    Sooo... I guess this is what an "outdoor feral rescue barn kitty" looks like? When we got her a couple months ago, we thought best-case she'd *maybe* show up during the day while we were outside. We had NO idea she'd start wanting to come inside, and definitely didn't think she'd let us pet...

    Caly continues to be much more skittish than the first few weeks. I'm thinking something must have happened to make her so crazy cautious. The last two weeks she'd barely even come into the house, and when she did, she'd grab a treat and run out with it. The last few days I've put in extra...

    Kitty was getting more and more comfortable with us / coming into the house... then all of a sudden 2 days ago she's been TOTALLY skittish! Wondering if something happened to her outside, or even at some point inside. She went from wandering around inside the house a bit to coming in just...

    She comes by every night a little after dusk and meows at the back door to come in for some treats. She's still pretty skittish (like she'll jump at any sudden moves or movements towards her) and often runs for the door, but if we're calm / quiet, she'll have no problem coming and taking a...

    Well, the last few days with new-kitty (Caly) have been pretty interesting! When we let her out of the cage on Saturday we didn't know if she was going to come back. Well, not only did she stay in the open cage all day, but when we got back from dinner, she quickly came to meet us. The last...

    SUCCESS!!! We opened the cage and she just stayed inside all day napping. We went to dinner and the webcam saw her leave the cage. We got home a few hours later and saw her way back in the empty lot behind the house exploring. A few moments later my GF saw Caly at the door... and this amazing...

    Today's the day! We opened the cage door and within about 5 minutes she explored out a little... but then my daughter started getting excited, said something, and spooked the cat a little and she went back into the cage. I guess the good-news is that when she felt spooked she went back in the...

    A few updates: Aries didn't work out :( The woman from the rescue felt like he wasn't comfortable with Caly, so she took him to another home and he's doing well there. Caly is doing GREAT! She's eating treats from our hands and is even letting us pet her a little. Rescue lady said it's...

    A few updates! 1) Family decided to change "Rusty" to "Aries" in a effort to better match Calypso (sticking with a Greek mythology theme) ;) 2) Pics: Caly: Aries:

    Correct, my GF and her kitties live at their separate house (next to her grandparents who also tend to the kitties). If / when my GF moves in, her cats would remain with grandparents.

    Thanks for the warm-welcomes! I can tell what a wonderfully special place TCS is! So, the rescue woman came by around 5:15 with the new kitties. Both are about a year old. The female (Caly) had recently had a litter of kittens that were adopted, and she's since been fixed. Rusty was the last...

    ... well, the lady that works for the rescue was supposed to be here at 3:30, and now she's saying 4:40. The kitty-anticipation is killing me!! LOL! My GF says this is me right now impatiently waiting for kitties: :livid:
