  • Looking at the attached pictures, we can already see she's a cutie. Maybe a little shy, experiencing an unsure beginning, but she doesn't know it (yet, here in these pictures) - that this is the beginning of the rest of her life. A new, domestic, and fantastic life. She will be okay, and that makes us happy.

    One of the regulars was looking to give this previously feral barn cat a home! Meet Clementine

  • 05

    The man originally had a variation of his team name to include (Kitten Needs a Home)

  • 06

    and while I thought about it, once I looked into her eyes it was a one and done.

    He mentioned she can be shy but is a cuddle bug once she's comfortable.

    This week will be getting her all set with the vet, chipped, and settled into my apartment with lots of toys and goodies.

  • 09

    She's definitely shy (currently hiding underneath the couch and popping out every now and then)

    but letting her fully explore the apartment and get comfortable before trying any too rash.

    LaureGilou Oh god what a sweet face. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your good life, baby

    djmermaidonthemic Oh well! You won the CDS grand prize! Thank you for taking her in. If she is already venturing out from under the couch that is a great sign!

  • Aww, we love this little update. It might be small and seem insignificant, but it actually is. Drawing from our conclusions from the pictures, and also what her now-human tells about her, knowing that the kitten now behaves in such a way is a good sign. Starting as a shy and timid little cat, she now makes biscuits - a great sign of comfort for cats. It's amazing to know she already feels at home.

    PirateJen78 Congratulations!! She looks like she's going to be a sweetie!

    number_ten That kind of behavior/personality is pretty typical of female cats, particularly ones that started outside. She'll come along eventually once she realizes you aren't a threat. If you want. to try to draw her out just lay on your back in the middle of a room. She might surprise you.

    djmermaidonthemic Yes. Listen to music, scroll on your phone, talk calmly. This is how you seduce them. They become curious as soon as they understand you are not a threat.

    duckie768 OP Yes, was doing this last night! Mainly just ignoring her, which seemed to work.

  • 22

    sweetheart_raven What a wonderful story. Does she have any other 'trivia- themed' nicknames yet, or is she strictly Clementine?

  • 23

    Waste_of_Bison For some reason, "Buzzer" came to mind. Depending on how old she is, "Speed Round" may be more appropriate.

  • 24

    duckie768 OP Not yet, but I will definitely have to add some into the mix!
