Mittens Domestic Short Hair Denver, CO

Greetings lovely people, Mittens here. I'm a strikingly beautiful, declawed grey girl with innocent eyes that are always alert to everything happening around me. I was born in 2014.

I came to MaxFund in February 2022 because my owner could no longer care for me. I'd been with them all my life so losing the only home I've ever known really broke my heart. I'm a wonderful girl but I'm shy and cautious with new people so I take a little while to warm up. I like to be the one to set the tone in my interactions. If you approach me gently and present some of the balls with bells in them, or toy mice, I will start to open up. And after we've played and talked quietly for a while, I will let you know when it's ok to pet me! When out of my kennel, I enjoy perching on the cat tower in my room and window gazing, so I don't interact too much with other cats. I wouldn't like to live with a cat who's young and rambunctious but I might be fine with a more mature cat who gives me plenty of space. One key thing to know is that I am diabetic and I require a special diet and daily insulin. So, I require just a little extra care but I promise it's not not at all difficult -- the medical staff at MaxFund will walk you through everything.

It's hard for me to be myself in this strange new environment which is so different from anything I've ever known. I'm eager to find a quiet, patient home where any children are older and will give me all the time and space I need to regain the confidence to blossom back into my true self. Won't you please help me? I hope you'll come meet me soon!
