Mr. Shadow has found a home! His new owner came by about 30 minutes ago and picked him up - YAY! My upstairs neighbor, whose been helping me take care of him since he’s been outside and watches him when I go out of town, talked a friend of hers into taking him. Jack’s been here many times over the course of the year that Shadow’s been around, so he knows his quirky personality and he likes him! Jack is retired and has a big house, so he’ll be around to keep him company a lot and Shadow will have lots of room to run around in (as opposed to being sectioned off in 2 rooms of my little apartment). And now Miss Mewkitty can finally have full access to her whole house again and not have to stay locked up in the bedroom/bathroom/laundry room! Hopefully now she won’t be as stressed and will start eating better and put some weight back on. I can already tell she’s so much happier! As hard as it’s been on all of us, I sure am gonna miss that little guy, though. But I’m very thankful and grateful that he’s found a good home! Thank you to everyone here who tried to help out and offered ideas and advice. I thought you guys would all like to know the good news. ---

_joins in the cheering_ Oh, thank goodness that this tale had a happy ending. One cat who can now run around, one ‘owner’ who will now have a bundle of fur, love, and exasperation to help occupy their life and time. * * * \<\< Windows: How many times do you want to reinstall today? \>\> [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/desperate-plea-to-all-l-a-cat-lovers/90360.md?page=1)
