About Matilda

Meet Matilda, the cuddly land hippo with an official cuddle contract! She recently had the chance to stay with a wonderful host family, and she’s decided that the cozy life is absolutely for her. Matilda loves curling up in warm spots, having her favorite humans close by, and indulging in loads of snuggles. However, there’s a tiny issue regarding her living situation. Apparently, some humans think they can do things besides cuddle her. The audacity! **MATILDA'S OFFICIAL CUDDLE CONTRACT:** - Cuddles 24/7, no exceptions. - One 30-minute break for lunch. - Two 15-minute breaks per day. Failure to adhere might lead to dramatic sighs and heartbreaking sad eyes from this land hippo who expects to be adored. Matilda is taking her time in a foster home while she waits for her forever family, and she’s eager for a home that respects her cuddle schedule. She craves attention, loves compliments, and truly believes there’s no such thing as too many pets. If you want a loyal companion who enjoys being at your side, Matilda is your girl! She prefers to be the only pet, wanting all the love and attention for herself. Matilda has shown fantastic compatibility with children and loves being the star of the show. Before adoption, she will be spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Since Matilda is in a foster home, she isn’t at the shelter for walk-in visits. Please reach out to Tulare County Animal Services to arrange a meet and greet with this delightful land hippo! This could be the start of something paw-some.
