Boo-Boo

Hello, my name is Boo-Boo. My animal id is #256458. I am a male tabby kitten at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 6/6/2026.

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Boo-Boo is on the at risk list for medical reasons. Boo-boo is an emaciated kitten with a URI and conjunctivitis that is not gaining weight appropriately in shelter. He needs more care and attention than can be provided in shelter, including frequent feedings to encourage and ensure he is eating well, cleaning, medication administration, etc. Behaviorally, he is very sweet and amenable to all handling.

Meet Boo-Boo! This young little kitten came to us as a stray, so we don't have much information. Boo-Boo needs some additional care that we are unable to provide in a shelter setting. While with us, Boo-Boo has been very sweet and allowed all handling from staff for feedings and cleaning. Boo-Boo needs placement with a rescue partner where they can receive additional care and attention.
