Update Post 💚🌿UPDATE🌿Jenny (AVAS labeled extremely feral/fractious!) after a few days in rescue. This is how most cats are labeled at AVAS, (80% plus) kept from public view & blocked from rescue efforts! This is NOT a feral cat. 💚🌿
Jenny was labeled feral and shelter staff claimed she could not be handled. After difficult negotiations she was rescued and this what we see. Judge for yourself. Feral or friendly and adoptable? Ridiculous! Jenny is lovely and needs a family. Please share her. Thank you everyone who pledged to save her! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚💚💚🌿

We recently fostered two “ferals”.
One is FIV+ and is in his own room until his adopter comes in a few weeks. He lives in my work from home office, and sits next to me all day in a chair. He loves his pets now, but still only in the right way.
The other one…she won’t let me stop petting her. She wants belly rubs, and if I stop and walk away, she sprints and grabs my leg with both paws and just hangs on to me. Very feral! (I think this one is a foster fail…)
