    Boots is BACK TO STAY!!!!

    It's a long story, but I found out that Boots was not being cared for in the way I had been led to believe he would be. I found out that he was in an outdoor pen even in this winter weather!!! He was getting no socialization at all either! If you remember, Boots was a feral that I took in as a 8 month or so old kitten. He had come a long way, and was finally used to being indoors, which was what I had intended for him!!!

    Well, anyways, he was scared at first, but it didn't take him long at all to remember my home, and now he is HOME TO STAY!!!

    I'm so glad that you were able to bring him back to your home so that he can receive the proper care he deserves. He's such a cutie pie.

    It is so frustrating that even with our best efforts, not every one will take care of their pets as they lead you to believe. I am so mad at Boots' so called new parents for not simply returning him if they decided he was too much trouble. OUTSIDE!! How awful! But I am so very glad that he is back home, safe and sound!

    Poor HANDSOME Boots!! What a shame to be treated that way! No kitty should be cold!!!!
    If I am reading this correctly then you should never have to worry about that again!! I believe that is what the BACK TO STAY means. I'm glad that you will be loved again!

    You're a dear and I'm glad Boots is back where he belongs!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    Why do people get pets if they're going to put them outside like that? I know many of us here go to the extremes of loving our pets to the point of worship, but isn't that the way it should be? At least he now has a good forever home an has settled back in so nicely!

    Welcome back home Boots. Living outside in a outdoor pen was no "good life" for you. I'm so very happy that you are back where you will get the love and attention that you deserve.

    Kim,

    I just don't understand some people (see my sig about STUPID PEOPLE ) Why in the WORLD have a pet if you're just gonna put it outside in a pen.

    Poor little Boots! I'm glad that he's back with you where he belongs. Everyday I look at LilEli (semi-feral) and thank my lucky stars that he's in my life. Every once in a while I'll catch him laying in the kitty tree looking out the window at the snow and shutter to think I might never have found him after he fell out my window.

    Aren't they the best?????

    Give Boots a smoochie from me. You did the right thing.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    How sad that after all you did to bring him around, and then they treat him like that. No wonder he was scared at first. I'm so glad you found out about his mistreatment and took him back. I'm so sorry he had to experience the bad side of humans, but now at least he'll never know that side of us again.

    Please give him extra hugs and smoochies for me for quickly warming up to you again. He's a cutie.
