Description
Mojito is a 2-year-old Siberian / Ragdoll mix. He appeared abandoned near one of our feeding stations - frightened, withdrawn, and impossible to approach. It took nearly two months of patient, daily effort to finally secure him, as Mojito was extremely fearful of human contact.
When he arrived in our care, he was in heartbreaking condition - physically injured, emotionally shut down, and overwhelmed by fear. He was never aggressive, only terrified. The kind of fear that makes a cat disappear into himself simply to survive.
In those early days, Mojito felt unreachable. He didn’t trust touch, didn’t seek comfort, and struggled to understand that humans could ever mean safety. Every small step forward had to be slow, gentle, and earned. But beneath all of that fear was always a deeply sensitive, gentle soul waiting to feel safe enough to emerge. And little by little, he did.
Today, Mojito is still a work in progress - but he is no longer the shut-down cat he once was. He enjoys gentle brushing, soft head scratches, and quiet companionship. Once he trusts you, he leans fully into affection, often drooling from pure happiness - a beautiful sign of comfort and emotional release.
He is incredibly sweet, quietly affectionate, and deeply loyal once he feels secure. But Mojito does not give trust quickly. He needs patience, understanding, and a calm home willing to let him settle at his own pace.
Mojito is also wonderful with other cats and has formed an especially beautiful bond with another kitten in our care (and also looking for a home!) called August, whom he grooms and gently tolerates despite all the playful chaos. Because of this, we believe he would benefit from a friendly feline companion in the home - or even better, adoption with August! (putting this into the universe!)
Mojito is:
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Neutered
✅ Blood tested (FIV+/FeLV-)
✅ Dewormed
✅ Vet health checked
Mojito is not the cat who will run to greet you on day one.
He is the cat who will slowly choose to trust you - and when he does, it will feel like one of the greatest ******************s you’ve ever earned.
If you can offer Mojito (and maybe August too!) a loving happy ever-after, please get in touch today! We will send you a link to complete our online pre-adoption form and we will also require a home video check as part of our process. If you have any questions, please reach out and one of our small team of volunteers will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note: Every Cat Matters is an indoor-only rescue. This means all our cats should be kept in a safe, enriching indoor environment, unless they have access to a secure cat-proof garden, catio, or netted balcony.
We believe cats can live full, happy lives without free roaming outdoors. Keeping them safe indoors protects them from road accidents, injuries, contagious illnesses, and territorial fights—while also helping to preserve local wildlife. With love, enrichment, and security, indoor cats truly thrive and live their longest lives.
