MEET Skeeter, aka Lloyd Christmas! ?? 
Skeeter is available for Adoption through Fur the Love of PAWS Rescue. 
(Read full bio for how to adopt and all info.)

My History! ??
Skeeter was taken to the city shelter. He had an injury and Fur the Love of PAWS Rescue paid to have him examined by a vet. Upon that examination, the vet found multiple fractures in his back end; he had double fractures on his pelvis and femur and fractures on his ishium and illium, part is his hips. The cause was likely from being hit by a car. With fractures like this, the only thing you can do is provide pain relief and time to rest and heal. He was put on pain medication and cage rest for 2-3 weeks until a recheck could be done. 
So 3 weeks later, we had him rechecked and he was healing fantastically! The fractures were looking great and he was cleared to have a regular kitten life, with limited jumping and running, as much as possible for awhile longer - just to continue to allow more time for those fractures to heal. 
Skeeter has been with us for two week now and is doing great! You really dont notice anything "different" about him, except maybe the occasional limp if hes been playing a little too long and he also likes to sit side legged (reminds me of our sweet Buzz who had very similar injuries). But other than that, he is your normal, happy go lucky, playful, rambunctious, curious kitten and hes ready to find the home of his dreams!

What kind of Family would I like? ????
?Skeeter is a very social and outgoing kitten. He would be perfect for a busy family and doesnt mine chaos and hustle and bustle.
?He loves to play, as any kitten does. He loves cat trees and being up high and exploring everything. Skeeter loves to help you with chores and be with you, but he also loves to go off and play alone or take a nice window nap.
?Skeeter is the best, sweetest, funniest little guy ever, he loves to carry toys around in his mouth and drop them in the water bowls and fountains ??
? Skeeters former injury shouldnt be an issue. He may get a hitch in his giddy up if he goes too hard, but we have some pain meds for those instances to send with (he takes like candy by the way!) Long term you may be looking at a little earlier arthritis than normal so joint supplements can always be used to support that.
?We really cant say enough good things about this kiddo, hes just awesome and ready to spread his Paws and bounce! ? 
?We are happy to answer any questions you may have, so ask away!
???? SKEETER is great with kids and is learning not to kitten bite and climb legs. He would love kids to grow and play with.
? SKEETER would love a home with another playful and affectionate cat. He is very respectful of other cats, so if they want alone time, he gives it. He is a very cat friendly cat.
? SKEETER is fine with dogs. 
?? I am litter trained and use a large covered box made by Natures Miracle and clumping non scented, dust free litter. 
?? I eat Purina ONE.
