Indy was born on 4/20/11 to a feral calico i'd been trying to catch for about 2 years to spay. She had the litter under my next door neighbors porch, and was accessing the kittens through a VERY SMALL hole. There was absolutely no way we could get them out. Week after week i'd follow her hoping for some sort of access to them with no luck. Then one night as I was sitting at my computer i heard the cat door flap and turned around, there Indy sat underneath my table looking wide-eyed and terrified. The feral momma brought back the other three one by one- a litter of 4 beautiful kittens. 8 weeks old, all hissing, no socialization at all, scared to death. Luckily her bringing the litter to us also allowed us to get a little closer to momma- and I was able to catch her and get her spayed so this was her last litter!!! Eventually we found homes for 2 of the kits in the litter, but no one was interested in Indy or his sister.
He used to be very frightened, him being feral up until he was 8 weeks old definitely affected his socialization skills. Luckily, after we got him neutered he turned a complete 180, and now his favorite thing to do is lay next to us all day while he rolls on his back to make us scratch his belly. That's his absolute favorite. He's by far the shyest, most quiet, and timid cat i've ever had but he's a big ole lover. The pictures where his fur looks funny is from us shaving his matts off [he's obviously not very well at grooming himself lol]
