My name is Mitch!

Microchipped, DOB October 17, 2015

Mitch likes to sleep on cushions, old jackets, and clothing. He is a very observant cat and will sometimes just watch both humans and cats with such intensity and curiosity, as though he is a scientist studying them.

Mitch is a very cautious cat. He requires some time in his new home before his trust in his human friends will develop. It took his foster parent nearly 6 weeks to get Mitch to trust them enough to pet him gently by his ears. He is best suited for environments that are not stressful - meaning no dogs (cats are ok) and no being chased by young children. He is also not a very adventurous cat and needs to be in a relaxed environment where he can have the freedom to become comfortable at his own pace. He would also be suitable for a working couple or single person as he is not very demanding of his humans' time.

He prefers sitting and watching TV and looking out the window, but he will also have his bursts of energy and moments of playfulness.

Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $200.

Mitch has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV+ cats can live long happy lives with a good diet, low stress, indoor homes, loving families, and annual vet check-ins. They don't require medication and can live in a home with other non-FIV+ cats, as the virus is only passed to other cats by blood (i.e. deep bite marks) and can't be passed to dogs or humans. Please don't judge them based on a blood test!
