12. Shadow
Shadow here! Looking for a lifetime contract for head rubs and breakfast.
Age/Size: 10 Months, male, petite & lean, take after my mom.
Personality: Sweet, a little shy, relaxed, and food-motivated!
The Best Morning Routine: I promise to be right there to greet you the second you wake up—mostly because I can't wait for my morning meal! PS. I like bathroom headrubs too.
Read more about Shadow
My name is Shadow. My current humans (well, I like to call them my servants) found me behind their house on a lucky rescue mission. They didn't just save me—they saved my whole family! I was found with my mom—a gorgeous, petite Munchkin kitty with the cutest little bobtail, she’s available too—and my brothers, Minion and Zed. I’m a lean, compact guy who loves the quiet life. I might start out a little shy, but you'll win me over instantly with head rubs. I also make an excellent alarm clock—I will always be there to greet you in bed for a head rub when you wake up, to make sure my morning breakfast is on time.
Bonus Feature: See that handsome tuxedo in my picture? That’s my brother Zed. We are the ultimate playtime duo. If you're looking to double your luck, adopting us together would be the purr-fect setup! TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SHADOW, PLEASE CONTACT HIS FRIEND, KATHY, AT kdykster@aol.com.

Why adopt an adult cat in Fort Lauderdale
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
