Shadow is quiet and gentle. I usually groom him with a lion's cut but am letting his fur grow back in for the cold months. Hes approximately 4 years old and neutered. He is on the shy side but will come to you once he gets settled. I rescued him from someone that spent 3000.00 for him as a kitten and left him outdoors! Please be familiar with this breed! They are indoor cats! Shadow is litter box trained. He is on the small side. Any questions please contact me.
