Ciciley

Ciciley just turned ONE, which feels like a pretty good time to mention that she has been in foster care for about six months and is finally ready to go home.<br/><br/>When Ciciley came to us from the Oakville colony, she was incredibly scared and, in true feral-cat fashion, she had decided that the best defense was to make herself a little scary too. Honestly, fair. It worked outside.<br/><br/>Her foster parents, however, had other plans. They have spent the last six months patiently helping Ciciley figure out that humans are not the worst thing ever. And she has made so many milestones along the way. Her foster parents can now pet her AND pick her up, which may not sound particularly exciting until you know where this girl started.<br/><br/>She absolutely loves other cats, especially playful ones, and we're pretty sure having a feline friend will be important for her.<br/><br/>She is also currently learning about brushing because apparently she did not receive the memo that long-haired cats are supposed to participate in their own grooming. She has beautiful, luxurious hair and absolutely no interest in maintaining it.<br/><br/>The best part? We've watched this former feral go from terrified and defensive to actually enjoying being a kitten. She plays, she hangs out with her cat friends, she lets her foster parents love on her.<br/><br/>Ciciley is spayed, vaccinated, F/F negative, and ready for a home that will continue giving her the patience and understanding she needs to keep blossoming.<br/><br/>She doesn't need to be the cat who immediately runs up to greet your guests or demands attention. She just needs someone who understands that trust is a process and who is willing to let her be a little weird about it.<br/><br/>She has spent the last six months finding her footing, now we'd really like to see her find her forever. Preferably somewhere with another cat who is willing to help her cause a reasonable amount of chaos.
