More about Boots 'A' Doots

REDUCED ADOPTION FEE OF $50! .Boots is a handsome boy with a gentle, sensitive nature, and an adorable personality. He is pure love and joy. Just beyond his initial shyness is a social, affectionate boy who loves to be held and pet by his favorite humans. During his time in foster care, he has made tremendous progress, which has been remarkable to experience. It’s been such a joy to watch his confidence grow, and he just keeps getting more comfortable.The key to his full expression of personality was the couch! In this safe place, right next to his people, he can’t get enough love and pets. He spends his time there with you in various cozy positions of repose, purring, making biscuits, and curling up for a nap. He loves to be held close to your chest or on his back like the sweet baby he is.This sweet boy isn’t all just pets and purrs — he has a fun, playful side, too! He loves chasing a wand toy, batting a stuffed mouse around, and running after a toy you toss across the room. When he plays, he chirps and chortles in the cutest way, and he’s quite the little talker, especially when he hasn’t seen you in a while. His meow is soft and sometimes just a tiny whisper (a whisper meow!), which makes him all the more endearing.Boots is FIV-positive, which means his immune system is somewhat weakened. He doesn’t need any special daily care, but if he ever becomes sick, he should see a vet promptly so minor issues don’t turn into bigger ones. FIV-positive cats can live long, healthy lives, especially in a stable indoor home. They can also live with other cats as long as they are spayed/neutered and do not seriously fight to cause deep wounds.Boots would thrive in a calm, patient household that understands sensitive cats and gives him time to build trust. While he may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment, once he does, he will reward you with affection, playful antics, and sweet companionship. He can still be a little hard to “catch” for pets or to pick up, especially until he feels comfortable, but if you give him a little time, he will come to you for love. Boots has come so far already, and in the right home, he will truly be the perfect, loving companion he’s shown himself to be in foster care.He is waiting to meet you in his foster home, because the noisy adoption events stress him out so apply to adopt to schedule a meet and greet.  All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.
