The before and after speaks for itself.
Leo was a former community cat who had already been through more than his share. After years outdoors, he finally found safety with a devoted caregiver. But his health quickly became complicated.

As the year comes to a close, we need your help.
Many of the cats who arrive at Shadow Cats require hands-on medical care, daily monitoring, and long-term support.
Your end-of-year gift helps make this care possible, not just to survive, but to live with comfort and dignity.

Bear’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. Displaced by flooding in Central Texas, he spent time surviving wherever he could before testing positive for feline leukemia. For many cats, that diagnosis closes doors. For Bear, it opened the right one.

Bebe delivering the last Tongue Out Tuesday of 2025. It may look like she's not putting forth much effort, but being a long haired kitty, it's hard to tell how much of her tongue is actually out here 😹

In most places, options for feline leukemia positive cats are limited. In San Antonio, that reality is even more stark.
In November 2025, we heard from compassionate community members about a tiny black kitten living on the streets.

A quiet moment. A gentle sniff. No rush 💚
Taking the time to make cats feel safe around us helps us care for them better and gives us the chance to offer what they deserve most: patience, kindness, and love.
Ziggy is learning that hands can be gentle, and we’re happy to meet him where he is 😻

We have a newbie in our midst. Meet Penny 😻
Sweet, affectionate, and convinced the world is full of friends, Penny wandered into a kind person’s yard here in Austin. No microchip, no one came forward, but she quickly showed she was ready for safety, love, and a place to belong.

Snuggle time in Cookie’s Cottage 💚
Josie wasted no time claiming Sanctuary Manager Kearstin’s shoulder… then upgrading to the lap, as one does. Meanwhile, Callie waited patiently nearby, trying to pretend she wasn’t being slightly overlooked 😾
Fear not, Callie received plenty of love too.

The holidays are about warmth, belonging, and the families we find. For Edith, that sense of home disappeared overnight.
After 13 years with one family, Edith was lost during a cross-country move and found terrified, hiding inside a hotel bed. Fear led to quarantine, then she was facing euthanasia.

When Domino was trapped for spay surgery, she was still nursing her babies. That meant getting her safely back to her colony as quickly as possible — and keeping her fed before and after surgery was critical.
