We have something very special to share for Salem's So Sweet this year! Come meet Snowflake! The Amazing Ice Cat! Gracing our window this year as part of the ice sculpture festival, we brought in this marvel of nature for this very magical week. Legend has it that if you tell your special someone that you love them in front of Snowflake, OR if you tell yourself that you are loved, you'll be granted nine lives worth of good luck! Come visit us for sweet treats and stop by for your last chance to take a photo in our ice throne before the spring thaw!

A Statement From Black Cat:

Recently, there have been several high profile elected officials, including local Congressman Seth Moulton, that have made harmful and misleading comments about the Trans community, and most worryingly, our Trans youth.

Today there was a rally held here in Salem, at which many spoke, including several of our Salem and surrounding community City Councillors. We attended with some of our staff, and were pleased to see a considerable turn out.

We are LGBTQIA+ owned and operated. We stand by our position as a Safe Space, and will fiercely defend and champion our partners in the Trans community. We will more than happily take the time to explain to anyone who wants to understand, exactly how dangerous statements like Seth Moulton's are. It was suggested today at the rally that we not give these people “air” but we personally believe it is important to call out these statements and the people who make them, so it is obvious to everyone where they stand, and why they are a problem. Moulton’s interview was only a few days after his reelection, in which he ran unopposed.

Many elected officials today said “they have our backs” and “they will fight for us.” What we truly need is people who are genuinely championing legislation for protection of the rights and freedoms all people are supposedly guaranteed. We need partners who are actively working to make things better and safer, supporting the local organizations and businesses that employ and defend those in the community, and we will be pushing for this even more vehemently than before.

Black Cat firmly believes that no matter who you are, who you love, or what you identify as, you should be given a space of equality and understanding. In our small corner of the universe, you will be given that, always. We put our time and our money where our words are, and we encourage you to do the same.

"It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened?

But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.

That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

We will be opening Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe a little late today, and closing a little early. But please remember, we will ALWAYS be a safe place, and a port of refuge.

We see you.
