One year ago today, a friend and I went to try to trap a pregnant cat that my coworker said was in her yard. We found her, very pregnant, skinny, and competing against a skunk for the rights to a shed. We set the trap. She was in it within minutes.

We put her in my bathroom...she flew around that room like she was auditioning for The Matrix. Five days later she gave birth to five kittens. I fostered all of them, and they all found their forever homes.

I continued to socialize JinJin, who has shown herself to be brave, smart, funny, and sweet. Just like the beautiful siggy that Karen (abbysmom) made me says, she went from feral to family. She's my girl now, and we celebrate her one year Gotcha Day!

Congralulations to both of you! I remember following the the JinJin thread and always enjoy seeing the pictures of one of the prettiest cats here! I'm so glad she found a wonderful forever home with you!

JinJin and I thank you all for your kind words and congratulations.


It just doesn't seem like a year, but I look at how far she's come, and I know it must be that long. I can't wait to see the changes another year will bring for her!

Happy Gotcha Day JinJin! Look at how much your life has changed in just one year...going from the outside world where everything was a threat and where you had to search for every meal, to being a spoiled part of a loving family.


Kelly, I know you have already, and do every day - but enjoy every day with this precious girl. Gaining the trust of a feral is a gift, and one to cherish every day. The pictures in your signature really show how far she has come with your love and patience. JinJin will continue to amaze you with her continued progress in trust and learning how to be a cat and truly learning how to love.
