Meet Shadow, a truly unique and affectionate kitten with some special needs. At around 9 months old, he came to us from a Baltimore shelter, initially facing the possibility of a front leg amputation. After consultation with an orthopedic vet, it was determined that he could keep his leg, which allows him to run and play surprisingly well. Though his right front paw is larger and flatter, causing a little click when he walks, he moves around normally and brings joy to those around him. Shadow has REM Sleep Disorder, which leads to small seizures during sleep and slight urinary incontinence—though manageable, this means his new home will want to keep his sleeping areas padded for comfort. He’s currently on medication to help with symptoms, which may require ongoing adjustments. Additionally, Shadow has a playful obsession with water, splashing around in his dish and having a particular fondness for the toilet! Despite his challenges, Shadow has a heart of gold. He loves cuddling and being around people, enjoying being cradled like a baby. He gets along well with other cats and is familiar with dogs. His favorite toys are small, bouncy "beast labs," which he loves to carry and hide. Shadow is looking for a loving family who will appreciate his quirks and shower him with affection.
