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.
