Story
Smudges (born around June of 2020) came to Safe Haven as a kitten, and she has since been living at a foster home with several little dogs. She is very friendly and affectionate with her foster dad and her foster dog-siblings. Smudges has started spending the day with the cats and people at Safe Haven, and she has warmed up well to the people but not the other cats. Smudges would probably be happiest in a one-cat home, but she should adjust well to a home with dogs.
