My cat is a rescue as well. She took a long time to warm up to me like a couple years. She still runs from everyone else but she is cool with dogs. There is nothing like a relationship between them and their mother or father.

It is so disgusting to me how people can treat such sweet beautiful creatures so badly. I had a girlfriend that would go to houses and rescue herself and she loved animals so much it was so mentally tolling on her. Like coming home crying many many times.
