About Sam

Sam is as sweet as they come. He always wants to be near you, curling up in whatever room you’re in without a hint of fuss. If there’s a cat tree or a squeaky ball around, he’ll be entertained, but his real weakness is a peacock feather—he’ll chase it for ages. Sam isn't wild about being picked up, though he’ll sometimes purr through it to be polite, but what he loves most is climbing into your lap on his own terms and making himself at home, purring contentedly for as long as you let him. He’s talkative and loves carrying on full conversations. Sam does communicate by giving bites, though never to hurt—he just expresses himself that way and looks for adopters who understand cat body language. Because of this, he's a better fit for an adult-only home with people who will respect his signals and know when he wants a break from hands-on attention. Despite this, he’s sociable and will happily soak up affection from all the people at a party. He hasn’t lived with other animals but might be okay with a very calm dog or cat. Sleeping in bed with his people is a must—he bonds deeply and likes to be close, especially first thing in the morning, so he’ll thrive with early risers who don’t mind a wakeup call from a friendly face. Sam’s looking for someone who gets him and is ready for a loyal, vocal companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
