Shadow & Hope

All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Shadow is a quiet, gentle and timid little girl. She wants to trust and am sure she wants to be cuddled but it will just take time.
Hope is a beautiful innocent little one who loves to play and follow around her friends. She's a good talker and is always interested in what is going on.
All of our family love them dearly, and we know they love us, but it is time for them to move on and find a family of their very own.
A family who can change lives though love, kindness and patience. Is that you?

My Ideal Home:
Shadow and Hope need a quiet home filled with unconditional limitless love, comfort, safety and respect.
They love places to hide and feel safe. Rooms with large windows, sliding glass doors or balcony with a view would make them so happy. They must be kept inside. The cattery has been lovely for them.
The best home would be one where they can run free in all the rooms, not being restricted.
The girls both love our dog but he is quiet and non threatening so a furdog sibling wouldn't be entirely out of the question. As too a furcat sibling. This would need to be a good match.
It will be so important to choose the right home for them, as to unsettle them more than once would be detrimental to their progress. ***$180 Pair

What is Known About My Background:
Shadow arrived at the pound very pregnant after being captured. Being still very young herself, she gave birth to 4 babies but unfortunately, only one was to survive. Hope.
Hope was growing everyday, but mum Shadow was her only companion. Their small cage was to become home for the next 9 months. With Shadow being very protective of Hope and scared herself, it was assumed that the mother and daughter were "feral". They were used to having their litter changed daily and fed, but no more.
Shadow and Hope came to live in our home in July 2022, and are ready for their very own family.

Present day, and Hope sleeps in our bed and lets us pat her off to sleep, absolutely adores our dog, whom she lays next to on the bed, and is everyone's best friend. She is still apprehensive about being picked up. She is a little talker as well.

Shadow, is now also eating upstairs with all the other animals and comes up when it is quiet, either at night or throughout the day to have a sticky beak around. She announces her arrival at our bedroom door each morning suggesting we may get up and feed her. She rolls o Dr and shows us her beautiful black and white belly. She still listens to my stories and gives me “cat kisses" Cats convey affection toward humans. The subtle cat slow blink is a surefire way to know your cat loves and trusts you. This is when your cat looks at you with soft eyes and slowly blinks. It helps alleviate stress and shows the care. I love this. It is my favourite "Shadow thing".

I feel very close to Shadow even though I have never touched her. I think we are special friends.
Someone will get that elusive cuddle one day and the feeling will be just magical.

How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
Both Shadow and Hope are great with other cats, our dog and our grandchildren. That being said, they don't interact with the grandkids, they simply don't go near them visiting children are fine. They seem to know that we don't let the kids run at or near them and trust us to do the best by them, however, I don't think small children would be good for the girls as they are still nervous at times and as we know children can be quite loud and rough. An older child or children with patience would be great for the girls.
