«He’s never going to be tame», my aunt said when I showed her a video of the cat refusing to be touched.

Two months later, I hear him walking back and forth beside my bed in the morning, waiting for me to wake and tap on the bed for him jump up and join me. He purrs and leans in on the cuddle.

He still won’t allow me to pet him if I come to him. But when he can come to me? Well, let the cuddles begin.

HE CUDDLES

After fostering him for about a month, I was told (by my partner) that no way could we not adopt the cat. I asked «seriously? He’s so scared, we are not able to pet him at all», but the foot came down.

So we adopted him.

And I have worked so hard being allowed to pet him and LOOK AT HIM NOW.

6 years ago: Cinnamon was a very scared baby. We got a batch of foster kittens that were "spicy" and needed socializing. She never quite adjusted. We thought she was ready for adoption after a while, but she went back to being completely feral when we returned her to the shelter. She was very relaxed at our house and all of our cats loved her, so we decided she should stay with us. She is still quite shy!

It's Philippe's 4th gotcha day! This amazing boy started out as a foster for us. He'd been surrendered to the shelter due to chronic tummy problems. It was our job to take care of him while we sorted that out, but we fell deeply in love with him and he had to stay with us. Here's a baby pic!
