Story
Snowy has endured a blizzard of changes to her life recently, but her loving and affectionate demeanor have remained in tact! She was taken in by the daughter of her previous owner, but needed to be surrendered to PAWS a few months later due to the stress of that home (they had their own cats and dogs, and she was not a fan) and some other medical issues that her new family will need to keep up on. This gorgeous gal is your perfectly petite cuddlebug, a low key and mellow companion who still has plenty of pep in her toebean steps when the mood strikes, but will need a very special home for her next stop on this crazy blue orb and is not available for a traditional adoption (more on that below). Snowy is currently on a special diet for urinary issues to help prevent blockages. She had issues using the litter box in her last home, some of which may be due to the stress from the other animals and being in an unfamiliar place, but also can be attributed to crystals/bladder stones. While being sedated for an exam, Snowy had a difficult time waking up and therefore is also not a candidate for a cystotomy due to the risks of her reactions to the anesthesia. Along with all that, she was diagnosed with a Grade 4/6 heart murmur with an accompanying hyperthropic cardiomyopathy (the muscle around her heart is thicker than normal). All of this adds up to Snowy needing an experienced owner who can offer her a low stress and attentive home, keeping her on the special diet and bringing her into their own vet for for regular checkups. We are looking to get Snowy into a home via a foster-to-adopt situation so that she has time to settle in and continue getting the care she needs. Our staff is happy to answer any additional questions about her! Age: ~9 years old How I came to PAWS: Owner Surrender Animal ID#: A54108 Location: I am currently in a foster home!
