Meet our Pet of the Week Mittens. She's a 2-year-old tabby domestic shorthair.
Mittens was found as a stray and brought in by a good Samaritan to be fixed and microchipped. Well, to much surprise, both had already been done!
As it turns out, she did once belong to someone who no longer wanted her anymore. So, here she is at the shelter looking for a new forever home!
Of course, her little white paws lent her the name Mittens, and it couldn't be more fitting.
She will need several things throughout her lifetime to keep her a happy girl, such as being kept inside, regular vet care, toys, nutritious food, clean water, gentle handling and most importantly, lots of love and attention!
Cats live 15 to 20 years on average. We ask that you consider carefully that you can make a lifetime commitment to this pet.
Mittens is up for adoption at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, and if you adopt her, her initial exam is free compliments of our Pet Connections' vet sponsors:
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is a limited-access humane society and provides services to more than 15,000 cats, dogs, puppies and kittens each year. Operating continuously since 1925, we have been positively impacting animal welfare and addressing overpopulation in Palm Beach County through a variety of services.
Through the adoption and spay/neuter programs, our vision is to ensure that there are no homeless animals and every animal has a home in Palm Beach County.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Humane Society of the Palm Beaches, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, receiving no state or federal funding. It is dependent exclusively upon private donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events to provide quality programs and services to the community. Your donations directly support the services and programs in place to help animals in need.
Our mission is to provide shelter to lost, homeless and unwanted animals; to furnish medical and other services for the care of companion animals; to care for, protect, and find quality homes for homeless and neglected animals; to advocate animal welfare, community involvement and education to further the bond between people and animals, for the mutual benefit of both.
