Health
Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered, special needs. Sampson has tested positive for FIV. FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which is a lifelong illness. FIV is a virus that is transmitted from cat to cat, mainly through bite wounds. As such, it is important to adopt FIV positive cats as only cats, into FIV only households, or into stable households where the cats will not fight. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy and happy lives and commonly go many years or their entire lifetime without any symptoms. The average life expectancy at time of diagnosis is 5 years, although many live much longer. Symptoms of FIV include gingivitis, stomatitis, urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections, and a slightly increased risk for certain cancers. It is important for FIV positive cats to have regular vet visits and receive their vaccines on time, as their immune system may not create antibodies to the vaccine as effectively as other cats. Sampson was found to have abnormalities associated with his right forelimb. He likely had a previous fracture that healed abnormally. He seems to ambulate around well but does display some discomfort and cannot fully extend. Please follow up with your veterinarian concerning this. Radiographs are recommended to assess this area.

Meet Sampson

Hello! I'm Sampson. The staff here has quickly learned to love me and hope that you will too! I occasionally hang by myself, but love to be scratched on my neck and ears and am tolerant of being held. I'm laidback, affectionate, and like attention, but am not a fan of super loud noises. I really like food, but I think my favorite thing is pets and scratches. I was found as a stray so nothing is known about my history with other animals or children.
