Gender: neutered cat
Alter: about 6 years old
Breeds: European shorthair and longhair
Color: black-and-white
Health: Schnippe suffers from cat cold with slightly watery eyes, but no nasal secretions.
Prehistory: Schnippe was born outside and cared for throughout her life at a reliable feeding station. She then had a wound on her head and was taken to the animal shelter for treatment. The plan was to take her back to the feeding station after treatment. But Schnippe thought the treatment was great! She purred and cuddled, did a milk kick, meaning she stepped on the spot with her front paws, and really enjoyed the attention. The animal shelter therefore decided to place her in a home.
Compatibility: Schnippe is used to other cats through the feeding station. But she would like undivided attention. How it gets along with other animals is not known.
Character: Schnippe loves people. After she gets over her initial shyness, she likes to be picked up and petted. She often crawls into her jacket and can’t get enough of the closeness and care.
Dream home: Schnippe needs to be cared for in an apartment and needs people who have time to cuddle. Every now and then her eyes need to be cleaned a little, but she puts up with it. Schnippe could also be taught to cat beginners.
