About Mapache

Meet Mapache! His name, meaning raccoon in Spanish, perfectly suits his masked face and captivating personality. As a beautiful Siamese boy, Mapache greets you at the door, full of energy and affection. He communicates with a charming beckoning wave, especially when it's time for dinner. In the mornings, don’t be surprised if he playfully nibbles your nose to wake you up. With plenty of kitten energy, Mapache loves to play, wrestle, and dart around with his siblings and even the bigger resident cat. He’s the alpha kitty, always eager to eat first. Mapache is a social fellow who gets along well with other kitties, but his exuberance might overwhelm adult cats. He will need to be adopted with one of his siblings—Oso, Cielo, Estrella, or Maeve—or another kitten his age for the best companionship. Are you ready for a fun-loving and fearless companion? Mapache is waiting to join your family!
