In Memory of Tabitha 11/30/03 – 12/5/16
Tabitha, born in 2003, began life as a community cat at one of our colonies. She was trapped, socialized and soon adopted. She remained in her new home until one of her guardians passed and she was returned to Shadow Cats. For the last six years, Tabitha has lived well, sunning herself in the morning rays and basking in all of the affection and love the volunteers and Nannies could give her. She was extremely happy when anyone gave her chicken bits and she hovered over any missed pieces from the other cats. Nothing got by her! Tabitha was a gentle and shy girl, but given attention and love, she often found her way to sit close to you to get her coat brushed and her chin scratched.
Tabitha has been struggling with chronic renal insufficiency for several years and finally reached a point where more treatments, more fluids and more intervention would no longer be a kindness. With her beautiful eyes and her sweet nature, she assured us she has had enough, she is ready to leave us.
Today, surrounded by loving hearts, we have honored that unspoken request and held her close as she crossed over. Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and nannies that made her life so much better. Rest easy Tabitha – you are loved.

Delilah came to us as an adult many years ago and while she never found her own adoptive home, she settled in well at Shadow Cats. With all the black cats here, she distinguished herself with her single white whisker- not to mention she was one of the sweetest personalities in the Uptown area. She welcomed many new residents at Shadow Cats over the years. She occupied laps and enjoyed time with volunteers and staff.
