About Skippy
Skippy is a torbie with a stunning mix of gray tabby stripes and orange highlights, and her big green eyes tend to catch the sunlight just right. She’s a tripod—her right front leg was amputated when she was a kitten after an injury, but she navigates daily life with quiet confidence. At a little over two years old, Skippy is laid back and prefers cozy evenings snuggled up while the TV plays or tucked in for the night next to you. She’s very affectionate and gentle. Right now, Skippy lives in a house with other cats, but they’ve singled her out and made her life stressful. The vet recommends she live as the only cat, where she can finally relax. She hasn’t lived with dogs or children, but would likely be okay around older, calm kids. Skippy is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and house trained. She weighs around 8 lbs and thrives in a peaceful environment where she feels safe and loved. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
