About Snowball

Snowball is a lovely lady weighing nearly 12 pounds, making her the perfect cuddle companion. At around 7 years old, she’s a senior who lives with diabetes but manages it well with a daily pill. Crush it in her wet food, and she takes it without a fuss. The monthly cost for her medication, Bexacat, averages about $125, but an alternative insulin injection could be discussed with a vet. Thankfully, she has already had a dental procedure while in our care, which is great news for potential adopters since those can be pricey. Volunteers describe Snowball as sweet and mellow, perfect for a quiet retirement home on the couch. Will that home be yours?
