Meet Salem!Joined us in: February 2026About 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 childrenSome 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.

Story
Meet Laurence. This sweet boy does things in this order: first, he makes friends, then he indulges in all the pets, and finally… he rolls onto his back, belly up, ready for extra snuggles. Every moment with him is filled with Joy! He may look a bit weathered on the outside, but inside? Pure sunshine! Laurence is ready to bring laughter and a little playful fun into the home of someone kind and ready to return all the love he so freely gives. If you’re looking for a cat whose affection is truly contagious, Laurence is your perfect match!***This cat has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). They`ll need to join a home with other FIV-positive cats or be your one-and-only feline friend. With proper care, many cats with FIV live long, happy, and healthy lives, full of love, play, and companionship******NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.If you are viewing this animal through 24Petconnect by PetPlace or Adopt-a-pet, please visit our website https://kwsphumane.ca/adopt/process to submit an application. Any applications submitted outside of www.kwsphumane.ca may not be received.
