About Samara

Samara is a biscuit-making master with a gentle spirit and a lot of love to give. He grew up in a backyard where kind people helped him get his start, and since then he’s flourished into a social cat who isn’t shy about asking for attention. You’ll catch him kneading everything in sight—from your lap to his toys. Samara thrives around other cats and would do great in a home with feline companions, especially as part of a pair with one of his siblings from the Adopt a Pair program. He’s fully house trained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to settle in. Samara prefers all-natural, unscented litter and scratchers made of sisal or cardboard. He’s used to people and gets along with kids and other cats, but isn’t a fan of dogs. If you’re looking for a loving addition to your home, Samara is hard to beat. Give him a safe, comfortable home, and he’ll keep your couch warm and your heart full. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
