You just cannot keep your mittens off of Mittens. She is exceptionally affectionate and loving. She adores being near people. She loves to be held and cuddled - even rocked. She has an exceptional purr - very loud. She will lick your hand when she wants to be petted more, or just to say, "Hi." She is really easygoing and just wants to be part of the family. She does not meow; except for the purring, her foster mom has not heard a peep. Mittens was rescued when she was found living outdoors alone. Now she does not want to be alone anymore; now she wants a home with someone she can love. Mittens has tested positive for FIV (feline infectious virus), but is currently healthy and could live a normal life span. Mittens is about 4 years old.
