My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Skittles – A Shy Sweetheart with a Chatty Twist!

Skittles is a very shy but incredibly sweet kitty who proves that the quietest cats often have the biggest hearts. Once he feels safe, his playful and talkative side comes out—he loves to follow his favorite person around and politely (or not-so-politely) meow for attention.

He’s looking for a calm, indoor-only home with mature kids who can respect his boundaries and interact in a quiet, gentle way. Skittles does well with other cats after a slow introduction, and it’s important that his home has one litter box per cat, plus one extra, to help everyone live in harmony. No dogs, please—he prefers a peaceful, canine-free zone.

Skittles’ Comfort Checklist:
Plenty of cozy hiding spots and nap zones
TONS of toys, especially interactive ones and catnip
Cat trees and scratching posts for climbing and confidence-building
Window perches for peaceful bird-watching

Favorite Things:
Treats, wet food, catnip, playtime, following his favorite human, and chatting about his day.

With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Skittles will reward you with gentle companionship, sweet conversations, and a loyal little shadow.
