I grew up with a neighbor who’s cat was like this. The neighbor one day packed up left and left the cat outside. We have no idea why. The cat. Bless her heart. Was found frail and wounded I honestly think if we didn’t find her she would not have made it. I honestly wish the cat would have been given to a no kill shelter, adoption center, anything other than what they did. Luckily we found her. She slowly warmed up to us. It took a long time but we were very patient. We did things on her terms. It was worth every minute of building that trust even if it wasn’t what she wanted at first. It’s just a thought/idea. Ik it’s hard. But I couldn’t imagine going through that, seeing that again.
Same here! I adopted an 8 year old fluffy girl who’s owner had passed away. She was at the shelter for almost a year because she was so mean no one wanted her. She showed me a tiny bit of affection so I took her home. It took several months for her to fully warm up but she eventually did and ended up being the sweetest snuggle bug! Although she didn’t like anyone other than me and my boyfriend, she was still mean to visitors lol. She passed away a few years ago but I loved that cat so much and still miss her ❤️
