Snowdrop Domestic Medium Hair Pawtucket, RI

Snowdrop is a beautiful 7 year old tuxedo cat who is looking for a special adopter to call her own. She is a sweet and endearing feline who loves cheek scratches, catnip, and bird watching. Snowdrop's foster mom reports that she has the best purrs that are incredibly soothing after a long day at work. She has a stunning medium to long-haired coat and enjoys being gently brushed. Snowdrop is currently fostering with other cats and enjoys being the queen of the house. We think she could do well as an only cat or with another independent cat who would enjoy peacefully co-existing.

Before joining Ten Lives, Snowdrop suffered an injury that resulted in the paralysis of her rear legs. After consulting with a veterinary neurologist, it was determined that this was a permanent injury that could not be fixed; however, she is not in any pain and her condition should not worsen. Despite not having use of her rear legs, Snowdrop gets around really well and is able to use a low-sided litter box. She even likes to use a vertical scratcher to work out her front legs!Recently, Snowdrop began having periodic seizures. This has been well controlled with the use of oral anti-seizure medication that is given 3x daily. Snowdrop is an excellent patient and takes it easily with an oral syringe.

We are dedicated to Snowdrop's success and want to ensure that she thrives in her adoptive home. As such, Snowdrop is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program. Please read below and submit an application if you think Snowdrop could be a great match!

Ten Lives' Foster-to-Adopt program gives potential adopters the opportunity to interact and bond with a cat in a home setting prior to making a lifelong commitment. This program is a great way to see a cat's true personality and watch how they integrate into your household. Please note, only cats listed as foster-to-adopt are eligible for this program.

How does it work?

Foster-to-Adopt applicants are approved through our normal adoption process and based on the specific needs of the cat. Once approved, you will bring home your new friend and have 30 days to determine whether they are a perfect fit for you and your family. During the 30-day foster-to-adopt period, you will be responsible for providing food and litter; however, Ten Lives will provide outstanding veterinary care at a partner veterinarian. Please note: Ten Lives will not cover care provided by a non-partner veterinarian. Please take this into consideration when submitting a foster-to-adopt application.

At the end of the 30 days, you can make the adoption official by signing an adoption agreement and paying the adoption fee or you can return the cat to the care of Ten Lives. If you wish to continue fostering until adoption, Ten Lives will list the cat for adoption on their website and social media pages!
