With the warm weather rolling in, there is nothing like a nice Snowball in your home! Meet Snowball! Snowball is a young cat who loves to follow her people around the house as a little hall monitor to make sure you are not forgetting about her, loves being pet, and playing with herself or other cats in the home. Snowball has lived with young kids and cats in her previous home and would likely do well living in a home with them again as long as a slow introduction is set in place for everybody's comfortability. Snowball is going to be pretty nervous when coming into her new home and adjusting to her new person/s, with a lot of time and patience she will slowly but surely become your best friend. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?
