Wanted: One Good Lap

When you were little and you had a booboo, someone could kiss it and make it all better, right? Did you know it works for cats, too? A little love can cure anything, and I've got the cat to prove it!

When BooBoo was brought to Cats Exclusive, he was a stray that a nice woman rescued and brought in to get neutered... and attention for tail. Well, for where his tail used to be. The poor thing was in a lot of pain, and just had a big booboo where his tail should be.

The amazing and caring people at Cats Exclusive's clinic helped BooBoo to get better (but not before having to remove even more of what should his tail to make him better again), and they say that no matter how much pain he was in, BooBoo was always affectionate and gentle.

No one will ever know exactly what happened to BooBoo, but regardless, it's like he knew and appreciated all the help he was getting from people who actually cared. Here was a stray who once had to fend for himself, who was now getting all the special attention -- and he was loving it.

That was two years ago. BooBoo is turning five now, and has lived at Cats Exclusive ever since then. He isn't really one for other cats; he much prefers keeping to himself by the reception desk and hanging out with the people there than with other cats. Most of his time is spent in people's laps or close enough to snoopervise the office work.

He may have no tail, but he has lots of love. He has a few things making it harder for him to get adopted: He is black and he prefers not to be around other cats... and that whole no-tail thing, of course. But if you want a lap cat who wants nothing more than to be with YOU all the time, BooBoo is your man.

BooBoo is at Cats Exclusive in Margate, FL and here is his Petfinder page so you can see more info and what you can do to adopt him. Please share this post and help Be the Change for Pets. This handsome man deserves the perfect home!

Note from Cute: Wow, BooBoo was a difficult cat to photograph, what with his tendency to just want lounge on your lap and burrow his head into your body... and away from the camera. But, as usual, Sonju Photography did a fabulous job!She is a cat person like me (only maybe a little less crazy, hehe), and volunteered her time, her camera and her love to help get these gorgeous photos to help get some less adoptable cats a home! THANK YOU!

  1. It just breaks the heart to be reminded that not all pets get to live in loving homes but have to brave the harshness of the streets or in homes with abuse. This sweet affectionate boy proves that you are not your past.

    Sending warm thoughts for BooBoo to find that special loving home!

  2. Ah, BooBoo is such a great kitty! I sure do wish he would finally get his Forever home. He so deserves it!

  3. BooBoo sure is cute and should have a home of his own. Sounds like he could bring a lot of love to someone and Black cats are the very best of all. Two live here and they are such great cats.
    Have a great weekend.

  4. I happen to love black cats. I once had 17 cats and 12 of them were black.

    I wish I could give BooBoo a home...

    Abby had something to say about finding homes for shelter pets today.

  7. What a beautiful kitty. Poor guy. I'm sure he has lots of love to give if someone will only give him a chance.
