After years of cats who got along very well together, we rescued a beautiful black cat who turned out to be quite a challenge.
Background - we live about 2 blocks from an animal shelter with a large undeveloped area between it and our housing development. When some people find out that the shelter will only keep the cats a couple of days before they kill them, they elect to just drop the cats off in the desert.
Unfortunately the desert contains many hazards, for domestic cats, from hungry coyotes to snakes, spiders and scorpions. Most cats have never had to feed and fend for themselves. It is a tough and cruel existence and most do not make it.
We have a cat who came over our wall a couple of years ago. She was so thin, almost hairless from
a bad diet and she was hurt. At first she would not let me near her and ran with pain, if I tried. I started feeding her, because I did not want her to die in our yard and she was too hurt to leave or hunt. She quickly figured out that the yard was a safe haven.catcat healthcat suppliescat training
