Smokey is a sweetheart of a cat who had a rough start in life. He was removed from a hoarding situation with 20 cats in a small apartment. He very rarely received any attention or affection and spent most of his time hiding in a kitchen cabinet. In spite of this, he is a super loving, affectionate, and gentle cat. It took him a few days to feel safe in a foster home, but once he came out of his shell, he can't get enough pets and affection. He gives head butts for more pets or jumps up to touch his head to your palm to signal that he would like More Petting Please! He isn't a pest about it, however, and will happily curl up on the couch beside you or on the floor or a cozy bed while you work, watch tv, read, etc. He is an all-around good-natured cat who gets along well with other cats and would probably be okay with a calm, cat-savvy dog, with a slow and careful introduction. Smokey would do best in a calm household with people who want to show him the affection he missed out in in his first couple of years of life. He is all black except for the toes of one foot, which look like he dipped them in a can of white paint.

Miss Kitty is an independent lady with a big personality and an even bigger love for pets… on her terms, of course. She enjoys attention and will happily soak up head scratches and affection, but she’s also great at setting boundaries—when she’s had enough, she’ll give a little swat to let you know it’s time for a break. Because of this, she would do best in an adult-only home or with experienced cat guardians who understand and respect feline body language. When she’s not supervising her humans, Miss Kitty loves to play! Wand toys are her absolute favorite, and she’ll happily chase, pounce, and show off her skills. After a good play session, she enjoys the simple pleasures in life: cozy cat naps and a good meal. Miss Kitty prefers to be the star of the show. She can be nervous around dogs and hasn’t met other cats yet. If you’re looking for a confident, playful, and delightfully sassy companion who will keep life interesting, Miss Kitty might just be your perfect match! Sassy cats are usually confident, intelligent and active. They often don’t like to be held, or have places on their bodies that they prefer not to be touched. When handled or petted in ways they do not prefer, they are likely to swat, nip or bite. They will be happiest in adult only homes or those with older kids who understand cats that have rules and will leave them alone. If they are bored then they may get into trouble and often need extra playtime in order to be their best selves. Sassy cats will go home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for EVERYONE in the home to be happy. Typically, sassy cats are not for first-time cat owners. This cat has specific litterbox needs. When you bring this cat home they will need to be set up in a room by themselves. This cat will go home with a behavior plan that you will need to follow in order for them to use the litterbox reliably. Ready to Adopt?
