Rescue:

In a small town, north of the sanctuary, a husband and wife had been living a quiet life and
took in five friendly, homeless cats. They loved them all and treated them well, but were
concerned about creating a larger colony if they could not get them fixed soon. Most rural
areas do not have low-cost clinics to support the overpopulation of cats, and the cost per
cat at the local vet was not within their budget. However, they did manage to have the male
cat neutered. As luck would have it, one of the females became pregnant from a stray
Tom that was hanging around the property at the time.Three kittens were born to this one
mama: Bootsie, Buddy and Bonita. The wife called a local, but very small cat rescue and
mentioned that she wasn’t feeling very well and wanted to make sure places for the cats
could be found soon. When the rescue came to the house to pick up this little feline trio,
the wife was in the hospital and not ten days later, she passed away from cancer. Her
husband was definitely heartbroken. The adult cats were fine where they were, but he did
want them to find good homes soon. It was too much for him to look after them all on his
own, and now down to a single income.

Personality:

Bootsy is a very sweet, curious, independent boy who’s always looking to have some fun.
He likes to chase anything that moves, but especially the fishy wand toy, cat dancer and
the laser pointer. He quickly settled into his foster home, and can be a bit chatty, letting us
know when he wants some food or attention. He doesn’t mind being picked up and carried
around, but there’s so much to discover, he doesn’t like to stay long. After a long day of
playing, he loves to curl up in between your legs in bed for a good night’s sleep. Bootsy
would do best with another cat to play with to get all his energy out and provide you with
hours of entertainment. He is ready to be adopted into his forever home. One that will
welcome him into the family and keep him safely indoors.
