Mittens is handsome enough to be a model. And he can be yours!

Arriving at Kane County Animal Control with his six other feline siblings after his owner unfortunately fell on hard times, Mittens has the cool, laid-back temperament of a young man in charge. This 6-year old domestic medium-haired cat wears his black and white Fursace coat like a male model on the runways of Paris. Regular brushings is all his new forever family will need to do to keep Mittens looking fashion ready.

He purrfurs a calm environment where he can spend his afternoons curled up and sunbathing. He doesn’t mind being around other cats that might enjoy his company, but no bullies, please!

According to KCAC staff, Mittens would handle living in a home with a canine very well, based on having lived with a dog when he was with his prior owner.

Mittens is patiently waiting for his new family to adopt him so he can show them his runway walk.
