About Mackie the lap

Meet Mackie, the sweetest little survivor brimming with love! At about 7 years old, this affectionate white tabby has endured far more than any cat should but remains a true angel at heart. Rescued from the streets of Newark, Mackie was once thin and hungry, spending too much time in a crate before finding the comforts of a real home. He adjusted quickly and has thrived since. Recently, Mackie faced a tough challenge with a serious tail infection that required amputation, but he showed remarkable resilience through it all. His recovery has been impressive, often wearing his recovery collar without any fuss. Mackie is a devoted lap cat, eager to curl up on the sofa or follow you from room to room, sharing his sweet little meows. He’s playful with his banana catnip toy and cherishes the company of his human. Due to early-stage kidney issues, he requires a special prescription diet but remains a happy, loving companion. The ideal home for Mackie would be calm, with someone ready to give him all the snuggles he deserves. He would prefer to be an only cat but could live harmoniously with a gentle feline friend. Since he occasionally gives affectionate nibbles, a home without young kids would be best. He hasn’t been tested with dogs yet. Mackie has waited a long time for a forever home, and we’re hopeful he’ll find it soon! All he really wants is a cozy sofa, a warm lap, and a person to love him in return. Located in Bloomfield, NJ, transportation is available for the right family. Your new best friend is just one click away!
