Milwaukee Record is working in partnership with Urban Cat Coalition to help find loving homes for area cats. Each week, we—with generous sponsorship from Skilos, A Family Pet Store—plan to highlight a feline friend that’s currently up for adoption by naming it “Milwaukee Record’s Cat Of The Week.” This week: a sweet and quirky little guy called Boris.

Meet Boris! Boris is a sweet, quirky little guy with a soft spot for morning snuggles—especially when breakfast is involved. While he’s a cat of few meows, he makes up for it with adorable chirps that sound like tiny bird calls. He loves to curl up on the back of the couch for long naps or tuck himself under the desk while his person works. At night, he might even claim the pillow next to you, snuggling up just close enough to feel safe.

Boris is playful and enjoys chasing after his favorite ball-in-track toy, as well as romping around with the resident cat. Though he has a big heart, he’s also a shy soul. Strangers send him into hiding, and he prefers to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being picked up. He has strong opinions about scratch posts (namely, that all furniture is fair game) and needs a little extra help from meds when it’s time for a vet visit.

The perfect home for Boris would be a quiet one, ideally with a patient and understanding person who will let him set the pace. He would do best in a kid-free environment where he can build trust at his own speed. Once he does, he’ll reward you with slow, stretching approaches for head pets and the softest little chirps you’ve ever heard.
