Lucky, certainly lives up to his name!
On the right a photograph of when he was rescued, a feral kitten who was tempted into his rescue cage by some tasty food.
On the left as he is now, not even a year later, staying with me and his three siblings, Teddy, Pebbles and Bing and loving his food just as much!
This is his first time away and at first the feral that will always be a part of him when he is scared was very much to the fore. I let him hide for two days. Keeping an eye on him on the CCTV camera to check that he was coming out in the dark to eat, which he was.
Then it was time to block the access to the back of the drawers up and for him to learn that it was okay. I was okay and he could trust me.
And thankfully that day with a lot of patience he decided that although he wasn’t sure what quite was going on he would let me hand feed him treats.
It is so rewarding it’s hard to describe 🥰
He still has the entire top of inside of the wardrobe, his safe space, where he sleeps with his brother Bing, who is also shy. But now he comes down to play and eat his treats and have a fuss.
What a beautifully natured cat, who had an awful start to life, but thanks to a very lovely family, is now loving life 😻❤️
