My story

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

***Currently in a foster home. Meet & Greet will be arranged with an approved adoption application. ***

I was only about a week old when I was found orphaned, alone, and in need of help. A kind young woman reached out to Animal Ark, and they quickly stepped in to rescue me. From there, I was welcomed into a loving foster home where I was bottle-fed, nurtured, and given the chance to grow strong. That’s also where I got my name — Smooch — a longhaired brown tabby girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

Now that I’m growing up, I’m showing everyone just how fun and adventurous I am. I love playing with boxes, chasing toys on sticks, and climbing my cat tree like a tiny acrobat. I’m also great with other animals — I enjoy interacting with my foster’s dogs (even the 90-pound one!) and their cats. I’m a curious, confident kitten who’s always ready to explore.

Because I’m still young and learning, Animal Ark has a few requirements to make sure I thrive in my forever home:

I cannot be placed in a home with children under five years old.

I must be adopted with a kitten buddy or go to a home that already has a friendly, playful resident cat. Having a feline friend helps me develop healthy social skills and makes growing up so much more fun.

If you think we might be the perfect match, please submit an adoption application so we can schedule a meet and greet. I can’t wait to charm you in person and show you just how special I am.
