Mongo the Mighty

My story

TL;DR:5monthold male orange tabby, playful and sturdy with a bigkitten “gentle bruiser” vibe. Loves active play, especially wandtoy handle battles, and thrives with other confident cats. Affection on his terms — bonds deeply once trust is earned. Must go to a home with at least one friendly resident cat and experienced cat lovers who are patient and willing to start out with handfeeding. WAIT! Before you fall in love with Mongo...Please ask yourself these two deal-breaker questions:1 Do you have a confident, cat-friendly cat already living in your home?2 Do you have experience living with and caring for cats? If the answer to both is yes, great — read on!If the answer to either is no, we’re sorry, but Mongo requires a confident feline role model and an experienced cat-savvy home. Bonus: Mongo will bond more quickly if you’re willing to hand-feed during the early days. It’s not required, but it really helps.

Background & Lore Mongo was born into the legendary Emberstripe Clowder with one mission: yeet first, ask questions later. His battle style is kinetic chaos powered by raw kitten joy — whether it’s tag-team wrestling with Mordecai or flinging himself at the nearest crinkly toy. Socially, he’s a slow-leveling charisma class. Trust isn’t free — you’ll earn it through food tributes, respectful playtime, and giving him space to bloom. But once he bonds with you? You’ll have a friend with paws the size of thimbles and the heart of a lion cub. Ideal Party A home with other friendly felines (especially if Mordecai’s coming too). Humans with patience, a sense of humor, and a willingness to wield wand handles with gusto. An environment that respects warm-up periods and honors nap-based cooldowns. Mongo’s Deal-Breakers No forced affection. You must earn the boop. Cannot be separated from food ritual. Hand-feeding is the key to Mongo’s heart. Needs at least one daily boss fight (play session) to maintain morale. Adopt MongoYour orange-furred tank awaits. He’s not the hero you expected — he’s the hero who will surprise you with quiet loyalty, awkward cuddles, and deeply committed handle-murder. And from the top of Castle Tower, he sees your worth. (Unless you're holding the vacuum.) If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading about Mongo! But please don’t forget the essentials: A confident resident cat is non-negotiable. Cat experience is a must. These aren’t preferences — they are the key to Mongo’s happiness and success. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Age/DOB: 3-30-2025 He is neutered, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.You may apply to adopt at www.purrsandwhiskers.org/adopt ##2447120##
