Sammy, Another One Of My Rescue Cats
This lens is about another one of my rescue cats,Sammy. I hope to make a lens on each of my cats,I only hope you and Squidoo don't get tired of them!
Sammy story is as sad as most of my cats. He had been hit by a car,and an animal rescue league worker found himto the side of the street. He had a broken leg and hip,but was alive,so she took him to the shelter. They operated on him and repaired his leg and hip,and he quickly became a favorite in the shelter.
The shelter even broke rules,and kept him for a lot longer than they should have trying to find him a home,but nobody wanted him because of his funny walk from his accident.
They tried everything and finally started calling vets to ask if they knew of anyone who would take a 4 year cat with a bum leg.
When they called my vet,she said"Oh,I know just the person" Of course my heart melted when I heard his story,and now Sammy has a home with a person who loves him and 6 "brothers and sisters"
Sammy is now 11.He is a very large,very loving cat!

Please Treat Your Animals With Respect
I hope you will adopt a cat or dog from a shelter. If you do, please treat them with the respect and love they deserve.
Please consider adopting an older pet.They really need homes and are less work than a kitten or a puppy and you get just as much unconditional love and gratitude either way.
PLEASE ADOPT FROM A SHELTER-Did you know,if you adopt from a shelter,your cat will be spayed or neutered,and you can take them back to the shelter for it's yearly shots etc. Much less expensive than a vet.

- Hello mcochs,
I'm loving your squidoo pages about your cats. I have 2 myself, my male cat was rescued from a farm, he looks almost exactly like your Sammy, and my female I had adopted from my vet. I wish I could have more than 2, but my female cat has decided that one sibling is enough LOL. Keep up the great work
