About Mittens

Mittens is a charming young boy with a unique black and white coat and a distinct trimmed mustache that adds to his cuteness. Due to health concerns, his previous owner, who lovingly bottle-fed him, could no longer provide a stable environment. Mittens tends to become overreactive to stimulation, so he needs a cat-savvy adopter who understands his cues and can give him space when he signals. He thrives on human interaction and approaches you with gentle enthusiasm, standing on his hind legs for a little loving. Currently living with other cats, Mittens doesn't bully; instead, he is a bit timid around more aggressive personalities. He requires a household without children and would do best with someone who has experience handling a sensitive kitty. If you can provide him with the loving home he deserves, request to meet this special boy! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
