Smokey Joe
We have a new member to our family. Smokey Joe is a rescued cat.
A friend of mine found him, rather he found her, and she took him to a shelter. The folks at the shelter and they said they would hold him for 3 days, but if no one claimed him, they would put him to sleep because he was unadoptable. The reasons – he was too matted and had ear mites.
during the 5 weeks Smokey lived with them, she had him neutered, declawed, and all the shots and things one normally does for cats. Also the ear mite problem solved. She had his very long, very matted coat shaved off. It’s just growing in now.
He’s about 1 year old, and very affectionate.
I believe that Smokey Joe is either all or part Maine Coon cat. We’ve had one before, and he seems to fit all the criteria looks wise and behaviorwise. I can’t wait to see him when his coat grows back!
