About Smoosh

Smoosh has packed a lot into her brief 9-month life. As a curious little kitten in Richmond Hill, Queens, she won over even the grumpiest of cats and raccoons. This social butterfly even allowed humans to touch her, which is quite the feat for a feral kitten. However, her adventurous spirit led her to get caught up in gardening wire, creating a tight bind around her paw that could have cost her leg. Thankfully, after a week-long rescue and a $2000 surgery, she’s now fully recovered and ready for her forever home! Smoosh is a playful and funny little calico who can be a bit shy at first. But once she feels comfortable, she showers you with headbutts in sheer joy. She would thrive in a home with another cat and might just get along with the right dog. Smoosh is looking for someone who appreciates her unique spirit. Ready to welcome this brave heart into your life?
