Skitzer (shy girl)

Birthday: August 1, 2018

It's hard to imagine the life that Skitzer had before she was rescued, but we will try to paint you a picture. Imagine a 3 months old weighing less than 2 lbs. They have no mother to care for them, no family to love, and no friends to talk to. That's what Skitzer had to live with while she was a stray. Everything was frightening, and the only thing that she knew was to scurry away from what she feared. As a result, she developed anxiety, hoping that all of the things that she thought were coming to get her would just leave her alone.

Skitzer was rescued when she was an adult, and as you can imagine, it was one of the scariest situations of her life! When she went to her foster home, she would run and hide, doing everything within her power to avoid the humans who were caring for her. Her foster discovered that keeping her in a separate room for a bit until Skitzer acclimated to them was the key to helping her feel secure.
