About Mario

Mario is basically the total package. Toys? He’s a pro. Kitten friends? He gets along with everybody. Naps? He’s mastered them all — whether sprawled out on the cat tower like a little king or snoozing away in your arms like the world’s snuggliest burrito. Here’s the best part — Mario loves attention and cuddles, but he’s not the clingy type. He’s got that perfect balance: sometimes you’ll find him curled up in a kitten pile with his buddies, and sometimes he just wants his own little moment of peace. Independent and affectionate? Yes please! Sweet Mario didn’t always have it easy. He had a rough start outside, and it took a determined volunteer a whopping three hours to finally catch him. That effort paid off, because now this once-scared little guy zooms to greet his people every time. Could you be the person Mario comes running to? Adopt this confident little cutie-pie today!
