Story
Are you ready for a cuddle companion? Mr. Tarzan is just the kitty for you. He was discovered hanging around a feral colony and was begging for attention. After searching for weeks for his owners with no results he is now in foster care. Mr. Tarzan loves attention and being petted. Lots of purrs going on with him. Mr. Tarzan is a senior kitty (approximately 12 years old). He would love to be your buddy. Mr. Tarzan is fully vaccinated, is negative for FIV and FeLV, is spayed, and microchipped. He has had his rabies shot and is an indoor only cat. It is a SCA policy that our cats cannot be declawed or allowed to go outside. If you would like to find out more about adopting this delightful cat, please call Cari at 571-408-9626 or email info@shadowcatadvocates.org. We answer emails as quickly as possible, but calling for info will be much faster.

Story
Here are some adjectives to describe Ash. He is cuddly and affectionate. He is also very curious, adventurous and playful. He’s brave yet gentle. He gets along with our older cat very well. If you’re looking for a cat to cuddle up with you while you watch tv or read a book Ash is for you. Unlike a lot of cats, Ash loves to snuggle and interact! He’s there to get all and any guests and welcomes kids as well. He has been diagnosed with Feline lower urinary tract disorder. He’s on the Hills c/d diet and has been loving it. He has been seen regularly and his vet visits are up to date, can provide records. With everyone’s busy work/school/baby schedules we are not able to keep up with giving him the love he deserves. With the arrival of our baby it’s just been very difficult to balance. He is so cuddly and lovable. We all love Ash and it breaks our hearts but we think it is best if he is rehomed to a place he will be loved.

Not good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
We would like to surrender our cat Mumu due to not having time to care for him. Mumu was rescued within days of his birth by our daughter who found him on a street corner in 2021. Mumu has been staying at our home since then with minimal interaction due to a big dog being in the house. He stays mostly in daughter's bedroom and since our daughter is no longer living in the home, I have been feeding him and playing with him for brief periods of times two to three times a week. Mumu has never been to a vet and has never been sick. He is healthy and energetic but needs someone to pet him and play with him on regular basis. No kids in the home. Mumu is friendly but reserved until he has had time to familiarize with strangers.

Story
Minni found her way to us accidentally. We were in the process of trying to trap one of our cats who had gotten out. While trying to trap our cat we trapped Minni. We have made every effort to find her owners, but we did not have any luck and could not find them. We have taken her to the vet for a check-up and her basic shots and she is in good health. The vet thinks she is about 1 year old. She is a tiny girl who is very sweet and a bit shy. One on one she is super friendly and loving. When she is out and about in the house, she is shyer and will come to you more on her own terms, but she is still loving and affectionate. To be fair we have 2 dogs and 7 other cats. She would probably be different and do amazing in a house with fewer animals and less chaos. She is very sweet and we would love her to find her forever home.
