The Bestest Boy Boop
Boop is a 5-year-old tan tabby with striking green eyes, a gentle demeanor, and a quietly loving soul. He may be a little shy at first and likes to take his time getting comfortable, but once he knows you, Boop becomes your calm shadow and devoted companion.
This handsome boy isn’t a lap cat and isn’t especially playful or interested in toys, but what he does love is being petted, soaking up attention, and sharing peaceful moments with his people. He happily sits right next to you, rubs his head against your forehead, and shows his affection in sweet, understated ways. When he’s content, he has the cutest little purr that says it all. Boop especially enjoys belly rubs and gentle affection.
Boop doesn’t love being picked up, though he does tolerate it. He seems to be a cat who waits to be sure people are kind before fully trusting, and once that trust is built, his affection truly shines. He is eager to please, intelligent, and has a calm, reassuring presence that makes him a wonderful companion for a quiet home.
Sadly, Boop’s previous owners moved and left him behind. Despite this, he remains gentle, patient, and full of love, ready for a fresh start with a family who will never leave him again.
Boop did test positive for FIV, but FIV-positive cats can live long, happy, healthy lives with proper care and regular vet checkups. Many live just as long as non-FIV cats and make incredible companions.
Boop is looking for a safe, loving home where he can feel secure and cherished. If you’re searching for a mellow, affectionate cat who will be by your side (not necessarily on your lap), Boop may be the perfect match for you.
One big thing about me you should know is that I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus but please don’t let that scare you away from adopting me! Click here to learn more about Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
Boop is from a stray surrender with his brothers. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
