That is great news! Does your vet still recommend keeping her separated from your cats?

And yes, until she gets her retest in 2 months!

She should remain negative. I'm happy for you guys!

So just after the new year. Time should go quickly with all the holiday rush stuff.

Congratulations to you all! I am so glad you have her. She is so pretty. I hope you will update us on how the three cats get along. I have 3 cats, integrating them all took some time but, I finally have my peaceful kingdom. It is great and I am sure you will be so happy you took Skye in.

This is our solution for now to try and curb her carpet ripping. Cutting mats from walmart and duct tape! I hope it lasts because if it doesn't she' has to live 2/3 of her day to in a cat playpen. Skye has been keeping my bf up at night and he can't function like that any longer.

On another note she seems to really like the food we're feeding her. High quality canned and raw!

Try wearing her out before bedtime by playing with her with a wand toy for about 30 minutes.

She should do better when she can be with the other cats in the whole apartment full-time.

Hang in there!

When grace was a kitten this is what I used to do ! Play for half hour min then she’d sleep

7 long weeks later, her IFA came back negative!! We let her out for a little bit.

That's wonderful news! How has she adjusted to your home? Will you keep her now?

 

[Shane Kent]

I am a very teary eyed right now, that is awesome news. This actually brought teats to my eyes. What awesome news for you and your bf. What a good mid week, yucky Canadian Winter pick me up. Thanks for sharing the update. Best of wishes to you and yours.

Relieving news...good stuff! ....and she's exploring! Fantastic!

 

[kittyluv387]

Yes my bf wants to keep her still so she is joining the family! This is the best christmas present we could get! We have been really agonizing over this.

She's quite outgoing and is happily exploring without being skittish. My 2 boy kitties want to get to know her but unsurprisingly she's not having any of that right now. Yes i know that's not proper intros but i believe everything will turn out fine. I'll post some pics of them later when they all get along.

 

[bigbadbass]

Congrats! Love these heartwarming, successful endings! A new member of the family....safe, sound and secure.

 

[Sarthur2]

She must be so delighted to be out of the cage finally - thank you!

Sometimes we plan on doing "proper introductions," but our cats have different ideas lol. The last feral kitten I took in was in a room by herself with the door closed and a baby gate installed on the outside of the closed door. Cupcake was still recovering from spay surgery a few days prior, but somehow managed to pry the door open with her paw and jump that baby gate and made her way downstairs to a living room chair. She was tiny, female, and very scared and my other four cats never bothered her, and her big brother from an earlier litter immediately adopted her. So she kind of fell into the deep end of the pool with introductions. Sometimes it works out that way

msaimee I love that picture you paint...can directly relate...Bug immediately took to Princess when brought in. Don't know for sure, but believe they are somehow closely related. She fully integrated into household in no time, with help of the Bug. So good to witness, from their viewpoint, you know that they feel secure, important to integration. They are basically inseparable, which I don't dissuade at all.

There are times their feral tendencies are obvious, they want to be left alone, untouched. After their outdoor, starving experiences, i yield to their wishes and leave them be. Admittedly, other times I spoil them rotten, too. they deserve no less.

Well here they are, big brother and little sister. He bosses her around, but she adores him.
