About Skoupy
We all have our favourites at Syros Cats, but Skoupy has always been special (even before 2024’s miraculous events – see below!)
Skoupy was rescued in December 2022 from a colony in Vari, and we think she is around ten years old. She had an awful mouth and coat so had to be bathed as she couldn’t groom herself. She was too thin so she had to gain weight before teeth surgery, when the vet took 6 out (that’s a lot for a cat!). However despite this she still had Chronic gingivitis so was always drooling and for a long time had recurring skin issues. Still, she loves cuddling and sitting on us, she’s a people cat (even if she was a bit ick!).
Then in April 2024 she suddenly stopped drooling, we didn’t know why, so a visit to the Vets ensued. She was actually pregnant! We genuinely thought this was an April fools joke from the Vet as she didn’t have a clipped ear but did have what looked like a neutering scar (sometimes cats that started off as pets don’t get the ear clipped). Anyway the ultrasound, which she loved (she was kneading the whole time), confirmed she was pregnant ! We scheduled her sterilisation for the next day but little did we know she started giving birth during the night ! In the morning she went to the vet anyway, however another ultrasound confirmed a second kitten on the way (very unusual for a senior cat) although she needed had a C-section (and a proper hysterectomy at the same time) this time, and April and Isaac were born! Despite being slightly confused by the whole incident Skoupy has been an excellent mum, weaning both kittens masterfully.
And so far, she hasn’t been drooling at all and hasn’t been bothered with her gums either. As of today Skoupy is a very sweet cat, full of love and very close to people as she absolutely loves cuddles (and she very much deserves them).
Absolute little star – we love you Skoupy!
