I've had things 'ready for rescue', just in case, but had almost lost hope. I'm not going to rush it, though, because I don't want to spook the other kittens. Hopefully they will see that if their sibling is comfortable with me, they might give me a chance.

ready for you. You are doing a wonderful job with your new feral’s.

It's like they're thinking 'I should be afraid but that feels so GOOD!!!!!'

The little gray one is still keeping a distance but I'm not giving up.

Great job!

It takes a while to gain the trust of a wild animal of any species. Your efforts bear fruit!

by the way, it may be the angle, but. . .the size of those paws!

I still can't lure the gray one over but I won't give up.

I can feel his softness through my monitor.

You're doing such a great job, thank you for being there for the kitties.


I can relate to your feeling of accomplishment, it's taken about 2 years of small steps with our adopted feral but she's become a total love bug. I remember every "first" like the first time we heard her purr, the first time she jumped on the bed & slept with us (after about a year), the first time she got on the couch with us, & the first time she got on my lap, which was only about 6 weeks ago. Now that she knows lap is safe & being on lap means snuggles & pets, she's on my lap all the time. We keep telling her she used to be shy but she says we must have her confused with some other kitty.
