A scared, skinny little cat wandered up to an LOA volunteer’s home and thus began the story of Rey.  This volunteer had seen her several times in her neighborhood, always out of reach and frightened.  With patience, good food and a little time, Rey was brought into the home, given her own room separate from other cats and began to appreciate the warmth and all the good stuff that comes with being an indoor kitty.  We think she actually used to belong to someone and was just frightened, not feral.  Rey immediately developed a life-threatening illness and was cared for by her foster until she was back to normal – a scary few weeks!  Fast forward to today – Rey is between 1-2 years old, very playful and loves to eat!  She doesn’t understand yet that her food will never run out, so she’s a bit nervous when you take her bowl to fill it up, or don’t offer her the canned food you’re holding fast enough.  Ray will need a patient adult to help her through the transition of understanding she will always have food, and must be “free fed” where she has access to her food 24/7.  Rey plays well by herself and is very affectionate and loving with her humans.  We think she would do best in an all adult home, or perhaps a home with older children as she works through becoming comfortable about her food.  She has been introduced through a barrier to the resident calm cat and after a brief few days of hissing, is now calm in his presence with the barrier still in place.  The other resident cat is more dominant and growls/is hissy at her, which is returned by Rey.  So we think she may, with proper introductions, get along with a calm kitty.  She has not been introduced to dogs.  Rey is a truly sweet, funny little girl just waiting on her forever home!
