Story
Beautiful Schnee ("Snow") is an affectionate and loving boy! He came to us via rescue, as his previous family surrendered him to a shelter due to his being DEAF. Due to his handicap, he has some misunderstood behaviors which prove difficult for some individuals to cope. Firstly, he can startle easily if he does not know that you are there. and prefers you to approach him within his direct view. He has built up a trust with us and knows that we have been compassionate, loving, and patient. He no longer does this with us. We hold him and hug him daily, and he has relaxed and has bonded with us. He is very affectionate and sweet natured, and loves making the "biscuits" in his comfy bed or on your bed as well! He will purr very loudly when you are holding him and snuggling and he will let you know when he's had enough. Also, he requires mental stimulation during the day that he takes in through his other senses. He has a small ball that lights up and flashes different colors and of course, it fascinates him! We have provided toys to him that move, have bright colors, and vibrate instead of making any noise. He very much enjoys sitting where he may stare out the window for hours, just watching birds and other wildlife in the meadow. At night, when it is dark and he does not see people walking around, he feels insecure and will howl incessantly until he sees someone. He now wears a close fitting sweater or shirt all the time, and this makes him feel more secure. He has gotten along with a small, gentle Chihuahua, but we thinks it's best that he not have a dog in his home. He has gotten along with another cat, but he startles if another cat approaches from behind and become frightened. A home with NO CHILDREN or CHILDREN that visit often (as his behaviors can be unpredictable) and low activity home is necessary. He must wear a GPS tracking collar(goodness forbid!)in case he should ever escape the house... as he would become very frightened an difficult to find. A very special home is necessary for this sweet, very special boy. He is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on all shots.
