Cat of the Month: Boomers

Update: Boomers found his furever home!

Thanks to everyone who liked and shared Boomers’ story. You were an imporant part in bringing him home.

 

Every month, SAFE Haven features a special cat who deserves a little extra attention. If adopted, this sweetheart will come home with you, along with a special care package!

Meet Boomers: February’s Cat of the Month (and Your Perfect Valentine)

If your ideal Valentine is handsome, affectionate, a little spicy, and very clear about boundaries, Boomers might just be your soulmate.

Boomers is a big, handsome boy with a quiet personality that sneaks up on you in the best way. At first glance, he’s calm and observant. Give him a little time, though, and you’ll discover a cat who knows exactly how to charm the right person.

His hobbies?

  • Making expert-level biscuits
  • Sitting in cardboard boxes like they were custom-made for him
  • Lying belly-up in doorways so you absolutely cannot open the door without negotiating

Classic Boomers.

When you’re his person, Boomers is all in. He’ll happily curl up in your lap, soak up rubs, and lean into those cozy moments that make winter feel warmer. He loves to play, enjoys affection, and can be incredibly sweet… but let’s be clear – Boomers is a little spicy šŸŒ¶ļø. He knows when it’s time to turn the fun on, and he also knows when it’s time for ā€œmind your business.ā€ And he will let you know. We respect a cat with communication skills.

Boomers doesn’t particularly enjoy shelter life (honestly, same), but his personality absolutely shines in a home setting. Our foster volunteers have seen him really relax, settle in, and really show off what a wonderful companion he can be. He’s just waiting for the chance to light up a home of his own, and maybe even share it with a cat friend, as he seems open to feline companionship.

This Valentine’s Day, skip the chocolates and flowers. Choose a love that makes biscuits, steals your boxes, blocks your doorways, and keeps life interesting. Boomers is ready to be someone’s perfect match.

šŸ’Œ Think Boomers might be your purrfect match? Come meet him and see if sparks fly. Your February love story could start with a purr, a lap nap, and just the right amount of spice.

Cat of the Month: Boomers

Meet Boomers, our February Cat of the Month! šŸ’— 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!

Cat of the Month: Swiffer

Cat of the Month: Swiffer

Every month, SAFE Haven features a special cat who deserves a little extra attention. If adopted, this sweetheart will come home with you, along with a special care package!

I’m Swiffer, January’s Cat of the Month. I’m a big, handsome boy with a big personality and an even bigger appreciation for boundaries. At almost 4 years old, I know what I like, what I don’t, and I’m not afraid to let you know.

I’m looking for a very specific kind of person—someone who’s cat-savvy, great at reading body language, and totally on board with living in a calm, low-key home. I’ll be great if I’m your one and only animal companion, with no other cats, dogs, or small children competing for my space. Quiet vibes only, please. I’ll be the perfect roommate, keeping to myself sometimes and hanging out at others. I’d be great company if you work from home, and might help keep you calm during stressful meetings.

I’m a chatty guy who enjoys expressing my opinions (often out loud) and loves vertical space. Cat trees, shelves, or any kind of ā€œcat decorationā€ are a must—I appreciate a home that lets me climb, perch, and survey my kingdom. Once I feel secure, I’m playful, very food-motivated, and full of charm. Once you’re approved in my book, you’re always approved. I’m not judgmental; I just need a little time before I jump on your lap.

Like everyone with anxiety, I can be a little unsure in new environments, so I need someone patient who will let me settle in at my own pace and respect where I’m at along the way. In return, you’ll get a loyal, entertaining companion with enough personality to fill your whole home. I love toys, so I’ll let you know when I want to play.

Think you might be my perfect match? I’m ready to meet my person: experienced, understanding, and ready to love a cat who knows exactly who he is. Maybe we can learn how to combat anxiety together? If you think we could, fill out an Adoption Interest Survey!
