Little Gray found his forever family and his new name is Little Trey!
Sandy is a handsome 1-year-old, 9-pound gray tabby with a friendly, affectionate personality that's sure to win you over. This sweet young boy loves spending time with his people and isn't shy about asking for attention. He'll happily greet you with a cheerful meow, come when he's called, and reward your affection with enthusiastic purrs, head bunts, and plenty of cuddle time.
Sandy enjoys being petted, is comfortable being picked up, and is more than happy to settle into your lap for some quality snuggle time. At just a year old, he still has the playful spirit of a youngster and will need an adopter who can keep him entertained. His favorite activities include racing through his tunnel, chasing feather wands and fishing pole toys, and celebrating a successful play session with Temptations treats or Delectable Squeezy Treats.
Sandy would do best as the only animal family member in the home, where he can soak up all of your love and attention without having to share. He'll also thrive in a home without small children, where his routines and boundaries can be respected.
If you're looking for an affectionate, playful companion who will greet you at the door, curl up in your lap, and fill your home with purrs, Sandy is ready to become your new best friend.
