Male Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair (Short Coat)
Description:
Smokey is a super sweet, loving guy looking for an owner to give him a chance to show off his funny, sweet, loving personality. Our rescue's mission is to assist terminally ill people with finding new homes for their pets, and Smokey came to us after his beloved owner, who had him his whole life, passed away. His owner lovingly called Smokey "his rascal." He is such an affectionate guy. He keeps an eye on you as you move throughout the house, waiting for the moment when you settle on the couch to watch TV or read so he can settle as close to possible to your side. He likes to keep a paw on you at all times, even while he is sleeping, so expect a back leg to be setting on your leg while he is snoozing, just so he knows you are still there for him. He has a very tiny meow - the meow comes out silently or tiny like a little kitten. It's too adorable! Although Smokey is 8 years old, he has plenty of energy and still plays like a kitten. He loves his squeaky mouse toy and is fascinated by shadows and light. He has nightly zoomies before he settles down. He also loves to hunt mice virtually on a tablet or the TV. Yes, he enjoys screen games too! He enjoys sleeping next to your pillow at night, always wanting to be close to his person. Smokey is 8 years old, has excellent litter box habits, is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and full bloodwork showed a healthy cat. Although he has lived with other cats, he likes to be the top cat in charge, and we think he would thrive as an only cat. He would also do well in a home with no dogs (or possibly larger dogs) because again, he prefers to the top of the animal kingdom in his home. The most ideal home for him would have no other pets competing with him for attention. If you are interested in Smokey, please email [email protected] or fill out an adoption application, available at tysonsplacerescue.org (click adopt and scroll down past the photos). Not ready to permanently have a cat? We are looking for a foster home for Smokey - you provide a temporary home and love, and we provide the supplies and vet care until he is adopted. Email [email protected] for more information about fostering.
