Story
Hello! My name is Salem, and I am a low-maintenance, adult cat that loves to cuddle. I have lovely short hair, but I really don't shed much for a cat. I am very good with children and adults, and I even (kinda) like my dog-sister, since she's about my size. I like to play, but I don't need a lot of exercise. Give me a soft pipecleaner for a toy and I'll be entertained for hours! I like canned food best, but I will eat canned or dry all the same. You can even leave a little extra food in my bowl, and I promise not to overeat! I used to chew on everything, but I am happy to report that I am one year sober from eating any socks, clothes, or shoes. I love a good firm scratch right on the top of my head but scratching my neck or the base of my tail works wonders. Just please don't scratch my tummy; I'm a little sensitive about that. I need a new home, preferably one where I can be the only cat, but I may open up to siblings.

Story
Handsome is a very particular cat, he makes it well known you must earn his trust first...but once you do this big boy makes the reward well worth the effort. He will be the first one in bed at night and his choosen place is in a leg curve or propped up on one like it is an armed chair. He has the funniest voice to come out of such a large cat and will gladly demonstrate his agility skills when any stringed toy is presented. Handsome is very affectionate to his cat family but prefers to seek human affection on his own terms, making it very obvious by meowing or rolling back and forth in front of your feet. Handsome was relocated to a second foster home a few months ago and is getting along well with other foster cats in the home.  He has also been very loving to the foster kittens in the home. ##1191272##

Story
I previously came from a feral colony. My ear was clipped when I was spayed and released back. I eventually made my way to a kind lady that would feed me.  I am very sweet and when I want attention I will sit and stare patiently until you hold out your hand. I enjoy flopping myself on the floor when you rub me and flipping side to side. I literally get along with all cats because I am very secure with myself and unphased.  ##1370779##
