My name is Samuel!

Meet Samuel! Samuel is a sweet and resilient 3-year-old black cat who’s been through more than most in his young life. He came to us through our humane officer from a difficult situation, and while he’s safe now, the shelter environment has been stressful for him. To help him cope, Samuel is currently on behavioral medication, which has been helping him manage while he waits for his forever home. Samuel has also been diagnosed with feline herpes virus (FHV), a common condition in cats that causes watery eyes and sneezing. It’s not contagious to humans, and his symptoms tend to ease when he’s feeling relaxed and safe.This gentle boy would thrive in a quiet, patient home where he can adjust at his own pace. Because of his past and current needs, Samuel is looking for a home without other pets or young children (under 10). He’ll do best with someone who understands that trust takes time — but once you have his heart, you’ll find a loyal and loving companion.Samuel may need a little extra care, but he has so much love to give. If you’re looking to make a big difference in a small life, Samuel might be the perfect match for you.To meet Samuel, complete an online application at www.washingtonpashelter.org or visit during walk through hours on Tuesday 1pm - 7pm and Wednesday through Saturday 1pm - 4pm.
