Shadow

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Shadow 🐾 I came to the shelter with my kittens as a found animal. It was an exciting and uncertain time for us. The good news is that we found a safe place here, are well cared for, and have been able to develop in peace. I am a loving cat mom and took care of my little ones as best I could. They are now big enough to go their own way, so a new chapter can begin for me too. Because let's be honest: as much as being a mom is beautiful - at some point a cat mom should also think about herself again. I now live with other adult cats in the cat house. I have settled in well here and get along well with my fellow cats. I am a loving and curious cat and like to observe what is happening around me. I am quite a little personality and know exactly what I want. If something gets too much or I just don't feel like cuddling anymore, I let you know. After all, a good friendship also means respecting each other's boundaries. I would be particularly happy about a home with safe outdoor access, because after my time in the shelter I would like to explore the world outside again, breathe in fresh air, and go on discovery tours at heart's content. Have I piqued your interest? Then please contact my caregivers. Just call the shelter and make an appointment to get to know each other. Maybe we'll see each other soon. Your Shadow

Huhu, ich bin Shadow 🐾 Gemeinsam mit meinen Kindern bin ich als Fundtier ins Tierheim gekommen. Für uns war das eine aufregende und vor allem unsichere Zeit. Umso schöner ist es, dass wir hier einen sicheren Platz gefunden haben, gut versorgt werden und uns in Ruhe entwickeln durften. Ich bin eine liebevolle Katzenmama und habe mich um meine Kleinen gekümmert, so gut ich konnte. Mittlerweile sind sie groß genug, um ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen, und deshalb darf nun auch für mich ein neues Kapitel beginnen. Denn seien wir ehrlich: So schön das Mama-Sein auch ist – irgendwann darf eine Katzenmama auch wieder ein bisschen an sich selbst denken. Inzwischen lebe ich gemeinsam mit anderen erwachsenen Katzen im Katzenhaus. Hier habe ich mich gut eingelebt und komme mit meinen Artgenossen gut zurecht. Ich bin eine liebe und neugierige Katze und beobachte gerne, was um mich herum passiert. Dabei bin ich durchaus eine kleine Persönlichkeit und weiß ganz genau, was ich möchte. Wenn mir etwas zu viel wird oder ich gerade keine Lust mehr auf Streicheleinheiten habe, sage ich auch Bescheid. Schließlich gehört zu einer guten Freundschaft auch, dass man die Grenzen des anderen respektiert. Besonders schön wäre für mich ein Zuhause mit sicherem Freigang, denn nach meiner Zeit im Tierheim möchte ich gerne wieder die Welt draußen erkunden, frische Luft schnuppern und nach Herzenslust auf Entdeckungstour gehen. Habe ich euer Interesse geweckt? Dann meldet euch doch gerne bei meinen Pflegerinnen und Pflegern. Ruft einfach im Tierheim an und vereinbart einen Termin zum Kennenlernen. Vielleicht sehen wir uns ja schon bald. Eure Shadow
