Lord Mittens is the perfect senior cat. He's very vocal, including quite a meow-shout on occasion. His speed is slow to medium, but even at his age, he does get playful (likes cloth mice) and the zoomies and it's usually around 3am. Otherwise he sleeps most the day but does like to be in the same room as you. He likes to be brushed but his fur is thin so a soft wire or rubber brush are best. He loves the rubber brush.
He's a great side cat - not really a lap cat but wants to be at your side nearby, if not touching you (see photos). At bedtime, he slept on his own the first month, but lately he goes to bed with his foster and lays next to his arm - again, not on - just touching. He's an alarm clock waking him up right around 6:15 every morning.
Health issues/medicines - Mittens is diabetic and FIV+. He's on prescription diabetic food (both dry and wet). Lately he's not eating wet, so his foster is doing 2 packages of Hydration fluid with his dry - he loves it! 1 in morning, 1 at night. He's been receiving fortiflora daily and that seems to be helping his otherwise soft stool. For his diabetes, he's given a 0.2ml oral liquid Senvelgo once per day after breakfast. He's not a fan and consistently "foams" up after it but it's just a quick wipe up. He'll hold a grudge...for about 2 minutes. He drinks lots of water and again, for his convenience, his foster has water in the living room, media room and bedroom (3 spots around the house - over a day he'll drink at least 2 dry.)
Litter Box - he's very good with using the litter box, but he sometimes doesn't tuck that butt all the way in and his foster has gone to using potty pads as a border around the box and yay, easy cleanup. His foster has a 2 bedroom apt with 1 litter box at both ends. He uses both regularly - mainly for urine as he drinks lots of water (due to diabetes) and goes a lot. He's great at using the pine pellet litter and hasn't tried clay litter yet.
Mittens' FIV+ status does not mean he cannot be around other cats. He would only be able to give FIV to another cat via a hard bite, so he would need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure no aggression. He has not shown signs of aggression toward other cats.
He's an amazing old man who's so worthy of enjoying a wonderful life. Mittens has no adoption fee.

We do not do same-day adoptions, so the day that you come and meet the cat will not be the same day you take the cat home. We only do this to make sure decisions are thought through and our cats find their truly forever home!
