How’s about a little smile from Mango to get you through the middle of the week? 😸 This sweet gal spends a lot of her time resting in a bed but she’s earned the right to do so. Her life started on the streets near Houston as a community cat.

CORALINE TURNS 2 TODAY! 😻🎆🎉 A FeLV+ resident in Cookie's Cottage, Coraline definitely keeps the rest of these guys on their toes. One second, she'll approach one of her roomies looking for love, and the next, she's batting at them. It's her world, and we're just living in it!

Bailey just found out you haven’t supported her room for our Shadow Cats On Parade fundraiser… and well her face says it all. Let’s make this sweet tuxie’s frown turn upside down and support hers or any of the other rooms! Check the link in our profile for more info 💚

Tabbytha is thinking of sleeping in for Sunday. And honestly? She may have the right idea 💚 Call it the Tao of Tabbytha™️

It's that time of the week, happy Caturday folks! 🍀✨🌈 Dexter, Bruce, Enzo, and Callie are some of the Sanctuary's sweetest of sweethearts. Dexter came to us as a FeLV+ kitten, went through a brief edgy teenager phase, but now seeks out love where ever he can get it!

It’s Friday, so it’s time to look at the sanctuary through the lens of our staff 💚 They managed to capture: Greta looking beautiful (easy) Zoey out of her cubby hole (extremely difficult!) Arnold and Snarky relaxing (medium) And Vance with his plethora of toys (😻) Happy Friday, friends!

Why did the cat run away from the tree? Because it was afraid of the bark! A little hump day humor from Marigold, that admittedly made her laugh a little too hard 😹 We hope your week is going as happily as Mari’s 💚

We are so sorry to be posting two memorials in one week, but we wanted to share the unfortunate loss of our sweet warrior girl: Nettie. She was one of those cats that touched any soul that crossed her path. Despite only having her in our care for 5 months, we would move mountains for her.

We present to you the fuzzy feet of Kevin! This tabby boy looks pretty wild, and we love him for that 💚 Kevin is one of our recent additions and came to the sanctuary because of his feline leukemia positive status. Settling in just fine, he’s become quite the love bug and all around popular guy😼

We never know how long they will be a cat will stay with us. With Pikachu sadly, we knew it wouldn’t be long. But it was more important to let feel all the love he could for his last days. In Memory of Pikachu 5/10/2017-9/3/2026 Please head to our Facebook Page to read Pikachu's full memorial 💚

Caturday is here once again! 💚 Coraline, Crinkle Fry, Goji, and Kevin have their schedules cleared for some pampering, and you should too! 💆‍♂️But, uh, it looks like Cora's eyeing up our crops... What are your cats up to this weekend? 😸

We have another new resident at the Sanctuary! We ask that everyone gives a warm welcome to Kevin McCallister! 😻🥹

Folks, it's been too long since we've mentioned him, and therefore we must give him a whole day -- Welcome To Willie Wednesday! The first reaction most folks have to William is, 'this cat isn't real,' or 'that's a muppet!'

Tabbytha just checked the pantry and it's looking no good! 🙀 To keep all of our Shadow Cats happy and well-fed through September, we need 30 cases of food for 30 days! Can you help? Every donation makes a huge difference! Amazon - buff.ly/zSQvrWt%E2%8... Chewy - buff.ly/nLktJ4O

With September rolling in, the rest of us might be preparing for Fall. Not the ladies of Cookie's Cove! Nettie, Ebi, and Pudding are still lounging like Summer is just in our midst🌴🐚 Ebi's currently the only kitty to use the new swing, but maybe that's because no one else dares to take her spot!

Shadow Cats @shadowcats.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

We're starting the week with another set of photos captured by our staff! Nettie in the mouth of a great white... that doesn't stand a chance against her 😼 Pickle snuggled up in a blanket 😻 Hit the 🧵 for two more!

Today we have a couple of cats who were just informed Caturday is over and that in less than a day, they have to go back to work. Stitch and Snarky are two of our more uniquely patterned friends at the sanctuary. First let's talk Stitch after the jump!

Happy Caturday y'all! 💚Josie, Ebi, and Miguel are all a little groggy, taking in some sun to recharge! Tabbytha, on the other hand, is still raring to go from last night's shenanigans! 😹 We hope everyone's having a great weekend! 🥳

Happy Friday from our rugged little cowboy, Arnold 🤠🌵 You'll always know when Arnold is around. Due to a paralyzed vocal chord, he sounds exactly like a pigeon - it's uncanny. But when he starts purring, you'd think we'd have started a car in the middle of Oasis😹 We love you, Arnold! ❤️‍🔥

How’s this for hump day? Staffer Abby has her very own Enzo hump! Normally a pretty shy guy, Enzo hails from our feline leukemia population. His dilute orange coat is quite a standout color 😻

Dorian enjoyed his Caturday in a box 📦 Thanks to our donors, we get a few packages here and there. And even better than the food and treats inside, we get a healthy inventory of empty boxes for cats like Prince Dorian to lounge around 😻

It's Thursday, Friday Eve. Are you keeping things crossed like Petunia, or letting your legs dangle like Cora? There's only one way to do Friday correct, so who has the best approach?? 💚 Both of them are experts at lounging. And with a cage free sanctuary as their home, they can lounge wherever!

Look, it's hump day and for no particular reason, we are making direct eye contact with the camera. 1st, there's Clementine. Intense looks are kinda of her thing 😼 Then there's Bruce. Bruce is what happens when a teddy bear is granted a wish to become a cat 😸 See more in 🧵

Tammy Faye! It's your 13th birthday, don't roll your eyes at us! 🎂 From a former community cat turned sanctuary resident of our Wild Side room, Tammy Faye has been a shy girl, but she's becoming adventurous. She's letting a few volunteers and staff show her affection. To win trust from her is 💚

Ol' KitKat, stomping around the Oasis catio again 😹 This sweet gal is always on the move. Perhaps she's searching for her next meal or she's running towards a pair of hands that can get her all the pets and scritches she wants! Either way, she'll get what she wants because we all love KitKat!
