Sammy Domestic Short Hair Round Hill, VA

Sammy is a super friendly boy, despite having a rough start in life. He spent most of his kittenhood hiding under cars and using storm drains and the sewer system to navigate under busy streets as he roamed the neighborhood looking for food. He found enough to survive, but he weighed just over 4 lbs at around 7 months old! Sammy was trapped as part of our TNR efforts in the area, and it didn’t take long for our volunteers to see that he wasn’t thriving there. While Sammy was recovering from surgery it became clear that he would be a great pet, and he was put into a foster home to get the kitty-lovin’ that he so desperately needed.

Sammy loves to play, and he loves being touched and petted. He’ll head-butt into your hand and stand on his hind legs to reach you! He wants to be around you all the time, but he will also occupy himself by playing with toys when he’s alone. He’s really smart too! He knows his name, he can almost open lever-handled doors (give him another week and we think he’ll have it figured out), and he knows his name and comes when he’s called.

Sammy is a beautiful, almost all-black cat. He has a cute white spot on the front of his neck, and everything else is black – his fur, paw pads, lips, and nose. He can almost disappear in a dark room!

If you are looking for a happy, playful, loving companion cat who is almost a year old then please fill out an adoption application for Sammy! He’ll make you very happy, and he’ll be happy to be rescued!
