Hi! I'm Samantha! If I look familiar (because who could forget this face), you're right! I have been at the shelter before. I used to be known as Callie several years ago. My best friend, Charlotte (then Buttercup), and I were adopted from the shelter as kittens 4 years ago. A couple of years after that, we were returned when our human got married. We were adopted again pretty quickly after that ... but then they returned us to do other things with their lives. Which I guess didn't include us. So here we are.
I am a sweet and playful calico girl. Right now, I am a little on the shy side. (I am really a confident girl at heart, but I am feeling a little confuddled as I get used to being back at the shelter.) I like hanging out in the kitty condo in our cat tree right now—and they've also built me a kind of fort that I love being in. I will come out of my fort and rub against you, looking for attention.
We are not high-maintenance girls—I don't know why our humans wouldn't make plans with us in them. We are now waiting for someone who will promise to love us forever. Is that you? We promise not to let you down!
Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.
