About Skeel

Skeel made his long journey to us from Puerto Rico in March of 2024. He faced some health challenges upon arrival, including FIV, allergies, and an eye condition that required surgery. After receiving the necessary care and recovering from his eyelid surgery, he is now well-managed on an allergy diet and fully ready to find his forever home. If you’re considering adding a loving feline friend to your life, speak to a staff member about the best ways to care for Skeel and make his transition as smooth as possible. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
