Hi, I’m Giovanni, but you can call me Gio! I’ve come a long way since I first arrived at ARP as a semi-feral mama back in 2023. I used to be pretty unsure of people, but I’ve learned a lot about trust and settling into home life.
I’m not a lap cat, but I do like affection on my own terms. Once I decide you're my person, I’ll happily soak up pets and brushing sessions. I’m also quite the talker, if you like a cat who meows back, we’ll get along great!

Playing isn’t really my go-to, but I’ve been known to get excited over a string toy when the mood strikes. I’m still working on some litter box issues with going #2, and I tend to do much better when I don’t have access to fabric spots like rugs, carpets, or beds. I might also benefit from access to a little outdoor space like a secure catio (but I’m strictly an indoor-only cat otherwise!).

I’d love to have a feline friend in my new home, I really thrive when I have another cat around to show me the ropes. I know I’ll need some patience and time, but I have so much love to give once I feel safe. If you’re looking for a quiet companion with a gentle soul, I’d love to meet you!

I've been at the ARP since 2/22/25 (most recently) and I'm currently at PetSmart.

The Animal Rescue Project is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed.

Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet.

Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible.

All cats and kittens are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medical to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and mites they may have. All cats and kittens are feline leukemia tested, and cats at least a year old are also tested for feline immuno virus. Each cat or kitten receives the FVRCP vaccine; if a kittens stay with us is long enough, two or three boosters will be given after the initial vaccination.

Most cats and older kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of kittens not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization.

The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.
