No cap, our Shade has renewed hope!
Shade has likely seen a lot in his lifetime as a colony cat! Along with his siblings (Coco, Nelly, and George), Shade was lovingly cared for until their colony owner passed away. Left in a precarious position at the start of winter, with their only known means of sustenance and care gone, EHS stepped in. He's now safe and warm and on a journey to a loving home.
ABOUT SHADE:
-At shelter
-Senior, domestic shorthair, male
-Shade is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.
-Shade is gentle, but may still greet you with a hiss.
-Since arriving, he's discovered that he enjoys receiving affection with a back-scratcher, and on occasion some chin scritches by hand.
-Shade likes food, but will only eat it when he thinks no one else is watching-freezing in place to not be seen (old habits die hard).
-Most of the time, you'll see him cuddled up with his friends Nelly and George in his safe space, at the base of a cat tree.
-Shade is currently enrolled in EHS's socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him become more comfortable around people.
-Shade is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.
SHADE'S IDEAL HOME:
-Shade is looking for a home with another feline-friendly cat for companionship (maybe one of his siblings).
-A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.
-Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Shade settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Shade with a successful transition to his forever home.
