Why we love Sammy–and you should too!
“Hi, my name is Sammy. Life hasn’t been the smoothest for me. I am not sure how the beginning of my life was, but my rescuers are sure I have had a family before. I am just TOO nice and forgiving. When they found me, I was covered in mange, my teeth were in horrible shape and I am FIV+. They did not hesitate to get me to the doctors! It took me a little while here at FFL to fully embrace my new caretakers.. I was scared, confused and didn’t know what was going to happen to me. Even I know that ‘typical’ shelters are not a safe place for a cat in my condition. I was relieved to find out that FFL is not a typical shelter! I was able to take my time recovering and now that my teeth are better and I no longer have mange, I am feeling like a million bucks!
I LOVE ATTENTION. It’s almost as if I am trying to make up for all of the years I have been alone. As soon as we make eye contact, you better get ready to give some scratches! I do not have a mean bone in my body and can rub up against your feet, legs, face, hands, etc. all day if you let me. I love to be wherever you are and if you listen closely, you will hear the soft pitter patter of my feet following you! I can get a little skittish to new sounds and may run back to my safe space. But I will always keep watch on you to let me know when it’s safe. When I trust you, I TRUST YOU. My coat is now a fluffy, thick orange and I have the cutest squints + meow when we lock eyes. Material things mean nothing to me, I am just looking for a family to love me like I will love them.
