Support and Health

Do I have any medical conditions?

History of

Mittens has historic medical concerns, namely she has had surgery for luxating patella’s on both hind legs which has resolved the issue currently and cystitis which can flare up when she’s stressed, that will require consideration before she is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment.

 

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

Yes

Additional information

Small animals are okay if securely housed. Mittens is looking for a home without other cats and dogs

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Mittens is sometimes shy at first but once settled she’s very friendly and sweet. She would be happy to live with adults and children over the age of 13 years. She also prefers not to be picked up so this should be avoided

What type of environment would suit me?

Mittens would need both indoor and outdoor access. She is cat-flap trained already. Moderate traffic is fine as she’s used to seeing some cars around.

About Mittens

Introducing Mittens – a truly gorgeous girl with the softest heart and sweetest ways of showing love. At her gentle senior pace, she has perfected the art of balancing affection and independence.
Mittens loves to announce she wants attention with head bumps and gentle nuzzles and you won’t find her far away from her beloved old catnip-stuffed chipmunk which she loves to throw around the room.
Mittens is looking for a warm, loving home where she can share her affection, play with her favourite chipmunk, and have plenty of cosy napping spots to call her own.

Things to note

Mittens is currently living in a foster home and will be allocated a temporary unit at the centre on the day of book-out. Most cats find unfamiliar environments quite stressful and this can affect their behaviour in the cattery, meaning that you might not be able to observe what the cat’s temperament is typically like in a familiar setting. If you would like to meet this cat prior to rehoming, as a minimum you will be able to see the cat, but this may be the extent of the interaction depending on the cat’s response to the new environment.
