Smokey

The latest addition to the New AIDS room gang, Smokey looks very much like a scruffy grey version of Tugboat.

No relation, though!

Smokey was found and brought in by an individual who has brought RAPS a number of strays over the years.



After receiving the vet check-up given to all new arrivals, Smokey was found to be FIV positive and hyperthyroid. On top of that, he's got mouth ulcers.


Even so, he's a gentle, friendly boy who is delighted to get a visit and a cuddle.



Updated March 7, 2012: Smokey left for the rainbow bridge last weekend. This sweet boy will be missed.

  1. He reminds me of Squeaks from the back courtyard, except with longer fur.
    Noisy demanding boy wanting love and out of that cage.
