Mario is bonded to another cat and would like to be adopted together. Please check his Best Friends section.

Because Mario is younger than 6 months of age, it is IAR policy that he must be adopted with another kitten or into a household with a young cat (general guideline of 2 years or younger but on a case by case basis).

Meet the Rainbow Litter! Six kaleidoscopic kittens, each sporting their own one-of-a-kind coat and colorful personality. These brave little bandits have never met a stranger and love to hanging out with (and on!) their canine foster siblings. Brought to IAR with their momma in need of care and housing, they have hopped over every hurdle with enthusiasm and resilience. Named after characters from the Mario Brothers Universe, they bounce boldly into every new adventure with tails held high and purr motors running. They spend their days wrestling, chasing, playing, and napping in whatever room their people are in at any given time. They are truly delightful providers of nonstop entertainment with endless amounts of love to give.

Mario was the original leader of the bunch (Luigi's personality was slower to blossom, but now can't be contained!). The first to purr and climb into my lap, he is a total snuggle bug and seems to be most closely connected with his sister Peach. Mario and Peach make the cutest little orange cuddle puddle ever!
