Hobo Bo's Story

Last year, a Facebook post alerted the community to a sick and injured cat behind a local Dunkin. He had an ear tip, meaning he was part of a managed colony, but not one of ours. Out of respect, we waited—because when you care for a colony, you know and love each cat, and sometimes treatment is already underway.<br/><br/>When no one came forward, we reached out to the good Samaritan who posted for help. Thanks to her persistence, we were able to connect with Hobo Bo's caretaker—a kind woman who feeds many cats in the area. With her blessing, we retrapped this big, golden boy and got him the vet care he desperately needed. <br/><br/>We learned that Hobo Bo (also known as Big Yellow) is FIV+ and likely suffering facial injuries from fights. It can take time for neutered tomcats to adjust, but despite his rough appearance, he's shown us just how incredibly sweet he is. He has quite the personality! He LOVES to play with toys, and he will come up to you for petting and then dash away when you reach for him. He also likes to follow you around when he has "playtime" outside his crate. His eye and face wounds are now healed. He's been in foster care much longer than expected because the habitat he came from was destroyed for construction, so releasing him there is no longer an option. <br/><br/>Hobo Bo now has a real chance at a better life, but keeping him in a crate long-term isn't a good life for him. Instead of going back to the streets, we'd love to find him a forever home where he can be cherished as much as he deserves.<br/><br/>Interested in opening your heart to Hobo Bo?
