Salem

Salem is an incredibly sweet boy who's looking for a new foster or his furever home. I'm his current foster mom and I'm heartbroken to give him up. Unfortunately, my own senior cat doesn't like him, despite several attempts at introductions, and as a result he's couped up in a bedroom for long periods of time. This isn't Salem's fault... he's actually very friendly with other cats. My own cat is experiencing health issues and in her old age she's become less willing to tolerate other cats in her space. I would love to keep him forever, but this situation isn't ideal for him. Salem has had a rough life but that hasn't changed his loving personality. He had been surrendered to a shelter by his previous owner. Once at the shelter he was diagnosed with diabetes, and for many shelter cats that's a death sentence. He was slated for euthanasia but Abandoned Cats Rescue stepped in to save him and he's been thriving here in his foster home. His diabetes is well controlled with a combination of food and medication, and he's certainly not letting it get in the way of living! He's very playful and an absolute snuggle bug. His hobbies include watching cat videos on YouTube, getting belly rubs, chasing the elusive laser pointer, having his ears massaged and attempting to groom his foster mom (my hair is a little too long but he tries). He had a few teeth extracted at the shelter, which doesn't impact his eating. Salem has so much love to give, and I hope that someone will give him the second chance that he deserves. Note: If anyone can foster or adopt Salem, all supplies for his diabetes will be supplied at no charge to you. Contact us to meet this wonderful boy [email protected]
