SNOWBALL – A1057561
Gone 11-23-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 11/23/15***BEAUTIFUL, SAD BUT SWEET SNOWBALL—DECLAWED ANGEL– NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Snowball is a five year old fab feline who desperately needs us to advocate for her precious life. Snowball is an all white spayed girl who came in as an owner surrender when her former owner could no longer care for Snowball and her litter mates. Snowball may need some dental work and has an aural hemotoma but despite a good prognosis, the ACC still plans to kill this precious pet when noon rolls around. That is—UNLESS you are ready to be THE SOMEBODY and offer to foster or adopt. Poor Snowball got slammed with a New Hope rating due to her fear but who can blame her for being sad and scared at the kill happy shelter? This girl is used to life as a house pet and all she needs is a second chance. Won’t you please open up your heart and home to this girl? Let a rescue know if you can help. Transportation is available. Assistance is available by contacting our PODR Help Desk. Snowball is one of 35 precious lives at risk. We are her only hope. Don’t let her down. Make the call for this beautiful, sad but sweet angel NOW!

Due to her health, owner is no lonher able to take care of Snowball and her litter mates. Owner was unable to physcially bring the cats in herself, therefore, Snowballs profile is very limited. Upon intake, Snowball did not allow handling. When an object was slid through the carrier cage to test for a reaction, she swatted and attempted to lung. Assistance was needed with transferring her. She was not handled and was sent straight to medical.
