SouthCare’s Staff Pet of the Month: Gilbert Snowball

Dr. Coulson’s newest addition to the family was elected to be higlighted this month as Mr. March!

One day in August of last year a sweet little kitty arrived at SouthCare. He was very talkative  and I could tell right away what he liked most was snuggling!  He was brought in by a Good Samaritan. It seems he was hanging out at this fellow’s porch for a week! Being very allergic to cats and traveling extensively for work, this man could not keep him. However he was happy to get him neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated so that he would find a good home….that ended up being our home.

My children finally agreed on a name for him–Gilbert Snowball. He has become a great part of our family! At first not too sure what to make of our two dogs, he was a bit skittish. I would bet he had a few scary encounters with canines when he was out on his own.   But Besa and Addison only chase him occasionally to get their kicks.  Our other kitty finally realized she was not going to get replaced, so she puts up with him.  He still loves snuggling best of all!
