Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Everyone's favorite 5-year-old man, Smokey is a chill, lumbering domestic shorthair male.
His ideal adopter would have no other cats in home, because Smokey prefers to have you all for himself! He values his alone time, but he also enjoys being in the company of humans, and if you let him smell you first he's sure to permit some pets. Give him a treat and he might even say thank you!
Going through a series of scary procedures and vet visits has left Smokey a tad bit impatient, so his boundaries have been raised as a result. He'll let you know when he wants to be left alone, so don't be surprised if he gets a bit nippy - but a cat savvy adopter will know to read his body language, as he's very clear in his intentions! Smokey also loves the great outdoors, so access to an outside catio would ideal for our brave boy.
It's important to note that Smokey is FIV-positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). While not the grim news it once was believed to be, it means he is more susceptible to illnesses such as respiratory infections or skin problems. With proper attention and a loving adopter, Smokey can continue leading a happy life and bring you love for years to come!

During the Covid-19 outbreak, almost all of our adoptable animals are in foster homes. In most cases it is not possible to visit cats in the shelter.
