My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Skipper (about 3 months old as of 6/25/2024) is a female grey tabby shorthaired kitten. Skipper was born to a feral cat in an abandoned boat in Zion. Thankfully when she was about 4 weeks old her whole family was trapped and brought inside to be fostered in a loving foster home. She has grown up to be a very sweet, happy, friendly and oh-so-goofy girl. Skip taught herself to play fetch with her favorite toys- cheap little rattling catnip mice- and keeps herself very busy every day playing with toys or chasing her brothers and foster aunts and uncles around. She would definitely do best adopted with another kitten or a super playful adult cat that can handle a pesky baby sister. Trying to keep Skipper occupied with endless games of fetch and tummy tickles is a feat no human could handle alone. She hasn’t lived with dogs since she was a tiny baby in a boat but she watches Doggy Daycare on TV every day and doesn’t seem bothered by dogs at our adoption events- we think she could adapt to living with a sweet cat-loving dog very well.

Skipper will be spayed on June 30th and available to go to her forever home shortly after that- or if her adopters prefer her foster family are happy to hold onto her until after the busy, loud, and potentially stressful 4th of July holiday weekend.
