Photo: Marty Jones | I read about Smokey, the Coors Field Cat and got moved to write a song about him. Smokey is a ten-year denizen of Coors Field. He’s stepping away from the game and into retirement –and a forever home — thanks to the major-league heroes at Animal Rescue of the Rockies. I’m giving 50% of sales of this song to ARR, which has found homes for an astounding 10,000-plus pets since launching 20 years ago. I hope you’ll by the song, raise glass to Smokey, and adopt a pet.
You can hear it at https://martyjones.bandcamp.com/track/smokey-the-coors-field-cat
Smokey fans and animal lovers can also donate directly to ARR at https://arrcolorado.org/donate/ .
Thank you very much,

Smokey the Coors Field Cat Retires but Is Immortalized in a New Song
Marty Jones, a Denver musician and Westword contributor, released a ballad titled “Smokey the Coors Field Cat” that is sure to tug on listeners’ nostalgic heartstrings.
By Emily Ferguson, Westword
For the past decade, the fluffy black cat at Coors Field known as Smokey (or Midnight by some) has helped to keep the baseball stadium mouse-free. But after years of stewardship, it’s time for Smokey’s retirement, and Animal Rescue of the Rockies is now searching for the cat’s forever home. The story has made national news, and the ARR has more than enough applications to sort through.
The story also touched Marty Jones, a Denver musician and longtime Westword contributor, who just released a ballad titled “Smokey the Coors Field Cat” that is sure to tug on listeners’ nostalgic heartstrings.
