Samara was trapped under someone’s porch. They thought she was pregnant… she was not. She had a tumor! She has been cared for and is now ready to find her forever home. She is still shy, but is open to being petted and having her neck scratched. She just needs someone to give her a little time to trust people again. All cats have been spayed/neutered, Feline Leukemia and FIV tested and received basic vaccinations, a rabies vaccine, been de-wormed, and have had a wellness exam by one of our Clarion PAWS veterinarian partners. An adoption application is required and can be downloaded at www.clarionpaws.org.
