Once, a call came to the rescue center. The voice on the line said, “There’s a cat howling over here. His paws are injured. Someone should come and take him.” So we went, picked him up, and asked the locals where he came from, but no one knew. The cat was indeed howling. The staff at the rescue center were sure he was crying from pain. But it turned out that the kitty was just asking to be fed. After eating, he calmed down. He arrived at the rescue center, devoured another bowl of food, and seemed quite content. That's how Boho came to the shelter—he was found near a café with that name.

Huge and Affectionate

Boho was examined, cleaned up, and treated. The doctors suspected he had a spinal fracture, but it turned out all his bones were intact. The diagnosis was hind limb paresis; his back legs don’t quite cooperate. An important detail: Boho is not paralyzed. He’s a very tidy kitty, so he learned to use the litter box on his own, but he struggles to lift his hind end. His diagnosis is not a death sentence; the doctors are hopeful for Boho's recovery in the future. There are many stories online of animals with similar diagnoses who have healed. Owners of kitties with paresis share valuable rehabilitation tips, exchange knowledge, and support each other.

Boho is a big and handsome cat. The staff at the rescue center call him a conqueror of hearts, and we understand why. Just look at his cute face and white collar. Plus, he is incredibly affectionate. No woman can resist him.

A Little Kindness for Boho

For cats like Boho, love and companionship are far more important than for their healthy counterparts. If he has captured your heart and you are in Sochi, come to meet him at the rescue center. Share Boho's story on social media or sponsor his advertisement—this way, more people will learn about him, and a loving owner may just be among them.
