UPDATE 12-01-2011: After 6 months in their foster home Paddy is beginning to let me stroke him and enjoy it but Annie is still very shy.
Paddy and Annie are brother and sister silver tabby kittens. We need a very
special person to help us with these two kittens. They have been saved
from being euthanised in an Irish pound and are very beautiful but have
never been handled. The only time they have been touched is to be dumped
at the pound, then put into cages and had to endure a long journey.
I have been fostering them for two months and they are
no longer terrified. They are now relaxed in my company and do not hide
when I enter the room and will eat and wash when I am there. I can play
with them with a long wiggly toy about 2 feet away from them.
These two are special and have a gentle quality about them and need someone
who can spend time with them so that they can gain the trust with humans
that they should have been given as tiny kittens. Paddy will gently pat my
hand with his paw if I put food on my hand and Annie will sometimes lick it off.
I have had kittens like this in the past who with patience have grown into
wonderful cats who do learn to trust and really enjoy being with their owner
and give all the love they can, it is like they make up for lost time.
Once in their forever home they may go backwards to start with but should
come round more quickly as they have now experienced love and reassurance.
One of my current foster dogs really likes them and they like her - Paddy
will go up and they sniff each other nose to nose and he has played with the dog's tail.
Paddy and Annie get on well together and clearly love each other and
have great fun playing. They need a quiet, patient home without children with
somewhere that they can be kept safely indoors for as long as it takes for them to adjust. You will be rewarded you just need to have time and patience.
I am willing to consider separating them for the right home.
