Story
Meet Luigi (and his brother Mario, if you’d like a pair)! Luigi was rescued in 2021 at about 6 months old along with his brother Mario. Compared to Mario, Luigi is the more easygoing, social one—he tends to interact well with strangers and settles in quickly with new people. Luigi isn’t as clingy as his brother, but he’s still affectionate in a very charming way: he’ll check in throughout the day, wander over for a head scratch, and then go back to lounging and doing his own thing. He’s the kind of cat who makes a home feel calm and friendly without demanding constant attention. Mario and Luigi are available together or individually, and I’m happy to include food/supplies for the right home.

Story
Meet Mario (and his brother Luigi, if you’d like a pair)! Mario was rescued in 2021 at about 6 months old (so he’s ~4–5 years old now). He can be a little standoffish at first—he likes to observe and decide you’re worth his trust—but once he bonds, he becomes a true lap cat who wants to be with you as much as possible. And fair warning: Mario is a big cat who firmly believes he’s a kitten. He’ll happily take up your entire lap (and then some) like it’s his full-time job. Mario is playful and still has “kitten energy” in the best way: he loves to romp, chase, and stay engaged with his people. He’s also an excellent nap buddy (he takes cozy lounging very seriously). We need to rehome due to a relocation. :-( Mario and his brother Luigi are available together or individually. I’m happy to send food/supplies with Mario to the right home. Looking for: a patient adopter who will give him a little warm-up time—and then enjoy having a devoted cuddle companion with jumbo lap-cat ambition.
