About Inky

Meet Inky, a charming and tiny senior kitty with a glossy black coat who loves nothing more than curling up with you for lap-time and enjoying soothing brushing sessions. At 17 years old, she carries a wealth of love in her heart but is now looking for a second chance at a forever home. Though she can be a bit assertive with more submissive cats, Inky shines brightly as a delightful companion, especially for someone who appreciates her seasoned wisdom. Inky’s story is a touching one. She’s among the 14 cats rescued after the passing of her beloved owner, affectionately known as "Coach," who dedicated his life to saving and nurturing cats in Jefferson County. Inky, along with her brothers Rudy and Bouncer, was raised in a loving environment, giving her a gentle nature. Initially shy, she quickly warms up, greeting you with endearing, loud meows that demand affection. Despite her age, this little lady still has plenty of spirit and energy to bring joy into your life. Adopt two of Coach's cats together and only pay one adoption fee! Help keep Coach’s legacy alive by offering Inky a loving home—she’s ready to be your devoted companion for many years to come. All cats adopted through To The ResQ have been thoroughly vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped with free transfer registration, combo-tested, and dewormed. Let's give Inky the life she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
