Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

***Shadow came from a cat colony that had undergone extensive TNR program and practically all of them had been rehomed. Shadow, being very friendly, should not continue to be a colony cat, and the decision was made to let this boy come inside, which he desperately wanted to do anyways. Since he came from a colony, being on friendly terms with other cats was a given if he wanted to survive. His foster home included a resident dog, but Shadow was not onboard with a dog and the barking, even if the doggie just wanted to be his friend. Shadow may need a young, friendly and playful cat buddy in his forever home.

Shadow is a total lovebug and the ultimate cat companion. True to his name, he’ll follow you from room to room just to be close to you and soak up all the attention.
He’s a cuddly boy who lives for belly rubs, pets, and cozy time with his humans. If you’re sitting down, expect Shadow to be right there ready to snuggle. He has that “big suck” personality that makes him impossible not to love.

He also has a playful side, he loves toy mice and his favourite little pickle toy that he proudly protects. A Churu treat on top of his food is the quickest way to win him over.

Shadow would thrive in a home where he can get lots of affection and closeness. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal cat who will keep you company and full of love, Shadow is your guy.
