Louise is at home! Mom Brigit sent us an update: "She is doing just great and becomes more sociable by the day. She is totally comfortable with me...when I get home she comes out to say hi and jumps around my feet. She gets annoyed with me if I do not pay as much attention to her as she thinks I should when I'm doing homework, and in the last couple days she's started sleeping in my bed. Her fear of other people seems to have also lessened, in that I often have a couple friends over and she has so far been very approachable with them and likes to be petted by pretty much anyone. Definitely a success....thanks again for everything!" See Louise's journey. Some of our cats and kittens available for adoption have similar stories and will also make wonderful lifetime companions.
Brigit -- thank you! And thanks to Heather S. for saving her, and to Claire for fostering her! Good luck LOUISE!

This sort of adoption makes cat rescue worth while for me. Louise was still very shy when Brigit first came to visit her. She hid behind the couch and would not let us touch her. Brigit saw her though and said "there is something about this cat". Louise had touched her somewhere, and Brigit saw that she could be the person that would bring Louise out of her shell. She and Louise have created a very special bond. That is what keeps me doing this, seeing adopters open up to that animal that is not perfect but with whom they can create that perfect bond.
Lucky, lovely, Louise. And thank you Brigit for seeing her true colors and bringing them out.
Ainat, thanks for your beautiful insight and sensitivity. Without that not, much good would have happened for Louise.
I think the look on Louise's face says it all. Compare and contrast to her older pix. In this one where she's in the sink, you can see she is seeking Brigit ... she loves her mommy ... she is now a real housecat!
