Mostaccioli was found in owner Natalie’s mum’s garden in California, US, along with her three brothers when they were just a day old.
The black and white kitten’s mother, who was a feral Bombay cat, was severely underweight when discovered. Natalie rushed them all to the kennel she works at and was able to nurse them all to health.

All of the kittens were rehomed but Natalie couldn’t part with Mostaccioli and chose to adopt her in August 2020.
Since then, Natalie created Mostaccioli’s Instagram account, @izanami.and.mostaccioli, which is shared with her cute kitty sister, Izanami.
