About Smokey

Smokey is a super friendly barn cat looking for a cozy barn home. He prefers not to use litter boxes, so he’ll need some time to adjust before going outdoors; about a month of indoor confinement is best. Since he lacks a winter coat, a heat source will be necessary for him this year. Smokey is quite social and would thrive in an environment where he can interact with people and possibly other animals. He is already neutered and up to date on vaccinations. For those wishing to adopt, visit in person during open hours or consider adopting remotely with a 24-hour hold. Smokey is ready for a loving home that understands his needs.
