littermates spend their days playing, napping, and charming everyone they meet. With his bold spirit and cuddly heart, Phantom is ready to steal yours. Phantom is from a local shelter. 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.

Adopt Phantom and Receive Phantom'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, Phantom's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Phantom's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Phantom, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Phantom'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 Phantom was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Phantom’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Phantom’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, Phantom’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!
