Small cactus with woolly sides identification

Question

I got this cactus as a present, at least I think it is a cactus, but don't know what species it is. It is small now about 5-6 cm in height. It has hairy or woolly sides, and has multiple stems. Does anyone know what species it is, and how big it can grow? Thanks in advance.

I think it's a Pilocereus of some sort. Kind of looks like pachycladus, but that doesn't have all the felt shown on your plant.

Could be indeed. When I google the name I find some woolly variants as well. Thanks again! – benn Mar 22 '19 at 16:02

Someone told me that this cactus is Cereus forbesii. I think it looks very similar, see here.
