About Smidge

Smidge is looking for a calm and understanding home. This shy but independent girl wants to explore her surroundings at her own pace. While she loves to play, she can be a bit skittish and prefers soft strokes over head pets. Patience will go a long way with her. Loud noises and fast movements can make her nervous, so she needs a home without children under 10. If you’re willing to take the time to help her come out of her shell, you’ll be rewarded with her playful and affectionate nature. Smidge may also thrive in a home with other cats, given a slow introduction. Join her journey toward quiet companionship. Adoption Fee: $50
