My personality

My story

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

Meet Mittens, the charming feline discovered in a mobile home park. This
15-pound giant is no ordinary stray; he boasts extra toes, a delightful condition
known as polydactylism. Mittens, with his endearing cuteness and
super-friendly demeanor, yearns for affection from a caring soul. If you're
that special someone, consider adopting Mittens by completing our adoption
form on our website. He is okay with dogs, but not with other cats. The
adoption fee is a donation to our rescue, and the amount is at your discretion.
Thank you.

More about this rescue

We founded the Duette Animal Rescue Team (DART) in 2020 in Manatee County. DART is a volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing former domestic and exotic pets such as prosimians and cats with behavioral challenges. We learned about the plight for exotic pets held in captivity and lack of understanding of the care they need as wild animals. We support causes that advocate for the conservation of these species in the wild in their native countries. By working with a network of zo's, private owners, zoo staff volunteer advocates, foster caregivers, local veterinarians, trainers, and shelters,
DART strives to rescue animals and provide these animals with behavioral rehabilitation and care. We catch cats to assist with the management of stray cat overpopulation in the community. We rehabilitate the cats so that we can put them up for adoption and have a better quality of life. For example, cat litter box training and socialization.
