About Skittles STK013818
Introducing Skittles, a true sweetheart with a heart full of love to give.
Skittles has a deep appreciation for companionship, and would be delighted to share a new home with a fellow feline friend.
Medical notes - Ataxic Gait
Skittles came in as part of a litter of kittens, where most of them appear to have an issue with their gait coordination. Some would appear more unsteady when walking but all kittens are able to ambulate and jump comfortably. None of them appear to be in pain. Spinal X-rays were done on the affected kittens and these appear to be within normal limits (for their age). These changes in their gait are likely to be congenital and we cannot ascertain how they will progress as they mature. All the kittens appear to be well in themselves and are coping well.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
Simply note the ID number and the cats name and visit our hostel at 200 Elder Street in Greensborough. Alternatively you can call the hostel on 8457 6500. We are currently open Mon-Fri 10am-4pm / Sat-Sun 10am-3pm.
You should bring proof of your current address and preferably photo identification such as your driving license. You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
