My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Schmatta was running around the neighborhood and being fed in our neighbor’s backyard. Around 4 months ago we took over some of the care of that neighbor’s cats when she became very ill. Schmatta continued to be fed outside by us, in the neighbor’s yard and on a street nearby. We became particularly concerned about him because he didn’t get along with the other street cats and didn’t have good street crossing instincts. We had already started feeding on our front porch and hoped that he would start feeding at our house and stop crossing the street. He started eating on our porch and following us, like a dog, to our neighbor’s house. He was adapting to us, but we were not convinced that he’d ever get along with other cats or happily stay indoors. He has since come into our house. He’s turned out to get along with other cats…mostly. He does not appear to have any interest in outside. He also has turned out to be a lap cat that likes tummy rubs. Who knew? We are guessing that his age is between 1-2 years old. Sadly, that means that he’s too young for people of our age. This is why we’re looking for a permanent home for him. Someone will end up with a great cat.
