Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Salem, Oregon

we adopted blackie from a local adoption center. she is 10 years old. blackie is the only female in the house and that is a bit of a problem sometimes. she needs to be in a home by herself or with another female. she is very loving to kids and adults and looks for attention all the time. with 7 cats in our home that is difficult to provide her the attention she needs. Blackie also loves to talk to humans.

DOB: 07-11-2012 Gracie has lived in same house since she was born. She is shy and might take a little time to warm up, but once she gets to know you, she will sit on your lap and let you pet her. Gracie is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can be the center of attention. A patient and caring adopter who can give her the time and space she needs to fully come out of her shell would be a dream match for this sweet girl.

Our Roxy is an amazingly sweet girl who deserves the most special home who understands her needs.  She is small im stature and a cuddle bug who loves to be carried to bed and snuggle against you all night.   She will let you kmow loud and clear if she needs anything!    Roxy was born with CH:  Cerebellar hypoplasia ("CH") is a neurological condition in which the cerebellum is smaller than usual or not completely developed. ... In cats, this condition is also called "Wobbly Cat Syndrome.   It never worsens and never gets better though they learn to manage it.  She is moderate on the scale and controls her head and shoulders very well.  Roxy is very sefl sufficient but needs a house with room for her to leap about and not chaotic.   Roxy will wobble her way to the litter box and does her very best to always hit her mark.  She is very loving and loves to be held or lay on your lap.  She currently lives with several other cats and four large dog's, but gets scared and screams if they get in her immediate space and will tell them about it.. she's very vocal!    with that, she would do much better in a home with less active or chill dogs and cats.  She just gets scared if she thinks she is going to get trampled!    if you are interested in Roxy, plese include a paragraph on why you feel you are the best home and your experience with CH. Roxy is avaiable in the PDX area of Oregon (including Salem and surrounding area).    ##1872345##

Maverick is our very special sweet boy who deserves all the love in the world!  He's very laid back and will sit with you for hours watching movies and wants to be near you.   Maverick is a speicial needs boy with severe CH (also known as wobbly cat syndrome).   Here is a link where you can find more info on CH:  https://www.thenoahcenter.org/2022/09/28/the-truth-about-ch-cats/ Maverick is about 4 years old and along with having CH, he is missing several teeth and has a front "snaggle tooth"- but is healthy!     He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and has had base line bloodwork upon joining the rescue all of which was completely normal.     He does have  tremors that are common with CH and also a pretty severe head bobble - so drinking water is difficult and he eats wet food and sometimes dry kibble mixed in water in raised bowl.     He was raised by a family who loved him very much but just didn't have the time to continue caring for him.   He uses a litter box but because of his severity and wobbles, he needs help getting in and out and will lay down to do his stuff.    He is on a schedule though and will go in the litter box when you put him in the box on a schedule.    Maverick has lived with big dogs and other cats in his foster home, but he mostly loves just being with his person.   If you have had a CH cat previously, then. you know how much love they provide and what a joy they are to care for.    With Maverick's severity level, he does need someone who has experience with CH and is aware of what they require.  If you are interested in Maverick, please provide a few sentences on why you want to adopt Maverick and how you are prepared for him.   ##2000741##

Hi there, I'm Tera! I'm a young, sweet, and gentle soul. Despite my shy nature, I'm quite brave and love to explore my surroundings. I'm also quite the cuddle bug, always seeking a warm lap or a gentle stroke. I was found outside and now, I crave the attention I missed out on. I'm friendly with everyone I meet, and I've got a heart full of love to give. I'm a bit timid at first, but once I get to know you, we'll be best friends forever. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and sweetness. Adopting me means gaining a loyal companion who will cherish your love and attention. ##2034542##

This kitten is nine months old. He likes to interact with people very much. He is also very docile and has never damaged furniture.

This is Pip! She was born 03/01/2023 so she’s one year old. She’s very petite for her age. First two pictures are of her now and the last one was when she was a kitten. My grandparents cat had an accidental litter and she was given to us since they couldn’t find a home because of her fear of people. A couple days after bringing her home we found out we were expecting but wanted to try to work with her anyways. Because of lack of funds we haven’t taken her for a vet visit. We have another cat in our house that she adores and a dog that she tolerates. Since bringing our baby home she’s been incredibly stressed and spends all day hiding. She’s gotten better with people and will walk up for pets now but generally tries to avoid us. Ideally we think she’d do best in a home that’s not so chaotic with a kitty friend. If you had a calm dog that would be ideal. She’s never scratched any furniture, litter box trained, and has the potential with the right person to be a love bug I know it.

Meet Zinc, she is a little over 2yrs, spayed female. Zinc was abandoned at our clinic with her 4 teen kittens. Our wonderful clinic jumped into action and had them stay there, as our shelter was full and didn't have space for 5 adult cats. Zinc's babies have all been adopted, but our Zinc remains. When she arrived she was not very social, she hated living with multiple cats and did not really want affection from humans. Now that all her adult kids are gone and she is now sharing space with 2 cats, Agee and Jolene, she has come out of her shell. We have found she loves men, especially one of our amazing volunteers Bob. She would love a quieter home, no dogs and no young children. She likes cats who don't get in her face and close to her age or older and are independent like her. She would love someone patient and that is okay with her being up high, she loves to be up high and watch the room and activities. She just needs someone who is ready to open their heart and give her a chance, are you that person? Reduced adoption fee, Thank you Susan for you kind donation towards Zinc's adoption fee.
