Shadow

Mixed Breed ยท Female

Meet Shadow ๐ŸคŽ Shadow is really breaking our hearts here at Hull Animal Welfare. ๐Ÿ’” ;She came to us with her son, Ghost, due their previous owners ill health. ๐Ÿ˜” Shadow has been very shut down since arriving with us and even after a couple of months, she has shown no signs of trusting us yet. ๐Ÿ˜” Her previous owner said she was the more nervous of the pair, but she really is absoultely terrified of human interaction which is incredibly sad to see. ๐Ÿ˜“ We are looking for a really specaial home for Shadow, with someone who understand that she may take months or years to build up a bond and she may never be a confident cat. ๐Ÿ˜” We would of course love to keep her with her son, Ghost, but we also know that Ghost may end up being here for months or even years if we don't manage to find him a home with his mum so they are able to be rehomed seperately. If you think you can offer Shadow the time and care that she so desperately needs, please call us on . โค๏ธ

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

Shadow is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hull Animal Welfare Trust in South Cave.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction โ€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งAdopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shadow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shadow?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hull Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shadow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shadow if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Hull Animal Welfare Trust will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Shadow already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Shadow isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hull Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shadow and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
