My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sam is a black and white short-haired cat. He's the most skittish out of all of them. We caught him and his brother (Riley) at the very end of July. He likes being pet, but is very cautious about coming up to people unless he knows them well (and even then sometimes he's hesitant). He sometimes makes a little squeaking sound when he wants pets, which is very cute! Once he's ready for petting, he will sometimes nip at your hand if you're not giving him enough pets! We're working on eliminating that behavior. He is pretty submissive, and the other cats all seem to pick up on that. He doesn't get along super well with our oldest cat (a two-year-old female tortoiseshell cat who was also a stray). He sometimes sneaks up behind her and swats at her. He doesn't do this with any of the other cats, which is interesting. Our tortoiseshell can get a little grumpy, so it's possible she initiated some sort of feud and he's just continuing with it. He is really a very sweet cat. We do think he might do best in a one-cat home, just based on what we've seen so far (unless someone wants to adopt him along with his brother, whom he does get along with fine). Sam has had a complete wellness exam, is microchipped, neutered, tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV, and is updated on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $250.00 which includes a free wellness exam within 7 days of adoption. Sam is currently located in a foster home. Payment is either cash or check. Sorry, we do not do any out-of-state adoptions. ADOPTING A PET IS A LIFELONG COMMITMENT!
