About Mr Boots
Big, handsome, leggy and floofy... I'm Mr Boots, the Tough-As-Nails Feline Machine! I've done it all and seen it all. If I was human, I'd be a cynical private investigator rolling my eyes at the stupidity of most people. It's not my fault I have luxurious long fur that requires daily brushing, can't help being floofy. It's hard being this good looking.
For starters I'm almost 13 years old. That's around 80 in human years - and still going strong! I've been around the traps, that's for sure. Bitten by a snake? Yup. Survived without anti-venom. Got the spot on my eye to prove how ridiculously tough I am. I chew 2+ raw chicken necks for breakfast. I don't eat that poncy tinned stuff, I 'm more your raaaaaawwwwrrrr kinda bloke - in fact it's what I love and thrive on.
I had it all... until one day one of my family developed allergies that meant I needed to live outside full time and instead of that, they chose to give me this crazy cat group. I would still prefer to have access to a garden, court yard or cat proofed balcony, just not have to live outside all the time... although my last foster carer lived in the city in an apartment and I found that I was perfectly happy because she was home a lot.
Sure I can hold my own, but outside at 13 years old? I'm the tough Marlon Brando of the cat world, but these old bones are rather partial to the softer side of things that you get on the inside! Despite my tough guy exterior I loooove spending time with humans, I have an awesome purr, love the bed & couch and I kinda love being a smooched up indoor cat. I just need to be the only cat....I want all your attention!!
I think I'd do really well with lead & harness training, or a cat proofed run/backyard. I prefer to feel like my litter is dirt (my previous owner used to let me out into the backyard), so clumping litter please.
I'm currently at the vets interviewing potential humans, so I've gotten quite used to ignoring dogs and accepting pats from children. But no squealing please, it hurts my hears.
If you're looking for a chilled out, older but disgustingly healthy for their age, like one of those hippies that just keep going, then this awesome adventure buddy is looking for you. Preferably without any lurking snakes and plenty of raw chicken necks. Believe you can fill this role? Don't delay, submit an enquiry today!
Mr Boots is a healthy cat who has been wormed, flea treated, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped (microchip #978101080246866, source #RE101165). He is available for adoption right now!
