What a beauty! We rescued six feral kitties over the years...loved everyone of them! We’d take the feral kittens, wrap them in a towel like a kitty burrito, and pet their heads until they got used to us! We just lost our sixth feral after 18 years of love! This is Sophia.....miss her terribly.
Sophia is lovely, and 18 years is an incredible age for a feral. There is something very rewarding about taming a feral kitten, realizing you've just opened a little window in their brain. I too have done my share. I don't think Leaf was ever a feral--she ran right to us when we knelt down and called her, even though she emitted a hiss and a few spits before she climbed up on my leg. I believe she was just alone and frightened, but not for long.
