Skippy is a 2.5 year old neutered male said to have a Savannah and a Junglebob parent. The breeder is not known to us nor are they searchable on the internet so we have not been able to verify the parentage. There were of course no papers. Skippy does have a bobtail but no polydactyl paws. He is located in Berkeley, CA.
Skippy is a friendly cat that got along just fine with the household dog and older cat, then about 7 months ago a kitten was introduced. That was thought to be fine but two months ago Skippy started peeing in the house once a day and the owners think it is jealousy of the kitten or a "wild cat thing". They feel that they have tried all they can (they did have him checked out by the vet) and that he needs a new home. Hence we cannot pinpoint the source of Skippy's behavior.
In terms of a new home, given that Skippy lived fine for years with a dog and cat, we feel a home with other pets would be fine with the appropriate slow and thoughtful introduction. Care should be taken to avoid stress and work on any issues that arise. We cannot know what the cause of Skippy's inappropriate urination issue is, so the new home would have to be willing to work on this if it occurs.
Skippy lives with an older child hence probably any child over 8 years of age will be fine. Skippy is known to play rough with the cat and dog hence a very young child may not be a good idea for him. He does not like to be picked up and prefers to choose when he is petted.
