Skittle has been an outdoor cat for quite some time. He's been indoors with his rescuer since March, and he's become quite friendly and affectionate (on his own terms). Lately he's taken to sitting on the couch watching TV with his rescuers (which assures he gets lots of pets and attention). He can still be shy at times and will run and hide when suddenly anxious - and even do some swatting or biting if over stimulated. Some remnant of his couple of years on the street no doubt when he always had to be vigilant of threats. But then it's not long before he calms down and becomes quite social and friendly again.
Skittle has learned to be chatty at meal times when he's ready to be fed. He would make a lovely pet for someone with some cat experience willing to be patient and give him some time to settle into his new situation. He is best likely as a single cat or going to a home with a mellow, calm cat that he can cohabit with as he is easily overwhelmed and bullied by our jealous young lady cat at home and will hide from an aggressive cat if he's not feeling very courageous. Skittle is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue
KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
