Little cared for being petty (5-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

small-minded

'being petty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'little cared' is the wordplay.
'little' becomes 'small' (synonyms).
'cared' becomes 'minded' (I've seen this before).
'small'+'minded'='SMALL-MINDED'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for small-minded that I've seen before include "Petty" , "Intolerant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
