I am interested in why you even considered not taking Boomer with you in the first place ?

Surely you knew you would be going home one day, did you not think about this before you adopted your cat ?

Julie (Ally Cat's Mommy) only adopted her first/second cat after considering how to transport them 'Home' when they decide to move back.

If Boomer is your pet, he should be your pet for life. he should be taken with you wherever you go.

I really hope I am wrong but judging on the amount of 'I can't' in your posts suggests that you don't want to take him with you.
