My story

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

Meet Mario – Our Little Highway Survivor 🖤

Mario is an approximately 1-year-old neutered male black cat who has been with us since January 6, and his story is nothing short of incredible.

Mario arrived at the shelter on a freezing winter day after being found huddled along the side of Highway 2 near Tilney Road. We wish Mario could tell us exactly what happened, but based on his injuries we believe he likely curled up under the hood of a vehicle to stay warm. When the vehicle drove away at highway speed, Mario appears to have fallen out onto the road.

The fall left him with scrapes on his face, a head injury, and several broken teeth. Thankfully, a kind passerby noticed the injured little cat on the roadside and stopped to help, bringing him straight to us.

Since that day, Mario has been under the dedicated care of our veterinary team. His recovery journey hasn’t been simple. Mario needed all of his teeth removed, was neutered (a unique surgery as he was half-cryptorchid — meaning one testicle had not descended), and for a time he even needed his bladder manually expressed while his brain healed enough to communicate with his body again.

Through it all, Mario has been incredibly resilient.

Today, we are thrilled to say that Mario is healed, happy, and finally ready to find his forever family.

Despite everything he’s been through, Mario is a sweet, gentle soul who deserves a safe home where he will never have to fend for himself again.

Mario’s adoption fee is $75 and he is:
• Neutered
• Started on his vaccination schedule
• Microchipped

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to our Emergency Medical Fund. Because of your generosity, animals like Mario are able to receive the care they need to heal and get a second chance at life.

If you are interested in meeting this brave little survivor, please visit www.mjhs.ca, click the Adopt tab, then Adoptable Animals, and scroll to Mario’s sweet face to submit your application.

We can’t wait to help Mario find the loving home he deserves. 🖤
