A hard luck case for a cat named Snow

Evacuated, then sick.. his owner found.. and lost again.. This cat needs another home.

Here's Colleen Hodges from Harris County Animal Control.


Here's Snow's story. Snow was found under a neighbors house by a woman in New Orleans. She bottle-fed him for a few days then found Hurricane Katrina at her door. She smuggled him onto a bus headed for Houston. When she got to the Astrodome at 2:00 in the morning, she turned him over to us until she could get herself settled. After hours on a bus and more hours waiting at the dome the little kitten (about 4 weeks old) was very stressed. By the time we got him to the shelter he needed fluids and some special attention. We put him into a foster home for 2 weeks until his mom was able to take him back. When she was settled we delivered him to her.

I received a call from the owner's sister last week. The owner had passed away unexpectedly and would we be able to take Snow? I went down and picked him up and we put him in the adoption program.

His little life has been one upheaval after another. He hasn't been
raised around other cats so he hasn't learned proper cat 'etiquette'
although he loves to play with others (even dogs). He needs another cat to play with. He's good with older kids but would be a little too rough for young children. He's a flame point Siamese with all the Siamese characteristics except the voice. He hardly ever says anything. If you have any friends that have a cat and are in the market for another one, please send them this way.

Hi My name is Emiy Thompson. I'm 21 years old. I already have 2 cats of my own one is four and three> They are Blue Russian, and Grey Tabby. I would Love to get another kitten or cat whatever my heart reaches out to. the only problem is I don't have a car. But I do live on my own and I would be able to bring them to there vet visits and stuff. Is there any way animal control could bring it to me if I decide to get an animal. I have a couple of other questions to. Would it be a good idea to get a kitten with two bigger cats in the house? And finally What is your advice on getting a special needs cat because thats what my heart is telling me to do. I would really appreciate anything you could tell me.

Sincerally,
Emily R. Thompson

P.S. How is Snows condition doing right now?
