Skippy could live with children aged 10+. He could potentially live with other animals and will require outdoor access.

Skippy is a very special little boy who sadly had a delayed start to his early socialisation due to being discovered in our on-site skip along with his Mum and littermates. He initially was a timid and worried boy who was wary of human contact, but he has been making great progress recently and is now a very sweet little chap who will purr away when being stroked and enjoys interaction with his human friends.

Skippy still has a way to go in building his confidence, he needs a family who can interact with him in a calm, quiet and patient manner. He can still be easily spooked and so would be best suited to a home with older children.

Kittens require lots of play, stimulation and companionship and so Skippy is looking for a family who have lots of time to spend with him whilst he continues his development into a happy, healthy adult cat.

Skippy is an incredibly tough little guy, being found as an approximately 4-week-old kitten, living as a stray in a skip. He has been an incredibly brave little lad learning to trust humans, he so deserves to find a forever family who will spoil him rotten and make his difficult start to life a distant memory.

Please note that we prioritise getting our animals into their forever homes as soon as possible and so will only be contacting successful applicants who are ready to rehome immediately.

For those applying with existing animals already in the home, they must be up-to-date with vaccinations – including yearly boosters – for us to be able to rehome a kitten into the home.
