Meet Mateo 🖤 Just over a year old and dressed in a sleek all-black coat, Mateo is equal parts charm and curiosity. This handsome boy is as sweet as they come—friendly, affectionate, and always ready to make a new friend (human or feline!). Mateo came to us with a bit of a limp, but after some rest and TLC, he’s back on all four paws and strutting his stuff like nothing ever happened. Now he’s ready to trade in his recovery time for playtime—because this boy loves to play! He gets along well with other cats, has a gentle, easygoing personality, and would fit right into a home looking for a loving (and slightly playful) shadow. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a sleek black coat, Mateo might just be your perfect match 🐾 Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
