About Shadow
Shadow is an older cat with a gentle soul, hoping to spend his golden years in comfort. He arrived as a stray—already front declawed, neutered, and recently shaved—just signs that he once belonged to someone who cared. In foster care, he has thrived, earning glowing praise from his caregivers. Shadow prefers a calm setting, enjoying peaceful lap time but also showing a quirky love for playing in water. He’s looking for someone who values companionship and doesn’t mind sharing quiet moments. Shadow manages kidney disease and hyperthyroidism, so a consistent diet and twice-daily medication are musts. Most of his teeth will need to be removed, but those expenses are already covered by the rescue. At about 15 years old, Shadow is relaxed with people of all ages, gets along with cats, and dogs, and hasn’t let age slow his loving nature. If you’re able to accommodate his medical routine, he brings a lot of gentle affection with him. Start your journey together! Apply now.
