Boris Domestic Short Hair Vernon, VT

This kind old fella is ready to find the purrfect retirement home! Estimated to be between 14 and 15 years old, Boris is a happy guy who speaks his mind and provides impactful head bumps.

Since he came to FTLOA, he has been put on a diet to help him progress towards a more healthy weight. He was given a clean bill of health by our veterinarian and he is up-to-date on his vaccines. Boris is microchipped and FeLV/FIV negative.

Boris originally came from a home with small children, and he does very well with kids. While he was nervous for the first few days, he acclimated quickly and has proven to be very friendly. He is frequently found snoozing in his cat bed by the window or curled up in his blanket brought from his original home. When not napping, Boris adores playing with toys (especially at night), getting brushed, and snuggling next to you.

While Boris has been with us, he has been introduced to several cats, and he currently lives with our other senior, Wammawink. Boris has shown a preference for a female feline companion and tends to dislike other males. Being an older gent, the energy of a kitten may not be the best for him, but if they were a more gentle player and female it could be an adorable match!

Boris is scared of dogs and will not be adopted to a family with canine companionship.

While they can certainly be adopted separately, Boris and Wammawink are excellent candidates for being adopted together.
