Abandoned K-Mart Kitty Finds New Home
Skeezix the Cat

No, he wasn’t a blue light special. In Willow Street, Pennsylvania this week, an orange tabby was abandoned in a carrier in a K-Mart bathroom. He was found along with note from a girl named Elsie, that said that she said her family was moving and she wasn’t allowed to keep the cat, whose name was Boo Boo. Elsie thought the store would be a good place for the cat to keep warm.

Fortunately for Boo Boo, Joyce Eshelman, a cat-loving store manager, quickly adopted him. “I called my husband and I said, ‘You got to come look at him. He’s beautiful,’ and he did and we decided to take him and hopefully everything will work out,” she said.

A vet gave Boo Boo a clean bill of health, and he is happily settled in to his new home.

    That poor child who was only trying to do the best for her cat–what a lovely cat. One wonders about the parents.

    Yay! I love happy stories like this!

    I’m sure Boo Boo will be happy in his new home! :)

    I feel bitterly sad for young Elsie. What a rough duty to give to a child.

    that poor girl, i’d hate to have give up my cats. :’( at least instead of dumping the poor, confused beauty, she took him where he was guaranteed to be found and stay warm.

    How sad for Elsie. That must have been so difficult for her, and I hope somehow she knows that Boo Boo has a wonderful new home. Thanks to that kitty loving manager for helping out Boo Boo!

    We hope Elsie sees this story one day so she knows her dear Boo Boo is safe.
