My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Beautiful Abandoned Kitty Snowball for Adoption !
- Affectionate, Gentle, Quiet, Loves Laps, Enjoys Being Pet

Contact dcmcats@yahoo.com

This beautiful kitty once belonged to an elderly couple but somehow got lost. A kind lady found her hanging around at a snowball stand. She saw an old sign still posted for her as a lost cat. When she contacted the couple who had owned her, she couldn’t believe what they told her! They said they had a new cat and no longer wanted her back! The lady who found her has been taking care of her as an outside kitty ever since.

Snowball is really sweet and deserving of a person and home. She has recently been in the warm garage for the cold spell and enjoys being pet and sitting on her caretaker’s lap. She likes to roll over and have you pet under her chin. Snowball also likes her head rubbed! She uses the litter box and is very well behaved inside. She is a healthy girl and her white fur is immaculately clean. Snowball has stunning expressive eyes and a lovely tabby patterned coat. She is a quiet kitty.

Snowball does like going outside, so ideally she could have access to an enclosure or supervised outside time in a safe yard. But she could be an inside only kitty with access to a window with a nice view. She can try to be an escape artist, so someone who adopts her would have to be mindful of her possibly trying to escape out.

She had been the only pet so hasn’t had experience around other cats or dogs. She would be fine being the only cat in the household, or else with another mellow cat and a slow introduction. We are looking for someone who could be patient with her as she gets familiar with a new home and person, and perhaps a cat buddy too!

Would someone like to give sweet Snowball a chance?

Please send an email to dcmcats@yahoo.com and include a little about yourself and your household, and what your typical daily and weekend schedule is like in your reply. She is located in the New Orleans area. Thank you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We do an e-mail/phone interview so we can help match you to our adoptable cats. You may also try out a cat to adopt! Adoptions are finalized with an adoption agreement. We hope to adopt our cats only to forever homes, but we will always take back a cat that is adopted from us should the adopter be unable to keep the cat due to unforeseen circumstances.

We also have cats available for fostering! Fosters fill out a questionnaire so we can help match you up.

Our adopters and fosters must be local to the Greater New Orleans area. We do not adopt out of state or transport cats out of the general area.

Go meet their pets

Hours to view our adoptable cats are by appointment and hours are flexible. Please contact us at NolasArkCats@yahoo.com Thank you for visiting our page and kitties for adoptions and/or fostering.

More about this rescue

OUR MISSION

NOLA’s Ark Cats, Inc. ("NOLA’s Ark Cats") mission is to offer services to the community of the Greater New Orleans area for the care of homeless cats and kittens. Such services include, but are not limited to: daily care and medical attention for homeless cats and kittens (including veterinary care and purchases of food and other supplies); foster and adoption options; neuter-trap-release for feral and homeless cats; and expertise and assistance to the community and to other caregivers of feral colonies. NOLA’s Ark Cats works to establish a network of animal caregivers whereby people can share ideas/information and offer assistance to each other. NOLA’s Ark Cats further aims to educate the community, and to invite participation by the community in the care of cats.

We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization, so any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Here are some ways that you can help us and our family of furry kitty critters:

Foster: Provide a temporary home to an adult or younger cat or two.

Donate: Food, scoopable litter, and comfort items (toys, blankets, crates, beds) are always needed!

Medical Care Help: We have an account with a local veterinarian, so donations can be made directly to our account for vet care, and you will know that every cent went toward the much needed care of the cats.

TNR Program: We are also looking for kind people with back yards and porches to accommodate feral and semi-feral outside cats for our Trap-Neuter-Return trapper and cat caretaker friends.

We cannot accept cats from the general public but we are happy to help with advice on how to find homes and screen potential adopters.
