Sad-faced-Salmon was trapped along with 18 of her friends on the property of a single residence in the North Hills. Although the kitties had a wonderful caretaker, the neighbors in the area were not fond of the cats and were not always being kind to them.
Salmon is used to having a human caretaker - she and the other cats used to line the windowsills of the home of their feeder and wait for him to come out with their food. Salmon has been in foster for 3 years. She loves to lounge either on her cat bed or up high on her cat shelves. She is still pretty shy but will now hang out a few feet away from her foster mom while staring at her with her sad face. She really needs an adopter who is committed to going slow with her, starting her out in one small room, and giving her time to adjust. She has SUCH an expressive face - you can always tell when something is worrying her. Once she trusts you, Salmon is not difficult to pick up or handle, though she does not currently like it. Salmon loves her food and hanging out with her foster cat friends, especially Gary, her last remaining colony friend. We do feel that with a patient and committed adopter, Salmon will learn to trust and want to hang out with them.
Salmon has lived with (many) other cats in the past, and we think she would enjoy a friendly cat buddy in her forever home - with proper introductions of course. None of the kitties from this area seem to like dogs, so cat-only homes, please! We think that Salmon would do best in a quiet and calm home, but might do ok with older, respectful, cat-savvy kiddos who know to respect her space.
Salmon is estimated to be about five years old. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Please consider giving this sweet girl a chance - we know there is an amazing cat in there just waiting for a chance to blossom.

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
