Meet Shade! Shade is a sweet, playful boy who’s looking for his forever home. He craves attention and thrives on cuddles, chin scratches, and cozy naps right by your side. He’s happiest with human company and isn’t shy about asking for affection. Shade blends calm and adventure—he’ll kick back next to you for some quiet time, but light up when it’s time to chase spring toys or practice his sprint after wand toys. You’ll spot a brave, outgoing side in his play, making him a fun and engaging presence at home. Shade has been socialized with cats but is just as content as your one-and-only, if you’d rather spoil him. He tends to do best with older children who get his sweet streak but can handle his energetic bouts of rough play now and then. Right now, Shade has a polyp, and the rescue is working with their vet team for the best treatment—because of that, you can meet him through a foster-to-adopt arrangement, so you both get to settle in together while care continues. If you have questions or want to see Shade in action, reach out to the rescue for an introduction. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
