If you’ve been dreaming of a cat who is affectionate, silly and unbelievably sweet, Salem is ready to make himself at home in your lap, on your chest, or tucked perfectly against you as the world’s tiniest little spoon. This boy is a CUDDLER.

Sit down for even a moment and he’ll settle into your lap with the confidence of someone who knows he’s exactly where he belongs. Lie down, and he’ll gently curl himself into your arms, purring like he’s been waiting his whole life for that exact moment. And if you’re someone who loves a cat who gives kisses, prepare yourself: Salem is a face‑kissing connoisseur.

In his foster home, Salem has been friendly and calm with other cats and children. He blends in easily, shares space without fuss, and brings a curious presence to the room. He’s fully litter‑box trained and is even tech‑savvy: he knows how to use a Litter Robot!
