Mango 🥭 | Chief Marketing Officer | He/Him
As the most vocal cat of the group, I oversee our brand strategy and engagement across all platforms. When I’m not working, you'll find me enjoying leisurely naps on my Grandhuman's lap and on top of the dryer. I also have a refined palate for wheat grass and enjoy rolling on my human's feet after she gets out of the shower.

Adoption Story
I am the first cat my human adopted. I was one week old when she first held me, I was meowing with my eyes closed and my mom shot her a dirty look. Before my human adopted me, I lived at a neighbor's house with my mom without any littermates. At eight weeks old, my human came back to adopt me. She felt extremely guilty for taking me away from my mom but also grateful she got the chance to love and take care of me.

Adoption Story
Originally my human only wanted to adopt two boy cats during her Peace Corps service, but her host dad had other plans when he picked me up and placed me in her room while she was out. When my human was napping at another host family member's house, she was woken up and told that I was the second cat she was looking for. She came home to find me sitting on her bed with my new sibling Mango, even though I'm a girl, she immediately loved me too much to give me away.

Adoption Story
I was the third cat my human adopted. I lived at a neighbor's house with my mom and littermates beforehand. I was the only cat in my litter to have black spots while all my siblings were white, making me stand out from the group. Even though my human only wanted two cats, it was love at first sight and she couldn't resist taking me home, so she put me in her orange handbag, walked home, and introduced me to my siblings Mango and Manzana.
