Smoke Domestic Short Hair Sumter, SC

Smoke, the timid and shy cat with amber eyes, is a delicate creature that moves through life like a whisper in the wind. Cloaked in a luxurious coat of smoky gray fur, this feline's most striking feature is its warm, amber-hued eyes that hold a hint of both mystery and vulnerability.

With a slight, cautious tilt to its head, Smoke's amber eyes dart nervously from side to side, reflecting the perpetual wariness that defines its nature. The fur around its ears stands on end, creating an endearing, almost owl-like appearance when it senses the slightest disturbance in its surroundings.

Smoke prefers the solace of quiet corners and hidden nooks, where it can retreat from the world and observe from a safe distance. Its movements are graceful yet purposeful, navigating the world with a gentle step that leaves minimal trace.

This shy cat's interactions are characterized by hesitance, but when approached with patience and understanding, Smoke may allow a tender touch. The amber eyes, once filled with trepidation, may soften with a glimmer of trust, revealing the gentle soul that resides within this elusive feline named Smoke.
If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application. It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.

Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption. A limited number of cats are showcased at Peetco in Sumter, SC weekly.

We do not have set adoption fees for dogs, but hope adopters will donate generously so we can rescue more. The medical care for every dog can easily exceed the adoption donation. Average adoption fees for dogs in the area range from $175 up to $450. Your generous adoption donations help us continue our programs of providing quality food and medical care to those who pass through our fosters.

We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $70 for cats who are not yet altered and $100 for cats who are already spayed or neutered, regardless of age. Please bring your own carrier for the ride home! Each cat is up to date on vaccinations, dewormer, and microchipped. Larger donations are always welcome so we can rescue more. Medical care for each cat easily exceeds the minimum donation.

As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more and funds the only Trap Neuter Return Program in the county. It's like tossing $100 bills in the woods when we trap a cat, vaccinate and spay or neuter that cat and then return them to the colony. Young kittens are tamed and available for adoption. We are alone doing this in our area. Your increased donation at the time of adoption can help us cover costs for the cat becoming part of your family as well as a feral to prevent more feral litters.

Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside.

If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating.
