Mr. Black and White (aka Smudge)

Meet Mr. Black and White, a charming feline whose gentle spirit and soulful eyes immediately capture your heart. Have you ever heard someone described as an "old soul"? It means they are mature, wise, and calm beyond their years. Mr. B&W is the very embodiment of this phrase in cat form—a calm, thoughtful companion whose presence brings a sense of peace to any room.<br/><br/>I first met Mr. B&W six years ago, when he was a shy feral cat wandering through my neighborhood. At the time, he would dart away at the slightest sign of a human, his trust hard-won after a life outdoors. I began leaving food and water for him, and with patience and time, he grew more comfortable around me. Eventually, he began to show his trust by approaching, rubbing against my legs, and seeking affection, which I always happily provided.<br/><br/>For many years, Mr. B&W chose the freedom of the outdoors, even though I made sure to provide him with a cozy, heated cat shelter during the cold months. He relished his independence but never strayed too far from my house, always keeping a watchful eye on his little corner of the world. Everything changed last winter, when a fierce snowstorm swept through our area. For the first time, Mr. B&W sought shelter inside, braving the unknown for warmth and safety.<br/><br/>Since I have other pets in my home, I set him up in my heated garage where he could stay safe and comfortable throughout the winter. He adjusted surprisingly well, enjoying the warmth and the soft bedding I provided. This summer, as the weather warmed, he transitioned fully to indoor life, discovering the joys of cozy couches, sunny windowsills, and gentle human companionship. He has truly blossomed, showing more of his loving personality every day.<br/><br/>Though Mr. B&W now loves his new home, he is still searching for a human of his very own—a person who will cherish his gentle nature and return his affection. He is incredibly loving and thrives on attention, happily accepting pets, belly rubs, and chin scratches. He adores being brushed, and when you pick him up, he melts right into your arms, purring contentedly. He has a clean bill of health and is ready to start a new chapter in his life.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a devoted, affectionate, and wise companion, Mr. B&W is truly your guy. Open your heart and home to this remarkable cat, and you’ll gain a loyal friend for life.
