I’m Smokey, a beautiful and friendly 12-year old Chartreux cat. My beautiful thick smokey grey coat and my gold eyes are enough to make you stop to pet me. But when you hear that my owner “traveled too much” to keep a low-key cat like me, you’ll know why I’m looking for a homebody to love me from here on out and I hope you’ll want to take me home!

When my owner put me in my cat carrier, I thought it was just a trip to the vet’s office. I didn’t understand why suddenly I was in a cold, stainless steel cage in a noisy pound, facing a certain end. All I did was ask for a bowl of food and water, a little love, and a place to sleep! I’m a really good girl, I never caused any trouble or made anyone sneeze – but I ended up on death row anyway. Thankfully, Young at Heart Pet Rescue stepped in and saved me, and I’ve been a happy girl ever since.

 

I love spending my days lounging in cat beds, climbing the cat tree, and hanging out with my other feline pals waiting for homes. I’ve lost a bit of weight since these photos were taken, but I do still enjoy my gourmet kitty meals! I enjoy being petted and loved on, and even enjoy being brushed. Once I know you’re my buddy, I’m even willing to let you hold me like a baby in your arms. I really like meeting new people, and I’d probably do just fine with a cat-friendly pooch, too. I am hoping for a loving family that doesn’t travel much, and can’t wait to go home!

 

I’m just a laid back girl who has fabulous litter box manners and a loving temperament. I’m also spayed and up to date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. My blood test results say I’m a healthy girl. Fill out an adoption application today! My adoption fee of just $55 benefits the rescued pets at Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I’m currently extra comfy in a foster home, but would love to find my forever home. Fill out an application to come meet me -- I’m ready to keep you company!
