Adoption Update: Bootsy
"This is a long overdue update on Bootsy (formerly Autumn) who I adopted from Bide Awhile in January 2013 when she was two years old.
It was love at first sight even though I was told by staff she was very independent and may never be a cuddly lap cat. While that has remained true over the last 12 years, she shows me affection daily on her terms which is all the more special; be it a furry alarm clock in the mornings, jumping up for scritches while watching tv, napping nearby while I work from home, or being a passageway chaperone for those middle of the night bathroom visits.
Her favorite activities are bird watching, sunbathing, long naps under the covers, playing the "murder mittens" game, laser tag and grooms. It's impossible to put into words the joy, happiness and comfort she has brought into my life.
Having been diagnosed with a thyroid tumor on a recent check-up and now on a restricted diet, she continues to be her chatty and playful self and I am forever grateful for every day I have with her. Thank you Bide Awhile for giving so many animals the chance at their forever homes, and truly making a difference in their lives."
