About Mariposa

Meet Mariposa, an adorable and affectionate kitty who brings the perfect balance of playfulness and cuddles! She thrives on energy, chasing toys, climbing her cat trees, and zooming around your home, offering entertainment for hours. When she’s ready to wind down, Mariposa loves to curl up in your lap for some cozy snuggles. She is friendly with everyone—cats, dogs, and children alike! Mariposa's social nature means she’ll always be eager to make new friends and shower you with affection. This charming girl is in search of a forever home that can keep up with her vibrant personality and give her the love she deserves. Whether you seek a playful addition to your family or a snuggly companion, Mariposa could be the kitten you've been dreaming of. However, Mariposa does have a chronic upper respiratory condition that might cause her to sneeze and feel congested, especially when stressed. She takes affordable l-lysine supplements to manage her condition, and it doesn't impact her quality of life. It's important to keep her away from other cats when her symptoms flare up, although she's currently living harmoniously with them. Don't worry, her condition isn’t contagious to dogs or humans. Spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations, Mariposa is ready to meet her perfect match! If you're interested in inviting her into your home, please fill out our adoption application.
