We've been wanting one for a long time, and we decided to rescue one from a shelter. She's 6 years old, but very small-- actually the size of about a 5 to 7 month old kitten (read: VERY CUTE). The only thing is that she has had a very traumatic last couple of months after losing her owner (apparently to brain cancer) then being abandoned in a parking lot, being picked up by the shelter, spayed, getting teeth removed and then entering the stressful shelter environment. Needless to say, she's a little skeptical of her new home and environment. Basically she's been under the couch for the last 48 hours. However, we HAVE made progress in that I have gotten her to eat a couple of times and this morning when I woke up I realized she had ventured out from under the couch in the middle of the night to finish off her dry food. All the articles I've read online say to literally leave them totally alone and just go about your daily business just making sure they have food, water and litter. So that's what I'm doing (even though I just want to grab her and make her love me!!!) It's so nice and exciting to have a companion while hubby is gone. Here are some pictures of our new family member; more updates to come! Also, in the next post, my Birchbox review for this month!

ReplyDeleteYes! I forgot to put it in the blog post, haha. I literally have just been calling her "kitty" but her REAL name is Tootsie :)
