smudge's Story

**COURTESY POST**<br/><br/>Smudge<br/>Age: 5 years<br/>Location: Shirley, MA<br/><br/>Smudge is a gorgeous, affectionate kitty looking for her forever home after her elderly caregiver could no longer care for her. She’s a sweet, playful girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! One of her favorite games is fetch — yes, fetch! She’ll happily chase after her toys and bring them back for another round.<br/><br/>Smudge loves spending time with her humans and will often curl up beside you or hop onto your lap for snuggles. She’s a true little shadow who enjoys keeping you company. She’s not a fan of belly rubs and will tolerate being picked up but prefers to come to you on her own terms. She does like head and chin scratches as well as giving occasional hugs. <br/><br/>She’ll need to be your one and only — Smudge doesn’t get along with other cats and prefers to have her people all to herself. She’d be most comfortable in a quieter home without young kids as she really wants all your attention and companionship to herself.<br/><br/>Smudge is currently on a small dose of Prozac (started 10/01) to help manage some anxiety-related overgrooming. She’s responding well and doing great under her foster’s care. She takes her medicine in a pill pocket every morning.<br/><br/>Smudge would thrive in a calm and loving home with a cat-savvy adopter who appreciates her quirks and is ready for a loyal, and very playful companion.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loving little shadow who will bring joy, laughter, and companionship into your life, Smudge might just be your girl. ?<br/><br/>***this is a courtesy post for a private foster who will be handling screening***<br/><br/>please fill out the following application and direct any questions through email @ thekittypawrlor@gmail.com.<br/><br/>https://forms.gle/wVrjMjMWoNJykUaR9

Fitchburg Friends of Felines, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Potential adopters are required to have a solid character reference, vet reference, and a site visit which can be conducted virtually. Due to MA regulations, we cannot intake pets from out of state. We offer a foster to adopt program to guarantee the intended kitty is a good fit for your family. We also require that all adopters agree to return the kitty should the adopter no longer be able to care for him or her in the future, or an agreed to person is identified to continue care for this kitty. We are not a brick and mortar; all available cats are kept in foster homes. Therefore, we would need time to schedule a visit to meet a kitty. We are happy to travel to match the perfect kitty for your family. Our adoption fees are normally $250 per cat, $350 for specialty breeds or exotics, and $50 less per kitty if interested in multiples. For specific questions, or for an adoption application, please feel free to reach out to us directly: fitchburgfriendsoffelines@gmail.com or call our hotline: 978-222-3170
