Hamilton is thrilled (and by thrilled, we mean tolerating) being held by our staffer Claire 😹

Still, he’s scowling on your behalf — because Monday showed up uninvited.

Scowl of the Week: delivered with dramatic flair 😼

Not gonna lie to you, fam - the weekend tuckered us all out. Baylor, Pepper, Hamilton, and Ebi did their best to keep up but it looks like we'll be delaying the start of the week until tomorrow. See you then!

We regret to share the loss of our playful and curious Jiji, who passed away due to feline leukemia. We cherished knowing Jiji from just 3 months old. It’s heartbreaking, but we invite you to remember Jiji's precious life with us.

Please visit our Facebook page for his full memorial. 💚

Weekend Snuggle Session: Engaged

Tommy got some time with his friend Gaby during a quick break. Fun fact, they're sitting on the very couch he spent his first month or so hiding under. Nowadays you can find Tommy nearby and snuggle sessions... and also anywhere food is being given out!

Crinkle Fry and Bruce have officially joined the iPad Kids Club 😹

They’ve discovered Cat TV and we’re not sure they’ll ever be productive again 🙀

Big thanks to staff member Gaby for the perfect photos! 💚

Elsa can’t even get off the floor after her lunch 😹
Callie and Hamilton are stuffed and satisfied! 😸

Thanks to Birdie & Louie for their generous donation of canned food 💚 — it’s feeding both our Shadow Cats and community cats across Central Texas through our network of trappers and caretakers.

Asked Darby, Lottie, and Greta what they were up to.
The reply? Hanging out. 😼

Can’t argue with that! 💚

Ziggy once tried to follow another cat home, but after testing positive for FeLV, his path led him here to Shadow Cats — where love, care, and new adventures await. 💚

We’d let Ziggy follow us anywhere in the sanctuary!

Suzy may not be able to see, but she knows when her favorite human’s nearby 💚

You can hear her meow change the instant she realizes she’s not alone 😻

It’s Tuna Tuesday! 😹
Yes, her name is Petunia, but everyone knows her as Tuna!

This spunky girl came to us from a hoarding situation with paralyzed back legs and megacolon — but she refuses to let that slow her down. She’s constantly on the move, bossing everyone around, and never misses a meal 😼

It’s Tabbytha Tuesday! 💚

Scratching pads? Claimed. Catio? Ruled.

Long live the queen of Oasis 😻👑

We’ll miss his soft meow, his friendship with Tiptoe and Bebe, and the light he brought to Cookie’s Annex.

We're so sorry to bring you sad news. We had to let our precious Scotty go just a little over a week ago. Struggling with multiple medical conditions, our feline leukemia positive boy's body...

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Scotty, a FeLV+ boy who found love, friendship, and peace here at Shadow Cats 💚

Once shy and uncertain, he blossomed into a gentle, affectionate companion who made every day brighter.

A big success yesterday 💚

Shadow Cats partnered with Animal Balance for a TNR clinic where 72 cats were sterilized and vaccinated! With help from dedicated volunteers, staff, and trappers from across Central Texas, the day started before sunrise and ended with countless lives changed.

Marigold’s Monday mood: unimpressed. 😾

She’s back at work at the cute factory, where she’s employee of the month every month 💚

Does this count as Scowl of the Week? We think so! 😸

Darby’s got that Side Eye Sunday look down.
Weekend’s over already? Ugh.

Here’s hoping you squeezed in some fun before Monday comes knocking 😹

Evie, serving her best Side Eye Sunday through the bench slats 😼

Some of our cats have recently moved to new spots in the sanctuary — and while change can be tricky, Evie’s proven she can find her calm anywhere 💚

Elsa’s Caturday vibe: window, sunshine, and peace ☀️💚

She’s a little spicy, mostly sweet, and always ready to soak up that Texas sun from her favorite kitchen perch.

Caturday is here — but no one tell Tommy that his black fur makes those little dust bunnies on his forehead very visible 😹💚

We still think he’s perfect, dust and all!
