At the kitty's beck and call
One year ago, our little (former) feral/stray Adelaide found our garden.

We fed her every night and after about three weeks, I managed to entice her into the conservatory to eat her evening meal. As October wore on and the evenings grew colder, we really wanted to get her inside away from the frost and the fireworks that go off everywhere in November. So, one cold November evening, she came inside for her dinner and the doors slammed shut behind her.

It has been a long journey, getting her from the kitty who was scared to be in the same garden as a person, to being a kitty that is not frightened of us anymore.

Since then she has been with us, she is happy and settled and although she goes outside during the daytime, never leaves our garden.

This marks her 1 year anniversary in our home.


Happy 1 year anniversary Adelaide

We love you so very much and are so happy that you decided to share our home

Happy Anniversary Addie and Beth!

I remember the struggles you had with proving to this kitty that she was safe inside your home. Although the initial thread was lost in the Great Crash, from December onward is still here for those who weren't around to see Addy's amazing progress: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38230

She's a very special kitty, with a very special family.

I was just revisiting the thread Heidi posted. It's really amazing what progress she made in such a short time.

Thank you all for sharing in Adelaide's special anniversary day with us. She has had a beautiful day snoozing under the holly tree - it's full of berries and therefore full of birdies - her favourite place
. Thank you so much for your kind words, we're so happy she trusted us to look after her when she was so scared.


Heidi - thank you for linking to her thread and for your lovely thoughts. Thanks go also to Tracy, Chris, Abbysmom, Pushylady, Stephanie, Amy, Jcat, DazeeMazeeGraze, Susan and Fran

Happy Anniversary Adelaide. You may not have started out life under the best circumstances, but look at you now! You're healthy happy and contented and well loved. You are now one of the luckiest kitties in the UK.
