About S Smokey

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Smokey is an approximately 10-year-old Domestic Short Hair cat who was rescued from a feral colony along with dozens of others. He truly embodies the spirit of a survivor. While Smokey has learned to be comfortable around people, he may always prefer to keep his distance and might never welcome being touched. However, with patience and understanding, he can continue to blossom in the right forever home. Keep in mind that a shelter is a stressful place for any cat, and often, even the most nervous kitties quickly become more relaxed and happy once settled into a loving home environment. Adult cats like Smokey usually thrive when given their own space and time to adjust. If you're considering giving an adult cat a chance, Smokey could be the one waiting for you. As an added bonus, some cats may be available to foster through the rescue as well. For astrology lovers, Smokey was born on April 11, making him an Aries—a sign known for courage and resilience!
