Skelly joined our Skelly Builder family in March 2019 and hasn’t looked back since! When you come to the Skelly office Skelly (the cat) will dazzle you with her beautiful blue eyes. Her favorite activities are avoiding her sisters attacks, cuddles, being beautiful, hiding, sleeping, begging for food, and eating food.
Sushi comes to us from Austin Pets Alive. She was technically “feral”, so she has a clipped ear from being caught and released. This little love bug was instantly happy to join Skelly in being the most loved office cats. Sushi provides comedy and cuddles for the Skelly Team. Her favorite activities include: being carried around, chasing anything that moves, cuddling, attacking her sister, slumbering on the couch (or really anywhere) and of course eating. Sushi loves to greet everyone who comes to the Skelly Build Office.
Some love from our clients
”The staff is attentive and understands your ideas, and they help you carry them out, and if they are not possible, they always suggest an alternative to meet your requirements. Lily is super attentive and always seeks that the client is satisfied with the work they are doing. The communication with her was super good despite the distance and limitations.
