About Shadow

If you’re looking for a truly sweet-natured boy, Shadow might just steal your heart. This gorgeous boy can be shy when you first meet him, but behind that initial uncertainty is the gentlest, most affectionate little character. Give him some patience, reassurance – and perhaps a Dreamie or a little chicken – and you’ll soon see his lovely personality begin to shine. Shadow is affectionate on his own terms and isn’t quite a lap cat yet, but he loves company. He’ll follow you around the house purring – and he has a wonderfully loud purr! He’s also a playful boy who loves his feather stick, ping-pong balls and spring toys, and when he’s ready for some downtime he may even join you on the sofa to watch TV. And Shadow has one particularly adorable little quirk: he loves shoes! Leave a pair lying around and you may find him curled up with his paws tucked inside them – or even fast asleep on them. Shadow would suit someone who understands that the best relationships sometimes take a little time to blossom. Once he feels safe, you’ll be rewarded with a loving, playful companion and that wonderful rumbling purr. Shadow would probably be happiest as the only cat in the home, or potentially with another cat around his own age. He hasn’t explored the outdoors yet, so a secure garden where he can discover the outside world safely would be ideal. Could you be the person who gives this very special, sweet-natured boy the safe and loving forever home he deserves? OK with older children Garden required Shadow has been neutered, microchipped and has started vaccinations OK with older children. Garden required.
