My name is Smokey!

Smokey is ready for adoption!!

This ultra handsome and debonair guy is ready to bring his larger than life personality into your home!

Smokey joined The POUNCE Alliance after he was found wandering the streets in late November, at a time when the shelters were full and unable to bring him in.  He was microchipped, but sadly an owner never came forward for him.  A friend of Smokey’s finders took him in as he wasn’t getting along with the male cats in their home. They reached out to us and agreed to foster Smokey through POUNCE. It was clear that he was older and needed a full exam and work up. After he received care, we found out Smokey was in need of a dental care and was suffering from urinary crystals.

After coming to The POUNCE Alliance, Smokey received necessary medical treatment for his urinary crystals by being put on a prescription diet, and received a dental to clean his teeth and remove ones that required extraction.  There was 10 teeth that needed extracted. He has been living in the loving home of his foster where he has been thriving and enjoying a life of comfort and care. 

Smokey is a wonderful cat with a loving and engaging personality.  He absolutely loves his people, will enjoy snuggling up with you on your lap - especially if you have a cozy blanket for him to rest on - and sleeping next to you at night in your bed. Although Smokey is quiet at night, during the day he loves to carry on conversations with the humans around him and  will be your constant companion, following you from room to room.  He is very well mannered, respectful of countertops, doors, and has impeccable litter box manners.

Smokey is confident and independent, enjoys head rubs but may be selective about being  petted on his tummy and body. He prefers to have human company during the day rather than be left alone for long periods of time, and will love to have a window to look out of during the day.  Smokey will want to have a cat tree or other things to satisfy his feline need to scratch.

A few things to keep in mind as you consider Smokey for your companion:

He will do best as the only animal in the home because he may not get along well with either cats or dogs. He has not done well in the past with other male cats, we don’t know how he would do with a female. He currently lives with two small dogs, but does get upset when they get in his bubble and will chase them off. For this reason, it’s likely ideal for him to find a home as the only pet or with one calm animal that keeps to themselves and doesn’t push his boundaries. 

Due to his history of urinary crystals, Smokey will require being permanently on a prescription urinary diet.  He is currently eating Hill’s Prescription Diet C/D.

As follow ups to his extractions upon intake, he will need annual exams to ensure that his mouth remains healthy, as any cat does! 

If you are looking for a loving, engaging kitty companion who will be your snuggle buddy and constant side kick, then Smokey is the cat for you!
