Story
Mango's Personality DOB: 1/1/26 Mango is a very handsome orange and white tabby with big green eyes. He is a sweet, moderately playful guy who just wants to be loved. Mango trots over to greet everyone who comes his way, stranger or not. He’s also a cuddler and is happy to settle in for a nap on a warm lap (or chest if you’re horizontal). He likes being carried around and is quick to purr. Mango enjoys being petted, but like many cats, lets you know when he has had enough. The same goes with playing. He chases a mouse on a string for a while or bats a ball around the floor with you, but then walks away like he has better things to do! We are going to try battery operated toys as we think that may keep him engaged longer. Mango can get a little over stimulated when petting or when you walk by he may grab your leg. This tells us he needs plenty of stimulation - activity around him, toys to play with and a kitty friend. Mango loves his cat tree and spends hours on the top perch napping or looking out the window. He also loves running water and likes to stand outside the bathroom to let you know he wants in - so he can jump up on the counter and drink while not caring that he is immersing his head in the water getting soaking wet! What Type of Home Mango Needs Mango needs a home with multiple people who are available to hang out with him. He is not demanding, but likes to be near people. We have not seen him interact with other cats but like most young male cats, we are convinced he needs a like-minded male kitty to bond and play with. Mango can gently nip or grab when letting you know he has had enough petting or playing or tries to get your attention, so he may do ok with cat-savvy older kids (over about 12 yrs of age), but not a home with young children now or in the future. Where Mango Came From Mango was a stray kitty who was trying to get inside an office building when a kind woman encountered him outdoors. Of course, this kitty - only about 6 months old at the time - had no business being outdoors. She brought him indoors for safekeeping and when nobody claimed him, he was transferred to SPCA's care.PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
