Puzzle Snowshoe

Puzzle is a silly, playful boy who loves people and attention. He is ready to find his forever home with a family who will love him as much as he is ready to love them.

Puzzle is approximately 3 years old. He is an active, smart boy who loves to chase toys, solve puzzles, and play with people. He is very affectionate and loves being cuddled and pet. He can occasionally become overstimulated and will nibble at fingers, but he is never aggressive, and immediately responds when told ‘no’. Although he came with his name, it is fitting – Puzzle enjoys food puzzles and mazes, new toys, and different activities to provide mental stimulation and engagement. He is good with other cats, but does like to wrestle gently, so would be best with another young adult/middle aged cat that enjoys the same play style.

Puzzle is neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, Feline Bartonella negative, fecal tested and dewormed, and has received his full series of 3 FVRCP vaccines and his rabies vaccine. He is generally healthy, but does have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). He is receiving medication for the condition, which he takes easily in his food. This is the most common heart disease in cats, and Puzzle had an echocardiogram diagnosing it. It is unknown whether this condition will shorten Puzzle’s life; in some animals it progresses rapidly, in others they live full, healthy lives with no worsening of disease. Puzzle will need to see a cardiologist throughout his life to monitor and manage the condition. Due to this, we are looking for an adopter who has an extensive prior vet reference, demonstrating that they will provide this level of care.

Puzzle is a wonderful, loving boy who deserves a forever family of his own who will play with him, cuddle him, and love him, and he will return that love 10 fold.
