One of his most endearing traits is the way he interacts with a comfortable bed - when he lays down, he literally melts right into the comfort of it!

Meet LaBooBoo!
LaBooBoo is a stunning, petite tortoiseshell kitty who is amazing in so many ways. Though she may be tiny, her capacity for love is absolutely enormous. She adores being held, petted, and doted on, and will happily wrap herself in your arms while purring up a storm and making "happy biscuits."
A Real-Life Super-Mom:Please roll out the red carpet for this resilient girl, because her story is truly special. LaBooBoo originally came to us from a multi-cat household on one of the reservations we partner with. After tragically losing her own single kitten, she was heartbroken. Around the same time, another mother cat in the home gave birth to three kittens but wasn't producing milk.

HISTORY: SABI SABI came to F&F as a stray from a colony in Santa Fe and was found to be FIV+. However, as is typical with many FIV+ cats, this cat has no symptoms, is expected to be in good health and expected to live a normal lifespan. While conventional thinking is to only place an FIV+ cat in a home with no other cats or with another FIV+ cat, there are many “mixed households.” According to Cornell University, the primary mode of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) transmission is through repeated fights resulting in the exchange of blood, and it poses no threat to humans or other species. TEMPERAMENT: Named after the beautiful game preserve in Kruger National Park due to his sand colored fur, SABI SABI is a handsome boy who would enjoy going to a quiet home where he can lay by a window, and enjoy the love and affection of his people. In West African Pidgin English, "Sabi" means to know, to understand, or to be deeply skilled or knowledgeable. SABI SABI is a sweet cat who is certain to make your house a home.
