Cozy spots inside the house? Check. Her favorite humans nearby? Check. Plenty of opportunities for snoozles and snuggles? Absolutely!Matilda has just one small concern about her future living arrangements. Apparently, humans think they can do things other than cuddle her. The audacity!MATILDA'S OFFICIAL CUDDLE CONTRACTCuddles 24/7, no exceptions.One 30-minute break for lunch.Two 15-minute breaks per day.Failure to comply may result in dramatic sighs, heartbreaking sad eyes, and a land hippo who is deeply disappointed in your priorities.Matilda is currently enjoying life in a foster home while she waits for her forever family. She is ready to find a home where her cuddle schedule will finally be respected. She loves attention, appreciates a good compliment, and firmly believes there is no such thing as too many pets.
