My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Affectionate, Happy, Couch Potato

If you’re fishing for a kitty who’s friendly and easygoing, then Billy Bass is your guy! He’s a chill kitty who loves his human friends. Around people (both adults and kids), Billy Bass will ask for pets right away and leans in hard for pets and scritches. He will start purring immediately and isn’t shy about getting into laps too! When you stop petting him, Billy Bass will give you a little chirp and rub himself against you as his way of politely asking for more!

Billy Bass is more calm than he is playful. He goes bonkers for catnip, though, and when he broke into a bag he sprung into action attacking a wand toy! He enjoys exploring new spaces and sniffing around, and is a big fan of looking out the windows watching the world go by. A comfy bed or blankets by a window would make the perfect spot for him at his forever home!

Billy Bass was living with a couple of kittens for a while, whom he mostly ignored but was still very patient with while they tried to play with him. He would only give out a brief little grumble when they would play with his tail, but overall he didn’t mind his fellow kitty roommates.

You won’t hear much out of Billy Bass aside from when he meows or chirps every now and then when he wants your attention. He’s really only vocal when you’ve stopped petting him before he’s done wanting pets! He has a cute, crunchy meow that matches his cute little face perfectly!

Billy Bass’ ideal forever home is one with loving people he can hang out with often and get lots of pets from. He will be happy as long as he has a lap to lounge in and someone nearby to give him scritches!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
