Hello, there, I'm Boris. As you can see, I'm a pretty darned handsome Maine coon look-alike. The folks here think I'm about 5 years old. I was brought in over a year ago as a stray. I had a really rough time out in the big, bad world outdoors, so I have just now decided that people are pretty nice after all. I have surprised everyone here at the shelter by being a really nice kitty! Now that I've decided to let them in on my secret nice kitty personality, it's time for me to find a real home to live in. I don't mind other cats, as long as they are not too aggressive, and a really laid-back dog might be OK, but a home all by myself would be just fine, too! Please come and meet me today! I've been neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, treated for fleas and worms and microchipped. Adopt me for only $75 during the month of August! The Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society is located at 63 Elm St., Salisbury, 978-462-0760, or at Petsmart in Danvers on Route 114, 978-223-0023. The Salisbury location is open for adoptions on Tuesday and Wednesday, 2 to 6 p.m., Thursday and Friday, 2 to 7 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. The shelter is open by appointment only on Sunday and closed on Mondays. The Petsmart location has the same hours, with the addition of being open Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. For more information, log on to www.mrfrs.org.
