Smokey

Meet Smokey, aka Smoked Sausage.<br/><br/>Smokey is a 13-year-old tabby who has perfected the art of looking deeply unimpressed while actually being a playful, energetic, and very entertaining cat.<br/><br/>Just look at that face. Smokey appears to have several serious concerns he'd like to discuss with management. In reality, what he mostly wants to discuss is when you're going to play with him again.<br/><br/>Smokey has a surprising amount of energy for a 13-year-old. He loves chasing toys, batting at anything interesting, and generally behaving like someone forgot to tell him he's a senior citizen. He also makes the most adorable little chirping sounds when he wants something. And he will let you know when he has a request.<br/><br/>Smokey is a little timid and may take some time to feel comfortable with new people. He isn't the cat who is likely to march into a new house and immediately assume ownership of the place. Give him some time, let him come to you, and you'll get to know the funny, playful personality hiding behind that perpetually grumpy expression.<br/><br/>When Smokey came into foster care, he was very skinny and was already on a prescription renal diet. He has done well in foster care, but he will need to remain on a prescription renal diet for life. He also takes oral medication for his tummy. Fortunately, Smokey is an easy patient: he happily takes his medication when it's tucked into pill wrap.<br/><br/>There is one important requirement for Smokey's new home: he needs to live in a dog-free household. Smokey is terrified of dogs and would not be comfortable sharing his home with one.<br/><br/>Smokey is currently living with his "sister." They aren't related by blood, but they came from the same former owner. They get along, but they aren't bonded, so Smokey does not need to be adopted with her.<br/><br/>His ideal home would be a relatively quiet one where he can settle in at his own pace. Older children who understand that a cat may need some time to warm up would likely be fine.<br/><br/>He also has excellent litter box etiquette, because apparently even a cat who looks this judgmental has impeccable manners.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a senior cat who still has plenty of kitten in him, loves to play, communicates with adorable chirps, and comes with his own permanently grumpy facial expression, Smokey may be your guy.<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.
