Sam's Story

Meet Sam!<br/><br/>Sam is an incredibly gentle, affectionate, and social boy who loves everyone he meets. Whether you're coming home after a long day or waking up in the morning, he'll be there to greet you with purrs, head bumps, and plenty of love. Pick him up, and he'll happily melt into your arms.<br/><br/>Sam also has a playful, goofy side! His favorite toy is a feather wand, and he'll proudly carry it around in his mouth before flopping onto his back for the cutest belly-up rolls. He's easygoing, not picky about food, drinks plenty of water, keeps himself impeccably clean, and loves being brushed.<br/><br/>With his sweet personality and low-maintenance nature, Sam would make a wonderful companion for both first-time and experienced cat parents. He does have a mild skin sensitivity that's likely allergy-related, but it's easily managed. If you're looking for a happy, loving companion, Sam is ready to meet you!<br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting Sam please complete our application here:<br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CCRN/Cat

The Cat Collective Rescue NY's Adoption Policy
All adopters complete an application, a short interview, a home check (virtual or in-person), and references so we can ensure the best possible match for both the cat and the family. We carefully consider household dynamics — including other pets, children, lifestyle, and experience — to help make placements that are safe, successful, and lasting. Adoption is a lifelong commitment (often 15–20 years), and if a match doesn’t work out, the cat must be returned to our rescue — never rehomed independently or surrendered elsewhere. Declawing is not permitted. The adoption fee helps cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and medical care; it is a contribution toward the cat’s care, not a purchase. We believe normal cat behaviors like scratching, climbing, and adjustment periods are part of the journey, and we’re here to support you — including check-ins after adoption to help ensure a smooth transition.
