About Smokey

Meet Smokey, a gorgeous girl with long, silky black fur! She’s a friendly and affectionate companion who loves to curl up on your lap for cuddles or stretch out on the floor asking for pets. Smokey also enjoys playful moments with feather toys and her chirping bird toy. She has lived harmoniously with other cats, so with a gentle introduction, she might appreciate feline friends again. While Smokey is sweet, she can be nervous around young children, making a home with older kids the best fit for her. As she adjusts to a new environment, Smokey will require a dedicated setup.
