My name is Sal!

Sal loves affection, especially a good head scratch. He’ll happily hop into your lap and settle in to hang out, making it very clear that quality cuddle time is his top priority. Like many cats, he can become overstimulated and will let you know when he’s had enough, so he’s looking for someone who can read and respect his cues.

Sal is very friendly with strangers and has an easygoing, laid-back personality. Toys don’t seem to be his thing; he’s much more interested in his person. He follows his foster around the house, parks himself in the work chair (clearly aware that pets will be required for it to be reclaimed), or curls up right next to you on the couch. If he’s not on your lap, he’s close by.

With his full cheeks, big paws, and confident presence, Sal has all the charm of a “tomcat,” paired with a surprisingly affectionate and needy heart. He would likely thrive in a calmer home with older kids who understand when it’s time to take a break from pets. While he hasn’t been tested with other cats yet, he may do okay with a less dominant feline companion.

Sal doesn’t need much to be happy, just a devoted human who will dote on him and enjoy having a loyal, relaxed companion always within arm’s reach. Once you learn his overstimulation cues, he’s as easy-going and lovable as they come.
