My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Date of Birth: 8/27/23
Adoption Fee: $100.00
Date Posted: 9/16/24

Hi! My name is Boots. My foster mom thinks that if I could talk I would say, "I wanna hold your hand...and...and". You know? Just like in the song by the infamous Beatles. She was trying so hard to take a picture but all I wanted to do was stay close touching my paw to her hand so that she would continue to pet me. Foster mom is really amazed at how trusting and loving I am even though I have had a pretty rough start in life. I was found on the side of the road when I was a tiny baby kitten. The person who found me took me inside a bar, held me in the air, and yelled out asking who wanted a kitten. The person who took me that day didn't know a lot about what a tiny baby needs. He never took me to the vet for vaccines or any of that other stuff that kittens need. We were living in a dingy basement together but I was mostly alone because he slept a lot and didn't really want to play or cuddle with me. Just a little while ago, we found out we were being kicked out of our basement. I thought this was bad but has turned out to be really awesome! I was placed in a foster home where I got great food, clean litter boxes, LOTS OF PETS, and even feline friends to keep me company and play with me. I was a little nervous for the first few days because everything was so different from before. It didn't take me long to realize I was in a great place! I started to enjoy playing with a girl almost my same age. We chased each other and played with the toys together. There were little kittens in the room too; I was so gentle. I had never been around little ones but I knew that I had to be careful with them. I started coming over to my foster mom as soon as she walked in the room rubbing against her and giving her head butts to express my appreciation for chin scratches and back rubs. My foster mom wants me to find a really wonderful home where I will be part of the family and never sent to the basement again. I am a playful, happy boy who just wants to be loved and give love. Nothing can take away my spark because I know life is good! I look forward to meeting you!

More about this rescue

Pippi’s Place Pet Rescue is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted cats and kittens through the support of local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs as well as placement of available felines in permanent homes.

We will rescue animals who are homeless due to owner surrender, endangered due to abandonment/neglect/abuse, and those at risk of being euthanized at area shelters.

We will place feline companions in loving homes following a comprehensive screening process which includes ensuring a good match between the animal and prospective adopter as well as educating potential adopters about the responsibilities associated with bringing a cat into their home.

All cats and kittens will be spayed or neutered, receive appropriate veterinary care including any necessary treatment, and will be placed in caring foster homes until the time of adoption.

We will work closely with local shelters and other rescue organizations to promote the importance of spaying/neutering companion animals. We will work with these agencies to develop a network of supporters and volunteers so that we may create a better world for homeless animals.
