Happy 4th of July EVERYONE!
This brother and sister duo showed up a couple of days ago just in time for the fireworks and festivities.
Their story is actually quite sad though.
They were trapped and fixed but never released and remained in small cages separately for months until someone finally asked if we would socialize them.
Though we have a full house with the whole mess o' kittens we are presently socializing we couldn't say no to this pair.
When they got here there was no touching them.
They were terrified and you could literally see their skin tense and shiver every time we touched them.
They never hissed or growled or lashed out they just were unbelievably scared and unused to human touch...
It's been a few days now and after letting them get used to us giving them food and water and changing out their cages we have moved the two into the intake room where they can finally stretch their legs and lay out in the sun and sleep in a cat tree if they want.
It seems to have taken the edge off and they seem to be coming around.
Here are some pictures we just took and they seem much more relaxed and even let us pet them without any fear...
PROGRESS!
