Tortoiseshell Cats Available for Adoption

This sweet three-legged girl may be shy when you first meet her, but give her a little patience and you’ll see her true heart shine. Once she feels safe, she blossoms into the cuddliest companion leaning into gentle pets, curling up beside you, and purring while following you around. Her three legs don’t slow her down; they just make her extra special. She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can build trust, share snuggles, and be someone’s quiet little shadow.

Adoption fee $200

Please Note: We do not allow same-day adoptions.

We want adopters to thoughtfully consider the lifelong commitment of a cat and as a volunteer-run rescue, we cannot always process paperwork immediately after meet-and-greets. Most adoptions are finalized within 24-hours.

To help speed up the process, please email a walkthrough video of your home to adoptions@mariospaw.org after scheduling your meet-and-greet. Thank you for your understanding!

The Tortoiseshell cat is known for its unique coat pattern that blends various hues of red, black, and orange in a striking mosaic. These cats are predominantly female due to the genetics behind their coat coloration. Tortoiseshells are often affectionate and independent, with individual personalities that shine through. Their coats are a beautiful patchwork of colors, making them highly sought-after pets for cat lovers seeking a companion with a vibrant and dynamic appearance.

Mario's Paw has a mission to help animals in need through fostering, adoption, education, spay/neuter, and community outreach.
