About Boba

Meet Boba, a sweet boy who needs a forever home. Rescued from the streets, he showed such friendliness that he qualified as adoptable instead of being part of a stray program. About two years old, Boba takes a moment to trust new people, but once he feels secure, he's a total lovebug who purrs happily and enjoys being petted. This charming black kitty is FIV positive, which means he needs some understanding from potential adopters. The good news is that FIV does not diminish his quality of life. With proper care and a safe home, he can live just as long and happily as any other cat. Boba can even live alongside FIV-negative kitties without concern, especially since he has been neutered. He comes fully vetted, including vaccinations and a microchip, and he’s house trained. Boba just wants a chance to show his love, despite some misconceptions that might make him harder to adopt. He even comes with a cozy cat bed! Can you be the one to give him the home he deserves? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
