About Mosaic

Mosaic, also known as Momo, is a senior calico and white cat who radiates friendliness and thrives on affection. Her gentle nature and need for interaction make her an ideal match for someone who wants a loving, social companion. She’s deeply bonded to her sister Charlotte—they’ve spent most of their lives together—so ideally, they’ll find a home as a pair. Mosaic especially loves belly rubs and cozy moments with people, rewarding attention with rumbling purrs. A couple of medical considerations come with Mosaic: she manages a chronic upper respiratory infection—mostly sneezing—and has a heart murmur that should be checked periodically by a vet. With these in mind, Mosaic will need an adopter ready to give a little extra care, but her warmth and affection more than make up for it. She gets along with both cats and children and is happiest in a family that appreciates her goofy, sweet energy. Bringing Mosaic (and Charlotte) home means welcoming endless companionship—and a very grateful cat. Your new best friend is just one click away.
