Snickers Mini
Despite my name, I am not a candy bar, nor am I mini-sized. I weigh 11.3 pounds, which is a smidge too much, and I am nearly 9-years-old. But I do have a very pretty face and a luxurious brown, black, and white medium-length coat. I have lived with my current owner for 4 years, but he surrendered me to the HSHC on June 16 due to a lack of commitment. You see, we just found out that I am a diabetic. My owner tried changing my diet and stress levels in the home, but could not afford the veterinarian program. The HSHC found that I am in diabetic remission, which means I no longer need daily checks of my blood sugar. I eat Fancy Feast Classics, which are known to help control diabetes. The HSHC staff can explain everything I need to keep my diabetes under control. When the interviewer lady (IL) opened my apartment door, I came up close to her face for a head butt. I then stood on her legs so she could pet me all over. Even my owner, who no longer wants me, told the HSHC staff that I am very affectionate and calm. I like to sit on your feet or lap. If I get scared, I will hide, usually under the bed or the couch. I am not a very active gal, and I don't get excited about toys. I do love some catnip! I prefer wet food, but I'll eat the dry stuff. Please try not to restrain me; I hate being held against my will. I lived successfully with a 9-year-old female cat, although we never played together. I lived with an 11- and a 12-year-old child, and I would sleep with them, cuddle with them, and let the kids "tug" on me and brush my hair. I don't recall ever living with a dog. My previous veterinarian prescribed a medicine to help control my stress levels. Having a pet with diabetes is not as difficult as you might think. And my sweet personality is a great reason to adopt me! 8-3-26
