If you've been looking for a feline who loves a good conversation, then Sherma is your boy! This handsome, all-black kitten—from the tip of his ears to his tiny toe beans—has striking yellow-green eyes and a big personality to match. Sherma loves to voice his opinion on everything, whether he's happily reminding you it's dinner time or sharing his thoughts on the best cuddle spot. He does, of course, have his quiet moments, usually when he's focused on batting around a favorite toy or enjoying a deep nap. Like his siblings (all named after characters from the Silksong game!), Sherma is a little shy at first. It takes a gentle approach and a little patience to earn his trust. The fastest way to his heart? The moment he hears that wet food can open, his reserve melts away, and he'll be rubbing against your legs for pets and attention. If you have the time to let him blossom, this chatty, affectionate kitty will be a wonderful addition to your home. Are you ready for a long conversation about the future with Sherma? Sherma is from a stray surrender with mom and 6 siblings. 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.
