Samantha Persian Mahwah, NJ

Say hello to Samantha, she is one of our gorgeous international cat rescues that we are lucky to have the opportunity to assist in finding her new home here in the USA! She is an amazingly sweet calico Persian female cat who is ~ 18 months old and is 100% ready for her "furever" home!

Samantha is not an unusual story for female purebreds in Egypt, she was rescued from a pet shop where she was kept in a cage and used primarily for breeding purposes. She has had many litters, but has since been spayed and is ready to be someone's new baby! Since she was in a pet shop which are loud and busy with people and other pets, she received plenty of socialization and like most of our international rescues, she isn't afraid of much! She loves everyone, she can go to a home with other cats, dogs, and young children but ONLY if the children are respectful towards the pets in the home!

Samantha has been fully vetted and is vaccinated (rabies and distemper), blood tested negative for feline viral infections; FIV/FLeV, microchipped and treated for fleas/ticks/dewormed.
