Some of the cats shown in the video are already adoptable. If you have the patience to bring one home after they show some response to you, they will gain trust in you. It might take as long as 5 months.

I have 4 former wildcats that are now sleepwiths, huggers and follow-arounds. When they sleep in your house and wake up every time to find they have not been eaten in their sleep, they calm down. They watch you and become infatuated with you. You put love in and you get it back in spades.

So true!

We have a formally feral cat that we were told would never be “right,” that we would never see because she’d live in our closets and under furniture. It’s too late, they told us. She was the first cat I didn’t love at first sight — so contemptuous was her glare.

It took time and gentle patience but she’s now the most affectionate, “togethery” cat we’ve ever known. She’s snuggling with me as I type. Sweet kitty. I love and admire her so much. It’s never too late.

I have found that cats that were once feral are very glad to be kept in the house. The like very familiar surroundings. Because they always felt like they were in danger outside they love the feeling of safty.
