Smokey is a gentle soul who is still learning that people can be kind. Having spent much of his life as a stray with limited human interaction, this shy boy will need patience, understanding, and a calm home where he can slowly come out of his shell. While he may keep his distance at first, Smokey is not aggressive at all -- he's simply scared and trying to figure out this whole "indoor cat" thing. With time, consistency, and lots of quiet encouragement, Smokey has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. He has done well with other cats in the past and may feel more confident with a feline friend around. We aren't sure yet how he would do with dogs, so slow introductions would be recommended. Smokey is looking for someone willing to give him the chance he's never really had before: a safe home, patient love, and the opportunity to learn what it means to truly belong.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org
