Skittles

Skittles is a neutered male white-and-gray-tabby kitten, born on May 1, 2025. He was shy when the foster mom first got him, and he hid in the catio. But he is starting to peek around his hammock and learning to trust human touch. He has even warmed up to being held. Skittles loves wrestling with his litter mates and foster siblings. He needs a family who will nurture him and be patient in his journey to understanding human love. Skittles would also do best with a friendly cat or kitten friend as a buddy to help him blossom. Indoor cat only! The adoption fee is $50. RS

Skittles is located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is available weekly. If your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you wish to transport the pet to your location for a cost.

To adopt Skittles, please submit this adoption application.

How did you hear about us?

Consent(Required)

I agree to RCHS conditions.

****Our goal in rescuing and re-homing animals is to provide them with a loving home for the rest of their lives. The adoption fee covers some their medical costs associated with the animal, medical and daily care during their foster period and any special care.
All animals adopted by our group MUST BE spayed/neutered prior to finalizing the placement. Most of RCHS’s adoptables are in foster care in Rutherford Co, NC.
Your signature below states that you understand any future medical costs are your responsibility and we have made full disclosure regarding our & our vet’s knowledge of the health of the animal.
Sometimes, for reasons beyond anyone’s control, the adoption does not work out. In this case, the animal must be returned to RUTHERFORD COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY (RCHS) at the adopter’s expense, although RCHS will try to arrange a rendezvous to minimize the adopter’s inconvenience. Adoption fees may be refundable, at the discretion of RCHS.
By signing this application, I attest to the fact that I am 21 years of age or older, and that the above information provided is correct, to the best of my knowledge. RCHS and adopter agree to accept typed in names (electronic signatures acknowledging approval of this agreement, to be the equivalent of actual signatures of the parties.
