Great Cats for Great Homes

Is this seat taken? My name is Samwise, Sam for short, and I am looking for a warm lap to snooze on. HEALTH NOTICE: My people believe I may have been hit by a car before they found me in the garden. My jaw hurts sometimes so it’s best if my food is softened. I have other symptoms of injuries that didn’t heal correctly. I can be a little clumsy and sometimes I hurt a little, but all that doesn’t slow me down! I just wanted to let you know since it makes me a little different.

I’m really just an ordinary kitty. I like to jump up on windowsills and watch the world. I like to scratch so please give me a post or something fun for my claws. I’ll play with fuzzy mice, cardboard boxes, and I love messing up the bathroom mat. I also have an affinity to jump in the shower or tub after you’re done using them. Maybe I want to wash my paws. I’m not particularly shy with people and I’m cautiously curious of new things. But most of all, I want to sit with you. Or on you. I purr the moment you look my way or pat my head.

• Good with other cats? Probably not. I stayed at another home for a short while and the resident cat and I did not get along too well.
• Good with dogs? Yes! I like to play with my dog brothers, but I’ll need a dog that can be gentle.
• Good with kids? I would prefer older kids who will understand that I’ll need gentle handling.

I am spayed. I am not declawed. I am up to date on vaccines. I have tested negative for kitty leukemia and HIV/AIDS. Potential adopters with mobility issues beware: I do like to occasionally pounce on the passing foot or run across your path when I’m feeling playful. Due to my health needs, it would be best if I remain an indoor kitty. I live in Salem with my caregiver and my rehoming fee is $100.
