About Mocha

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Meet Mocha, a super sweet and wonderfully chill tortoiseshell kitten, estimated to be around 12 to 14 weeks old. Mocha is the perfect combination of playful and independent—she loves to chase toys, especially her favorite toy mice, but she is just as happy to climb into your lap for warmth and cuddles. Though she’s independent and enjoys her alone time, she will seek out your company, often curling up beside you when she’s ready to relax. Curious and active in true kitten fashion, Mocha was born to a feral mom but has flourished in a loving foster home where she’s lived with other cats and has even learned to tolerate dogs. Her fur is exceptionally soft, medium and nearly short in length, making petting her a delight. She has already been spayed, treated for fleas and worms, and is up to date on her rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, so she’s ready to find her forever home. Fun fact: With a birthday at the end of April, Mocha is a Taurus—known for their gentle, affectionate, and loyal nature. Give her the loving home she deserves and she’ll reward you with purrs, playfulness, and companionship. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
