Hissing 'Panda Cat' Goes From Scared To Cuddlebug



When most people go to a shelter to adopt a cat, they select one who is friendly, cuddly, and relatively well-behaved. That's bad for the "problem cats": ferals, strays, sick and injured cats, and those rescued from abusive situations. These cats don't trust humans, and can't compete with other cats. That's where foster homes come in, the folks who spend their time socializing problem cats ...just to send them away to a permanent home when they've succeeded. Jali Henry is one of those cat foster moms, who bond with cats and then send them on their way to make room for another problem cat. In this video, she patiently deals with Jack until he settles down into a happy house cat. You can follow Jack, now named Dipper, at Instagram.

Yes, they're not "feral". Just mistreated and distrustful and most of all scared! Good on her, most of mine were rescue cats like this one
