My story

Birthday: August 1, 2018 It's hard to imagine the life that Skitzer had before she was rescued, but we will try to paint you a picture.  Imagine a 3 months old weighing less than 2 lbs.  They have no mother to care for them, no family to love, and no friends to talk to.  That's what Skitzer had to live with while she was a stray.  Everything was frightening, and the only thing that she knew was to scurry away from what she feared.  As a result, she developed anxiety, hoping that all of the things that she thought were coming to get her would just leave her alone. Skitzer was rescued when she was an adult, and as you can imagine, it was one of the scariest situations of her life!  When she went to her foster home, she would run and hide, doing everything within her power to avoid the humans who were caring for her.  Her foster discovered that keeping her in a separate room for a bit until Skitzer acclimated to them was the key to helping her feel secure.   And it worked! After a bit of time and patience, Skitzer began to trust the humans who were caring for her, and she started to let her guard down a bit!  Once they were able to build trust and develop a relationship with her foster, she became a sweet, affectionate, and very cuddly kitty!  She loved to show her appreciation by grooming her humans, making biscuits, and even tag along whenever there were chores to do around the house!  She might be on anxiety medication for the trauma she had to endure, but it's almost a complete turnaround from how she was in the beginning!   Skitzer is now looking for a family to call her own!  She might have the same reaction she did when she first arrived to her foster home, but we believe that she is more than capable to taking to people like she did with her foster.  She seems to get along with other cats, but she prefers to keep to herself.  She can get bullied very easily, so it might be best if she was the only kitty.  However, she might do well with a very calm kitty or cat-savvy puppy dog.  The smaller humans tend to startle her since they can be jarring with their wild movements and unpredictable behavior.  So Skitzer is hoping that her new home doesn't have any children.  She would be beside herself if anything were to happen to them because of her!  Remember, she may be a bit of a 'fraidy cat, but at the end of the road, only snuggles and chest cuddles are waiting for you! Skitzer's adoption donation is $75 which includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, spay and microchip.  If you would like more information on Skitzer, please contact Christy at lovingcarecatrescue@gmail.com.
