My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mietze is a gentle, shy and sweet, 12-year-old, ten-pound, female tuxedo tabby cat looking for a loving guardian.

This “Mietze,” pussycat in German, was born in Berlin, and moved to Chicago with her diplomat parents four years ago. Sadly, they are now moving to Japan and can’t bring their cat with them.

Mietze eats a diet of mostly canned Friskies pate and uses her litter box perfectly. While she can easily share a home with other cats, she’d probably bond better with her humans if she’s the only feline. When she was relinquished to rescue, her best friend was the 21-year-old daughter whose family had adopted her when she was nine years old. They grew up together and they both took the separation hard.

She’s been living with me and sharing a bedroom with a couple other cats for the last week and she’s been doing great. She loves windowsills and cat trees, but she also likes to hide at first.

She is a healthy senior, up-to-date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped and tested negative for viruses. She had full bloodwork done and had her teeth cleaned today. She does take amlodipine for high blood pressure.

Mietze’s adoption fee of $100 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits Rescue.

If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting her, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com for an adoption application.

She is currently being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
