Luigi's Story

Luigi and his brother Yoshi are two of the sweetest cats you could ever hope to meet! Both brother's have the cutest, stubby, kinked tails. As soon as you get to know them, they will turn right over on their bellies for you to pet them and the look of total bliss on their faces encourage you never to stop doing it.

Luigi and Yoshi must be adopted together. Luigi looks to Yoshi for support and encouragement. Yoshi is the first cat to say hello to the world and once he confirms all is well, Luigi is right behind him. 

Luigi is very affectionate, the kind of cat who will love you unconditionally forever. He is shy at fist but once he knows you and his surroundings, he will explore and be interested in everything he sees. Once he's done exploring, he will play and once he's done playing he will cuddle with you or just sit on your lap to chill out with you.

Luigi and Yoshi were adopted from FURR when they were 6 months old. Unfortunately, rather than being returned to us (FURR will always take back a cat we adopt out and we let adopters know this during the adoption process), Luigi and Yoshi were surrendered to a kill shelter. Luckily, we got them both back after being contacted by the shelter before they were to be euthanized.

 

Luigi is UTD on all his shots, has been wormed, tested negative for FIV and FELV, and is neutered. Luigi is residing at the Adoption Center in the Phillipsburg, NJ Petco and he will be there for our weekly adoption days every Saturday from 10-4. Call Bobbi 908-652-1278 for more information or email us at info@felineurbanrescueandrehab.org.

Adoption Center Caregiver Comments

Following are comments from our caregivers at the Philipsburg Petco. These volunteers interact with the cats regularly. If you are interested in volunteering as a caregiver at a Petco location, email us at info@felineurbanrescueandrehab.org.

Jennifer on Luigi: The first time I met Luigi was the second day he was at the Adoption Center in the Philipsburg Petco. He was so scared after all he had been through he scrunched himself up as small as he could make himself and pushed himself into the corner of the kitty condo. I petted him and whispered to him that it would be alright now and that soon enough he and I would be friends. He started to relax within minutes once he started to trust me. Two days later when I saw him for the second time, he was relaxed and lounging in the condo! As soon as I opened the door and started petting him, he practically did a head-over-paws somersault onto his belly for some belly rubbing! I love getting to see him and pet him. He's an amazing cat who has been through a lot. All that hardship could have been minimized if his adopters contacted us to surrender him. I will never understand how you can just get rid of any cat but especially cats as wonderful as him.

Laura On Luigi and Yoshi: Luigi and his brother Yoshi are both very sweet boys. Luigi is a bit more animated and outgoing; Yoshi is a mite shy. Although they could be adopted to separate homes, they seem bonded to one another, as they prefer to spend most of their time together in one kitty condo. Both these kitties seem very patient and tolerant, and yet playful. I think they would be a perfect match for a family with middle school age children.
