Meet Smokey

Smokey (18 years old) is looking for a cuddle partner(s) as he lives out his golden years. He takes a few days to get comfortable around the house, but after that he’s your shadow and wants to be near you always. Don’t let his age turn you away; he has lots of love and snuggles left to give! Smokey is calm around other cats and dogs; he’s not particularly snuggly with them, but he is also good with sharing space. He has not been with children, but I cannot imagine he would be any different with them. When he isn’t eating his favorite food (preference for Friskies wet food), or sleeping, this handsome fellow is thoughtfully assisting you in anything and everything you do. He doesn’t love to be picked up, but he more than make up for it in snuggles. Smokey enjoys finding elevated areas to look out the windows and keep an eye on everything outside. He takes a bit more time to be comfortable outside his designated area, but once he knows he’s safe he wants to be your protector and partner. He’s particularly curious about the shower but wisely continues to sit outside it while you get ready. And lately, he almost exclusively drinks from the bathroom tap now that he’s learned how to get on the sink. Smokey is part Maine Coon and has 6 toes on each front paw; this gives him some extra pizzazz and makes it look like he’s constantly wearing mittens! This dignified gentleman has kidney disease and arthritis, (which only bothers him if he doesn’t get it treated regularly for pain management), but he’s still young at heart and enjoys playing at least once a day. His forever people should be committed to keeping him on his arthritis meds and monitoring his kidney function and water intake, but both are easy to do. He’s such a gentle soul. This fluffy guy crawls in my lap and helps me work throughout the day and sleeps with me in bed at night. When he wants attention, he will very gently paw at your face. He is a bit mischievous and occasionally plays with my hair or necklaces, bites cords, or tries to open doors he knows he shouldn’t, but (mostly) listens when I tell him to stop. In short, he is a lovely gentleman who will thrive in a calm home with loving people who work from home or are around a lot to give him the care and attention he deserves. Senior cats are so sweet, and deserve the very best. Please consider adding Smokey to your family! Interested in adopting or learning more about this cat?
