About Mocha

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Mocha is a sweet little kitty with a petite frame and a gentle nature. She loves being near people and will often follow you around the house, basking in your company. Mocha is especially fond of petting, and she truly delights in playtime and snuggles with other cats—her playful and social side shines when she's with feline companions. She has found herself a favorite warm perch up high for napping, and she's becoming more comfortable settling in your lap each week, though she prefers to stand rather than sit at first. Mocha’s adoption fee covers her microchip, registration, up-to-date core vaccinations, sterilization, and preventive care while in foster care. All adoptions require an in-person meet at MARS and cannot be transported remotely. Adopters are encouraged to plan for the cost of pet insurance and lifelong care. The listed breed is a best-guess; DNA results may vary if you test her after adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
