*** SAFE 02/16/17 *** SNICKERS is one of the sweetest senior kitties at BACC and as far as this sweetheart is concerned, all he needs is love to feel better! He has big beautiful, complicated eyes but one simply desire: to be loved and showered with affection. He’s never met a stranger and will purr up a storm the second you start petting his head, and even though he’s not feeling too great right now, he rolls around and definitely appreciates head rubs and attention. He’s alert, has an appetite, and needs follow up medical care for his neurological disorder.
