Dear Heloise: Here’s a birthday picture of our senior rescue Boots. We adopted Boots in May 2017, after his elderly owner passed away. He was 16 and could not handle being in a shelter. It took a lot of patience and time for us to get to know each other. He was not happy about having another cat living in the same house. We had a feral cat named Smokey that we brought home in 2007. Smokey was a sweetheart, but we lost her some time ago to lymphoma. She was only 13. We were heartbroken! -- Cynthia Zahorcak, via email Readers, to see Boots and our other Pet Pals, go to Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” Do you have a furry friend to share with our readers?
