Shade's Story

Shade has emerged from the shadows! <br/><br/>Shade’s life has changed a lot since spending most of it as a colony cat! He was lovingly cared for until their colony owner passed away and when left in a precarious position at the start of winter (2024), with their only known means of sustenance and care gone, EHS stepped in. Now, this gentle fellow is safe and warm and on a journey to a loving home. <br/><br/>ABOUT SHADE:<br/>- In foster<br/>- Shade is very gentle, but still a shy cat around humans, so may still greet a stranger with a hiss to protect his space. <br/>- After getting a little more comfortable in his foster home, Shade has come out the “darkness” of his safe spaces (a cubby or the base of a cat tree) to bravely explore more of the home, and each day he moves a little closer to his foster parent. <br/>- He enjoys sitting on a window ledge to watch the world outside, and loves <br/> receiving affection with a back-scratcher.<br/>- He enjoys the company of other cats. Shade LOVES the resident cat—following him around , parking beside him, or gently approaching to make friends. Shade will also let him “steal” his tube treats. You’ll also see Shade in the company of his colony friend Nelly.<br/>- Shade is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.<br/><br/>SHADE'S IDEAL HOME:<br/>-Shade is looking for a home with another feline-friendly cat for companionship (maybe Nelly).<br/>-A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children. <br/>-Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Shade settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Shade with a successful transition to his forever home. <br/><br/> If Shade is the guy for you, reach out to EHS today!<br/><br/>If you have any questions about Shade or the adoption process, please contact cats@etobicokehumanesociety.com
