Smokey

Meet Smoked Sausage, lovingly called Smokey. Behind the permanently grumpy expression in his photos is a gentle 13-year-old boy who has already lost the person he loved most. After his owner passed away, Smokey arrived in foster care thin, confused, and carrying the kind of quiet heartbreak cats can’t explain.|<br/><br/>These days, he’s trying. He eats his special renal food like a champ, takes his tummy medicine without complaint, and has slowly started putting weight back on. There was never a medical reason for him being so underweight – sometimes grief just steals your appetite.<br/><br/>What Smokey wants most now is simple: a soft place to rest, gentle hands on his head, and someone who won’t mind when he asks for “just one more” pet. He melts for attention, rolling around happily and chirping when you stop too soon.<br/>Smokey would probably prefer to spend his golden years without other pets competing for attention. He’s already shared his heart once in his life, and losing that home has been hard enough.<br/><br/>At 13 years old, Smokey isn’t looking for adventure. He’s looking for peace. For safety. For one more person to love before the end of his story.<br/><br/>To  adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
