SHADOW - has now found a new home and is very happy!
Norwegian Forest Cat Club Welfare
We recently found a wonderful new home for Shadow, pictured above - to read his story, see below:
Shadow is 8 years old and is a black smoke neutered boy.
He was not coping with the dominance of his feline companion which had increased in recent months. He was becoming increasingly stressed by this and would sometimes urinate where he shouldn't. He did not do this prior to being 'bullied' by his companion cat and we had hoped that he would be fine if we could just find him a new home with a nice, stress-free environment, where he could be the only pet. In his favour, we knew that he was a lovely affectionate boy.
He had lived in a home with an enclosed garden, and so we were looking for a
home away from roads as we were worried that he would have no road sense and
would not cope with the dangers of roads and traffic.
Shadow had an accident at 18 months, and had a fractured femur which was treated
and so he has a limp. At the same time he was found to have a heart problem
and since then, has daily medication which he takes with no problem, - no scratching
or biting. He will need this for the rest of his life.
It was a tall order but a safe, loving secure home was found for Shadow with
lots of love on tap, a bit of patience and the companionship that this lovely
boy deserves.

About the NFCC Welfare Section
The Club has developed a Welfare section whose aim is to help any Norwegian Forest Cat in distress. We have run many fund-raising events so as to be in a position to pay for veterinary treatment of rescue cats. We now have two Welfare Officers: Pat Stewart, who has held one of these posts since its inception, and now Mary Rose Douglas who has stepped in to give Pat a most welcome helping hand. Pat has helped to give many Norwegian Forest Cats a happier life and we hope to continue this for many years to come should the need arise. We have volunteers across the country who from time to time are called upon to check out new homes and provide transport for needy cats. We also have cat pens available for temporary rehoming in emergencies. However it's best if an unwanted cat moves straight from its original home to the new one, to avoid disruption. The Welfare section always welcomes offers of good homes or donations to help us continue to assist cats when necessary.
Many thanks go to all of you who have contributed over the years to the Welfare Fund, in particular, those people who add a little every year to their subscrition payment - these amounts really add and are very much appreciated. Without those all important donations we would not be in a position to help these lovely cats.
If you are interested in giving a loving home to Norwegian Forest Cat then please contact:
Doreen Dobson on: 01937 835876 / 07984 596921 or Mary Rose Douglas on: 01268 551082 / 07910 688539
