Boba - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tiny Boba is the ultimate social butterfly. She loves other cats, dogs, kids of all ages, the plumber, delivery drivers, the chipmunk outside and everyone else she comes across.

Boba's happy place is bouncing around saying hi and getting scritches. She enthusiastically joins every zoom meeting you are on to meet those people too. She is a slight little thing who loves mealtimes and crunchy treats.

She is vocal and loves to tell you all about the new friends she's made and helpfully remind you that it might be dinner time in the next few hours. She is a bundle of energy and loves to chase wand toys and anything with feathers attached. At the same time, she is so gentle and loves to be picked up and carried around like a baby. In her down time, she is a big fan of sunny windows where she can happily chat to birds and fireflies.

Boba has shown some wobbliness over her time with PAWS, but this is mild. It mostly manifests as clumsiness- she's quite likely to fall over in hilarious and adorable ways that are not really a risk to her. She doesn't do well with uneven surfaces (like climbing on you) but happily runs around on flat surfaces. She has no problems with stairs or jumping. She has the grace and elegance of a herd of elephants, but is very cute with it. She happily uses a litterbox with no problems.

Boba will thrive in all types of homes with all types of people. She's so easy-going and fun: everyone is her next best friend, whether it's a bunch of kids playing games, a grumpy old dog or just an adult who wants to chat with her at the end of the day. She wins everyone over with her sunny nature. If you have a little space in your home, she'll fill it up!
