About Sam

Meet Sam! This handsome 2-year-old boy came to PAC as a stray after his caretaker noticed he was urinating blood. After receiving medical attention, he moved into foster care, where he’s thrived away from the stress of the kennel. Initially, Sam was a nervous kitty unsure about his surroundings, but he’s been slowly coming out of his shell with love and patience. Once comfortable, Sam becomes a true lover boy, leaning in for pets and seeking affection. His foster families have quickly discovered how sweet he is, with one noting a more confident Sam just three days after their return. Sam enjoys lounging in cozy spots, especially on warm heating pads, and he’s quite talkative when mealtime rolls around. Sam has been introduced to other cats and has shown submissive behavior, indicating he may do well with feline companions if introductions are handled carefully. He prefers not being picked up, and he might find carriers challenging, so a calm home respecting his boundaries will help him flourish further. Sam has made significant progress and now needs someone to make a commitment to his growth. Could you provide the cozy, safe haven Sam longs for? If you think you could be the one to help him bloom, visit PAC and meet this lovely boy. He’s ready for a forever home where he can feel secure and loved!
