Samoa
Whoever gave me the name "Samoa" was a genius. I look like this yummy cookie with legs, ears, and a tail. I am a bit on the skinny side, weighing only 5.8 pounds. I had a Body Conditioning Score of 3/9, which means I have less body fat than is considered healthy for my breed and size. This can be caused by not enough food intake, a high activity level, or a medical condition. My coat is in rough shape, and the medical staff found that I was missing some hair around the base of my tail and inner hind limbs. I am a 7-year-old female Tortoiseshell cat with a very loving personality. I arrived as a stray cat on May 17; however, the interviewer (IL) is skeptical that I have never been someone's pet. I am far too loving and friendly to be a feral kitty. The muscles in my back legs are rather weak. I have had some tummy troubles, and the staff is working on finding the diet that gives me the most relief. In the meantime, I have enjoyed my little 2-room apartment, bed, and blankets. I do 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. 7-1-26
