About Bootsie

Bootsie is a charming little guy who adores cuddles and playtime. He's deeply affectionate, not just with people but also with his brother Boots. These two are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Bootsie is notable for his polydactyl features, sporting six toes on each front paw and four on each back. Discovered in the Sea Breeze neighborhood of East Irondequoit, this brave kitten duo was once reliant on local residents for food after appearing outdoors. Luckily, they were rescued and brought indoors, where they've been thriving in foster care for over a month. Bootsie is now neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a loving forever home. However, they both need a pet-free environment, as they were frightened by larger animals while outside. Expect plenty of fun, exploration, and cuddles from these adorable brothers.
