My story

Swish was discovered on a rainy night, abandoned in a locked carrier behind a dumpster - terribly emaciated, frightened, and in visible pain. While many kitties may find it hard to trust humans again after this traumatic experience, Swish radiates forgiveness, sweetness, friendship, and playfulness. He simply longs for a forever family to love. He soaks up attention with silly summersaults and dramatic rolls, often so enthusiastically that he tumbles right off whatever he’s perched on. He loves to have his belly scratched, will carry toys to you when he wants to play and is excellent at eating his breakfast, lunch and dinner (he is still catching up on missed meals!). While he doesn’t quite understand how to be held for long periods yet, Swish will let you know with deep, resonant purring and soft head nudging that his Heaven is curling up next to someone for a long nap. This might just be the gentlest, loving and handsome kitty you ever did meet. Swish is great with all people. He does not get along with other animals (cats or dogs) and would do best as the only pet in his new family. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is fully litter trained and his vets at Richmond Animal Hospital have made the following statements about Swish: “We love Swish. Everyone in this office wishes we could adopt Swish for ourselves. Unfortunately, we all have dogs” “He is a very brave boy” “He has the face of an angel” Swish has one wish, and it's to find his forever family that will give him all the love he deserves. He is currently being fostered/cared for by a loving family in Vergennes VT. Please email ericanet@gmavt.net if you are interested in adopting this sweet boy!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Swish, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
