Snowball is a 3-year-old Domestic Shorthair in Sanford, NC, who needs $2,000 for Orthopedic Procedure.

This is our son's emotional support pet cat. His name is Snowball and he is 3 years old. We got him from Pet Alliance Rescue of Sanford. Florida. He is neutered and micro-chipped. He is a very sweet and loving cat and follows our son to just about every room in our home and so wherever our son is, the cat just follows. We consider him the family cat because he is just very kind and playful.

Snowball likes to sleep in our son's room and they just enjoy each other's company. He used to be an indoor and outdoor cat but after the August 31st incident we decided that he will no longer be an outdoor cat. He likes to play and tends to be very wild especially at night he likes to run through the house at different hours. He is very well behaved but can sometimes be mischievous.

We are currently asking for financial assistance to help cover costs for Snowball's surgery along with upcoming physical therapy. We care for our four children in our family. Due to the pandemic it has put a setback to cover for Snowball's expenses.

Our cat was outside on the night of August 31, 2020 and another "unknown" animal caught him and attacked him. We quickly took him to our local Banfield Pet Hospital clinic where he got sutured up and was diagnosed with a bite wound on the right elbow and then a shattered left elbow that needed surgery. We took him to Quartet Veterinary Hospital of Cary, NC and he is currently being treated there.

He likes to play hide and seek and likes to track objects around the house. Anytime someone rolls a toy on the ground even if it is just a piece of yarn it is play time for him. He likes to go outside and just see what bugs he can chase and catch as well. Our son is autistic and we can see a huge difference when they are around each other with so much love and support that the cat has to offer.
