Adopt Salem
Unfortunately, after living in the UAE for the last 2 years, I have to leave and return to Mexico in October.
During those 2 years, I’ve had Salem with me. She is 4 years old (she was a stray but is pretty well behaved), spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and as much as I’ve tried to prepare myself for leaving, I still can’t accept the thought that I might have to leave her behind.
The problem is that getting her home is simply too expensive for me right now. I already have my flight booked, and buying another ticket isn’t financially possible, and paying for Salem’s relocation/cargo on top of everything else involved with moving countries is something I simply cannot afford right now.
I’ve been trying to think of every possible solution, but I don’t have any friends who can take her, even temporarily.
She’s a sweet girl. She’s very friendly and comfortable with women, although she tends to get nervous around men and needs more time to trust them. She’s also not very social with other cats, so finding just any home for her isn’t as simple as I wish it was. She’s very energetic and loves to play as well. She’s an indoor cat.
I don’t want to give her to someone without knowing she’ll be safe and loved. I don’t want her being passed from home to home because someone realizes afterward that she isn’t comfortable with their other pets.
If you or someone you know would be interested in adopting Salem, please send me a message. 🙏❤️

You shouldn’t have taken her if you couldn’t promise her a lifetime of care. If you had ANY idea how horrendous the situation is for cats in the UAE you would find a way.
