About Skittles

Meet Skittles! This sweet, shy girl is looking for a calm home where she can develop her confidence at her own pace. She may initially be hesitant around new people, but with patience, her lovely personality will emerge. Skittles thrives in the company of other cats and would greatly benefit from having a feline friend to help her feel secure. She could potentially adjust to a cat-friendly dog if introductions are slow and gentle. Skittles will do best in an adult or teen-only environment without young kids, allowing her the quiet and comfort she needs to build her trust. Skittles has been spayed, de-wormed, and is up-to-date on vaccines. She is liter box trained and ready to find her forever home after August 13th. With love and encouragement, she will blossom into a cherished companion. If you're ready to help her on this journey, apply today!
