Last week I posted about my two feral girls in my enclosure, I think a small step has been made and I am so thrilled, yesterday I wanted to put fresh straw in the Feralvilla shelter that they are constantly in. I carefully lifted the lid, talked softly to them as I always do, they both went underneath and I put fresh straw on the top floor.
I rarely see them, but do occasionally see Mia, she is the more feral of the two. This morning I went out a little earlier than usual and saw Olivia sitting on the second level if the cat tree! As I got closer to the enclosure, she jumped down and went into the shelter, but the fact that she was on the tree truly thrilled me! She wasn't pacing to find a way out, but sitting and enjoying her new surroundings. All I want is for them to feel safe and secure in there and know they will be fed and cared for to the best of my ability.
I know it is a small step, but I am so encouraged for them. I want them to be happy, not scared and living afraid in a shelter all of the time.
