My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Do you feel an intense set of green eyes on you?

Boca is just 9 months old, but is he ever serious. You won't hear him meow and you won't know he entered the room. But he'll be close by, quietly observing. When you reach to pat his head, he'll squint, not knowing if he's about to feel pain. But when your fingers stroke his brow, his rumbling purr will begin. You've never felt how badly an animal needs you until you've met Boca.

Boca was found on someone's front steps, starving and with a bleeding paw, after his mother was killed by a car. He stayed close to his siblings and hid beneath the steps when noises and predators came close. He was the most difficult to catch, seemingly content to stay under the steps and wait to die. But his hunger at last got the best of him and he was rescued by NC PAL.




He trusts now. He won't ever be a "wrap-around-your-neck-and-wake-you-up-at-midnight" kind of guy, but he knows he needs you, and he'll always be close by.

He is neutered, microchipped, negative for FIV and FeLV, up to date on vaccines and is used to other cats and cat-friendly dogs. His adoption fee is $75 and there is always a trial period to make sure you've found a great match.
