Mookie

Hopeful heart. Churu connoisseur. Master of the back-flop nap.

Mookie is the kind of cat who reminds you that love—when given patiently and generously—can bring someone all the way back to life. With his velvety grey coat, round face, and warm, expressive eyes, this sweet British Shorthair mix has a quiet charm that sneaks up on you… and stays.

His Personality:

Mookie is a people-loving gentleman who greets you with soft curiosity and affectionate energy. He’s not a fan of being picked up—but he is a fan of being near. Once you sit down, he’s quick to climb into your lap, curl up contentedly, and settle in like he’s been waiting for you all day.

He thrives on attention, chin scratches, treats (especially Churu!), and gentle companionship. Dignified and chill, he carries himself with the poise of a cat who knows what he wants—connection, comfort, and someone to trust.

While he isn’t a non-stop cuddler and doesn’t need constant playtime, when a wand toy comes out? Mookie lights up. He leaps, pounces, and plays like a kitten who never wants the game to end.

His Quirks:

Mookie’s belly-up sleeping pose is legendary. He flops over, all four paws relaxed in the air, with the kind of peace only a cat who finally feels safe can show. It’s adorable, heartwarming, and a testament to how much love can transform a life.

He’s food-motivated (very), tolerant of other cats but not overly social with them and makes a perfect match for an adopter looking for a loyal, low-drama companion who just wants to be near you—and occasionally steal your seat.

The Ideal Home:

Mookie is ready to be someone’s sidekick. He’d do well in a calm, loving home—whether that’s with a first-time cat adopter or a seasoned feline whisperer. He’s tolerant of other respectful cats but would also be perfectly content as the only pet. Older kids who understand boundaries are welcome too—especially if they come bearing treats.

Why Mookie?

Because he never stopped believing that someone would choose him. And now, maybe that someone is you.

Rescue Story

We were told about this sweet, beautiful boy who had been abandoned in a garden, just trying to survive on his own. What really broke us was hearing how he’d run up to every person he saw, just looking for love - just hoping someone, anyone, would see him. He was holding on with everything he had, still believing that maybe, if he kept trying, someone would finally stop and care. It’s the kind of hope that shatters your heart and makes you want to do whatever you can to show him he matters. (via Angels with Paw Prints-Kuwait)
