Boston is a 5-year-old, red-and-white tabby domestic shorthair mix. He and his buddy (Sox) came to our shelter for the first time on Oct. 14, 2007. They found a wonderful home, but because of the economy, the family had to move in with relatives and the cats weren’t welcome. So Sox and Boston were brought back to the shelter, where they’ve been since Jan. 25, 2009.
