Shadow Fax

Shadow Fax was brought to us with four kittens. She had guardians that provided as much protection as they could but live in Hockinson and was not a safe spot for her to go back to. She has a healed head injury and a bite wound on her leg which we suspect contributes to an extreme overreaction to fear. The source of fear may come from wildlife, outside human activities, dog barking, anything that she sees as threatening her safety. When she feels under threat, she is destructive while trying to escape (blinds, screens, other property in the way of her means of escape) and will bite if you try to control her when she is in this state. She has the ability to bond with people and will then tolerate being picked up and handled, purring even...but when she’s afraid, she is fierce. Over the past year, she has acclimated to a home environment but hovers around the edges, sometimes getting startled at sudden movements or loud, unexpected noises. She chortles when feeling sociable and will sleep on the bed at night. She then gets silly during those moments when you wake up and she’s there, flopping about for pets and tapping your fingers. She is now much more comfortable about being approached by a trusted human and picked up. She adores the male cat in the household. We understand she is an accomplished mouser so, as much as it pains us, we are looking for a safe place (catio, shop, barn) where she will have shelter indoors or out, or if you are willing to give her a long adjustment period, a house setting. We think it best if she had the companionship of another cat or colony. If Shadow seems like a cat you could accept into your life, please go to sccpets.com and fill out an app. She is spayed and vaccinated and will be microchipped when adopted. Spread the word...Thank you.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application.
