Salty came to us
as a young cat
through Oak Hill Rescue on the south side of
Austin. He lives in Cookie’s
Place since he has feline leukemia. You’ll often
see him on the KittyCam, but he really loves
basking in the sun on the outside deck in nice
weather, so he spends a lot of time out there
during the day. Life at Shadow Cats seems to
agree with Salty – he’s gained several pounds
since he’s been living with us, and has a thick
lustrous coat.
Salty craves
attention but can sometimes be a little bit
shy. As soon as you sit on the couch, you’ll find
several cats jumping up there with you. After
you’re thoroughly covered in cats, if Salty is
in the room you’ll see him come over and stand
there, looking wistfully up at you. Over
the years he's become less shy, and these days
will often climb across the back of the couch
and wait for an opening to slip into your lap.
With all
the boisterous personalities in Cookie's Place,
Salty can be easy to overlook. But he's a
sweet, calm guy who gets along with everyone.
He's one of the longest term residents of
Cookie's Place, having come here in 2007, and is
living proof that cats with feline leukemia can
enjoy wonderful lives if given a chance.
And the safe, loving environment of the Shadow
Cats sanctuary is just what this guy needed to
really thrive and live the life he truly
deserves.
