TOMMY BOY (February 10, 2011 – June 19, 2024)

Domestic shorthair, male
Color: Orange tabby with white
Size: Medium
Age: Senior

When Tommy Boy first came to us in February of 2017, this incredible boy was a feral stray whose owner had passed away. But our staff and volunteers never give up! Gradually a few of them made friends with him, for Tommy Boy was very picky about his friends! But he made an exception for one very special volunteer who dedicated many hours of one-on-one time and love given to socialize Tommy Boy.

He started out in the Pole Barn, and was joined by the “Pole Barn Nine”, a group of semi-feral to feral cats rescued from an unfortunate situation. After a year or so, Tommy took up residence in his own little home surrounded by a secure fence. And just a few years ago, he joined two other cats in A3, our adult upstairs kitty playroom.

But all good things must eventually come to an end. Tommy Boy was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. Diagnosed as untreatable, our Tommy Boy spent his last few weeks surrounded by the people he loved and who loved him. And on June 19, 2024, Tommy Boy began his journey from his own playroom to the Rainbow Bridge. We will all miss him and he will be forever in our hearts.
