FURREVER HOME FRIDAY: SAMPSON
You may remember Sampson, our lovely boy who came into Cats In Distress after being found as a stray, in poor condition and with a wound on his face.
After everything he had been through, we were determined to find him the perfect home where he could finally feel safe, settled and loved.
Sampson found his forever home as the only cat, and it sounds like he has completely embraced his new life.
His adopter recently shared:
“Sampson is doing really well thank you! We’ve had him over 8 weeks now, and he’s recently discovered that if he goes in the back garden, he’s allowed back in again. I did wonder if he was hesitant about going out because he was a stray and thought he might have to be again.
He’s also learnt to be a kitten again and has mad zoomies (usually just after breakfast, but sometimes at 4am). He’s such a cuddly kitty.”
And that isn’t all!
Sampson has gone from a nervous stray to a properly loved member of the family, complete with absolutely no understanding of personal space, a habit of pushing his face directly into his human’s face, and even the occasional tongue-out sleeping position!
His adopter told us:
“He’s a huge part of our family now and we want to give him the best possible time for the rest of his life having been through so much.”
That is exactly what rescue is all about.
Thank you to Sampson’s wonderful adopters for giving him the patience, understanding and love he deserved — and for keeping us updated along the way.
From stray, frightened and injured… to home, safe, loved and learning how to be a kitten again.
That’s a Furrever Home Friday worth celebrating.
