My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Howdy! I'm Mario and I am a handsome, long-legged young boy ready to meet my loving adopter and forever home! I am very sweet and friendly, and I like pets, even on my tummy! I love to play, and would do very well (with a slow introduction) in a home with a high-energy feline friend. I am currently being fostered in a home with several senior cats who do not appreciate my attempts to play with them, but we all get along when I leave them alone! I have not been exposed to children while in foster, but I think I will get along with kids if they are respectful. And we do not know my history with dogs, but I should be okay with a cat-savvy, or mellow dog who won’t mind being chased around by a young, active, playful cat!

I was hit by a car and crawled into a trailer. Someone saw that I was dragging myself with a broken pelvis, one side badly shattered, and Kitty Connection was called to take me to the animal hospital where I have had two surgeries: one to insert pins to help me heal, and the second to remove a pin. I can now walk without a limp, and once my fur grows back, there will be no sign of my medical journey! All along I have been stoic and ready to jump and play even when my surgeon told me to rest, and now that I have healed, I can jump and play all I want!

I love sitting in a sunny window seat, and on a cat tree in front of a window where I can catch sunny rays and watch Cat TV. I am very curious, and will do well with lots of enrichment toys to keep me busy. I don’t snuggle on the sofa, but maybe I will with time. My foster mom’s lap is usually filled with senior cats who claim the space first. I am okay being picked up, but not held for long, or being carried around. When I am called, I respond for a few pets, but then I need to be off on my next adventure! I have a good appetite, and can hear a cat food can being opened from the second floor! I have good litter box manners.

Are you the lucky adopter who will have the good fortune to look into my sweet eyes every day?
