Booker is a 7-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Shelbyville , TN, who needs $650 for Periodontal Surgery/Extractions.

We rescued Booker from our local animal shelter. We had recently lost our first all grey cat and my husband had been wanting a new grey kitty. We waited until we saw Booker. He's been a perfect fit for our rag tag band of animals. Booker shares his home with 3 other cats, two dogs, a bird, and 3 humans.

Booker is a very friendly cat, but his heart truly belongs to my husband. While he is the quietest of all the animals he will demand love with a firm bump of his head. He will crawl onto my husband's chest and sleep there for hours. He LOVES treats and will not eat any treats unless he's on his kitchen chair.

Booker has mastered the well known art of silently judging their owners. He's also known to throw a great "cat party" whenever we go out. (He always looks guilty of being up to no good lol). He loves lying in the grass in the back yard and being chased around the yard when it's time to go back in. He is such a bright light to our family.

Booker has dental disease. He is now at the point where we need to move onto to extractions to protect his overall health. He is having difficulty eating and is having secondary infections. The situation is urgent and he needs help. He is being treated at Northpoint Animal Hospital.

We are a hardworking family. Recent emergency home repairs have taken our savings. Booker is so important to our family. He is my husband's best feline friend and we want him with us as long as possible.
