Adoptable Cutie of the Week: Boris the Famous Cat

May 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Boris SmallWe have a very special Adoptable Cutie of the Week today: Boris the Famous Cat. He is desperately in need of a new home. He’s not a shelter cat, but is in private hands, so to speak. Here’s some info about him:

Like many Brooklynites, Boris is originally a Manhattan transplant, but has been in the borough for the past 10 years. His mom had to move overseas earlier this month, and because it was too tough to take Boris with her, she found him a surrogate mom. The problem? His new owner has realized her life isn’t suited toward taking care of a cat, and wants to get rid of Boris by this coming Wednesday, June 3.

There are so many things to love about this guy: he’s big, smart, playful, and completely devoted to whoever cares for him. He’s also famous–he appeared once in the Times, and the effects of this new-found fame formed the subject of the video that can be found here.

To learn more about this gorgeous boy, email boristhefamouscat@gmail.com, or forward this on to anyone you know who can adopt him.

    cats are only slightly more difficult to care for than goldfish, but they are a commitment. c’mon people! don’t adopt or otherwise assume responsibility of an animal unless you understand COMPLETELY the kind of commitment involved. you are doing the animal a HUGE disservice by passing them on after you realize you can’t handle it. i saw it all the time at the AC&C when i volunteered there, and it’s incredibly sad to see how many animals are abandoned by their owners who didn’t think it through first. it’s a life time commitment. if you’re not willing to commit to that, then don’t adopt!
