About Salem

Salem is a quiet, soulful cat who seeks out gentle company and a peaceful home. He isn’t one for noisy chaos or a barrage of cat toys, but he can’t resist a wand toy and gets playful when you break it out. Salem has a soft, expressive meow and will greet you at the door, letting you know he’s around without raising much fuss. Wet food is his top priority, especially anything with gravy, and he’s serious about mealtime. He enjoys sitting in a lap during work calls, curling up with you during a show, or finding his own space to stretch out. Salem is affectionate on his own terms—calm handling wins his trust, and he’ll return it with plenty of attention. He’s comfortable on his own during the day and uses his tall scratcher often. Salem is best as the only cat in the household since he values having his people (and his space) to himself. Salem is FIV-positive, which means with proper care, he’ll have the same healthy lifespan as any cat. FIV does not spread easily—only deep bites between cats pose a risk, and it cannot be transmitted to people. Ready to give a thoughtful, sensitive cat a home? Ready to meet your new best friend?
