Meet the real Boopers

Boopers was the absolute best, bad cat. She was born in Whiteville, North Carolina, in the summer of 2000. She was adopted almost immediately by Sadie. Boopers lived the next twenty years as Sadie’s best friend and beloved companion, as well as the arch nemesis of almost everyone else she met.
