Samantha [2]

January 19, 2017

Samantha was given to me as a surprise birthday present by my coworkers. She was found in a burlap bag by the side of the road as a tiny kitten and taken to a shelter where my coworkers chose her for me. She was a very small kitty with wispy black fur and little did I know she would blossom into a beautiful poofy Persian-like cat that would be my best friend for almost 17 years!

What kind of person would put a precious animal in a burlap bag and throw it to the side of the road. She is absolutely adorable and grew into a gorgeous cat. I'm so glad you had her for 17 years, and it shows the good care and love you gave to her.
