In the shelter’s words

Meet Mango – A Little Kitten with a Big Spirit Mango is a handsome gray tabby kitten bursting with spunk, personality, and charm. He loves people, thrives on attention, and is always eager to be part of whatever you're doing. Affectionate and playful, Mango has never met a toy—or a lap—he didn't like. Mango's story is a special one. As a young kitten, he was unable to walk normally due to an abnormality affecting his spinal cord. Whether he was born with it or it developed following an infection early in life remains unknown. Through dedicated physical therapy, acupuncture, and a lot of determination, Mango learned to walk and now gets around on his own as his everyday normal. He does have a funny little walk that makes him uniquely Mango, but don't let that fool you. He runs, jumps, climbs, chases toys, wrestles with friends, and enjoys life to the fullest. His mobility difference doesn't slow him down—it simply adds to his character. Mango is looking for a family that will appreciate his resilience, celebrate his uniqueness, and give him the love he deserves. In return, he'll provide endless entertainment, affection, and inspiration. If you're looking for a kitten with personality, heart, and a truly remarkable story, Mango may be the perfect addition to your family. * * * * * Adoption Application here All adoptions include: spay/neuter, FVRCP vaccination (core feline vaccine), rabies vaccination (if old enough), FIV/FeLV test, deworming, microchipping, an initial complimentary veterinary examination at a specified veterinary practice.
