Wow, Delilah, thanks for letting us know EXACTLY how you feel.
She's giving a bit of cattitude for Tongue Out Tuesday it seems but this feline leukemia positive kitty knows she's living her best life and can get away with a little goofiness whenever she feels like it!
Had to resurrect Scowl Of The Week for our boy Hudson here. To be honest, we didn't even tell him it was Monday again -- he just KNOWS.
While FeLV+ and 10 years old, he's doing well! We'll continue to care and love for this guy so don't worry about this momentary long face, he gets lots of love 💚
Our boy just can't quite get it together. Bowie is nonplussed about Monday and doesn't know which way he wants to walk here. But don't worry, he found his way to the catio and although he gave me a couple mean mugs straight to the camera, he's back to being his old playful self 💚
Getting a little 'tude from two of our favorite gals.
Petunia delivers an honest to goodness side eye for our traditional Side Eye Sunday and then Marigold asking why we're bothering her atop her throne (cat tree).
We'll try to do better for these two next Sunday I guess 😹
You know what? It's Sunday and we could use a little more floof to finish out a mid-April weekend.
Josie, Greta, Dottie, and Bebe are all here and thanks to all the extra fur they can provide, we're hoping this is just the cushion that will get us to gently move on into a new week 💚
It's FeLVie round up for Caturday!
Dexter is in airplane mode ✈️
Callie is zeroing in on her next treat 🍩
Hudson is delivering a breathtaking blue steel to the camera 📸
And Evie is getting in some well deserved scritches from a volunteer 😻
Happy Caturday, friends! 💚
But since he moved into Cookie's Kingdom, he's been making friends with Marshall and Hamilton and has really come out of shell. Believe it or not, we estimate that he's only around 3 years old but he definitely gives off old man vibes 😹
We're so glad you're with us Bear. You belong at Shadow Cats 💚
Unfortunately he was tested and found to be feline leukemia positive, which often leaves a cat with no options. Luckily he found his way to us and we've been loving on him since.
He arrived a little shy and was also suffering from uveitis, which causes his third eyelids to not fully open.

A little story about our little guy, Bear 🐈⬛
Bear came to us pretty recently. He was a community cat living around Kerr County and was trapped and neutered shortly after the tragic floods that happened in July last year.

Finishing the work week with a little staff photo round up. The theme this week is goofball:
Petunia posing with the pickle 🥒
Edith sitting up and showing some 'tude for dinner 🍲
Bowie really getting into butt scratches 😹
And Dorian being a wild man with them wild eyes 👀
Happy weekend, friends!
The goal: get a portrait of Shadow II ✅
Secondary goal: just a bit closer on her sweet face ✅
Final goal: whoa that's too close, Shadow! ❌
We take treat time seriously at Shadow Cats. Ok maybe we don't but here's a fun video where your POV is the treat lol
POV - you just got out the treat jar and Baylor and Ebi have teamed up to guilt you into dumping them all out 😸
Marshall's reaction when he found out it's only hump day 😾
The week may be dragging but on the bright side, buddy, we only have 2 more days to Caturday!
Once again, my plans to take cute cat pictures are thwarted by an unruly kitty obsessed with my camera strap! But honestly, I can't be made. In fact, no one should ever be made if they lay eyes on Bowie 😻
So here's a midweek boost from one of the cutest little dudes you'll ever meet 💚
It's Tuesday, and this is Tabbytha. That's right we're delivering another long overdue Tabbytha Tuesday! 😸 This sweet gal still warms our hearts (and laps!) every chance she gets. Tabbytha came to us with a nose injury that required several corrective surgeries. Now, she lives life as a normal cat 💚
Mystique delivering a tiny blep for Tongue Out Tuesday during a rare stroll through Cookie's Cottage 😜
Legend has it that this pretty tabby mostly hangs out at the top of a cat tree, nestled in a little nook. But when dinner is served, she makes her presence known and does a tour of the room 💚
Ms. Edith before and after I told her it's Monday again 😾
Don't worry, Edith is doing fine. She just occasionally gets a bit of a scowl, but even moreso at the start of a new work week. Does she have a job? No, of course not. Well, unless you count sleeping in a bed on the kitchen counter a job 😹
Shelf cats - Callie and Coraline, sharing similar ideas on how to relax on a rainy Sunday 💚
We hope you had a great weekend friends. Here's to the week ahead!
Reminder! Get your $99 tickets to Shadow Cats gala before the end of this month (April) for this reduced price. Prices go up on May 1st. buff.ly/ilLrb4e
Celebrate our nearly thirty years of service on behalf of community and special needs cats.
You'll be glad you came 💚
Help us settle a debate, which of these two sweet boys is the sweetest?
Dressed in his Sunday best black and white, we have Stitch.
And then there's Crinkle Fry, who exhibits all the orange cat stereotypes at all times.
🐈⬛ emojis for Stitch and 🐈 for Crinkle Fry! Sound off in our replies 💚
Hamilton & Elsa put on their best donuts because it's Saturday night and they know how to party 😹
As much as we want this to be a fashion statement, these serve a purpose! These two are sensitive to allergies so on occasion, we try to deter them from over grooming by wearing these collars 💚
We made it to Caturday, but Central Texas’s cloudy weather means we’ll have to make it a lazy day.
Stitch, Dottie, Arnold, and Evie will take it easy. They had plans, but the clouds ruined them. We hope you don’t mind, but maybe next weekend would be better for productivity 😹
We’re sorry to share sad news but we said goodbye to our beloved Meeko. He struggled with medical conditions and feline leukemia, and he couldn’t overcome them. Though he was with us briefly, he felt safe, loved, and cared for daily.
Visit our Facebook for his full memorial 💚

Wow! You guys really wanted to help Bowie. Yesterday, we asked for help on our dry food wishlist, and you delivered. We may have left someone out, but thanks to Jacquie, Amy, Leslie, Ron, Samantha, Mary, Theresa, and K&M for the food and Chewy gift cards! Bowie and his friends will be well fed 💚
Thank you so much, Theresa!!!!
POV: you’re a camera and Dottie has set her sights on your wrist strap 😹
Taking pictures of the Shadow Cats is usually not dangerous proposition but when Dottie is being... well Dottie, hazards may follow you. She eventually let go and posed nicely for a portrait. We still love you Dottie 💚
These pictures really need no caption at all but, phew, our boy Stitch go himself a great pettin' session with Cat Care Tech Anna the other day and we just had to share.
Our bob-tailed friend has come a long way from his timid start at Shadow Cats. We like to call this The Shadow Cats Effect 💚
