Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Boston, Massachusetts

Shadow – Available for Adoption

Shadow is a sweet, silly, and (very) social boy! After one short week with his foster family, he blossomed into an affectionate companion. Aptly named Shadow, he’ll follow you around his room, asking for pets with head butts and the cutest little trills. Although he’ll eat solo, this social-eater prefers to have you by his side as he chows down. He is currently on a CD wet & dry diet for maintenance and to help prevent further urinary issues that he had when first rescued, but in time we hope he can be weaned off.

Shadow wants human attention all to himself and will do best if he’s the only one vying for your love.

He sometimes expresses his displeasure in humans leaving his room by circling around your legs, but we think he’ll do better when he’s allowed to roam free in his new home! We’ve been practicing longer play sessions to make sure he’s adequately stimulated, and he’s happy to cuddle up in our laps when he’s tired.

He’s come a long way from the shy guy we first brought in. If you’re looking for a goofy, playful, and clingy companion, Shadow’s the cat for you!

Shadow is approximately 5 years old, neutered, negative for FeLV and FIV and up-to-date on his vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org
