✨🐣 EASTER ADOPTION FEE SPECIAL 🐣✨
🖤🐦 MEET SALEM 🐦🖤
Extra! Extra! Read all about me!
Do I have everybody's attention? Good. Now, if everyone's ready, please take a seat, get comfortable, and let me re-introduce myself...
Nature
My life started off in the way most stray cats' lives begin: cold, hungry and alone. Thankfully one of the Angels whisked me away to safety and gave me somewhere warm to sleep and filled my belly up with nourishment.
It hasn't been an easy time adjusting to domestic life. For the first few months I was terrified of my new pawrents and would hiss at them until they left me alone. My only comfort during those early days were the friendships I formed with the other newly rescued street cats in the house. With plenty of love and patience from my pawrents, and comfort and support from my furr-iends, I slowly started to settle in and learn to love my new life.
I'm still a little timid when I'm feeling uncertain but when I'm at home where I feel safe, and with everybody I love, I am the sweetest and most gentle boy who is everybody's best friend.
Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I've never met kids before but my Foster Mama thinks I would do better with the older kind who will be gentle with me and respect my boundaries.
I'm a huge fan of other cats. HUGE. The more cats around me to love and take care of, the better! I’ve got two best friends in my foster home: Benny and Devon. I would love to be adopted with one (or both!) of them, but I totally understand if you can only take me. I would be fine without them provided you have another kind, confident, friendly kitty who will take me under their wing and look after me. I wouldn’t suit being an only cat.
As for those cats that go 'woof'. I've never met them before but so long as they are placid, and most importantly cat-friendly, then I'm sure we will get on famously… or at least learn to tolerate each other!
Likes / Dislikes
My favourite thing in the whole world is food! Sure, living on the streets is fine but if someone had shown me the treats you hoomans have on offer earlier I'd have been a house cat long ago! My favourite treat is chicken and cat milk. And have you tried those Dine creamy treats? They are to die for! I would literally sell my soul for one of those bad boys right now. Come to think of it I'd sell yours too and the only tears I would shed are those of sheer happiness for my belly. Ahem, anyway… speaking of bellies, my Foster Mama always has the audacity to laugh at mine because it sways when I run. She even said she saw it sway once in the wind but that is a vicious rumour and definitely did not happen. Probably.
My other favourite things are my foster siblings, aka my BFFFF's (best furry feline friends forever, obviously), food, good company, a cosy place to rest my belly, food, gentle pats, love... and I don't think I have mentioned it yet but I also quite like food.
Despite being confident in so many ways I am still uncertain of new people and new environments. It will most likely take a few weeks for me to settle into my new digs but I am 110% (that extra 10% being my belly *wink*) worth the wait, I promise.
My PURR-fect home would be with a wonderfully kind and caring family who have the love and patience to give an ex-street kitty the beautiful second chance he truly deserves. One with endless amounts of love, affection and Dine creamy treats.
Perth Rescue Angels recommends all cats are indoor only, unless they have access to a secure cat enclosure.
