Smokey, the aging feline that called Coors Field home, has officially entered retirement and “chosen the position of lead-off catter in a nice Denver home,” the cat’s caretaker announced Friday.
Smokey’s new adopter wants to remain incognito, although Animal Rescue of the Rockies, which brokered Smokey’s adoption, said the request for privacy showed that Smokey wasn’t being adopted for the wrong reasons. Animal Rescue of the Rockies released the following statement Friday, purportedly dictated by Smokey himself: “I, Smokey the cat, would like to thank everyone for the well wishes… I feel like I’ve hit a home run. I would like to thank the Animal Rescue of the Rockies for placing me in a local home instead of trading me somewhere else, like to the St Louis Cardinals.
Those 16 applicants were whittled down to two people who visited Smokey at his temporary caretaker’s home and then Leigh conducted a final visit with the lucky recipient deemed worthy to scoop the litter of Coors Field’s finest resident. “We’ve gotten some hate for relocating a feral cat, because it’s truly not normal, but nothing about Smokey’s life has been normal and we’re very confident he will be safe and happy in his adoptive home,” Leigh said. “He has already been enjoying the soft beds, sunny windows and toys at his caretaker’s home since she removed him from Coors Field.”
