Meet Samwise - Male Orange Tabby - Adopted!

Name: Samwise (Nicknames includes Sammy, the Samster, Sammy Sammy Bo Bammy)
Sex: Male, Neutered
Age: Around 1 Year
FIV and FLV Negative

UPDATE: Sam found his new home on Sunday, January 16! Yay! 

My foster mom took one look at me after I was wrangled and scooped up, and decided that I looked like the most wise and serious of a cat that you would ever want having your back. That on an adventure, I would stick by your side no matter what. And while she isn't a devoted LOTR fan, the name "Samwise" immediately sprang to mind and stuck. So, that is who I am! 

I am getting over my upper respiratory infection and starting to feel better. I am even starting to play. Probably something I never got a chance to do at that place where I was rescued from before being abandoned. 

A little bit about me: I'm probably around a year old. I am taking some antibiotics to get over this cold I have, but I am going to go back to the vet to make sure that I am on the mend. My rescuer will require a home check visit in advance of my adoption just to make sure that I am in good hands, and will ask that you attest that I will be an indoor-only kitty. She’s taking care of my needed vaccinations and neuter; I will be microchipped and I am FIV/FLV negative. The only thing I need now is a new home. I will be available sometime in mid-January.  

Fun fact: did you know that most orange tabbies are males? Yep! 80 percent of orange tabbies are male. The ginger gene in cats is on the X chromosome. Did you also know that Vikings took a liking to orange kitties and purchased them from vendors during the travels to the Mediterranean? Many think the Vikings are the reason why the orange tabby gene is so prolific today; so perhaps my original Samwise Viking-adventuring ancestor is why I am here with you today!

I can live in either a half hour to 45-minute radius of The Woods Resort in Hedgesville, West Virginia or a similar radius to Kensington, Maryland. If everything above sounds good, you can reach out to my rescuer at westvirginiacats@yahoo.com and we can see if you’re the right fit for me.
