Mitski

My story

Mitski Mitski is a brilliant and curious kitten. He is highly energetic, deeply observant, and eager to learn. Within a few days of coming into his foster home, Mitski was solving the interactive puzzles that his foster dog-brother had been working on for weeks. Of all the kittens, Mitski is the most energetic and the most independent. Even so, he is deeply, deeply affectionate and wants nothing more than to cuddle beside you on your pillow at the end of the day. Mitski has an unforgettable personality and is fiercely loyal. He wants an owner that can share their hobbies or adventures with him; someone who will give him independence while keeping a close eye. He’s very, very clever and definitely keeps things interesting. Getting to know Mitski is a slow burn. His independence could be initially mistaken for avoidance, but he just had a rough start to life and wants to trust you before showing you his soft, squishy interior. But with treats, play, and patience, he is certain to come around. Mitski’s foster parents believe that he will thrive in many different types of homes, but a mentally and energetically stimulating environment is essential for his long-term well-being. Mitski needs to be somewhere he can explore, run, jump, climb and learn. If you can give him the enrichment he needs, he will repay you with love and loyalty ten-fold. If you are looking for a clever and affectionate companion who will sit with you and learn with you while you do what you love, Mitski is your guy. Note from the foster family We decided to foster after losing our beloved cat Bowie. Bowie was a charismatic, quirky and highly affectionate Siamese mix. After 13 years of love and unforgettable companionship, we suddenly and tragically lost him to kidney failure. His absence was profound and painful, especially to our senior dog Rosko, who was desperately missing his best companion of 10 years. We were surrounded by his toys, blankets, cat trees, and all the treats he would never get to enjoy. It felt like his things still held a piece of him. We didn’t want to let them go, but we weren’t ready to move on. So instead of closing this chapter, we opened our hearts to something new. These four babies—Elton, Mitski, Joni and Liza—came to us when we were still grieving. At first, they were skittish, avoidant and clearly unfamiliar with humans. But with careful socialization, patience, treats, love, and lots of play time, they began to bloom. Watching them play with Bowie’s toys, climb his tree, and tumble through their little milestones has brought so much light and laughter back into our lives. Earning their trust, loving them fully, and watching them thrive has helped us heal. And now it’s time to find them their own soft places to land. These kittens are so special and will unquestionably bring so much joy and laughter into your home. Each of them carries a little piece of our heart—and a little piece of Bowie’s too. Mitski was born around April 15, 2025, and is currently being fostered in Farmington. Once he is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV at the end of July, he will be ready for adoption. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Applications for adoption can be found at our website at www.fosterandforever.org.
