Shadow - Domestic Medium Hair Cat

Shelter: BC SPCA - Victoria Branch Animal ID: 516378 Birthdate: April 06, 2009 - Senior Spayed/Neutered: No Male Shadow is a shy boy that hasn't had a lot of exposure to new people and new environments. He will need a quiet adult only home to help grow his confidence as he settles in to his new home. Shadow would do best in a home that has a spare room they can set him up in in order to slowly expose him to the rest of the home. A slow exposure process would help prevent him from being overwhelmed by the new large space. Shadow has lived with other cats before and tended to be a bit of a bully. We are looking to place him as an only kitty at this point in time. Shadow is highly motivated by cat nip. He isn't a big fan of toys and play but can occasionally be convinced to engage in a game with the wand toy. His new home will need to provide him with multiple hiding places and perching options. Shadow can be affectionate with people once comfortable but takes time to win him over. Shadow is on a special diet currently (D/D Duck skin Diet) that prevents him from having skin reactions caused by food sensitivities. When Shadow arrived he had a severe ear infection and skin infection, these have since been treated and Shadow has recovered well. We are currently awaiting a neuter and dental appointment for Shadow before he can be fully adopted.
