Critter Details

  Don't be fooled: This gentle giant loves kisses and naps but also loves running after a laser pointers and feathers. Snowball is the biggest cuddly baby you'll ever meet, he loves snuggling and cuddling and being pet/brushed all over (even on his big belly!). When he wants attention, he makes it known with little "mew" and "mao" noises that'll make your heart melt. He may be on the bigger side (~17 lbs currently), but he loves to play and run around with his current foster brother. He is very mellow and doesn't mind being around other cats or humans (he even got his territorial foster brother to love him!). He loves cat tv (birds/squirrels) and regular TV and will lay and watch whatever you're watching on your phone with you (sometimes even swiping to the next video when he's bored of the current one). Originally at 18 lbs, he's losing weight as he has been on diet food and exercising regularly. He's a polite gentleman, he will not eat another cat or human's food when left by himself and will watch you and not interrupt if you are doing work, while waiting for you to be done so you can continue petting him again. This sweet baby's original owner passed away, leaving him in the care of family. This family could not take care of him, so they surrendered him to PAWS. This cat is a keeper, he's able to get along with anyone and is the best companion someone could ask for!
