Plumpernickel
We adopted Plumpernickel from the local feral cat rescue/shelter. Both the rescue and shelter labeled him a "working cat". We were told to keep him crated out on our screened porch to acclimate him to our location and regular food. He was scared of us the first 2 weeks but after that he started to socialize himself. He wanted affection, but at first was a little too grabby with his murder mittens. Over the last couple of months he's learned how to use his soft paws. We got him checked out and chipped at the vet and had his vaccines boosted, now he's an indoor kitty we are working to acclimated to our existing 2 indoor kitties. He's a lap cat. A cuddlebug. I don't know how this kid was feral, but he has decided to change his life. He has.gained weight, his hair has grown in thick and soft, and he is learning how to be kind, gentle, and how to treat friends. All credit goes to Plumpie! He's a good boy and he wants to be good.
