Hello everyone. My name is Skittles. I was found hanging out in someone’s backyard and they took me in and cared for me until space opened up at GM. Because I didn’t grow up around humans, I am very nervous around them. I am only nine months old, but if we don’t interact with humans early on, it takes us longer to learn to trust them. I am getting better though! I know everyone loves me and is being very patient with me, but it’s going to take some time. It will probably be a while before I approach anyone for attention, but if you see me in a cat tree, feel free to slowly approach me and ask for pets. Just stick your hand out, let me sniff, then I will let you pet me on my head. I don’t like to be approached from behind, but if you come to me from the front and gently scratch the top of my head, I really do like it. So I am looking for a patient family, willing to work with me and give me time to adjust. And someone that will really commit to me and love me for who I am. I know in time I will be a loving companion, I just need someone to give me a chance.
Since I am so shy and insecure, I would really benefit from having a friendly feline friend or two. In my rescuer’s home, there were a few cats and I enjoyed their company. So I think I would learn to trust quicker if there were other confident kitties in the home.
So please consider me if looking for a friend. You can visit me on Saturdays from 10-4 or Sundays, 1-4. You can read about me and the other available kitties here and new ones added on Friday: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats
