About Shadow

Shadow lost her home when her former person had to move in with family who wasn’t keen on cats. She thrives on human affection and has a gentle, loving nature. A bit of a loner with other cats, Shadow prefers one-on-one time with her people and doesn’t get involved in group play. As a kitten, she lost part of her tail, but it doesn’t slow her down at all—she’s fully adapted and healthy. Shadow likes being petted and will happily soak up head kisses, though she’s not a fan of being picked up. She truly is a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, lower-key friend.
