Meet Panda — the shy little sweetheart of the tuxie trio!
Panda and her siblings were born outside to a feral mom and came indoors on 11/7 at about 7–8 weeks old. Since then, this gentle girl has been learning just how cozy and comforting the indoor life can be. She’s the most reserved of the group, but she’s also the first to purr once she feels safe—proof that she’s a soft little marshmallow at heart. Puffin and Panda complement each other beautifully, while still being social and affectionate with their foster family. They can be adopted separately, but would love to encourage them as a pair if possible. Here’s a sweet video of them together.
Panda has medium energy and loves quiet, sweet moments. Side and belly rubs are her favorite, and she’s happiest snuggled up with her brothers or settling in for a nice nap. She enjoys chasing toys, climbing, and wrestling during playtime, then curling up in an adorable tuxie pile afterward. She’s also fascinated by the fish game and nature videos on the tablet and communicates mostly with the cutest tiny chirps and trills.
Panda has impeccable litter box manners, is crate trained, and faithfully uses her scratching post. Like her siblings, she may give a warning hiss when nervous, but she’s very gentle and allows petting and handling. She’s been around adults, a large kitten-savvy dog, and an adult cat. She might do well with a calm dog, and she will definitely benefit from having a confident feline companion to help her continue building bravery. He would love to be adopted with his brother Puffin.
Panda would love a patient adopter who enjoys watching shy kittens blossom. With time, kindness, and a friendly kitty role model, this sweet baby sister is sure to shine.

Panda is from an owner surrender with 2 siblings. 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.
