About Smitty

Smitty and his brother Darby are bonded siblings looking for a loving home together after losing theirs. Smitty may initially come across as a big scaredy cat, but once you earn his trust, he reveals himself as a sweet, affectionate companion. He adores snuggling up next to you and doesn't hesitate to dive into your lap for those lengthy cuddle sessions. He expresses his love by making biscuits and is always curious about what you're doing, often following you around or watching from a cozy distance until it’s safe to join you. Despite having cloudy eyes from a past illness, Smitty is still spry and enjoys chasing after laser pointers with charming clumsiness. He recently had his teeth removed, yet he embraces life without toothaches, happily showing off his adorable, drooly personality while he plays. This sensitive soul is ready to devote himself to the right family, so if you think he could fit in with you, don't hesitate to reach out! Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
