Beezus is the mom of the litter of kittens found together in the Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento. You would never know from her tiny stature or obvious youth that she was a mother of four!
It’s clear that Beezus has never been part of a home, but unlike many ferals she isn’t at all aggressive. Even from the first day we brought her home she would tolerate us petting her in a cat carrier with nothing more than some hissing. Once she was totally healed from her spay surgery, we decided to try letting her out in the house to see how she would do.
In the several months as her kittens grew up, she has gotten used to the flow of the home and has realized that maybe humans aren’t so bad. She spends most of her day in the same room as us and eagerly comes out for treat times or to just play with the other young cats. Seemingly all at once, she decided that she was a cat that likes pets too and we now can pet her for long periods. She’s still a little easy to startle but never reacts badly. She couldn’t care less about the dogs and will just stand in her spot as they walk by or even come up and sniff her. Any more than that is a little too much though.
We’re going to work with Beezus a little longer, but we think she’ll be a lap cat ready for a forever home in the near future. Let us know if you think that home is yours!
