Meet Matthew Macaroni, the playful house panther with a big heart!
In his first year, Matty has faced more challenges than many do in a lifetime. Despite losing one eye and undergoing three surgeries, his spirit shines brighter than ever.
Matty has fully recovered and is now seeking his forever family! Even after his challenging start, this sweet boy is full of life and love. At only one year old, Matty still has the playful energy of a kitten and loves running and playing with his toys, snuggling up for cuddles, and “chatting” about his day with the cutest purrs and meows.
Matty has great litter box habits and reliably uses his scratching post to keep his nails in check. While he sometimes needs a gentle reminder that "hands are not toys" after begging for belly rubs, he absolutely loves his people.
With proper introductions, he would happily coexist with another playful, energetic young cat or a respectful, cat-friendly dog.
Sweet Matty is eager to start his next chapter with joy, laughter, and endless affection with you!
