Mitchell

Hi… my name is Mitchell.

Adopted June 26, 2016

Sometimes the best of intentions go awry. My folks had hearts of gold and, like lots of people, just couldn’t say “no” when a stray cat arrived in their yard. When, after a few years, they’d accumulated 20 of us (none neutered!), they realized that they needed help finding us safe homes and medical care. So TALGV’s Outreach Program came to the rescue, and we’re here now and ready for just that — homes of our own. My mom said, “Mitchell isn’t crazy about being held, but likes to be petted while he’s sprawled on the floor or couch. He has ‘ghost-chasing’ moods where he runs at top speed from room to room and then flops, but most of the time he’s easygoing. He knows ‘down’ and is obedient.” Yeah, I’m cool!

Arrived March 18, 2015

PS If ANY cat considers you for adoption, you know you’re pretty lucky, but if one of our few FIV cats picks you, you can be sure you’re REALLY special!

NOTE: FIV is a virus that can only be passed among cats (humans or dogs are never affected), and only through blood. Since cats rarely fight to the degree of drawing blood, FIV positive cats can live long and healthy lives with both other FIV positive cats and friendly non-FIV cats. So don’t let those letters scare you — they’re practically like everyone else and they’ll love you even more for choosing them!
