About Mittens

Mittens is currently thriving in a foster home, where he's growing big and strong. His foster family is making sure he gets the care and attention he needs. Staff estimate that he will be ready for adoption by early October. You can pre-adopt him by placing a $50 choice hold, a non-refundable fee that ensures you get the first opportunity to bring him home. Once he’s old enough, he’ll need to be adopted directly from the shelter. It's important for him to stay healthy, which is why he won't be able to have visits during his time in foster care. This little guy is ready for a loving home to start a new chapter together.

Adoption Fee

Inquire directly with rescue.

Adoption fees can usually be paid via credit card, or other convenient methods. Please check with the shelter for specific payment methods.
