About Boris

Boris and his buddy Ned make up the feline version of a classic comedy act. Boris is sharp and quick-thinking, always plotting a new adventure, while Ned, his easygoing partner, brings the laughs with toy mouse shenanigans and slapstick acrobatics you wouldn’t expect from two adult cats. When they aren’t up to their usual mischief, Boris and Ned shift gears—they become an affectionate, snuggly duo, usually curled into some creative formation on the couch, content to purr the day away. Their FeLV+ status doesn’t slow them down or dim their social streak. Boris greets new faces, both human and canine, like an old friend, and he’s always up for games if children are involved. If you’re comfortable managing their needs and want laughter and loyal company in your life, these two are a fit. While Boris and Ned can be adopted separately, they’re stronger as a pair—ready to make your home theirs. Boris currently lives in a loving foster setting in Ferndale, MI. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
