About Mittens

Mittens is a lovely calico cat with a charming personality. She's a bit selective but enjoys human company and appreciates gentle pets and scratches on her own terms. While she may have been a bit spicy upon arrival, she has settled nicely into her environment. When Mittens first came to the shelter, she was quite thin and had patches of missing fur, but thanks to the right care and a special diet, she's thriving now. Her short coat is soft, and she loves to explore and keep an eye on everything around her. Mittens gets along well with other cats, making her a great addition to a multi-cat household. We'd love to help her find a forever home where she can continue to blossom. Stop by the shelter any afternoon to meet Mittens or give us a call for more information.
