Mittens spent her early life trying to survive after being dumped at a remote Indiana farm, a place notorious for abandoned animals. She was discovered hiding beneath a building: nervous, alone, but still so gentle when brought into care. She was just a year old and in the start of an unexpected pregnancy, which ended with a spay at intake. Her ear tip—a mark given by people who thought she had no future indoors—now stands out as a reminder of her long odds. Despite her rough introduction to the world, Mittens was immediately affectionate, charming everyone in the shelter with her green eyes and trusting attitude. She isn’t fazed by the company of other cats or even dogs and has shown only kindness to newcomers.
