Hey... I'm Smokey. I'm a 1-year-old, all-gray (some say quite handsome) gentleman with a soft coat and an even softer heart—once you get to know me. Let's get one thing straight though... manners matter. If you're meeting me for the first time, I expect a proper introduction. That means giving me a moment to sniff and say hello on my terms. No rushing, no grabbing—just a little respect, please. I promise, it goes a long way. You see, when people come on too strong, I can get a bit shy. I know, I know... it might surprise you for a big, solid guy like me (I've got a sturdy 11.5 lbs to back me up ). But underneath it all, I'm just a sweet, sensitive boy who appreciates a calm and thoughtful approach. Once we're properly introduced? That's when the real me comes out. I love chasing catnip mice, soaking up chin rubs, and hanging out with my people in a relaxed, easygoing way. I'm not complicated—I just need someone who understands that trust is built, not rushed. What I'm looking for: A calm, respectful human who knows how to read a cat's cues A home that will let me settle in at my own pace Plenty of toys (especially the catnip kind... just saying) I'm currently waiting to meet you at The PURRfect Match Cat Adoption Center, and I'd love the chance to show you what a great companion I can be—once we do things the right way. Come meet me... just remember your manners. —Smokey ---------- WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED?
