almost cried (in a good way) on the phone interview abt this cat we're looking to adopt bc she is sooooo sweet, a 6 year old former feral cat who has had the worst luck w homes, prev adopters didn't introduce her properly to their old cat and got frustrated w/ her being human shy etc, shes been at

If she was an adult feral and someone tried to rehome her, it NEVER went well. If he/she has bonded with you, it will be more complicated. I've successfully rehabilitated at least 8 animals. I could give some pointers if you're intrested.

I would only take her to a shelter. Being in rescue, I've seen the damage of cats being used as training fighting dogs. Don't put her in that situation. Please, please don't.

Thank you for letting me know. I've had to get after a few ppl who were trying to find animals new homes. They just don't understand what they are doing.

yeah for real.... i think ppl are way too careless adopting cats even *from* shelters, let alone trapping. i was very upset just hearing someone tried to adopt this sweetheart and then gave up because she was human shy and "took too long to warm up" when ofc she does, shes a former feral 😭

Yeah, see, they're everywhere. That would've wound me up. Ppl used to tell me that I'd make a good cop. I was thinking at one time of joining the ASPCA, so I would be the enforcer. I think I may have been really aggressive, too aggressive. So I never checked into it.

i hope so too!! but koshka was in a foster home w someone who had a cat of their own and got along, she was described as "fine with other cats or alone" so i do think if we r very patient and careful abt the process they'll be fine ❤️❤️❤️
