The Salem Yule Cat will be visiting Nordic Hall to collect donations for a cat food drive, helping support cats in need this winter. Admission to this event is a donation of cat food or a monetary contribution per person. All donations will benefit local animals and shelters.

Long ago, the Yule Cat was known to eat anyone who didn’t receive new clothes for Yule—a tale meant to encourage hard work and kindness during the long winter months. Today, the Yule Cat has become a beloved (and symbolic) figure of generosity, reminding us to care for one another—humans and animals alike.

Perfect for families, cat lovers, folklore fans, and anyone looking to add a little Nordic magic to the holiday season while supporting a great cause.
