Skimmer & Dasher's Story

Meet Skimmer & Dasher, a pair of silly little dragonflies (we mean kittens)!<br/><br/>Named after the most common dragonfly varieties in Wisconsin, these sisters came to us as bottle babies from our local Milwaukee shelter and were raised by their foster mom from just a few days old. Now they're growing into two very different (but equally adorable) little ladies!<br/><br/>Skimmer, aka “Skimmy” or “Skimmy Gibbler,” is a brown tabby with white opinionated little gal who always has something to say. She loves racing around with her foster-mates, playing with her favorite toys (which are often pieces of trash she finds...from somewhere?!), and making sure everyone knows what's on her mind. When she's finally worn herself out, she'll plop into her foster mom's lap and rev up her purr engine.<br/><br/>Dasher was the quiet, sweet sister who patiently waited her turn at the bottle, but she's really come into her own! She's grown into quite the little athlete, zooming around the room and climbing the cat tree like it's her full-time job. She's also a professional shoulder-sitter, happily curling around her foster mom's neck the second she sits down... until another kitten makes a toy rattle, at which point she's OFF again.<br/><br/>Together, these girls bring a little bit of everything: Skimmer's big personality and running commentary, Dasher's athletic antics, and plenty of kitten chaos to keep life interesting. And when playtime is over? They're happy to recharge snuggled up together before the whole circus starts again.<br/><br/>These playful sisters would love to find a home together, though they could also be adopted separately into homes with another kitten or a young, playful resident cat under 5 years old. Ragged Claws Rescue policy requires all kittens to have a feline companion of a similar age and energy level. Sorry, doggos don't count!<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $175 for one kitten or $325 for a pair<br/><br/>Approx. DOB: 06/12/2026<br/>Their adoption fee includes spay, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, and standard treatment for fleas/ticks/worms/mites.<br/><br/>Ragged Claws Rescue is a foster-based organization, so all meet & greets take place in the foster home. Skimmer & Dasher are currently being fostered on Milwaukee's Lower East Side.<br/><br/>Ready to add a little dragonfly energy to your life?<br/><br/>Apply to meet them at bit.ly/raggedclawsadoption<br/><br/>Thank you for choosing rescue!

Ragged Claws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Folks interested in adopting one of our kitties should reach out to raggedclawsrescue(at)gmail(dot)com for an application or go to bit(dot)ly/raggedclawsadoption to fill out an application online. Once the application is approved, a representative will reach out within 48 hours to set up a meet & greet with the cat and its foster. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. Approved applications are merited on first-come-first-serve and best fit for the kitty's personality. Only applicants who are approved will receive messages. Approved applicants can move on to a Meet & Greet with the animal in question. Our org is foster-based so all our Meets take place in our foster's homes. There is a sleep-on-it policy after the Meet & Greet. No animals go home same day. It's easy to fall in love while there is a kitty purring in your lap, but we want folks to go home and weigh the pros & cons. It's an 18 year commitment after all! Contact the adoption coordinator the day after the meet & greet at raggedclawsrescue(at)gmail(dot)com if you would like to move forward to adopt, or if you'd like to pass on the animal. No hard feelings! We just want to know. If we do not hear from you 48 hours after a meet & greet, we will assume you are no longer interested and your application will be deleted. We also kindly ask that you not apply for a kitty until you are ready to make the commitment. We hold cats for a maximum of 2 weeks following a (mutually) positive meet & greet. Our foster space is precious, and for every cat in foster care there are two more waiting for its spot. Official adoption paperwork and adoption fees are paid during the animal pickup. We have a mandatory checkin with the adopter one week after adoption, and 30 days after adoption. Adopters can reach out at any time to our fosters or adoption coordinators with questions. Thank you for choosing rescue! **Not a 501c3**
