4443.0. "SAM" by CSSE::MANDERSON () Fri Mar 08 1991 13:54

    I just received some fabulous news that I wanted to share with all of
    you.
    
    If you remember - Sam was a cat that I rescued but unfortunately due to
    his severe health problem and the fact that my two cats and Sam could
    not adjust - I had to give him up.  I brought him to Central Animal 
    Hospital (he still wasn't well) in Leominster and discussed the whole
    issue with Dr. Mulcahy.  (There are numerous notes in this file 
    regarding 'Sam' - #3888 is just one of them.)
    
    Anyway - Wednesday we received a card in the mail from the Hospital 
    reminding us of Tiffany's yearly appointment for a 'check' and shots 
    and when my daughter called to set up the time, she asked the status 
    of Sam.
    
    He is now their 'house' cat.  He had a tumor on his thyroid - which Dr.
    Mulcahy removed...and everyone loved him so much - he has now taken
    over the place.  I am planning on going in to see him and hold him for
    awhile within the next week.
    
    Anyone who remembers reading about the whole adoption process, his
    illness and the heart-wrenching decision I had to make giving him 
    up - will be happy to know that Sam is alive and well and is loved 
    by everyone who goes into that office.
    
    I can't say enough about Dr. Mulcahy.  She promised me she wouldn't put
    him down (needlessly) and she kept her word.  I still feel sad that we
    couldn't keep him with us - but am thrilled to know that he is around
    so many people who love him so much.
    
    Marilyn, Otis and Tiffany

	How wonderful for Sam! Dr. Mulcahy sounds like a very special person. I just love to hear stories with happy endings. Thanks for sharing that with us.
4443.2	I've met him too	ISLNDS::BARR_L	Is it Friday yet?	`Fri Mar 08 1991 16:26`	11
	I have to admit, Sam is a very beautiful cat. He's extremly friendly and will just sit there and and let you pat him. He's also extremly curious - I brought Snowball in the other day in a cardboard cat carrier. All of a sudden I heard this noise that sounded like Snowball had jumped out of the box. I looked down to see that Sam had jumped onto the box causing the top to collapse so she could get a better look at what was inside. I think Snowball may have been frightened a bit, but it was quite humorous because I don't think Sam was expecting the box to collapse. Lori B.

	So so Happy to hear about Sam. That is great news...and I bet he gets alot of attention. I've been wondering about him (and you, tiffiny and otis) because we haven't heard from you for awhile. Thanks for posting the update...and cheers to Sam who stole the heart of Dr. Mulchay. Sandy
4443.4	:-)	XNOGOV::LISA	Give quiche a chance	`Mon Mar 11 1991 09:18`	7
	That is GREAT!!! I am so glad Sam has a happy home, I often wondered about him. Lisa plus PR&F.
4443.5	Sam has a new home!	CSSE::MANDERSON		`Fri Apr 12 1991 10:15`	20
	Tracey took Tiffany to the Dr's for her shots, etc. and asked to see Sam. Dr. Mulcahy said that someone in the notes file read where he was available and they adopted him the week before Easter. I am so happy for him and for THEM. He is such a love. I don't know who the new adoptive parents are but if you read this note - please give him a big hug and a kiss from me (and Tracey). Marilyn P.S. He loves to be brushed (preferably a baby brush - it's the only spare one I could find in the house and he got so that that's the only one he wanted). He also loves to be cuddled at night. He loves soft music and (believe it or not) sometimes slept on my bed with a stuffed pig. I have pictures of him with 'it' if you would like a re-print of them! snif snif....miss him but I am glad he's in a good home!
4443.6	so pleased for Sam	XNOGOV::KAREN	when you wish upon a star...	`Tue Apr 16 1991 06:57`	10
	I remember the story! I was so pleased when I started reading this note, but I'm even happier now that Sam has got a proper home. It's just wonderful news! I hope the new owner is reading this and is able to give us an update... Bye for now, Karen (and Georgie)
