Boogie is a Mackerel Tabby kitten in Overland, MO, who needs $525 for a Cardiac Ultrasound.

We weren’t looking for third cat, but it was hard not to instantly fall in love with this little guy! We named him “Boogie” because his energy and the way he pounces makes him look like he’s dancing around the house. He has an adorable little mark on his nose that looks vaguely booger-like. We have had boogie for about 1 month now and we believe he is 3-4 months old.

We have two other cats that Boogie loves to play with and wrestle, but they all get along better when they’re feeling sleepy. Boogie loves to jump out from a hiding spot and surprise his brother and sister or pounce on them from above. Boogie loves humans, and purrs loud enough to be heard across the room when his owners lay a finger on him or even come close to him.

I am a full-time graduate student, and my boyfriend works full time at a restaurant. Unfortunately, no one in our household has received their COVID-19 stimulus check, despite filing taxes, so any support is greatly appreciated!

Vet staff ran into problems prior to neutering surgery. First, they could only feel one testicle, which would require additional abdominal surgery. They also found a heart murmur (rated 4/6) that could cause complications with anesthesia. Cardiac diagnostics are necessary to make further decisions about his health. His vets are Dr. Todd Thomas and Dr. David Burgener at Webster Groves Animal Hospital.

Boogie loves playing with plastic grocery bags because of the crinkly sound they make when he pounces on them. He also likes getting inside the bags and just sitting there. He often sleeps in funny positions too, and he especially likes sleeping with something against his back. Perhaps his favorite place to sleep is against the back of a person sleeping on their side.
