Pixiebob kittens & cats in Springfield, Massachusetts

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.

🎬 Swipe through the photos to see Miss Kitty in action! Miss Kitty is a sweet, confident lady with the most expressive face — one look at her and you just know there is a lot of love in there waiting for the right person. And when she finds them? She makes sure they know it. She weaves between your legs, melts into gentle head scratches, and will treat you to the most enthusiastic air biscuits you have ever seen. The joy she feels around a calm, gentle person is written all over her. When she has had enough pets she will give a polite little swat to let you know it is time for a break. Her ideal family will speak fluent cat and love her all the more for it. When she is not supervising her humans, Miss Kitty loves to play. Wand toys, catnip filled toys, and pipe cleaners are her absolute favorites — she will chase, pounce, and show off her skills with full commitment. After a good play session she is happy to settle into the simple pleasures: a cozy nap and a good meal. Miss Kitty would thrive as the star of a calm adult home with people who understand and respect feline body language. She has not met other cats yet and can be nervous around dogs, so she would do best as the only pet. Miss Kitty is currently in a loving foster home and cannot wait to hear from you.
