Born in 2025, Smokey Joe Jr. is a young adult grey boy with one very clear goal in life: to be as physically close to a human as possible at all times. Seriously. We’re not exaggerating. Open his enclosure and this boy doesn’t politely step out like a normal cat. No, Smokey Joe Jr. launches. Straight into your arms. Onto your shoulder. Into your lap. Wherever you are, he has decided that is exactly where he belongs. And honestly? He might just be the most huggable cat in the entire shelter. He’s soft, snuggly, and absolutely thrilled to be held. If you’re the kind of person who picks up cats and carries them around like a baby, Smokey Joe Jr. has been preparing for this moment his entire life. But Smokey Joe Jr. also has something else going for him: a voice. Not just any voice. A very specific voice. Imagine Stewie from Family Guy standing outside your door going: “Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Mum! Mum! Mum! Mum! Mummy! Mummy! Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!” That’s Smokey Joe Jr. when he wants you. Dads may also apply. And when he wants you… you will know. He’s a sweet, loving, extremely affectionate boy who is simply desperate to get out of the shelter and into a home where he can fully commit to his favorite hobbies: sitting in laps, climbing onto shoulders, yelling for attention, and generally being your tiny grey shadow. If you’re looking for a quiet, distant cat who will politely ignore you from across the room… Smokey Joe Jr. respectfully declines. But if you want a hilarious, affectionate, extremely cuddly little guy who will adore you loudly and enthusiastically every single day, Smokey Joe Jr. is ready to move in and start yelling “Mom!” immediately.
