Boo Boo
When Boo Boo’s owners were evicted by their landlord, they simply abandoned the eight-year-old calico. When staff went to pick her up following a call from the landlord, they found a cowering, traumatized cat.Over the next few weeks, Kitty Garvey, who has been caring for the cats at the shelter for over nine years, tried to help Boo Boo overcome her anxiety and fears, but even Kitty’s experience and infinite patience weren’t working their usual magic this time. “She was so frightened, you couldn’t even touch her,” Kitty explains, “but when I looked into those big, beautiful eyes, I just knew there was a sweet cat inside.”
Kitty persevered to gain Boo Boo’s trust. Once Boo Boo was spayed and a little more progress had been made, Kitty finally decided it was time to try to move her to the adoption room where she was introduced to the other cats. There, Boo Boo quickly blossomed into the sweet cat that Kitty had known was there, somewhere, all along.
Not long afterwards, at the FKSPCA’s Cat Adopt-a-thon, Boo Boo caught the eye of her new owner and she is now happily settled in her forever home.
The FKSPCA is very proud of its staff, for whom “going that extra mile” for the animals in their care is just “part of the job”.
