About Mario
Mario (aka Muzzy or Muzza) is a wonderfully vibrant and entertaining kitten with a very sweet disposition. He's confident & curious, full of enthusiasm for life. Enjoys the outdoors, on a lead or in the catio,and is surprisingly well-behaved for a male kitten with his energy levels.
He's a devoted parkour professional who likes to climb and LOVES to jump. He's also a bit of an uncoordinated dork at times, which makes for some great entertainment. And when he's not exploring his world or playing hard, he'll usually be snuggled up close by or with you for some chin smooches, and can sleep for ages.
Gets along really well with other cats and would ideally be adopted with another kitten, or he'll need to go to a home that already has a young-ish cat as a playmate.
Mario also experiences a little separation anxiety due to the tragic and traumatic accident that led to him being fostered. It's not all the time, but he would probably suit a home body or a family, and gentle parenting techniques are essential as he's a traumatised bean. Lots of patience, calm voices, with clear, consistent instructions. It doesn't always solve the issue, but you can definitely get him to adapt his behaviour.
⚠️ Doesn't really love being picked up or held for long, unless he's come to you for a cuddle. Will need an owner who understands this and won't take it personally, or force him, when he doesn't want affection. He'll also want to sleep with his new humans, as he does not do well if isolated at night.
So if you're looking for an energetic yet clingy companion cat that would be a great friend to your resident cat (or another cat you may consider adopting)... submit an application now, Mario is waiting to meet you!
Mario is a healthy raw/high quality fed kitten who has been wormed, flea treated, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped (microchip #956000016222764, source #RE101165). He is available for adoption. His adoption fee also includes his second vaccination at one of our rescue vets.
