About this Cat
Smudge is a 3 year old female cat. She is black with small white patches on her belly. About 8lbs. Visually impaired in one eye (healed corneal ulcer from when she was a kitten). She has been spayed and is up to date on all vaccines. Not chipped.
Smudge is one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. She has lived with us since she was about 12 weeks old. She is an excellent lap cat. She is quiet, cuddly, and she enjoys belly rubs. She is often underfoot, but never jumps on the kitchen counters and in general is not a big climber. She loves feathers from wand toys (sans wand), and will often play fetch with them. She is very attached to her favorite people, but gets upset when they leave the house.
Unfortunately, we have come to realize that she isn’t suited to our lifestyle. Our home life has gotten very stressful for a variety of reasons, and she is reacting to it. She exhibits some signs of separation anxiety, such as pooping on things when I (her person) am away from home. She has had this problem since we got her, but I am a busy mom with 3 teens/older kids, and this has gotten worse and is becoming a much bigger problem. She also does not tolerate young children (

Adopt Smudge and Receive Smudge's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Smudge's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Smudge receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Smudge, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Smudge's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Smudge was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Smudge’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Smudge’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Smudge’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
