Salem stands out as one of the most striking cats at Noah. He’s a gorgeous male with a shy streak that keeps him out of the spotlight. Most people never get the chance to see his beauty up close, but those who have gained his trust see just how soft and gentle he is. He enjoys being petted, and a tasty treat always goes a long way in winning him over. Salem tends to form close bonds with a select group of people. His favorite activities include sunbathing, napping under cozy furniture, and showing affection to other cats—with headbutts being his preferred greeting. He isn’t much for climbing, preferring the security of low spots. After a year and a half at the shelter, Salem deserves a quiet home where he can open up at his own pace. He hasn’t met dogs and would do best in a calm household. A patient adopter who understands his need for time and space will be rewarded with a cat who gives back loyalty and love in his own subtle ways. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
