Hello my name is Slinky

I came to the sanctuary after I was rescued from a small colony of strays/feral cats. I had clearly lived outside since I was born. 

I was very scared when I was trapped and brought into the sanctuary but my rescuer and carer knew I was not feral and had the potential to be won over by the humans. Well, they were absolutely right! I came to the sanctuary in February this year and it took a good few months but I slowly started to show signs of confidence and trust around the humans especially my main carer.

I started to gain confidence and show some fear aggressive behaviours because of how overwhelmed I was. Eventually I started to settle a bit more and let my carer touch me. I realised I really enjoyed it and since then I have come out of my shell even more and I am such a loving boy. I love affection and will rub around my carer's legs for fusses. If I feel overstimulated, I can go to nip and tell you I'm overwhelmed in that moment.

I could be easily misunderstood but I am just nervous and wary. I get worried about any sudden noises and movements and will retreat into my safe hidey bed. 

I have come a long way in just under four months so my carer believes I will come out of my shell and gain more confidence in a home with humans that are patient and understanding. Could this be you?
