Meet Skye
Skye is a very special kitten and is looking for an extraordinary family to love her. She came into DCH care with her mama (Sabrina) and 6 siblings, all suffering from cat flu. Whilst Skye was one of 4 siblings who survived cat flu with mama, she suffered permanent blindness in her left eye, and was also born with cerebellar hypoplasia (aka "wobbly cat syndrome"), a rare neurological disorder that causes swaying while standing or walking/running. However, the disorder is not progressive nor contagious, and she is perfectly fine in every other way.
Skye is playful, affectionate, sweet and obviously a warrior. She has plenty of spirit and personality and never lets her physical challenges get her down. She loves climbing cat trees, playing with her siblings and kitten toys (such as balls and plushies), and coming in for cuddles and snuggles.
She loves wet and dry kitten food. She is toilet-trained on pellets and crystals. She is respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. She is fantastic with other kittens, cats, children and adults. She is quiet and incredibly inspiring to live with - she never lets anything get her down.
Skye will be available to join her forever home in August 2024 after she has an operation to remove her blind eye (she needs to be 6 months for the operation to have a best chance of success). Looking after Skye is just like looking after a normal kitten. She is strong, can see clearly in her other eye and is getting better at controlling her wobbliness.
If you are looking for an extraordinary kitten who is sweet, affectionate, playful, and brave, Skye would love to meet you.
