About Mittens

Mittens is waiting for his chance! Meet Mittens, a sweet boy overflowing with love and a heart that deserves just as much in return. This affectionate cat is FIV positive, which means he needs an adopter who understands or is willing to learn about FIV and its implications. FIV affects his immune system, so Mittens may require a bit more attention regarding his health and veterinary care. However, it does NOT prevent him from leading a happy, fulfilling life. Mittens isn’t defined by his diagnosis and is just as deserving of a loving family as any other cat. He is playful, friendly, and ready to melt your heart. Let’s help Mittens find someone who sees past a label to the wonderful companion he truly is. If you’re interested in giving Mittens the chance he’s been waiting for, visit the Humane Society of Amherst County Adoption Center in Amherst, VA, or check out their website to apply. His adoption fee is $75. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
