Luca's Story

If you’re looking for a cat who will love you with his whole entire soul, Luca is your boy.<br/><br/>Luca may have entered rescue life as a tiny feral firecracker, all hiss, spit, and dramatic flair, but that was just his “stranger danger” phase. Once he realized he was safe, his true personality came roaring out and it turns out he’s basically a walking, purring marshmallow.<br/><br/>These days, Luca is the king of affection. He doesn’t just cuddle, he commits. He’s a face snuggler, a face rubber, a “let me press my cheek against yours because you are MY person” kind of cat. If he could fuse himself to his human during snuggle time, he absolutely would.<br/><br/>Luca is incredibly bonded to his brother Shadow, so the pair must be adopted together. They play together, snuggle together and they make the sweetest little duo.<br/><br/>Luca is looking for a special adopter who truly gets him. Someone gentle, patient, and ready for the privilege of being chosen by a once feral kitten who now trusts with his whole heart. If you want a companion who will greet you with purrs, claim your lap nightly, and press his face to yours like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him, congratulations, you may be Luca’s perfect match.<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $200<br/><br/>* We do not allow same-day adoptions. * This is because we want our adopters to consider the commitment of owning a kitty. We are also a volunteer-run organization. We do not always have someone available to process the adoption agreement and medical records at the time of the in-person meet and greet. Thank you for understanding! Our goal is to process adoptions within 24-hours. So, if you have scheduled a meet and greet, you can help expedite the adoption process by sending us your walk through video of your home to our email address adoptions@mariospaw.org. Thank you! <br/><br/>What is covered in our adoption fee?<br/><br/>Mario's Paw felines come: Microchipped, Spayed/Neutered, FIV/FELV tested, UTD on age-appropriate vaccines, de-wormed, and flea-treated. * We do not permit any feline to be adopted without receiving a spay or neuter surgery. *<br/><br/>In addition to the above, your adoption fee helps us cover supplies, admin costs, and vet bills that arise with all of the kittens that come into our care. We take in many medical cases that require extra surgeries such as eye enucleations and amputations, specialist visits, and imaging. Because of the adoption fees, we are able to bring in more medically needy felines!<br/><br/>If interested in adopting a pair of kittens, please note that on your application as priority is given to those adopting a pair!<br/><br/>The adoption application can be filled out here: https://forms.gle/zR62zNUFx23eYU647<br/><br/>If you are interested, our adoption process consists of:<br/>- a submitted application<br/>- meet-and-greet in-person<br/>- video walk through of the main areas of your home<br/>- feline medical records sent via email<br/>- signed adoption agreement<br/>- application fee submitted via Zelle<br/><br/>For more photos and videos, visit our social media pages! <br/>Facebook.com/mariospawrescue<br/>Instagram.com/mariospawanimalrescue/<br/>Tiktok.com/@mariospawrescue
