Skimpy’s Story
Meet Skimpy. This incredible cat has overcome big challenges with a heart full of love and a zest for life. Skimpy met the Friends of the Shelter when the vet clinic staff asked for help in aiding a cat with a urinary tract blockage. After a week at Grant County Veterinary Clinic with catheterization and fluids, Skimpy joined a foster home—only to stage a daring escape! Thanks to dedicated trapping efforts, he was successfully trapped and returned to his foster home after three days, but his adventure and unrestricted diet during his escape led to another blockage and a five-day vet stay.
Now, Skimpy’s thriving on his special prescription food, with no issues since, and he’s ready to charm his way into your home! Despite any cravings Skimpy may have, it is imperative to keep him on his prescription diet to keep him from experiencing another urinary blockage.
Skimpy is a total lovebug who greets everyone with affection, adores snuggling, and even “dances” with joy! He gets along beautifully with kids and his feline foster friends. Skimpy is obsessed with lounging on the catio. To keep this superstar happy, he needs a secure, enclosed outdoor space (a catio!) and must stick to his prescription diet for life. Our dedicated foster has cared for Skimpy for months, and he’s proven he’s an amazing companion ready for a forever family to spoil him. Will you give this resilient, cuddly cat the loving home he deserves?
