This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Skyler is on the at-risk list due to behavior. She is not thriving in the care center when staff have to provide basic animal care daily and she may display conflicted behaviors when engaging with attention during staff interactions or socialization. Due to her stress levels, it is in her best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. She would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give her plenty of time and space and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers.What my friends at ACC say about me:Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!I am a cat that is in need of a lap! I can't wait to be your new lap cat.I am looking for a home with a patient person.I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.Meet Skyler!Skyler is a sweet and affectionate kitty who's looking for a calm, understanding home. She may start off perched in a high spot like the top of her den, but she'll quickly come forward when called, ready to say hello. Skyler enjoys gentle petting on her cheeks, head, and back, and she often greets affection with soft purrs and a happy, high tail.She has a playful side too-she loves treats and catnip, which make great tools for bonding and enrichment. Skyler tolerates being picked up, though she may squirm a bit and prefers having the option to come and go at her own pace.Skyler does have a history of biting or scratching when startled or upset, so she'll do best with an experienced cat guardian who understands feline body language and can give her space when needed. A quiet, predictable, adult-only home environment will help her feel safe and thrive. With patience and respect, Skyler promises to be a loyal, loving companion.
