About Isotta

Isotta is a 1-year-old male from a litter taken in as bottle babies at just 10 days old. He's brimming with energy and never misses a chance to run, climb, or start a game of chase. If there’s a toy around—especially a laser pointer or something mysterious—he’ll find it. Despite his drive to play nearly nonstop, Isotta sometimes takes a rare moment to pause and observe the world before diving back into activity. His vocal side comes out whenever he needs attention or is searching for you; there’s no doubt when he wants company. He’s also surprisingly affectionate, seeking out snuggles under the covers or indulging in a good tail-chasing session. Isotta definitely needs a playful feline friend in the home, and he’d especially love to be adopted with his littermates Mercedes & Fraschini. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
