Cinderella’s Pets of the Week: Boo and Pavlova
Wed, 07/02/2025 - 5:56am
Cinderella’s cat of the week is Boo, an adorable baby black and white kitten, born in mid-April and weighing just a little over two pounds. He’s a very affectionate little fellow, who, despite his diminutive size, enjoys romping around with his siblings and the small dogs who are in foster care with him. He just loves human companionship too, and already has a reputation for being an incurable “cuddle bug” when it comes to interacting with people. His oversized ears and feet would seem to indicate that Boo will be a goodsized cat once he grows up. If you’re looking for a kitten who’s active, playful, friendly AND affectionate, this handsome fellow could be just what you’ve been looking for. He’s already neutered and ready to go to his forever home with his new person or family. There are also several other young kittens and a few adult cats available for adoption right now!
