My name is Sam!

Sam and his sister, Lena, were dumped off in the middle of the road in front of a volunteer's farm. They were sitting in the middle of the road, confused & scared. The volunteer was able to pick them up and bring them to the shelter.   Sam is  a nice guy and loves everyone he meets. He plays a little rough with the bigger kids but knows how to settle in for some human snuggles and smooches. He would really love an equally playful  buddy his own age for a companion.

This kitty is an FIP Survivor. Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) was once 100% fatal, but a group of dedicated volunteers and veterinary medicine professionals began using an underground, experimental drug a few years ago and have had terrific success. In 2023 about 80% of cats diagnosed and treated are being saved. In Summer of 2024 the drug became legal for USA vets to prescribe and treat. FIP Survivors have undergone a minimum of 84 days of shots, followed by 84 days of Observation, including bloodwork every 30 days.  Now, after Observation is over, they still need to be monitored. They will need CBC + Chems at 3 mos, 6 mos, 12 months after they are determined to be “cured”, and then annually to watch for any signs of a relapse of disease. They don’t require any special medications, or food, just lots of love and attention.   Complete our online adoption application a www.littleorphansanimalrescue.org to start the process of adding an adorable kitten (or two!) to your home. Adoption fees for kittens include spay/neuter, up-to-date age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, flea preventative, and a microchip.
