**SAFE 08/10/16** Samantha’s housemates are safe, now it’s her turn! A volunteer writes: After seven years in one home (with her two kitten kids!), sweet batgirl Samantha is now bunking at the Care Center, as her owner encountered personal problems and could no longer care for her. Her former person had awesome things to say about this lovely lady: Samantha is friendly, outgoing, and plays gently with adults and children. She has perfect litter box habits, enjoys being brushed, goes easy into a carrier, and eats and plays most of the day (string is her toy of choice). At the Care Center she displayed excellent manners from the get-go, acing her behavior exam and accepting lots of strokes and pettings. Come fall in love with this calm, fun-loving mama cat today.
