About Michelle

Meet Michelle! This lovely little tabby has a charming freckle on her nose and was found in a colony with her brother, Mitch. Born in early April 2026, Michelle is still quite shy, but her sweetness shines through. She loves to curl up on her foster mom’s shoulder and enjoys gentle pets, especially delighted by her Churu treats. Currently fostering with six other kittens, Michelle shows a strong sense of independence, often finding her favorite quiet spot high up and curled up alone. She would thrive in a calmer home environment and may adjust well as a solo cat or with a friendly feline companion to help her feel secure. Michelle is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She is being fostered in Naugatuck, CT. Please note, “meet and greets” can be organized after an application has been approved. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
