About Boo
Beautiful Boo is a slinky black girl rescued from the streets with her sister Hush.
Boo is still cautious about people, but with love and patience has learned to enjoy scritches and pats, and is clearly interested in continuing to develop her relationship with people.
Boo will require an experienced or very patient and quiet home to continue to blossom into the lovely girl she is becoming.
She would benefit from being adopted with her more confident sister Hush (which could be a great solution - you get a friendly kitty right off the bat, and another one who will come around in time and learn from her confident and very endearing sister), or into a home with an existing cat friendly cat to help build her confidence for interacting with people.
The good news is that you have a powerful tool to help bring her out of her shell - this girl LOVES chasing teaser toys like 'Da Bird' and forgets herself when involved in play. Using this toy to build her confidence and establish a pattern of safe and fun interactions with humans will go a long way to bring her over the line from being a scaredy street cat to being a friendly house cat as she grows. - She is also very motivated by food - particular raw or rare chicken.
Boo is an accidental escape artist and is the cat most likely to be found looking a little confused on the wrong side of a door/gate/fence meowoing woefully to come back in. It's not like she makes a huge effort to escape, she just does things no other cats do, like hang upside down from the bottom of tree branches and shinny several meters over the shed, or fit through microscopic gaps in 'cat proof' mesh. She is so grateful to be let back in, and we always reward her with a treat to make sure she does come back home - maybe this is why she keeps getting out!
Particular care will need to be taken during her first couple of months in her new home to keep her in while she learns her new address
If adopted together with her sister Hush (https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/584455) a discount applies.
Boo is currently fostered in Watsonia.
Medical notes
Boo is happy, healthy, desexed, toilet trained and current with her vaccinations and flea and worm treatments.
