About Skunky

Skunky and his sister, Little-Bit, spent their early years outdoors before recently making the switch to indoor life. Born in July 2016, Skunky got his name from the distinctive markings on his nose. He’s still adjusting to the comforts of being inside, but every day he becomes a bit more curious about people and life in a warm home. His long black and white tuxedo coat gives him a dapper look, and he seems to appreciate the quieter, comfier lifestyle. Skunky is already neutered, has been tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, received basic vaccinations including rabies, dewormed, and microchipped. He reliably uses the litter box and gets along well with other cats and children, making him a solid choice for a household looking for a gentle, independent companion. As a July baby, Skunky is a Cancer—expect a sensitive and loyal friend. Give this handsome senior the retirement he deserves. Adoption is handled by Clarion PAWS in Shippenville, PA.
