Skimbleshanks (Bonded to Mungojerrie) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Skimbleshanks can't stop/wont stop! He is 100% playful, and only wants to snuggle after a long day of playing! He's mostly white, with some lovely orange markings, which include a very pretty orange striped tail, that puffs out like a raccoon when he's scared! One of his favorite things to do is jump on his brother, especially coordinated running jumps at each other!
