About Eclipse & Shadow —

Eclipse and Shadow are a bonded pair who must be adopted together. These adorable brothers, around 9 to 10 months old, have been neutered and vaccinated. They're looking for a calm, patient home where they can learn about the joys of indoor living. Previously part of a TNR program, they were brought to True North after someone recognized they needed care. Once settled in, it became clear that life outside was not ideal for them. These sweet boys are gentle and shy, preferring to observe from a distance and take their time before feeling safe enough to approach. Though they may not enjoy being picked up yet, they show signs of progress as they get comfortable. Their interactions with younger kittens at True North are heartwarming; they take on the role of unofficial dads, watching over the little ones and displaying tremendous patience. Eclipse and Shadow offer a unique opportunity to earn their trust gradually. Their ideal home will understand that forming bonds takes time. They may not jump into your lap right away, but being part of their journey is incredibly rewarding. If you're ready for two gentle souls who simply need a stable environment, Eclipse and Shadow might just be the perfect match for your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
