16 Jan, 2012 - NERVOUS CATS LOVE TOO!!!
Due to the type of work the RSPCA carries out, such as rescuing abandoned and stray animals, removing animals from what can be very unsuitable homes, and even rescuing abused or neglected animals. It does mean that a lot of the cats we have in our care have had very poor upbringing, where they have not only had competition for food but also very little love and attention.
These cats all need our help, yes they may take a little longer than most to settle into a new home, but with a little extra love and time they will blossom and grow into fantastic companions. The really good news is that these cats make fantastic companions to other cats. they love their company and will learn how to act and to do things from an existing cat. Including how to get you wrapped round their little paw!
When Custard Cream came into our care she was already 5 mths old, she came from a multi cat household, where we have dealt with over 50 cats so far. As with many cats from this sort of environment Custard Cream was very nervous and used to being handled. usually there are a couple of cats in these sorts of homes, the original cats, who are nice and friendly, then with every subsequent litter born, the cats get less and less handling from their owners and are more and more nervous.
This is Custard Creams story…..
