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.

Adopting a cat in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
