About Mitten

Mitten is an affectionate, senior cat who’s had a tough stretch after losing not just one, but two homes when his people entered assisted living. Life’s upheaval has left him understandably shy, so he appreciates folks who move slow and give him time. When you earn his trust, though, the payoff is real: Mitten will hop into your lap, purr like an engine, and let you rub his paws and even his belly. He’s especially sweet when he’s getting head scratches during dinner or being pampered with treats—Temptations are his favorite. In his foster home, Mitten has done well with resident cats after careful introductions, but noisy spaces or kids aren’t for him. He needs a quiet, stable home, ideally with a single person or a couple who get that shy cats deserve patience. His foster is happy to arrange a home visit so you can see his gentle quirks.
