Well, it's more than a matter of bringing a cat(s) home.

It's about isolation and slow integration.

P.M. me if you want all the details,


Also, I think you are on the right track by looking at males for Shadow.
Now, try and think of the more laid back type cats, such as the Snowshoe and Flame Point Siamese males. (available at shelters and rescue orgs.)

There are definite tendencies having to do with markings and colors of cats to consider. Many tend to fall into personality categories based on their markings.

Mixed genders is a good rule of thumb, not to say that same sex placements won't work, but there can be issues that arise due to territory, etc.


I don't think you've given it a fair try yet, with Shadow

Best of Luck
