Description:

This 8-week-old American Shorthair kitten is as bold as his name suggests. With sleek black fur and tiny specks of white on his chest and back paws, Melanite looks like he’s been sprinkled with stardust. He’s the fearless leader of the “Rock Cats” — a band of six adventurous kittens — and is always the first to explore anything new. Whether it’s a feather wand or a crinkly ball, Melanite takes his role as chief toy hunter very seriously.

He settled into his foster home like a typical kitty and owned the room in no time. Melanite currently dines like a tiny king on IAMS Kitten dry kibble and Fancy Feast Tuna Flakes variety wet food.

* Kittens under 4 months tend to do best in homes with another cat or kitten for socialization.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
