Mako15FS - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Youngsville, North Carolina

✨ Sweetheart Mako: Pure Love, Purrs & Snuggles! ✨

Meet Mako, a striking 11 year old, handsome big boy with an equally big heart! After his lifelong owner had to enter nursing care, Mako found himself looking for a second lease on life. He arrived at the rescue shy, shut down, and in pain from bad teeth. Thanks to our amazing vets, Mako had a full dental checkup and had 4 painful teeth removed. Wow, what a difference! Mako is like a brand new cat--pain-free, playful, active, and bursting with affection. He is already down 2.5lbs from a more active lifestyle.

🐱 The Ultimate Snuggle Buddy

Once Mako gets to know you, he is all love. He is a champion cuddler who wants to be right by your side.

Full-Body Purrs: He has a deep, rumbling purr that vibrates through his entire body when you pet him.

Any Way You Like: He loves being pet forwards, backwards, and--yes, really--he even loves belly rubs!

Chin Rub Fanatic: He will lean his head heavily into your hands and look up at you adoringly for chin scratches.

The Sofa & Bed Companion: Mako loves snuggling tightly with you on the couch during the day and sleeping right next to you in bed at night.

Chirp for Food: When he is hungry and ready for dinner, he will let out the most endearing little chirp to let you know!

⚽ Playtime & Handling


Toy Lover: He still loves to play, especially soft balls, whether they are rolling across the floor or dangling from strings.

Gentle Giant: He is okay with being picked up and held for short periods, but because of his large size, he needs to be fully supported.

🏡 His Ideal Forever Home

Mako is looking for a relaxed, loving environment where he can truly shine.

The Vibe: He prefers a home that isn't too busy or chaotic.

Kids: Because he is a big boy who requires proper physical support when held, he would need to be supervised around toddlers who may try to pick him up. Gentle, older, cat-savvy kids should be just fine.

Other Pets: Mako lived peacefully with his sister his whole life. Because of his incredibly chill personality, he would do wonderful as a solo king of the castle or joined by a gentle, friendly resident cat or dog. No energetic playmates please.

Mako went through a tough transition, but he has bounced back with so much joy and gratitude. He is fully vetted, healthy, pain-free, and ready to fill your home with deep purrs and tight snuggles. Could you be the one to give this sweet senior his perfect second chapter?
