Critter Details

  Simply a magnificent beast, Sam Vimes is the complete package. A seasoned gentleman, this senior long-haired tuxedo is searching for his perfect fit. He’s a laid back kinda fella, enjoying the finer things like gazing out of the window in his favorite cardboard box and long naps on his crinkle bag. Sam is a lover of toys and does enjoy the power of the hunt! A feather wand toy is his first choice, although he finds amusement in all sorts of toys.  A big ol' teddy bear, Sam has been in longer term foster with two adult humans and enjoys the company of other adult humans. While he's not a fan of dogs, he would likely do well with calm children. Sam is also fantastic babysitter, and his sheer presence has quite the calming effect on crated foster kittens. Sam flawlessly uses the litter box, and provided with scratchers, he happily uses them. He is quite limber for a large cat and grooms himself well, and he also tolerates being brushed. Sam is a diabetic on Bexacat, a chewable pill he takes once in the morning in a small bit of his rx canned food, followed by the remainder of the can. (No insulin!) Sam eats two cans a day, no dry kibble. Come meet this fancy gentleman and you're sure to fall in love!
