Hi, Glacier! Definitely adopt Boots! It sounds like he has already chosen you the way he was following you around and wanting your attention. Sounds like a sweetie. I believe that our pets choose us and it appears that Boots has chosen you. A few months is a long time for a kitty to be in a shelter. You're right, no kitty will ever replace Dominique because each kitty has their own personality. And you already know he gets along well with other cats. This one is a sure thing. Hope to see some pictures and hear that Boots has found a loving home.....
