🌟 Meet Shadow! This lovely feline has been through quite the journey, arriving with her four adorable kittens. Her previous guardians did everything they could to protect her from the perils of her neighborhood, but life in Hockinson just wasn’t safe enough for a sweet soul like Shadow. 🌌 Now, Shadow has a healed head injury and a bite wound on her leg, which may contribute to her high sensitivity to fear. Imagine this courageous kitty sensing danger from all corners—wildlife, barking dogs, or even just sudden loud noises! When she feels threatened, she can get a bit dramatic and may try to escape by knocking over blinds or scratching at screens. Yikes! 😼 But don't let that fool you; Shadow is capable of forming deep bonds. Once she trusts you, she’s a true sweetheart! Purring away as she tolerates gentle handling, she still exhibits a fierce side when scared, making it essential to approach her with calmness and respect. Over the past year, she has made significant strides in getting used to a homely environment. Although she sometimes lingers at the edges, she has those delightful quirky moments—like when she chortles as she feels sociable or flops around for scritches when you wake up! 🥰 This charming girl has formed a close bond with a male cat in her current home and is an accomplished mouser—a natural at catching those pesky little critters! Shadow needs a safe haven where she can thrive, perhaps a catio, barn, or shop would be just perfect! If you're willing to provide a long adjustment period in a house setting, that would also work! 🏡🌈 If you feel that you can offer this special girl a loving home with another cat for companionship, *apply through the Buddy App* today and give Shadow the warmth and security she truly deserves! Remember, she is already spayed, vaccinated, and will be microchipped when adopted. Let’s spread the word about this beautiful girl who’s waiting for her forever family! 💖
