wanted: someone to help socialize a cat in SF

[Guest guest]

10 month old cute, docile, quiet, black/grey/white cat

has a chance to be adopted. It has white chest and

white booties.

 

Can you help socialize the cat? If it is socialized

it can be adoptable, if not, it will be released as a

feral cat.

 

free Cat food and cat litter with box will be

included.

Last year, I rescued a 10 month old feral cat and tamed her. She has really

bonded with me, but will go nowhere near anyone else. The person that is

adopting the cat should really be the one to socialize her, and tame her. I have

had my cat since last November, and she is still very shy, and I work on

socializing her everyday. If you need advice or tips on socialization, I would

be happy to help.

As I said in my previous post, I am working with SFPC staff and

volunteer to help this 10 month year old FEMALE cat. (every situation

is DIFFERENT)

 

SPCA is not sure if the cat is adoptable. If she is able to

socialize, THEN she is adoptable.

 

Why adopt a cat if she is really a 100% feral cat?

 

I am just following orders.

Based on so many postings on pet adoptions, if anyone would like to

volunteer during the summer with the SPCA, please do.

 

By the way, I even posted to Craigslist, I haven't found any

volunteers to help socialize this cat.

 

In my neighborhood, we are fixing close to 20 cats in the fast 6

months. I personally feel it's a tough battle.

Good luck to all.

How true, about both statements.

 

About 9 years ago I went to the SPCA (San Francisco) in seach of a cat to

keep our other cat company.

 

The recommendations from the SPCA (San Francisco) was to choose " different

sex and younger " in regards to the cat to choose for our pre-existing female

Siamese.

 

I spotted a very well behaved, quite serene, seven month old tabby named

" Marvin. " After 3 months of not being able to pick the cat up I called the

SPCA back and they said: " Oh, the cat must have been feral!! " After being

told what feral means I asked how to " un-feral " the cat!! Well, it was then

told to me by the SPCA (San Francisco) that if a kitten/cat is not held and

pet and fondled in their first six months of life they more or less turn

feral per-se'.

 

Marvin has turned out to be a GREAT cat, friend and buddy although I still

have not ever been able to fully pick him up. Once I did actually pick him

up to my chest and I was wondering why he was sooooooooooooo heavy and it

was that he was soooooo terrified of being touched my humans that he had all

FOUR paws gripping the hallway runner and I had Marvin and the (throw_down)

hallway runner in my arms.

 

He is great with other cats and since our first siamese passed away Marvin

has played the big brother to another kitty, doing to the kitty what was

done to him, welcoming a new kitty home. Here are photos of the Marvin

with our old cat named " Peaches " and then with our new kitty named " Peachie "

I also adopted (actually, he adopted us), a semi-feral cat named Buddy. He was born in our front yard, was injured, and we nursed him back to health. He was about 8 months old at the time. He now lives with us, loves our other male, Happy, and sleeps with us! He is still a bit skittish around others and gets nervous if you get close to him when he doesn't expect it, but otherwise, he is wonderful and we are so happy that he joined our family. I work at Pets Unlimted and initially tried to get him adopted from the shelter, but he was so afraid in the cage that we took him ourselves. And we are so happy we did!
