SAM – A1062957
Gone - 1-21-2016 Brooklyn
**GONE 01/21/16** Painful BLADDER STONES are probably the reason gentle SAM was brought to the shelter as a stray. This handsome guy is 6 years old, NEUTERED, and was brought in as a stray….which sounds an awful lot like someone was afraid of vet bills, and “solved” that issue by bringing SAM to the ACC. Here’s an idea: YOU SHOULD FOSTER HIM! If you work with a New Hope rescue group, the rescue picks up the vet bills and you just concentrate on loving SAM. He can be adopted outright, but he will need follow-up vet care and probably surgery. This is a NICE CAT who deserves to feel better and live a long, happy life. Make that possible by foster/adopting SAM tonight!

01/17/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Sam was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Reaction to assessor: Sam makes eye contact with the assessor and his body was curled up in the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Sam remains motionless at the back with eyes focused on the assessor. Reaction to cage door opening: Sam remains calm and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Sam sniffs the assessor’s hand and slowly gets up and leans his head in for attention. He allows petting but will start to slow blink. Reaction to being picked up: Sam whipped his head around when attempting to pick him up and started to hiss. He goes back to head butting and appreciates attention. Behavior Determination: Experience Sam tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
