About Skywalker | |
|
|
Skywalker grew up with his 3 brothers and 5 older adopted siblings. Although he was younger, he emerged early as a leader of the pack. He's curious, friendly, eager to explore, and always sleeps with a few human or feline friends. He loves to meet new people and show them how much he loves to play. All orange boys are handsome, but Skywalker stands out with his symmetrical white facial markings and white feet. He was born confident and thinks nothing of walking up to an adult cat's food and stealing it. The world is his and he knows it! Skywalker was the first to learn his name and he'll come running when called. Skywalker is a very active kitten, but when he's done playing he's ready for a cuddle. He'll curl up on your lap or legs for a nap. He loves pets and belly rubs. He's most often found with his sidekick, Obi Wan, but he'd be happy to be adopted with his Mom, honorary aunt Chynna, or any of his siblings.
Skywalker asked us to tell you a little bit about his Mommy Sky and Auntie Chynna:
Tiny Sky arrived at an urban shelter just 10 months old with 9 kittens in tow, 8 orange boys and 1 brown tabby girl. They were surrendered by an elderly lady who could no longer care for herself, let alone her multiple, mainly orange, kitties. Only 4 of the 9 kittens are Sky’s own; she adopted 5 who had been abandoned by one of her “cousins”. (Yes, that means that Sky is a foster kitten AND a foster mom.) Although Sky was nursing almost 24 hours a day, she was unable to make enough milk for the babies, and she and the babies were very underweight. The babies were barely the size of 1 to 2 week old kittens, yet their eyes were all open and they could climb and do things kittens do at 3-4 weeks! Supplemental bottle feedings from foster mom and dad allowed the babies to catch up. Foster sister Chynna (also avai lable for adoption) is honorary auntie to all the kittens.
UPDATE July 18, 2015: I am sooo excited to let you know the force was really with us at our very first adoption fair: I was adopted with my brother Khan!
