Story
🐾 Meet Mochi — Your Perfectly Plump Princess! 🐾 Mochi is a sweet, round little dumpling of a cat looking for her forever home! This adorable girl lives up to her name: soft, squishy, and absolutely irresistible. She’s a plus-size queen who believes snacks are a love language and naps are a lifestyle. Mochi is gentle, affectionate, and always ready to roll (sometimes literally!) over for pets. She enjoys lounging in sunny windows, slow waddles around the house, and supervising all household activities from the comfiest spot she can find. She’d be happiest in a calm home where she can soak up attention and continue her journey toward a healthy weight with someone who will cheer her on. Mochi gets along with friendly humans of all ages and may do well with other pets given proper introductions—though she will absolutely try to steal their treats if you’re not looking. If you’re searching for a cuddly companion with a big heart and even bigger cheeks, Mochi is your girl. Come meet her and fall in love with every adorable squish!
