Saturday Snapshot invites bloggers to share photos. About year ago, my husband and I decided to foster a feral cat. This past week, Bootsie not only had a successful vet appointment, but we rewarded her with her very first collar. She wears it proud!

Bootsie’s story is incredible. I don’t think I’ve heard of a feral cat becoming a pet before. Or a trap neuter release group.

Bootsie was blessed to have caretakers who fed her pretty much all of her life. For that reason, although scared of a lot of things, she remained open to human contact. If for not this, I’m not sure that I would have attempted turning her into a pet.

There are others who have taken in cats far more wild, and successfully turned them into house cats. I applaud everyone who tries, because many of our feral deep down want love as much as the next cat.

And here’s a post about some other local feral cats who became pets too: https://lincolnanimalambassadors.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/the-faces-of-feral-cats/

What a very pretty cat. My two cats are mother and daughter, but have moments when they do not get on.

My husband and I have three cats. You can follow their adventures by looking for my Critter Photos. As those will show, our cats have their moments of spats and of friendship. 🙂

Thanks! Since getting her collar, Bootsie has gotten friskier in her play. She also joins us more often at night for a sleep. Bootsie is a happy girl.
