My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Salem!

Joined us in: February 2026

About Salem:
· A very social, chatty boy who loves being in the same room as his people.
· Big fan of food time, treats, chin scratches, and gazing out the window.
· Enjoys attention and affection, but prefers not to be held for too long.
· Startles at vacuums and sudden loud noises; can be shy with strangers at first but warms up quickly (especially with treats!).
· Loves evening snuggles under a blanket and sleeps pressed right up next to you all night.

His perfect match:
· A loving home that offers lots of attention along with calm, quiet downtime.
· Likely best in a quieter environment.
· Compatibility with other animals is unknown
· May do well with older, cat-savvy children

Some extra facts about Salem:
· Takes a little time to adjust to a new space but opens up quickly once comfortable.
· Will do just about anything for a treat!
· Sometimes his little tongue sticks out when he wakes up from a deep nap — it’s adorable.
· He’s polydactyl, meaning he has extra toes, adding even more charm to his personality.

In short:
Salem is a loving, treat-motivated, blanket-snuggling companion who wants to be near his people at all times. With a little patience and a lot of affection, he’ll become your devoted shadow — extra toes and all.
