Aaaw! So sad that you were forced to give him up.
Oh, what a sweet Mitens! I’m so sorry you had to get him a new home! I hope you get to visit him sometimes, and that he is happy where he is. Someday you will be able to have a kitty to love again!
wow, how sad your stepmom came between you and Mittens. He is a lovely tabby boy: hopefully, he is happy where he is now. Maybe you can visit? 😉
Poor mittens. I sure hope he’s happy in his new home and that he’s with people who love him.
Mittens is so cute! I’m sorry he had to leave you for a new home but for today he is a Daily Kitten STAR! Thank you for sharing this photo.
“Can I tell you how much I love this Oreo?”
Mittens is beautiful and very lovable. A great shame you had to give him up. Sounds rather selfish to me. I’m sure he had a very loving home when he was with you.
He’s a lovely cat and it’s a great shame you were forced to give him up, especially for someone who isn’t even a blood relative. When you’ve got a home of your own, you can fill it with cats and tell your relatives to go boil their heads!
Mittens is so cute! I think I would have asked the family who took him to adopt me too!
I has a cookie. What do I do wif it?
I would be very leery of marrying or getting into any serious relationship with someone who didn’t like pets. Especially someone who would come into a marriage and make the new husband’s child get rid of her kitten.
I’m sorry you had to part from Mittens.
I am sorry you had to let Mittens go to his new home. I hope you can check up on him in his new home now and then. It would break my heart to give him up.
Mittens is adorable and I too am sorry you had to find a new home for him. I never had pets when I was a kid either but now I have two kitties and a nice dog to protect them…
Hope one day you will have a house full of furry friends.
Mittens was adorable. I am psychic and see many more kittens in your future!
This little FUZZ didn’t lose his mittens!
Wicked stepmother FUZZ
Oh, you should have kitties everywhere when you move into your own place. I hope Mittens has a good home. I bet he misses you as much as you miss him.
Lalala Twinkle twinkle little stripey Star-kit wish I knew where you are!
Hello Mittens! Awww, what a cutie!! Sorry to hear that you had to give him up. Wow amazing! I have cat named Mittens and he is also a tiger striped! 🙂
I know how you feel having to give up a very beloved pet and her name was Mittens too. When you grow up you can have control over what you want and don’t want in your life. Study hard now as knowledge and wisdom are something no one can take away from you and will only give you more power. Been there done that too and can testify to it. Through your father’s actions you have seen what sacrificing too much for a mate is like. You don’t take a child’s pet away to appease a new wife. Find the lesson(s) in the negative as it helps take the hurt and pain away, and be open to the new. I am 54 year old female Army vet and I am still learning. Take care and God bless you always!
I don’t know how old you are, Sweetie, but it might help to get some kind of quality counseling. It will help you to deal with the loss of your kitten and to (maybe) help you with your “relationship” with you stepmother. I know if it had been me that had to give up my kitten, I would be a very angry child. Your kitten is beautiful, and you will never forget her.
Wicked Stepmother. I think your Dad made a mistake. 🙁
Your dad should dump her. If she doesn’t like animals what kind of person is she anyway. I guess he’ll have to learn the hard way.
I hope you are able to visit him. I have serious doubts about people who don’t like pets. I wouldn’t even date a man who didn’t like cats. Someday you can have as many as you like in your own home.
I would have got dad to give up the stepmother, myself.
I am really sorry for you. But well done for finding Mittens a good new home
Sweet Mittens..I hope you can visit him.
Oh such a lovely stripey polydactyl, should of given your stepmother away! Can’t trust someone who does not like animals, how is that possible? Should of let mittens hug her maybe she’d of changed her mind.
Sorry for your loss and good for you that you found a new furever home for mittens.
Evil step-mother…
I agree completely. Sounds like the evil stepmother should have found a new home, not Mittens who was there first. If she made you give up the cat what else does she have up her sleeve. I hope Mittens has a good home with a mom who loves her.
Mittens is adorable, remember all the times he made you laugh. 🙂

“I would be very leery of marrying or getting into any serious relationship with someone who didn’t like pets. Especially someone who would come into a marriage and make the new husband’s child get rid of her kitten.”
I agree 100%. Love me, love my pets. Don’t like animals? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I’m so sorry you had to give up your sweet kitten. 🙁 I hope you will soon be able to have another furry friend. Mittens is so handsome, and seems like a real sweetheart.
I hope Mittens has a good home, but I think it’s wrong you had to give up your kitty.
I agree entirely. Right you are!
Your story about having to give your pet away made me cry. How can a person be so cruel. I had my cat for 13 years and when she went to Rainbow Bridge I cried then too. I hope you will someday have another kitty to love & love you. Mittens is beautiful.
Having a stepdaughter get rid of a pet simply she doesn’t like pets. Great way to become part of the family and build bridges.
My favorite quote is “the more people I meet the more I love my cat.” No one should make you get rid of an animal just because they don’t like pets. You had the pet before she had your Dad. I too don’t trust people who don’t like animals or cats in particular. I have now 7 wonderful cats each with their own personalities I could not and would not give up a single one for ANYBODY. Hopefully you can still visit Mittens. He is a beautiful little boy.
I had a cat named Mitts when I was growing up and he looked just like your Mittens. Your little Mittens is so sweet looking. I just want to give him a big hug and kiss. That is really too bad you had to give him up. That must have been hard for you. I couldn’t imagine having to give up one of my cats. I have 3 kitties and they are a big part of my family. I hope your little Mittens is happy and healthy.
I have to agree with all the posts about this situation of having to give up your kitty because of a new stepmom who doesnt like pets.Oh thats just wrong. Thats all Im going to say on that subject, because otherwise I might start cussin and I dont like cussin and I wont do it on here. hmphh
bless you dear,and I hope someday you have a wonderful kitty of your own,that no one can take from you.
