About Smoke

Smoke is an independent kitty who would thrive in a calm, low-traffic home. He came to the shelter with his friends Tiger and Chunk, and he would love to find a forever home with them, or one where he has another cat to play with. Although he's currently feeling overwhelmed, Smoke is a true love bug when given the chance. He prefers a patient owner who understands that he needs time to adjust to new surroundings. While he's playful and full of energy, he’ll need suitable toys and daily interaction to help him settle. Due to his sensitivity, Smoke would do best in a home without very small children, but he might get along with older kids after some introductions. His playful nature is evident, so be prepared for some fun! If you’re looking for a sweet companion who takes things at his own pace, Smoke might be the one for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
