California is one of 4 kittens, born to a feral mama, that were found before the kittens were weaned, at around 4 weeks old. Mama was found dead. We were able to finally trap and secure the kittens in our "Cat House" and add them to the Piedmont Pound Paws, Inc. California is still a little timid but once she knows you, she warms up. One way to her heart is the food and a laser light. She’s made great strides, coming out to play with a laser and actually allowing the care taker to pick her up and pet her, purring and all. We figure she can and will be somewhat cautious in a new home, but sure that she will soon warm up, with a little patience, and then just go for it, possibly over night.
She is like most cats. She will do what she wants, when she is ready. And truthfully it was almost over night and after 2 of her siblings left for PetCo, that she warmed. So you gotta love her like we do...just because...and in no time at all she will be purring all over you.
