About Little Boy

Meet Little Boy! This affectionate six-year-old Domestic Long Hair, residing in Amherst, MA, is a gentle giant who weighs about 12 pounds and has a striking black coat. Little Boy isn’t just a pretty face; he’s the kind of cat who wants to be right in the heart of daily life. He thrives on attention and enjoys a consistent routine, always following his people around, sharing his thoughts on important cat topics, and settling in nearby for quality time. With a knack for firm petting, playful tussles, and those delightful rump pats, he knows how to encourage affection. When he’s had enough love, he politely nudges a hand away, or, if you end the cuddles too soon, he might just pull you back in for more! Little Boy is social and delights in his food-shaped catnip toys, ropes, and even hair ties. He takes his role as a dinner guest seriously, often sitting at the table like he belongs there. While this charming fellow is playful and friendly, he has a history of anxiety. After receiving dental care, he’s ready for a calm and stable environment where he can thrive. Little Boy needs to be the only pet in the household. His litter box habits—while generally reliable—require large boxes and careful cleaning to manage occasional marking behavior triggered by stress. Ideally, a pet owner who is home most of the day, like someone retired or working from home, would be perfect for this people-loving boy. Could this talkative, affectionate gentleman be your new companion? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
