Scared Feral Kitten Trusts a Human for the First Time
New kittens arrived at the kitty house at the park. They were six siblings, all different colors and sizes. Five of them were super chill kittens, playful and cuddly, but one of them was scared and hissy.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little one. It was obvious that he had not had any human interaction before, and he was terrified of us. Every time we approached him, he would hiss and run away, hiding under the bed or behind a box.
On my watch, I knew that I couldn’t let this kitten become a feral cat. I had to do something to gain his trust and make him realize that humans could be kind and caring.
So, I decided to start by sitting next to him every day, speaking softly and offering him some treats. At first, he would ignore me and stare at me with his big scared eyes, but slowly he started to relax.
After a few days, he even allowed me to touch him gently, and he didn’t hiss anymore. I was thrilled! It felt like a huge accomplishment, and I knew that we were making good progress.
As the days went by, the kitten became more and more comfortable around us. He started to play with his siblings and even came to us for some cuddles and affection.
It was heartwarming to see such a scared and traumatized kitten transform into a happy and trusting one. It reminded me of the power of patience and love, and how important it is to give animals a chance to heal and recover from their past traumas.
