About Mouse

Mouse started life in a huge unmanaged cat colony, and after a year in foster care, he's made a name for himself—Mr. Mowz suits him much better these days. He’s got a strong, confident presence and isn't shy about demanding your attention, especially if there’s a laser toy involved. Conversation is a big part of his day; he'll talk until you notice him. You’ll be struck by his emerald green eyes, the ultra-silky short tabby fur with bold striping, and those exceptionally long legs and tail—a feature you won’t soon forget. That tail practically sweeps the floor, making him look like a pint-sized tiger on patrol. Mouse has a playful side bordering on the ridiculous, so expect regular entertainment from his antics. He prefers homes with older children or none at all, as he appreciates a calmer atmosphere. After a challenging start, he’s ready for his own happy ending. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
