Cat of the Month: Boomers

Meet Boomers, our February Cat of the Month! 💗 This unique 9-year-old has quite a story.

When Boomers arrived at SAFE Haven, our medical team discovered someone had tried to dye his fur pink. The dye penetrated his skin, making him a bit of a “mood kitty”—sometimes he’s more pink than others!

Boomers is full of love and personality. He needs patience, plenty of enrichment, and someone whose vibe matches his. With the right person, he’s a total lap cat and a match made in heaven. He gets along great with other cats, too! Learn more about Boomers and why he’s one of our favorite guys!
