The Rise of Mittens

Meet Mittens, the extraordinary cat who captured the hearts of an entire city in New Zealand. Despite not being a person, Mittens managed to become an icon in Wellington, the capital city, and even received the key to the city!

A Nap Connoisseur

Born in Auckland, Mittens quickly made his mark in Wellington when his family relocated there. He decided to support local businesses in a unique way - by choosing a different store each day to take his nap in. His fluffy presence attracted more customers, turning him into a local celebrity.

The Birth of a Social Media Star

Impressed by Mittens' charm, an SPCA employee set up a social media group for him. The group rapidly gained followers, making Mittens the most popular resident in Wellington. However, his family remained unaware of his growing fame until a reporter contacted them for an interview.

The Key to the City

Surprising everyone, including his own family, Mittens received the ultimate honor from the mayor of Wellington - the key to the city! At the age of 14, Mittens retired to Auckland, where he now enjoys a well-deserved life of comfort at home.
