My story

On August 6th, Skipper showed up at 4 months old out of "nowhere"-suddenly rubbing on my legs while I was unloading my van. I took him in and got him to the vet for an exam all while looking for any possible owners. He's too sweet of a cat too have been feral and my best guess is that he was dumped. He's been well taken care of, clearing up his ear infections, respiratory infection, getting him current on vaccines, and will soon be neutered. He absolutely loves dogs and will play chase with them. I feel like he would do great with other cats as well. Nothing phases him and he's always happy and chill. All the vets love him too. He does not like having his nails trimmed, but has had them done regularly enough, as well as nail caps, that it isn't new to him. He's been fed a mixture of kibble and wet food and loves churros. I think he would do best in another house that has another dog/cat/animal he could play with. Unfortunately, I'm not able to be his forever home.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Skipper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
