Success Story

Cora

December 2022
Adopted by Eve
"

Cora came to us from a colony in Ogmore Vale that had another 10 cats. As the cats were not neutered or spayed the colony kept growing we collected over 30 kittens from there. Cora gave birth to one of her litters outside whilst at the colony but due to harsh weather the kittens did not survive. In August 2021 Cora was successfully brought in to the rescue after 18 months of tireless work to try and trap her, where she went to the cattery to begin socialisation. Cora proved herself to be a truly timid cat in every sense of the word. She refused all human contact and would regularly lash out and bite. Once neutered she was moved to her foster home in June 2022 for further socialisation and desensitisation to an indoor household environment. In the foster home she was in a crate for 2 weeks to climatise to her new environment. Once out of her crate socialisation continued downstairs only for 3 months and then she was allowed full access to the whole home. Once fully socialised she was adopted to a lovely couple who allowed Cora to settle with them in her own time where she is now a full time lapcat. WHAT A TURN AROUND! We turned Coras hisses into kisses!
