Caturday or just… every day at Shadow Cats? 🤔 The debate continues, but Beauty, Snarky, Dixie, and Greta have reached peak relaxation. 😻 Who else is in full lounge mode this weekend? 💚 #Caturday #RelaxationGoals

Not all outdoor cats are lost—some are part of our communities! In our latest Q&A, we break down what to do if you find a kitten, how to tell if a cat needs help, and why TNR is so important. Watch the video and drop your questions below—we might answer them in a future post!

#ThrowbackThursday to tiny kitten Delilah! 😻 Now all grown up and thriving at the sanctuary. She may have FeLV, but that’s not stopping her from living her best life—soaking up love, sunshine, and chin scratches daily 💚 That kitten energy? Still going strong 🐾 #ThenAndMeow

Being the new kid on the block can be a bit exhausting 💤 Franklin has been getting lots of attention since arriving at the sanctuary and joining the ranks of Cookie's Annex. Lucky for him, he's in the 'calm' room of the sanctuary, so he has time to rest 😻 #FelvCats #CatLove

We are sad to inform you that our sweet Sir Alfred left us yesterday after his battle with cancer, with FeLV as its catalyst. Though our time with him was short, he filled every day with love, strength, and gratitude 💚 Please head to our Facebook page to read his full memorial.

It’s hump day, and this trio is on a mission! 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ Boo, Marshall, & Nori are marching straight for the camera—ready for a full-speed head bonk! Nothing beats the sight of a cat trotting your way. though in Boo’s case (at 18 years young), it’s more of a dignified shuffle!

😼 Catching Rays, Not Attitude ☀️🐾 Shadow II hopes that if you're in Central Texas you're enjoying some of this beautiful weather. Although the window seat is not always where we find Shadow, she does make an appearance here on occasion 😻 #ShadowCats #SunnySpot #RareSighting

😼 Uh oh folks, it's #TeefieTuesday ! And Nori is here to show you them teefs! 😻 If there's one thing you need to know about Nori it's that she's never short on chit chat. And along with a long meow to get your attention, she displays these pearly white fangs! 😹 #CatFangs

😾 It’s Monday. Again. 😾 Darby is personally offended that the weekend had the audacity to end. No more lazy naps, no more extra treats—just another Monday full of… well, whatever cats do. 😼 Who else is feeling Darby’s energy today? 😹💚 #ScowlOfTheWeek #MondayMood

😼 Josie's scowl after I told her it was Monday 😼 What job do you think Josie has to go back to? What could possibly make her deliver your Scowl of the Week with aplomb?? #KittyScowl #ScowlOfTheWeek #MondayMood #Mondays

When you thought you were the favorite… until you see THIS. 👀😾 Goji and Jiji getting all the attention, while Nori watches from afar, plotting her revenge… or maybe just waiting for her turn. Who else has a cat that gives this look when they’re not the center of attention?
