About Little Boy

Meet Little Boy, a gentle six-year-old Domestic Long Hair residing in Amherst, MA. His affectionate nature and handsome black coat make this 12-pound sweetheart a standout companion. Little Boy thrives on companionship and routine. He enjoys following his people around, chatting about important cat matters, and lounging close for quality time. Firm petting, playful tussles, and even a good rump pat are some of his favorite activities. When he's ready for a break, he politely nudges your hand away and may even pull your arm back for more affection. This social boy loves food-shaped catnip toys, resting, and being part of the daily hustle and bustle. He’s confident and friendly, often enjoying the company of visitors. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. Little Boy has a history of anxiety and recently received dental care, so his new family should be ready to support his veterinary and grooming needs. His litter box habits need attention; he reliably uses his box for bowel movements but often urinates in a marking position and may spray when stressed. A calm, predictable environment is crucial for him, ideally with large litter boxes and softer litter for comfort. Little Boy requires a single-pet home as he does not get along with other cats or dogs. He would thrive with a loving person who can be at home most of the day.
