Ruchi (Orange) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Elfin Forest, California

Fostered in Carlsbad CA
Born ~6/30/26

Meet Ruchi!

Ruchi (aka orange collar) is a small black male kitten with a HUGE personality! He is pathologically social - he wants to be right in your face, involved in everything you're doing, and as close to his people as possible. If you're looking for a kitten who will never make you wonder where he is, Ruchi is your guy!

Ruchi is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented. He loves attention and would be happiest in a home where he can have plenty of companionship. He would not do well being left alone for long periods of time and would thrive with another friendly cat, a playful dog, or people who are around often.

His favorite thing? Playing fetch! Ruchi loves carrying his toys around and will happily bring them to you, hoping you'll throw them so he can chase them down and bring them back again. He's basically a tiny black retriever!

He is:

Sweet and affectionate
Extremely social and people-loving
Friendly with other cats
Friendly with dogs
Loves carrying toys and playing fetch
Very motivated by treats
Very needy in the absolute best way

Ruchi is looking for a home where his humans will appreciate his "I need to be involved in EVERYTHING" personality and give him the companionship, attention, and playtime he craves.

If you're looking for a loving little shadow who will follow you around, bring you his toys, and make sure you're never lonely again, Ruchi may be your perfect match!

As with all TTF kittens, Ruchi is neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccines, treated for fleas and worms and microchipped.
