Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Hi everyone, meet Shadow. A sweet stray that I got to know and love when I would come back from work. He was always super friendly and I knew that he wasn’t feral but probably someone’s pet who got dumped. Before the most recent big winter storm set in, my housemates and I worked on making a makeshift shelter for him which ended with me being able to catch him to bring home.

I kid you not, this little man did not stop purring or making biscuits for DAYS after we brought him in. He was so grateful to be in warm and safe home again. I brought him to the vet and he tested positive for FeLV, which means his forever home is not with me as I have two other babies who are negative.

Shadow does not care about his diagnosis, he is such a sweet and gentle soul that will look at you with the most expressive eyes. And climb right onto your lap. (This is how I first got to know him, he climbed onto my lap on the street and hung out there for a good 20 minutes).

As much as it breaks my heart to not be able to keep Shadow, I am determined to find him his forever home. He would do best in a very calm home as stress needs to be minimal due to his immune system being weakened. Please help in being the person who shows Shadow how to love and be a cat again, he has so much love to give.\

Shadow is FeLV+ and needs to be adopted as a single cat or with another feline leukemia positive companion. Cats that are FeLV+ can live normal and healthy lives when provided with quality care such as a balanced diet and yearly wellness exam, however most likely their lifespans will be much shorter than other cats. We’d be happy to talk more about this!
