Awwww...we have a special needs kitty...I call him our “downs baby kitty”...he must have been the runt, plus ended up with feral blood...would hide from us in the house (indoor cat only) we adopted him after he spent @6 months in cat shelter...thought he would improve. He didnt. Vet finally said let’s let him have a halfway decent life...sooo..we give him prozac and lorazepam everyday. My husband can now pick him up and the drugs have given him some “joy.” He still hates me, but isn’t as scared as in past. He’s our little project.
Wow, what a story! So glad he has you all. He has a wonderful home w/ you.
