8656 - Skittles

🤎🧡 MEET SKITTLES 🤎🧡

Hi, I'm Skittles! I came into care after being spotted a few days after my mum and siblings had been taken into care. I was only 7 weeks old when I was found and saved, so l hope you'll understand that I will need some time, love and patience to learn what a loving home is. Will you be the one to show me what fur-ever happiness is?

Nature
I am a little bit shy at first and sometimes get a little scared with sudden movements or loud noises. I have learnt to enjoy playing with my Foster Mum and I am really starting to love a head and back scratch more and more! You’ll know when you’re doing it right, my purr can not be missed once I start!

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I have met many humans, big and small, and I can be wary of them at first. I don’t like to be picked up yet. Once I find my fur-ever home, my purr-fect little heart is sure to take the lead and you’ll never imagine your home without me again!

A cat friend is important so I never have to feel alone. Since my brother went to his fur-ever home, I’ve been lucky that my Foster Mum is home a lot. When she goes out, I make sure she hears me cry before she can get to the door. I do miss having my brother to sleep and cuddle with, and especially to play with! We had the most fun!

My Foster Mum has never seen me interact with dogs so she says she doesn't know if I would be OK or not, but as I am still very young, I might be fine with a very slow introduction to cat savvy canine.

Likes / Dislikes
I really enjoy play time! If you give me a little time, I will chase the toys when you are throwing them around. I will also happily climb big scratching towers and play with my '3 rings with ball' toy and my 'cat jungle gym' from Kmart. I’ve even learnt to play fetch with these rattle filled little mice too. I’m really becoming quite clever! I even bring it back to my Foster Mum when she’s thrown it!

When it's my meal time, I have learnt to get my Foster Mum's attention by either giving 'that' look while sitting next to my bowl. If you are dishing up my food, you'll soon see me realise and I'll be sitting there ready with my best manners. I am not a fan of eating my meals if you're too close yet but I can be convinced pretty easily to take some chicken flavoured Temptations Treats from your hand! I currently love Royal Canin Kitten food in gravy for breakfast and dinner and Royal Canin Kitten biscuits to graze at throughout the day, but as I get older I will get to try new things. Oh! I am also a pro at using my 'Trouble & Trix Natural Pellets' in my litter box too!

Personal space is important to me at the moment as sudden movements or new people getting too close too quick can result in me hiding away for a little bit until I feel brave again. This won’t be forever, I just need to find my way to trust, be in comfort and know just how loved and safe I am.

My PURR-fect home would be somewhere indoors with a furry friend to play with. A cat run could also be fun for the summer days so I can enjoy that sunshine and fresh warm air safely. I don’t like to be alone. Being an only cat in a home would make me really sad. I’d love a home with lots of toys, lots of attention and lots of love paw-lease!
