Smudge: a dog trapped in a cat's body: a Velcro to humans, loves to play fetch<br/><br/>Smudge's story: I was living with a little old man who unfortunately could not longer care for me, so I was given to a friend of a friend, who reached out to Fitchburg Friends of Felines to find me the perfect home, since I was not working out at their place due to their other cats.<br/><br/>So, hoping their fancy footwork... or, fancy typing... works, and I find a home soon!<br/><br/>First, I am gorgeous, and I know it. With my cute little face and compact build, I am hard not to fall in love with. I have those short little legs and resemble a British fold, but I have no papers or anything to prove it, so I am just... me! And all I ever need is you. No other kitties, thank you. <br/><br/>I am a total attention hog and want to be where the people are. I crave people, am super affectionate and love to play. I will meow softly to get your attention. It is adorable, I admit.<br/><br/>I am at home in both a noisy house and a quiet one. I love to climb and use my scratching pads. I am an expert at chasing balls and mice. I am actually quite tolerant of nail clipping and I super love to be brushed. I am good with children who respect boundaries but I am not sure of toddlers. My foster thinks a quieter home without young children would be best. I tend to agree.<br/><br/>I love my people. I rub up against your legs, stretch up to say hello with my stubby little legs, and even give little hugs. I thrive on attention and happiest when I am involved in whatever you’re doing. I was called a little shadow who enjoys keeping you company — whether that’s lounging beside you on the couch or following you from room to room like a dog.<br/><br/>Did I mention I offer loyal companionship and endless rounds of paintbrush fetch? I am obsessed with fetch, and will happily chase and retrieve it for as long as you’re willing to keep the game going. <br/><br/>I was a dog in a former life.<br/><br/>As for my weird medical history, I came to me with prescription eardrops and gabapentin, because sometimes I get excessively anxious and over grooms. I take the meds easily when mixed into a Churu treat. I am not showing any of these behaviors with my new fosters, though. I was on Prozac for a short time, but the original foster did not think I was a good fit for it and took me off.<br/><br/>I was also diagnosed with environmental allergies, including several common environmental triggers — including humans. Yup, I am allergic to the people I love. There is treatment for me, but it comes in the form of an occasional shot or a stick in my mouth twice a day. <br/><br/>My ideal home would be with someone who wants and has time for an affectionate, loveable and playful kitty, and just one, and has no other pets or kids. I will thrive with a patient, cat-savvy adopter who is home enough to give me regular playtime, affection, and stability. I will thrive in a calm, predictable home and an adopter who understands my sensitivity. I am hoping you are it!<br/><br/><br/>Fitchburg Friends of Felines facilitates a foster to adopt program that places the intended adoptee with the potential adoptive family.
