    I believe it is a Mammillaria. I have one very similar and kept happy and warm, can bloom for months! :-)

    Your cactus is a mammillaria, but not backebergiana – M. backebergiana has a straight central spine wheras your cactus has a hooked central spine. But sorry, I cannot come up with an definite alternative.
