Snowshoe – Cranbourne

Found a home!! Meet Skye 🩷 Skye is a beautiful, just-turned 10-month-old Sealpoint and White kitten with the sweetest personality. She is incredibly affectionate, loves attention and is a real people-lover. She is super friendly, gentle and has never shown any biting behaviour. Skye is very playful and loves spending time with her people and playing with her toys. She is also a very neat girl and is fully litter trained. One of her favourite things is being held like a baby, so don’t be afraid to pick her up , she absolutely loves cuddles! 🥰 She absolutely loves sleeping on her cat tree, which has become one of her favourite spots in the house. She sleeps like a baby throughout the night, although occasionally just before bedtime you might hear her pushing her ball around or getting the little zoomies, jumping on and off her cat tree! 😂 🐾 Everything Included Everything Skye currently has will be included in the asking price, so her new family will have everything they need to get her settled in. This includes: * 🐱 Her cat tree — originally purchased for $380 * 🍽️ Food and food/water bowls * 🥣 Litter box and remaining litter * 🧸 Her toys * 👜 Her pet carrier/travel carrier * 🦮 Harness and lead * 🐾 Collar * And, of course, Skye herself ❤️ Skye is currently eating Royal Canin Calm food with the occasional treat. She absolutely loves her food, treats and water! Over the next few days, we will be gradually transitioning her onto a non-Calm Royal Canin food. She is fully vaccinated, desexed and litter trained. 🏡 Inside Cat Skye is an indoor cat who absolutely loves exploring her surroundings. I wouldn’t recommend allowing her to freely roam outside on her own, as we haven’t tested how she would behave outside and she may potentially run. When I want her to have some outdoor time, I use an enclosed outdoor enclosure so she can safely enjoy being outside and exploring without the risk of running away. This is something her new family could continue if they would like to give her some fresh air and outdoor stimulation safely. 🐶 Other Animals & Children Skye currently lives with a dog and is slowly learning to feel comfortable around her. She can still be a little hesitant, but she is warming up and becoming more confident. We haven’t had the opportunity to introduce Skye to children yet. However, she is such a friendly, affectionate and people-oriented cat that I believe she would do well with a loving family. She loves attention and being around people. 💗 Finding Her Forever Home Unfortunately, I am needing to find Skye a new loving home due to allergies, which is absolutely heartbreaking because she is such a precious girl. We originally purchased Skye for $400, as we were told she is an expensive breed. Her cat tree alone cost $380, and everything listed above is being included with her. I am willing to take some money off what everything originally cost because my main priority is finding Skye a loving forever home where she will be cared for, loved and treated like the precious girl she is. She really is a beautiful, affectionate and playful little cat, and I hope to find someone who will give her the same love and attention she has always had. ❤️🐾 Im willing to talk about price, if it means she goes to a good loving home 🏡 .

Snowshoe – Calamvale

These cats have a week to go or they may be put down, so they urgently need homes. Rocky (the chalky black cat) is 5 years old, a calm and easygoing companion who is potty trained to go outside. Diddles (the white and brown cat) is 1 year old, loves to cuddle and play, and is also toilet trained outdoors. Both cats are great with animals and kids, making them suitable for family homes. They are affectionate, friendly, and used to a home environment. Looking for kind, responsible owners who can give them safety, time, and care. Please reach out if you can help.

Snowshoe – Doncaster

Meet "Bleuy," a delightful 3-year-old male Snowshoe Seal Tabby Point Bi Colour looking for a new pet owner. With a hint of shyness initially but abundance of playfulness when comfortable, Bleuy is the perfect balance of cuddles and energy. He has been trained like a dog and knows how to sit, high five, jump, spin and roll over when given a treat. He has been toilet trained, microchipped, dewormed and desexed. Regrettably, our bustling schedules and frequent travels for work is preventing us from showering him with the attention he deserves. We are looking for a compassionate cat owner who can provide a nurturing and caring forever home. It would be great for Bluey to live in a home with another cat companion as he does not like being alone. As part of the price, this includes automatic cat feeder, drinking water fountain, cat bowls, cat food, litter tray and litter. If you're prepared to embrace the love and joy Bleuy brings, kindly send me a direct message. Serious inquiries only as we are committed to finding the ideal match for our cherished companion.

The Ultimate Snowshoe Guide

About Snowshoe

The Snowshoe cat, with its captivating blue eyes, distinct markings, and amiable nature, stands out as one of the most beautiful and delightful breeds among feline enthusiasts.

Grooming

Snowshoes have a short, smooth coat that requires minimal grooming.

Origins

The Snowshoe originated in the 1960s in the United States, stemming from Siamese stock. The breed’s unique look came about as a result of a genetic mutation, leading to kittens born with white boots or ‘snowshoes’. This breed was then further developed, combining traits of the American Shorthair with the Siamese, resulting in the Snowshoe’s distinct appearance and pleasant temperament.

Key Characteristics Of Snowshoes

Are Snowshoes Family-Friendly?

Yes. Considering their affectionate nature, Snowshoes make excellent family pets. They are good with children and usually get along well with other pets. However, early socialisation is vital to ensure they’re comfortable around a variety of household noises and activities.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Snowshoes may suffer from:

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Crossed Eyes

Dental Issues

Nature / Temperament

Sociable, Intelligent, Affectionate, Playful, Vocal

Suitable Environment

Snowshoes adapt well to apartment living as long as they have enough activity. However, it’s important to ensure that they have a stimulating environment, complete with toys, scratching posts, and cat trees.

Other Considerations

Their distinct ‘V’ shaped facial marking, combined with white boots, sets them apart from other breeds.

Despite their Siamese lineage, they have a moderate voice, unlike the loud, characteristic voice of a Siamese.

● Snowshoes can exhibit ‘dog-like’ behaviours, such as fetching and following their owners around.

How can I take good care of my Snowshoe?

Nutrition

A balanced diet for a Snowshoe is essential. Quality cat food, whether commercial or homemade, should be provided. Ensure that it meets all the nutritional requirements, especially considering their active nature.

Grooming

A weekly brushing session is usually enough to remove loose hairs and reduce hairballs. During shedding season, you may need to brush them more frequently.

Exercise

Keeping your Snowshoe cat physically active is crucial for their well-being. A blend of independent and interactive activities is ideal. If you have a secure backyard, allowing supervised outdoor time can be very enriching for them. You can also use a leash for outdoor walks.

Training

The intelligence of the Snowshoe means they pick up on commands quickly. Use positive reinforcement techniques.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
