About Samson

Samson is a young, playful American Shorthair with a kitten’s energy and a not-so-kitten history—his scars are proof he hasn’t had it easy. Despite this rough start, he’s generous with his affection, often winding around legs or climbing up for lap time. Give him treats and you’ll see his face light up and his playful side come out. He seeks the feeling of safety and comfort and would thrive in a home where someone has time to help him feel secure. Samson is looking for a place to finally relax and be himself, where he can curl up for snuggles and know he’s home. Born under the sign of Libra, he may have a natural love of harmony and companionship. Click apply to start the adoption process.
