SAFE – 04/18/15 SNOWFLAKE WAS RETURNED AFTER 7 YEARS SINCE OWNER IS MOVING BACK TO EUROPE AND CAN’T AFFORD TO TAKE HER. Snowflake lived for 7 long years with the same owner. She did live with another cat and has been around young children. Snowflake loves catnip and toys! She does have a game of jumping out an biting her owners ankles – but in general she is shy and will hide when guests come over. This girl is terrified now that she is in the shelter and was slapped with a New Hope rating. Snowflake is very unhappy about being abandoned and she has every reason to feel that way. SNOWFLAKE IS ALREADY SPAYED AND FRONT DECLAWED! PLEASE ADOPT OR FOSTER THIS GIRL TONIGHT AND GET HER OFF DEATH ROW AND INTO A NEW HOME!!
