Shadow

My story

Shadow is a very unique and beautiful long haired cat! Her coat is black with a gray undercoat that is very pretty! The vet estimated her to be about 8 months old in March of 2024. She is a small cat and is not quite fully grown yet! (She will probably be fully grown by summer of 2024!) Shadow came to us after mysteriously appearing out of nowhere... she was rescued after being found outdoors where she was living under a shed. Shadow had to be trapped at first in order to be taken for TNR since she wasn't confident enough to approach or be approached by people. Once she was trapped, it was abundantly clear that she was definitely not feral (wild), just scared, because she meowed at us through the trap and really didn't seem that frightened by people! Due to her "friendly" behavior, we held onto her after she was fixed and gave her some time and patience to decompress and see if she would be adoptable. She MOST DEFINITELY IS adoptable although she is definitely still skittish and shy at this point! (She has been through a lot, after all!) Although we don't know anything more about Shadow's background, we do know that she has been around people before because she allows herself to be picked up, petted, and held with no problem! Although she is still in need of additional socialization, she is very sweet, has never shown any aggression of any kind, and has a lot of potential as an indoor house pet for the right person! Shadow needs a CALM home with someone who is willing to invest time and patience into continuing to socialize her. An adopter who has experience with skittish cats would be ideal but not necessarily required. We are not recommending a home with young children due to a calm home being in Shadow's best interest. Shadow is great with other cats and kittens so a home that has another feline companion, preferably a confident or outgoing one, would be ideal for her and may help her feel at home! Shadow has not yet been dog tested but we absolutely can do that if it makes a difference for you! (Just ask!) We want Shadow to go to a home that is willing to keep her regardless of how outgoing she may ever become. (Not EVERY cat is super outgoing and that's ok! They are entitled to have their own personalities!) Shadow has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, flea treated, FIV/FeLV/HW tested negative, and microchipped! She was eartipped at her time of spay because she was a part of a TNR program but it certainly doesn't make her any less beautiful!
