My name is Mars!

My friends and I were a transplant from another rescue in Mississauga that was shutting down. I was a very vocal boy (in a bad way) when I first arrived and didn’t want the humans getting close at all. I withdrew myself and spent much of my time hiding as far away from the humans as possible. Like many of my friends, I improved with time and patience. I’ve learned how to relax and now enjoy lounging around in comfy beds. I’m a fairly easy going cat and pretty good about keeping to myself when you’re too busy for me. I enjoy human attention and I’m happy to approach you for headbutts and treats. I am very food motivated and can sometimes get too excited and graze you with my teeth (I only have my bottom canines and incisors). I’m fairly indifferent to things like toys and catnip. I’m also slowly learning being picked up isn’t as horrifying as I originally thought. I’m very healthy for my age and extremely agile! I have the adorable Scottish fold ears but I am NOT a Scottish fold. I had a long history of ear mites/ear infections that became so itchy that this “cauliflower” ear is from years of self-trauma. My ears will always be a little itchy due to how it healed. I get along with other cats well enough, but it’s more so a tolerance thing. I’ll likely do great on my own in a patient household.Applications are reviewed in order received until an appropriate match is made.
