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

Hello, my furiends! Batter Up! Please welcome Mattingly to the Scruffy Paws family! One year old and full of playful kitten energy - Mattingly came to Scruffy from a large hoarding situation. While he enjoys the company of other cats, he is a competitive rookie during mealtime, often trying to steal home plate or at least the food from it. To help with this, he gets fed in a separate room. Mattingly also loves the spotlight; if you are petting another cat, he will come over and gently nudge your hand away because he is the MVP.

Mattingly is lovable and affectionate; still, loud noises and quick movements will make him nervous, but he bounces back within seconds and is once again purring and playing. Happy to plop by your side and roll over for belly rubs; Mattingly enjoys being around humans and will seek you out for pets, and be prepared for lots of drooly purrs! He can be picked up but gets wiggly in your arms. Feathery wands, ball tracks, and catnip mice are his thing...and he will carry around a jingly mouse in his mouth while quietly chirping to himself. Mattingly has a unique quality - his lil overbite, and he can't help but always stick out his tongue! Recently, Mattingly has found his meow, and if old-school wrestler Ric Flair was a kitten, it'd sound like Mattingly. So, if you are cooking dinner, expect to hear a little "Meow-oooo" at your feet.

Mattingly is learning boundaries from the resident cats in his foster home, and he should go to a family with another confident cat. He has not been around dogs or other animals, so we are unsure how he would be with them. Children 10 and older would be best for Mattingly.

Meet Mia – the gray goofball with no chill and even less spatial awareness!

This 8-month-old stunner is a total snugglebug with people—she loves everyone she meets and isn’t shy about showing it. Her signature move? Climb aboard, flop dramatically, then roll around in the most ungraceful (yet adorable) way possible. Personal space? Never heard of it.

Mia is high energy with a capital E. She lives for playtime—whether it’s chasing plastic springs, pouncing on feather toys, or leaping like an acrobat after a laser pointer, she’s always in motion. But when the zoomies fade, she’s ready for a good cuddle and a cozy nap.

Mia can be a little diva-ish when it comes to other cats. She needs time to warm up and definitely expects her feline roommates to respect her boundaries—but once she’s comfy, she’s right in the middle of the fun, tearing through the house with her siblings and foster friends Hen-rieta, Gus, Josh, and Frankie.

She’d love to be adopted with one of her buddies, but could also thrive with a chill, respectful resident cat who’s willing to take things slow.

Mia is the total package: snuggly, sassy, and endlessly entertaining.

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.
