Meet Mittens: The River Trail Legend Seeking His Forever Castle! For years, Mittens was the most sophisticated resident of the Guadalupe River Trail. But don't let his rugged trail cat past fool you—this dapper gentleman was always meant for the indoor life! With a stylishly clipped ear (his badge of honor from his TNR days), Mittens has officially retired from his dangerous outdoor adventures and is ready to trade river views for a cozy lap and a steady supply of treats.

Mittens is a rare treasure with soulful green eyes, a soft coat, and—the best part—extra toes! That’s right, he’s polydactyl, which means he has more beans to love. He’s the ultimate polite roommate: fully litter-trained, an instant purr-machine, and a professional greeter who treats every guest like a long-lost friend.

Key Personality Traits  The Head-Bump King: Mittens lives for affection. He will graciously offer head bumps and happily let you hold him for as long as your arms can keep up! Loves laps!  Balanced Energy: Not at all hyperactive.  Social: Greets you at the door with a soft, happy chirp.  Low Maintenance: Uses his litter box cleanly.  Fearless Explorer: This brave boy doesn't shy away from anything. He’s so chill he might even enjoy a backpack hike or a bike ride in a carrier—he's a trail cat at heart, after all!

Quick Facts  Independently Rescued: I started seeing and feeding this guy along the Guadalupe River Trail for a few months and finally decided to nab him and try to find him a home. He’s so tame I was able to pick him up and put him in my carrier without fuss.  Health: Vaccinated (FVRCP, Rabies), micro-chipped, de-wormed, treated for fleas, negative FIV/FeLV tested, and neutered. Blood testing shows no issues.

Requirements For Adoption  Indoors: Indoor only or in a catio (recommended).  The *One and Only* Rule: Mittens is a superstar who refuses to share the spotlight. He needs to be the only cat in the home (and probably the only dog, too). He has so much love to give that you won’t even need another pet!  Adoption Fee: $125
