In the shelter’s words

MARIPOSA Mari (Mariposa) — “Butterfly” Meet Mariposa — or Mari, for short — a precious little girl with a personality that is every bit as adorable as she is! Mari is a petite shorthaired black beauty with just a sprinkling of white hairs on her chest. But her tiny size certainly doesn’t mean a tiny personality! This girl is outgoing, confident, curious, and absolutely bursting with life. Mari will happily wear you out with her inexhaustible enthusiasm for play. Wand toys? YES! Wrestling with her kitten buddy? Absolutely! Flying through the air? Oh, you bet! Mari is a high flyer, and WOW, can this little girl jump! But just when you think she’s ready to keep the party going forever, Mari does a complete 360. Suddenly, her busy little body melts into cuddle mode. When her foster mom sits on the floor, Mari loves to perch on the futon behind her and gently play with her hair. Then come the nose bops, the affection, and those glorious, heart-melting purrs. And if that isn’t sweet enough, just watch what happens when her foster mom walks into the room. Mari comes racing over, eager to be picked up, loved on, and cuddled. She has so much affection to give and seems to believe that every human entering the room has come specifically to adore her! Mari is currently being fostered with another kitten, and the two have a wonderful time wrestling and chasing each other. Her buddy is quite a bit bigger, so Mari doesn’t always win the wrestling matches — but she certainly never lets that stop her from trying! She has also been exposed to children and loves interactive play with wand toys. Mari would love a home with another playful kitten or young, energetic cat who can keep up with her kitten antics and give her a buddy to romp around with. Of course, once playtime is over, she’ll be more than happy to trade those zoomies for a warm lap and a serious cuddle session. This tiny butterfly has a HUGE heart, a spectacular purr, and an enormous amount of love to give. ❤️ Could Mari be the little girl who flutters straight into your heart?
