"Mom just told me the ginger is now just Beau, not Beauregard, but still love the names. Going to go meet them today! …Their mom is a feral in my sister's neighborhood. Now that she caught the two babies, she's going to trap and spay momma kitty.
Momma kitty will have access to food and water so hopefully, a happy ending for all!"

"We've adopted our second cat and she's been hiding for over 8 hours now"

via u/nihilisticprick

"When we adopted her, we were told she is pretty shy. We've put her in her own room with food, water & a litterbox so she won't have the added stress of meeting our first cat. I'd be glad for any recommondations on how to acclimate her, as she didn' drink, eat or use the litterbox so far. When I gave her a treat she ate a bit of it and I can pet her, but she clearly seems uncofortable when I do it.
I know you have to be patient, especially with shy cats, but I also don't want to reinforce her shy behaviour."
