About Skunk

Skunk is one vibrant little girl full of personality. She arrived at the shelter with her inseparable sister, Bobcat, and their bond is charming. While Skunk is playful and enjoys the company of both cats and her 85-pound dog foster brother, she also loves human companionship. Right now, her attention span is typical for a kitten—short! As she matures, she’ll likely enjoy settling down for longer laps of affection. Curiosity drives her adventures. Skunk loves digging in indoor plants and playing with a variety of toys. She's also quite the climber, always eager to show off her height on the counter stools. Ideally, Skunk would thrive in a home where she can be with other friendly cats or her sister. Calm, friendly dogs are welcome too, but they need to reciprocate her affection. She would likely do well with older children, as Bobcat tends to be shy. Skunk is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for her forever home. Think Skunk could be your new companion? Time to apply and make it official!
