Schnee, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Lyndonville, Vermont

Location:

Lyndonville, VT

Description:

Beautiful Schnee ("Snow") is an affectionate and loving boy! He came to us via rescue, as his previous family surrendered him to a shelter. He is totally deaf and due to his handicap, he has some misunderstood behaviors. Firstly, he startles very easily if you approach him and he does not see you. In the past, he would turn around quickly with his paws and claws extended, ready to defend himself. 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! 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 must feel isolated and he howls incessantly until he sees someone. I often have to take him into my bed and cuddle with him so he feels secure and safe. For these reasons, Schnee must remain an indoor only cat. 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 is okay with one other cat and slow, proper, introductions would be needed. A home with no children (as his behaviors can be unpredictable) and less stressful environment is necessary. He wears a collar with tracking device in case (goodness forbid!) 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.Adoption processSelective. We want the best possible scenario for the fur baby.
