Sam

This sweet little boy was found by my daughter when she was attending Columbus' annual fireworks Tuesday night. He was wandering around a parking lot all by himself, so my daughter called and asked if we wanted a kitten. I knew it was foolish to ask why, and told her to bring him to us after the show, which she did, around midnight.
He was promptly installed in a bathroom away from all our other animals, but with food, water and shelter- more than he'd probably ever had. He got a quick vet checkup on the 4th and was declared free of any potentially fatal diseases, but needed treatment for all the usual fleas, mites and worms so common in neglected animals, as well as some road tar on his ear and feet. He is a sweet, purring, calm kitten who loves being snuggled and for the life of me I cannot understand how this innocent creature and others like him are left to such awful circumstances.

In addition to a new home, he also got a patriotic, grown up name: Samuel Adams. We're sure he'll grow into the name at the same time he grows into those ears.
