Boris

Meet Big Boris – your ultimate couch snuggle buddy!

Boris started life as a stray, appearing quietly at the Stable for feeds and gradually becoming part of the established stable cat colony. With his slightly damaged ear — likely the result of an old fight — it was first thought he might already have been trapped and released, but as he grew more confident and affectionate it became clear he was still unneutered. He was soon neutered and vaccinated, and from that point on, Boris truly settled in.

Following a tragic accident in which another cat sadly lost their life, Boris and his feline friends were taken into the safety of a home — and Boris has never looked back. He has fully embraced indoor “house cat” life and has proven himself to be an absolute natural at it.

Boris adores creature comforts: snuggly blankets, soft cushions, and curling up beside you while you enjoy a morning coffee or read a book in the evening. He’s not especially active — though he will occasionally indulge in a laser pen or toy — and is very much a proud couch potato. Plush, relaxed, and wonderfully low-key, Boris often looks like he’s smiling, with his round, owl-like face adding to his irresistible charm.

He has the sweetest, soft little squeaky meow, which he uses very deliberately to ask for extra cuddles — especially if he feels he’s being even slightly neglected. And if polite squeaking doesn’t work, Boris has another tactic: gentle, affectionate nibbles to any available soft, fleshy part to remind you that snuggles are overdue. These are always loving, never rough, and entirely part of his endearing charm.

Boris is a gentle, affectionate soul who thrives on quiet companionship, cosy routines, and lots of physical affection. He’s looking for a loving home where his squeaks, cuddles, and couch-potato lifestyle will be fully appreciated.

Boris lives with other cats but he is bossy and would be much better as single cats. He is fully an indoor cat only or an access into a fully catproof balcony.

Boris is fully vaccinated for both tricat and rabies, microchipped, neutered, tested negative for mycoplasma and FIV/FeLV.
