About Salem a specialneeds

Salem, a special needs kitty, is looking for a caring human to help bring her comfort and stability. She battles an allergy that causes skin issues, making her a candidate for a food trial to find the right diet for her. Ideally, she needs a home as the only pet, away from other cats and especially dogs, so she can thrive in a peaceful environment. While she has spent time with her sister Raven, they are not closely bonded and would do well apart. Salem has a loving personality; she enjoys cuddling and will happily curl up on your lap or sleep beside you at night. This sweet girl has experienced significant changes in her life, from losing her first owner to navigating an unstable home. What she needs now is consistency and patience. I will provide assistance in managing her skin condition in her new home, ensuring she gets the care she deserves. Let's make Salem's next chapter her best one yet!
