Sam belonged to one of our former residents that had passed away in early 2023. The family was unable to take the cat and he was going to have to go to a shelter. That is when we stepped in and decided to keep him as our community cat. Once Sam had free roaming of the entire building, he quickly became adored by all of the residents.
He loves going outside and sitting in the shade in the gazebo. He is often found nuzzled up with residents or napping on their laps. In April 2024 Sam got very sick and needed antibiotics and pain medicine for 10 days. He had pancreatitis. All of the resident and family members were very worried about him during that time. He made a full recovery and was ready to roam the grounds again.
Recently during a fire drill, Sam joined the residents in the gazebo as they evacuated letting everyone pet him and purring for them!
