Hi! My name is Matilda. Pretty name isn't it? My foster mom says it fits me well.
I came to Ruff Start after I was trapped with several other feral cats on a farm. They spayed and neutered, vaccinated and tipped our left ears. I was supposed to be released back to the farm, but a nice lady who trapped me, wanted me to at least try the indoor life since I was still young. I had never been handled until coming to my foster home. I seen humans on the farm, but they did not interact with us.
I am learning what its like to live in house, with humans. My foster mom makes sure to handle me every day, meaning to pet me, talk to me, and hold me for as long as I let her. But its a start. I used to only allow her to touch me with one finger to pet me, and most times I ran, but now I allow her to use her whole hand. I don't stay for a long time, but I do keep on eye on her, and follow her where ever she goes. I have come far enough to not run when people come into the room, but I do not like others to touch me, although my foster mom sometimes makes me let others pet me. Its not so bad, but its very scary at first, and sometimes I hiss!
I don't like to cuddle, but I have fallen asleep with in inches of my foster mom, but don't think I don't sleep with one eye open haha!
