Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello! My name is Sammy and I was brought to Maxfund in March of 2012. The shelter doesn’t really know anything about my past other than I lived with other cats, but the volunteers that spend time with me certainly love me! They tell me how handsome and sweet I am all the time!
I love to be petted and when you put me on your lap, I love the attention! I’m a little shy, so I won’t necessarily seek you out, but I really love it when I get attention! There are a lot of other cats in the room I’m in at the shelter, and it gets a little overwhelming sometimes…I haven’t really found my place in the hierarchy, so I just hang out on my own on one of the higher shelves, or by the window. I don’t mind the other cats (although sometimes they don’t like me), and I’m sure I’d be fine with another cat again since I lived with them before. I’d probably be okay with a dog, too, as long as we were introduced properly. I’m a laid-back guy who only wants to find a home I can call mine forever.
What else is there to know about me? Well, I am FIV positive, but don’t let that scare you! FIV is not transmittable to dogs or humans and I can only transmit to cats via a penetrating bite. So, I am generally pretty safe around cats too, since I’m definitely not a fighter, but it’d probably be better if you didn’t have other cats, or had other cats with FIV. With FIV, I can live a long, healthy life, but I just shouldn’t be with someone who smokes. Because I tested positive for FIV, I am also available for foster. I want a permanent home but if you want to foster me, please ask the shelter about how to do that.
Will you come visit me at the shelter and make me a part of your family?
