Mittens

My story

This sweet girl is searching for a foster home to recover in until she is ready for adoption.Reason for Foster: Calicivirus & Stomatitis Foster Time Frame: 2 WeeksThe foster time frame could be longer depending on future medical results and needs.Foster Care Plan: This kitty has calicivirus, a common upper respiratory condition in cats. While it’s treatable with supportive care, some cats may carry the virus even after they’re no longer sick. This means they might occasionally shed the virus, though they often stay symptom-free. Calicivirus is contagious to other cats, so it’s best if they’re fostered away from other felines, or with cats who are already vaccinated.Mittens is also being treated for stomatitis, which causes inflammation in her mouth. This can be painful and may cause her to refuse to eat. We ask that her foster monitor her appetite and report weight loss to the foster team if noticed. Medical consultation will be provided at your pickup appointment. Foster to Adopt: Mittens is available through our Foster to Adopt program, which allows pets awaiting or undergoing medical treatment to be placed with prospective adopters before they are made available for adoption. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit https://www.operationkindness.org/foster/ or email us at foster@operationkindness.org to learn more.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mittens, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
