Shelter's Comments: Are you looking for a guy who's not afraid to tell you his feelings? One who would rather watch romantic movies than action movies? Don't mind orange fur on your black pants? You have found your match; Sam I Am may be the kitty for you. This guy has it all, good looks, great personality, and a loud, soothing purr. Sam I Am can be shy at first as he has had a lot of changes in his life. Once he adjusts (a day or so) his true personality shines through. He loves to explore and will cautiously walk around his new area looking for the perfect vantage point to survey his new home. Once he's scouted out the new area, he will be by your side looking for attention. He enjoys ear/chin scritches and has no problem rubbing against your arms if your hands are full. Toys are a must for this guy as he will keep you (and himself) entertained by chasing spiral toys and wand toys around. Sam I Am has spent time in a foster home with other cats and dogs and has perfect litter box habits.

Name: Nuggets, ID#A480538
