Samoa
Whoever named me "Samoa" was a genius. I look like this yummy cookie with legs, ears, and a tail. I am a slim 6.9 pounds. In May, I was brought to the HSHC as a stray cat. My coat was in rough shape, and the medical staff found I was missing some hair around the base of my tail and inner hind limbs. I weighed only 5.8 pounds. I got adopted but was returned after only 2 months. They said it was my tummy troubles and that I didn't get along with the three other cats in the home. Now I need to start all over again to find my forever home. I am a 7 1/2-year-old female DSH Tortoiseshell cat with a very loving personality. Although I arrived as a stray, the interviewer (IL) is skeptical that I had never been someone's pet. I am far too loving and friendly to be a feral kitty. My owner said that I am very affectionate, love being petted and cuddled, and I crave attention. I got along swimmingly with the 6-year-old granddaughter. The existing cats got on my last nerve. They were young, and when they approached me, I would growl, hiss, and sometimes even chase them to make them leave me alone. I will need a lengthy, gradual introduction to any pets you already have.
The muscles in my back legs are rather weak. The medical staff found that Hill's Science Diet Z/D food is most beneficial for my digestive system and gives me the most relief. ( My previous owners fed me Purina Complete Cat Chow and Friskies.) Now I am back in the cattery in my little 2-room apartment, bed, and blankets. I love it when the volunteers come to interact with me. When the interviewer lady (IL) stopped by, I was excited to greet her with some heartfelt head butts. She began rubbing my cheeks and chin, and soon I was curled up on her lap, purring and closing my eyes. Pure bliss. As she petted me, she found lots of little matts in my fur. I think she will bring a brush next time she comes to see me. I hope to find someone with a big heart for cats who are down on their luck. Please give me a patient, caring home where I can thrive. A cozy indoor life and loving care will help me feel like a kitten again. 10-26-26
