Queen Of Hearts kitty rescue by Elizabeth Watsonville, CA

14. Making friends is one of the fun challenges about stray feral cats.

We had a feral cat who took up residence and promptly delivered kittens. No one could approach her and she was genuinely afraid of people. We did capture her kittens and adopted them to good homes. That did not go over well with our heroic Mama Cat, she saved them once in a torrential rain. Her heart breaking cries when we took the kittens told us she had no good reason to trust people. Capturing her to have her spayed did not help she literally disappeared for a month when we put her in the garage after surgery. It took three years I can pet her she seeks me out when I go outside going to the vet is the only rough spot. I am her protector from Tom cats and dogs she lets me know when something is wrong possums,deer, skunks, armadillos are not welcome in her space. Recently she even rubbed up against my daughter when she put out food. Our house cat is long gone Mama Cat is for me a new experience.
