Cobra (at Smitten Kitten)
Don't be misled by my name. I am 100% cat with zero reptile DNA. I am also much sweeter than your typical cobra. I am 5-years-old, neutered, great with the litter box, and according to the interviewer lady (IL), my grey and buff coat is silky soft. I am also a bit on the chubby side, at 13.9 pounds. I transferred from a very crowded shelter to the HSHC on August 13, and eight days later I moved to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC). It has been quite a change for me, but I've managed to maintain my sweet-natured personality. I have found my favorite spot to hang, watch the room, and greet the folks here. It's a dark grey wall shelf with the perfect-sized bed. The IL took some pictures of me in it while I posed for some cutie-pie photos. I love being petted and given loads of affectionate attention. I am a favorite resident cat, and I get plenty of fan mail! The IL couldn't stop giving me chin rubs since I turned upside down on my shelf. Come on over to the Cafe for a visit-we might fall in love with each other! 9-8-26

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
