What a beautiful girl! Darcy is as sweet inside as she is on the outside. She's good with other cats, dogs, kids, and has impeccable manners to boot! Darcy has been in residence with Liz's family, which means she's a well-rounded kitty who will easily make the transition to her forever family's household. She's three months old and has her initial vaccinations. Apply using the easy online adoption form on our website. The link is in the comments.

It’s GO time! HORSE LOVERS, we're AUCTIONING off this beautiful wire wrapped horse pendant STARTING NOW! This is a FUNDRAISING auction, bid accordingly. Auction will run for 3 DAYS ONLY, ending on Sunday (Dec 8th) at 8PM. Bidding starts at $25, place your bids in the comments in $5 increments. High bidder at 8 PM on Dec 8th is the winner.

This beautiful piece, with a market value of $120, was handcrafted from a labradorite stone wrapped in solid copper wire, adorned with seed beads and antiqued for a finished look. Measuring 2 1/2" in length, the pendant comes on an 18-inch black cord and includes cleaning instructions. This would be an awesome CHRISTMAS GIFT!

This gorgeous necklace is being donated by our friend, Talia, to help us with our effort to raise money to spay/neuter twelve outside cats that need to be relocated ASAP. 100% of proceeds from the auction will go toward that fundraiser.

Sending a big THANK YOU to Talia for her continued support of our cause and for all she does for the local rescue community. Linking to Talia's Etsy shop in the comments for anyone interested in checking out her other beautiful hand-crafted pieces of jewelry.

We're still looking for barn placements for six kitties who need new homes because the property where they live has been sold and their caretakers have to move. We're working with the caretakers to trap the cats, get them spayed, and move them to their new locations. This girl is one of the cats in need of a place to go. Her name is Fluffy, and she is very scared of people, other cats, and the world in general. She's also had an injury to her foot at some point. It seems to have healed.

As you can see, she's a long-haired kitty, and she looks pretty rough around the edges. She could use a good brushing but she's not at all interested in being touched. If anyone is interested in giving this lady a safe outdoor home, please drop us a line. This is a FERAL cat, not a pet. She may bond with a caretaker in time. She is also very AFRAID OF OTHER CATS. Fluffy has not been spayed yet so she isn't quite ready to go at this time.

And, again, we're still looking for barn placements for five other cats in the coming weeks. If anyone is interested, please contact us for information.

Sending a big THANK YOU to our volunteers for braving the snowy weather today in order to get kitties to the clinic for their spay appointments. Seven lucky ladies got their spa days today and are that much closer to being adoption-ready! Shout out to Jess H, Tina, Karen & Bob, and Steven for safely delivering these kitties to the clinic and getting them back home again. We're always looking for people to help transport cats to appointments. If driving is your thing and you want to help our cause, drop us a line!

Callie is ready for adoption! This sweetheart was a stray living on the streets until a recent turn of fortune brought her into our care. Her foster, Jess V says she is as sweet as can be with people but she's not crazy about other cats. She's adjusting very well to indoor life and clearly has seen the inside of a house in her past. Callie uses the litter box and scratch pads and has very good manners all the way around. She would not enjoy being mauled but does appreciate a warm lap. If you're interested in adopting Callie, please use the application on our website to apply. The link is in the comments.

Sharing with you today the impact that your donations have had on Salem's cats in 2024. So far this year, SCC has helped 240 cats; that's 80 kittens & 11 adult stray cats taken in from outside for fostering and adoption, 100 TNRs, and 49 owned cats fixed on our dime.

What makes it possible for us to do so much for so many is your support. We've taken in $39,423 in donations this year. Of that, we've spent $33,056 on vet bills, 80% of which was for spay/neuters and vaccinations. These pics are some of the kitties who benefitted.

Your donations keep us moving forward in our mission to improve the lives of Salem's cats through spay/neuter and TNR. Please keep us in mind this giving season and, as always, THANK YOU for your support!

By the look on her face, does Cricket know something that we don't? Doesn't she kind of look like an old soul?

Cricket has been sort of aloof toward people since coming to live with Amy and her family a couple of months ago. She's finally warming up to head scratches and is starting to think that humans come in handy for some things.

Cricket is approaching five months old, is fully vetted, and is ready for adoption to an experienced cat person who will continue to work with her on her social skills. If you're interested in applying to adopt this very special kitty, please use the online application on our website. The link is in the comments.

Willow and Blossom are sweet sisters who are ready for adoption! These little ladies can go together or separately (we do offer a reduced fee for sibling pair adoptions). They're good with other cats and would be ok with a calm dog. Willow and Blossom are up to date with shots and FIV/FeLV negative. Their adoption fee includes the cost of their spays at a later date. Apply using the easy online adoption form on our website. Link is in the comments.
