My first ferals



Jasmine
Jasmine and Cheddar came to me in October 2010. Both were trapped as ferals by Maria. But Cheddar - or Cheezie, as he's affectionately called - took no time at all to climb on my lap and try to adopt me. He was 3 months and Jasmine was 4 months old. She took much longer to accept me and I got to practice my feral-domesticating skills for sometime with Jasmine.
Cheezie was adopted in November, but Jasmine was with me until January 2011 because she was so fearful with visitors. Unfortunately, her adoption didn't "take," and she was returned to me in August, along with another young cat named Nuka, who'd been adopted as a playmate for her.
Nuka ingratiated himself with visitors so well that he was snatched up at a Petsmart adoption event in November, leaving Jasmine behind again.
But she finally found her forever-people in January 2012, and she has since become a lapcat which was so wonderful to hear!

  1. I bet taking in feral cats can be a tough challenge! But keep it up… Garden birds say “thank you!”
