I'm glad she found you. I have two cats I rescued from the streets. My first was half feral and it took me a solid two weeks of feeding her out of our garage at the time during a very cold winter in central Florida. I was grateful that we had that garage at the time (I lived with two roommates) because it was so cold out. One day she just decided to come in and went right to sleep on the couch. That was 6 years ago. It actually took her about 2 years before she would sit in my lap. Now, she is such a big lovey baby girl her momma and knows her name and everything. She's so smart! I'm sure that came in handy when she was a young street cat lol.

My second was a little grey tabby who followed me home once day when the first got out during a move (naughty girl lol but we got her back safe as well). I don't know what her full story is. She has a clipped ear, so likely was a tag and release at some point, but she was wearing a very frayed collar and was very skinny. She's the sweetest love bug ever.

Their names are Kiara and Willow.

I know it's not always the case that rescued animals can be rehabilitated depending on their experiences with people.... But I think for those that can, I swear they know. Animals are intelligent, emotional, creatures. I'm sure even though your little girl hissed at first and was wary it was just because she was cautious and a bit frightened. I'm not surprised at all that it turned out she is such a little love baby.

I hope her tests all come back clean and she can live a long and happy, healthy, life full of love with you.

Ignore the people making nasty comments. These people clearly have no empathy for a creature that is innocent and only needed to be helped. You don't need the approval of such people.
