Sammy
AvailableSammy is a medium-sized female Domestic Short Hair/Tuxedo cat with eye-catching black and white short fur. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and reliably house trained. Sammy is currently being cared for at Griffith Animal Control, where she is known for her gentle, affectionate nature, though she is naturally quite shy. Her sensitivity makes her most comfortable in calm, quiet settings, especially indoors, and she would do best with adopters willing to offer her patience and understanding.
About Sammy
Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. The holidays are a wonderful time to open your heart and home to a kitty in need, and Sammy is hoping for her very own Christmas miracle. Sammy is a medium-sized Domestic Short Hair (tuxedo) with beautiful black and white markings, spayed and up-to-date on all vaccines. She has spent over a year at the rescue, patiently waiting for someone to give her a chance to shine in a quiet, loving indoor-only home. Sammy is extremely shy and prefers her safe space—her cage—but will purr, meow, and lean into pets once she feels secure. She is not feral or aggressive, just sensitive and introverted from a difficult past, likely as a former pet forced to fend for herself outside. Sammy thrives on gentle attention and is very sweet and calm. Shelter life is hard for shy kitties like her, so her ideal adopter is patient, experienced, and ready to help her blossom. She would love a calm environment with adults and no dogs, and her transition may be smoother if you already have an outgoing, confident cat friend to show her the ropes. Sammy plays with toys and shows more confidence every day, given the chance to open up in her own time. If you’re ready to share your life with a special cat who needs a little more understanding, Sammy could be your perfect match. Come visit her in her own little room at Griffith Animal Control/Treasured Friends Rescue in Highland, Northwest Indiana, and experience her quiet charm for yourself. Shelter volunteers are committed to helping adopters create positive, loving transitions for shy and unsocialized kitties like Sammy. Please, only consider applying if you are ready for a serious commitment and want to provide a forever home. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
