This small Manx cat has striking black-and-white (tuxedo) medium-length fur, is male, and only around 6 months old. He has been neutered, and his vaccinations are up to date. Snoopy is not house trained due to incontinence, so he will need special care. He is currently being cared for at Central Coast SPCA.

About Snoopy

Your new best friend is just one click away. Snoopy is a 6-month-old, black-and-white medium-haired male Manx with the softest fur and a distinctive tailless look. Though a bit smaller than most kittens his age, he more than makes up for it with incredible personality and abundant affection. As a Cancer sun sign, Snoopy is especially loving and loyal—Cancers are famously nurturing! Snoopy is incontinent—both bladder and bowel—so he requires express assistance several times a day. The process is straightforward, and although Snoopy may squirm a bit, he is always gentle, never distressed, and often tries to use the litter box himself. Aside from this, he is healthy and an absolute sweetheart: he purrs instantly, gives kisses, thrives on cuddles, and loves every moment of attention. His playful antics and chatter bring endless joy to those around him. He needs a home with patience, compassion, and an open heart for a cat who is a little different. Snoopy is searching for someone who loves special cats, is willing to learn, and won’t let his incontinence be a dealbreaker. With the right care, he will shower his person with love every single day. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
