Mitzi

Mitzi is a six-year-old cat who came into our care as a stray while heavily pregnant. Despite having had a hard life and likely several litters in the past, she raised her four kittens beautifully, and they have all now found their forever homes. Mitzi is neutered and ready to enjoy a fresh start of her own. Having spent much of her life looking after herself, Mitzi has learned to be independent and to stand up for her boundaries. She can be a little sassy and will let you know when she’s had enough fuss — she may bat or scratch from time to time — but this is simply her way of communicating. She responds very well to gentle, confident handling and to people who respect her limits, and over time she has become more trusting and enjoys affection from those she knows. A little sweet talking goes a long way with her. The cattery environment hasn’t been the easiest for Mitzi, likely due to her past experiences and the length of her stay, and she would benefit greatly from a calmer, quieter home. She would suit patient, understanding owners who are happy to let her settle at her own pace and appreciate an independent cat with a strong personality. Mitzi loves her catio and can spend hours relaxing in the sunshine. In her new home, she will need access to the outdoors once fully settled (around 8–9 weeks) and must live in a safe, quiet area away from main roads or heavy traffic. After a life of having to be resilient, Mitzi is learning that people can be kind. With the right person or people who understand her boundaries, we’re sure she’ll continue to grow in confidence and show just how good a companion she can be. She’s deserves a chance!
