Our fosters have a process here: we put them in a cage in the living room for a while so they can get used to us, our foster animals and just get used to the way we do things. It helps speed up the process. Then, once everybody gets along our fosters are loose more and more.. so they can begin to trust people again. She is adjusting quickly - and already gets along with ALL of our cats. She hasn't played with them yet but they share bowls and play areas and bedding, too.
Poor Destiny... she's been with her family for almost 6 years now. What I was told by her human dad is that they won't put a litter box in the house, instead they kept it in the garage. Normally that would be fine except that that is also the pool house / game room. So, there is lots of noise and loud people in there all the time. But Destiny needs a quiet place to use a litter box (and they know this).. but the family, because they had another human baby, won't put a litter box in the house for her. That meant she had accidents because she was just too terrified to go out into the garage, even if she had to use the litter box.
So, she's with us now!
She's very overweight, probably from nervous eating and hiding at their house. She loves people but doesn't love loud noises (like pool balls smacking together or ball games on the TV.)
Though I think she's already losing weight... because she's absolutely heartbroken and wouldn't eat at all! She has been with her family for almost 6 years - and now she's with strangers, in a strange home and she has no idea why.
She's so soft-spoken and SO sweet! She LOVES to be held. In fact, if you put her in your lap and start petting her she grabs onto your neck and shoulders and cuddles. She wants more! She'll let you brush her for hours, if you want.
What a sweetie!
She just needs a family that will put her needs first sometimes and not always think about their own. Trust me, she's worth it!
