About Po'Boy

Meet Po'Boy, a playful young male cat who just turned 1. Rescued last July during a heat wave in Allston, Po'Boy has blossomed as an indoor companion. Unfortunately, a recent change in finances and trouble bonding with the resident cat led to his surrender. Po'Boy is a social butterfly, always eager to greet visitors. He loves to play, especially with wands and bell balls, and enjoys hanging out in his hammock or watching the world from a cat tree. His unique bond with a stuffed platypus named Perry is heartwarming; Po'Boy carries Perry around and sometimes "gifts" him to you. While he's friendly and curious, he also appreciates his space. He previously tried to become friends with a senior cat but faced some difficulties, yet he may still be introduced successfully to another feline. Neutered, up-to-date with vaccinations, and microchipped, Po'Boy is ready for his forever home. He’s house trained and eager to find a loving family who can appreciate his playful spirit. If you're looking for a friendly companion to liven up your life, Po'Boy might be the perfect fit. Start your journey together! Apply now.
