Moody cat finds a home — and shelter rejoices. ‘See you only in our nightmares'

While it's not unusual for shelters to cheer whenever a long-term resident finally finds their forever home, one shelter in Indiana is particularly thrilled that a … let's just say 'moody'... feline has finally evacuated the kennel. Meet Booster — or, rather, just look at Booster from a safe distance — an orange cat with piercing olive-shaded eyes and a slight chip on his shoulder. The cat has been roaming an office at the Vanderburgh Humane Society in Evansville, until finally, a patient person stepped forward and took the moody guy under her wing, the shelter said in a May 13 Facebook post. But first, let's meet the supposed snooty menace himself. 'Well, today is a very important day. One we have been prepping Booster for. At first, there was a lot of denying, a lot of blaming others, and a lot of smacking. Booster is finally in the acceptance phase of a 'hard to adopt' cat, and he's ready to speak his truth for #NationalHonestyDay,' the shelter said in a facetious Facebook post on April 30. The shelter went on to speak from the point of the view of the tyrant: 'WHAT UP! I am Booster. Probably the most handsome cat you are ever going to see on this crummy social media page (even though I asked them NOT to post those pics!!) They captured my bad is apparently very easy. 'Look, if I am being 'HONEST,' I am a temperamental dude. I want what I want when I want it and I need an adopter that is CHILL! Sometimes I LOVE being brushed, other times I hate it. Sometimes, I love a nice pet, other times, I will swat the absolute crap out of you.' Since Booster is declawed, the swatting is all bark … but his bite is all, well, bite. 'Sometimes I will use a little love chomp that's what humans get for taking my claws?!?' Good news is, it sounds like Booster has moved into a very loving household where his grumpy nature shines. 'We tricked, we mean found, the most incredible adopter for him! His new mom is patient, kind and understanding(we don't get it, but okay),' the shelter excitedly updated. 'Booster has spent the last week in his new home adjusting to his new dog sibling and is even letting his mom pet him longer without looking like he is going to bite. 'See you only in our nightmares now, Boosty!' While the shelter jokes, it really does seem like the staff was happy-sad to see him go. 'In all seriousness, we are elated for Booster,' the shelter said. For information on other adoptable pets, visit the shelter's website. Evansville is about a 175-mile drive southwest from Indianapolis.
