About Shadow

Shadow is an energetic and curious young cat who adores play. You'll find her chasing after wand toys, balls, and especially feathers—her favorite. She loves to carry her toys around in her mouth and plays hide and seek in her tunnel. Once playtime wraps up, she enjoys curling up in your lap. It took her a few days to adjust to her foster home, but once settled, she became very cuddly. Her foster describes her as social and easy-going. Shadow would thrive in an adults-only home without other pets, as she prefers her space. She has a history of skin allergies that's currently well managed through a strict limited-ingredient diet. It's vital she sticks to this diet fully, avoiding any people food or treats, as even a small slip could lead to a significant flare. Shadow might attempt to sneak a bite from time to time, so her family will need to keep a careful watch over her food. Ready to adopt? Start your journey today!
