Little Sam Domestic Short Hair Melrose, MA

Sam is an orange-and-white tabby girl, about four months old. She's a bit of an oddity in that only 15-20% of orange cats are female. Sam is a rather shy girl. While she's not yet the cat who will rub against your leg, she responds to petting and enjoys playing. Sam should be adopted by someone who's experienced with cats and who has enough patience to help her make further progress. Kittens like Sam tend to be more receptive to humans when there are no other cats in the home, so she should be the sole feline princess in her castle until she acclimates to her human family. At her young age, she has lots of kitten energy, so she'll need lots of play time.

Sam has been spayed, is negative for FIV and FeLV, and current on vaccinations. Her adopter will receive her medical records.

There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. Because she's on the shy side and will require some patience from her adopter, her adoption fee has been substantially reduced. She's being fostered in the Beacon Hill area.

Cats can live over 20 years, so give careful thought to the changes that are likely to occur in your life during that time. If you can and will commit to her and provide a safe, loving home for life, then respond to RoyCBarrows@gmail.com. Please include your phone number for a faster response and say a little about yourself and the home you would provide for her as we try to match people with the right cats.

In lieu of in-person adoptions, for the safety of all concerned, due to COVID 19, fosters are supplying short video clips of the cats to potential adopters and/or connecting via video app, and adopters are making their adoption decisions based on that. This has actually streamlined the adoption process and has been going very well.
