About Pony Boy

Pony Boy is a striking orange tabby with a personality to match. Originally abandoned in a nearby park, he found a companion in Zane, and they quickly formed a deep bond. Pony Boy is still learning to trust humans due to his past but, once he does, he reveals a sweet and affectionate side. While he enjoys playtime and is quite active, he does sometimes get a bit rowdy. Pony Boy does not do well with children due to his tendency to swat when feeling overwhelmed. He gets along with other cats but can be a bit selective with new feline friends. It's important to know that he might be a little shy upon first meeting, but he warms up quickly. Adoption requires filling out a questionnaire, and the process operates on a first-come, best-match basis. Given his sensitivity, it’s encouraged to introduce all household members, including children, to ensure a good fit.
