Schmooze is a chill guy, with a love for kisses and snuggles.  He's probably the most laid back kitten we've seen in awhile.  He is the best cuddler and just loves to be loved.  He enjoys chin scratches, kisses on his head and cheeks, and belly rubs.  There's really no place that he doesn't like to be pet.  He is a politely chatty guy with a cute little meow, which he uses to let you know when he needs your attention.

Schmooze also has a fun, playful side.  He enjoys toys and loves to chase his fellow fosters.  His favorite toys are wand toys and springs that he can chase.  Laser pointers are also great fun.  He likes to spend time high up in his cat tree, perched by a window where he can watch the world go by.  Naps in the sunshine are great, but nothing comes close to how much he loves to curl up in your arms for a nice nap.  He has a great purr, especially when you hold him like a baby and rub the bridge of his nose.  Something about it makes him fall right asleep.  

Schmooze was found wandering alone in someone's backyard.  We're not sure as to the fate of the rest of his family.  All we know is that he was very scared to be all by himself.  He really likes to be where his people are and doesn't really like to be alone.  Because of that, he would do best in a home with another kitty that he can snuggle and play with.  He gets along great with other cats and although he hasn't interacted with any dogs, his demeanor tells us that he would probably do just fine with a doggy friend.  He does great with kids of any age and would make an amazing addition to any family.  Can he join yours??

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Schmooze would do good with a friend, including:

   - Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

   - Having two kittens to play with each other prevents potential "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

   - Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

   - The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

   - You'll save two lives instead of one!
