BOOTS is a 15-year-old Tuxedo Cat in Fairbanks , AK, who needs $2,000 for tumor removal surgery.

This adorable little boy is Boots but he also goes by Piglet. He was born 15 years ago in a high-school pig pen in California. He has always been a shy guy and preferred indoors but up until 3 years ago he packed his bags and ventured to Alaska! Where he lives happily and comfortable here in fairbanks.

Boots has two loving parents and one baby sister named pumpkin. She's a calico cat who's 13 years younger than him. Even though there's an age gap Boots always takes time to take care of his sister. They love to nap together. When family drops by for a visit he's shyness gets the better of him and hides, although he won't hide long because he loves head rubs and food.

This unexpected medical bill has been hard and concerning. Covid has been hard to find a job and our income is very limited. All we want is Boots to have a chance at the longest, happiest life possible.

Boots has unfortunately been diagnosed with a tumor on his intestines requiring surgery to remove it. It has created a blockage, causing constipation and forcing him to not eat due to being unable to pass his food. He has lost half his body weight. He's has gotten really skinny and walking has been a strain. The amazing staff at Chena Vet Clinic are doing everything they can to help our boy.

Boots favorite activities involve sun bathing on his back, making a nest in the hallway with any peice of clothing that he can get his paws on, and being a personal alarm clock every morning at 7am on the dot, to wake up his parents by tapping or licking their faces. Also whenever a bubble is blown and floating around, Boots will stop at nothing to pop it ☺
