Salem's Sanctuary provides care for community cats across Western North Carolina. We engage in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) of community cats, we have an adoption program for friendly, adoptable cats that we find through our TNR efforts, we provide wellness essentials to community cat caretakers, and perhaps most importantly, we partner with local clinics to provide low-cost spay/neuter services.

Meet Choxie
“I have permanent brain damage from having untreated toxoplasmosis when living outside. I will be a long-term resident of Salem’s Sanctuary until I find a very special adopter, and I need food and special litter that doesn’t get stuck in my fur!”
Meet Arlo & Lucian
We were found after Helene and we’re having a difficult time learning social skills so we can fit in with other cats and be adopted. We would love to have some new toys to keep us busy when foster mom isn’t building socialization skills with us!
Meet River
“I was part of a colony but my dad kept hurting me so Salem’s Sanctuary swooped in and scooped me up! I’m learning to trust people while my wounds heal and will need to stay at the sanctuary for quite a while. I would love to have some new toys and a scratching post!”
Meet Lukas
I should have been adopted months ago with my girlfriend Portia, but I got really nervous in foster care and pulled out all of my fur, so now I look like a plucked chicken and have to stay here until it grows back! Portia and I would love to have a large cozy bed that we can snuggle in together!
Meet Pantless Pawl
“I was attacked by another cat outside and had 9 puncture wounds on my back when Salem’s Sanctuary found me and took me to the vet. I will have an extended stay at the sanctuary while I heal, and I would like some soft food and a comfy bed to heal in!”
Meet Aspen
“I’m a victim of ab*se and have to learn how to trust people again. I’m very scared so it’s taking my foster mom longer than expected to help me become “adoptable,” whatever that means. I would love to have some toys I can play with when mom’s not looking and maybe a warm blanket to hide under.”
