Hello, my name is Samson and mine is a story of abandonment.

 

Pet Patrol found me through a social media site where someone was looking to find my

original owner, and when that didn't happen, I was advertised 'Free' for

adoption. It all started when I ended up on a farm property, and I was

very sad there. I didn't belong there; it wasn't my choice - I had a

home once, but I didn't know how to get back to that comfortable life.

The barn was cold and wet; there were large animals and big clumps of

poop everywhere. This was not the environment I was used to. A lady saw my ‘Found

Pet’ ad that the farmer was good enough to post for me and she thought I

was her lost female cat. Two farmers had already checked my bum and

said I was a girl, but actually, I was an unneutered boy. The woman felt

badly for me when we met and even though I was not her cat, she took me

home. I proved to be such a nice boy too but she couldn’t provide me

with a home and she continued to look for her lost kitty.

She contacted Pet Patrol after being told that "Free Cat" ads were not appropriate and

once in Pet Patrol care we found that I needed a little bit of help. I

needed to be seen by a vet who found some bald spots on my skin - an

infection. I was also in need of blood work and some dentistry as well. No kitty

health insurance here, so the bill is adding up quickly. $745 dental,

$400 diagnostics, $110 antibiotics. I am not a spring chicken but I am a happy cat, content and well

loved in my foster home. I am so relieved to have been rescued by

someone, and in Pet Patrol care where I can be cared for and be 100%

healthy again, but this is a busy time of year for Pet Patrol. There

are not too many wee kittens, but there are a lot of older boys like myself

looking for a way back inside the house and a way into someone's heart. We all need medical care as living on the street is really hard on our kitty bodies and often we are sick and injured.

If you could donate towards my care I will retire happily, when all is

taken care of, onto someone's lap for love for the rest of my life.
