She's STILL hissing when she sees us, and definitely doesn't run to the front of her cage with excitement or anything like that when we go to play with her or cuddle her, so she's still wary, but she's learning!

Last night while playing was the first time she has walked on the ground without being hunched down with her belly to the ground.

Awwwww, look at her little white toesies! She is so cute!!!


You are doing a great job. Her new mommy will love her, and I bet she'll be a great cuddler when you are through with her!

Bath tub playing is great for kittens - balls can be batted around, and they roll back, so keep on moving, and keeps them interested for longer. The can't get traction with their claws, so they learn coordination, and its plain fun!

AWw that was so wonderful to watch, I've been there, I've tamed like 10 kittens and it is so great to see their progress and how they learn to trust us, that little cutie sabrina is just adorable

Just an update:

The foster mum who took Sabrina when we went for our holiday has adopted her! Apparently she fell head over heels in love
She's fostered before and never adopted any of them, but obviously this little one was special
