BOOTS – 8039 aka A1126027
Safe - 1-29-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 1/29/18 – 10 year old BOOTS needs a forever home this time! A volunteer writes: This lush furred quiet brown tabby was minding her own business, snoozing in her soft cushy beddy when I stopped in to say hello. She seemed to be pretty content just holding her horizontal position! Though with degrees in the 20’s, I can’t blame her for her stellar decisiveness to stay pleasantly put! “Here, Boots.” “C’mon, Boots.” “Want some nummies, Boots?” Ok, maybe not, though she did decide to at least turn around in her bed to face out and say hello. I tickled her head…and yeah–she was just intent on snoozing the afternoon away. Oh, the languor of a snuggly winter’s day! Sleepyheads Unite! Boots is your babe!

A volunteer writes: Boots is a couch potato and very calm. She loves to be petted but doesn’t want to move too much. She is a lady who wants to be waited on. I tried her with some treats which she loved, but she used her paw to bring them close to her instead of coming forward herself. She’s quite funny, really. Friendly, but not super active.
