MATEO CHAVEZ (named after a character in 911 LONE STAR), and his 3 siblings (OWEN STRAND - TK STRAND - MARJAN MARWANI) were rescued from a backyard in Perris, California. Rescue mama was called by the nice lady that saved them from the dangers of the outdoors. We picked them up and will be helping the lady fix the mama cat. Now they are all ready for their FUREVER home.
Meet MATEO CHAVEZ, a lively orange tabby kitten from Perris, California, whose vibrant personality is as bright as his striking orange stripes.
MATEO CHAVEZ is the ultimate playful companion. He’s the kind of kitten who’ll dive headfirst into a game of chase, tumbling around with his toys and bringing endless joy to anyone lucky enough to watch his antics. His adventurous spirit keeps him on the move, always looking for something new to explore. Whether it’s scaling a bookshelf or darting under the couch for a sneak attack, MATEO CHAVEZ loves to roughhouse and show off his kitten ninja moves. He’s fearless, confident, and ready to turn any ordinary moment into an exciting adventure!
But don’t let his rambunctious side fool you—MATEO CHAVEZ is just as sweet and snuggly. After a day of playful chaos, he’s more than happy to curl up beside you for some quiet cuddle time. He has a knack for nuzzling his way into your arms, purring contentedly as if to say, "Thanks for the fun, now let’s relax together." And just like any curious kitten, MATEO CHAVEZ has a nose for discovering new things. He’ll follow you from room to room, making sure he doesn’t miss out on a single thing going on in his world.
MATEO CHAVEZ’s playful yet loving personality makes him an excellent fit for an active home where he can get plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities for mischief! He’s confident, full of life, and has the sweetest way of showing his affection after an exciting day. MATEO CHAVEZ is looking for a family who can match his enthusiasm for life and enjoy his mix of adventure and snuggles.
Are you ready to welcome MATEO CHAVEZ into your home, where playful moments and warm cuddles await? He’s more than ready to meet his new family and start a life full of fun and love.
MATEO CHAVEZ is DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / TABBY MIX. He is about 5 months old and is good with cats. He has never been around young children or dogs.
