Mitzy

Meet Mitzy: A Beautiful 10 Year-Old girl who has gone through so much!

This sweet girl has faced a tough life. As one of 24 cats in a hoarder’s home, she likely had to compete for everything – attention, food, and love – which has left her with both physical and emotional scars.

When she first arrived at NLF, she was understandably terrified. She’s still learning to trust, but we’re seeing small signs of progress every day. Despite her caution, we can see she craves affection – she leans in for gentle chin scratches and head pats, though still a bit wary.

Her journey to trust is gradual, sometimes with a few steps forward and a step back, but we’re committed to helping her get there.

She needs a quiet, patient home with someone who understands that earning her trust will take time, love, and kindness. With the right person, she’ll be able to heal, feel safe, and learn to love again.

Mitzy is FIV positive which means she has a compromised immune system, but with proper care, she can still live a long, healthy and happy life. It cannot be transmitted to humans. She needs to go to a home with no other pets so that her chances of getting infections are reduced. With proper nutrition, a low-stress environment and regular check-ups, FIV positive cats can thrive.
