Boots, an 11-year-old Chicago-area cat, is headed to her new home in a no-kill shelter. Her life was spared thanks to a probate judge last week.
Boots’ owner, Georgia Lee Dvorak, died recently. In her 1988 will, she stipulated that any cat or cats she owned at the time of her death be euthanized. According to a neighbor, Boots may have been abused by her former owner, and Dvorak was worried that her pets might fall into abusive hands after she died.
A Cook County probate judge spared Boots’ life after the executors of the woman’s will asked the judge to set aside the provision. Boots is now living at Cats are Purrsons Too, a no-kill shelter. Source: Chicago Tribune
