Been in foster since 4/1/25, came in heavily pregnant and gave birth to 5 kittens, 2 are still available and hand raised! (Katmai & Denali) Mama Bijou - is making steady progress. She’s still not a fan of being touched - but she’s never hissy or aggressive. She loves wand toys, her ball track, and will happily stand entirely on Big Red's lap to eat a toona toob. She’s curious with other cats (but not enough to stop playing!), calm with her movements, and enjoys exploring when she feels safe. Lately she has been given authority to roam the house while everyone is home, and she does well! Only a loud noise or an unexpected Resident Cat Josie sends her running back to her room. Bijou is gorgeous, playful, and would thrive with a patient human who enjoys interactive play and can admire her beauty from a respectful distance while she continues to bloom. A quieter home with fewer cats would likely help her find her way, although she seems generally unbothered by the resident felines. Bijou is roughly 3 years old, if we had to guess.

The average life span of an outdoor feral is two years. Outdoor cats are subject to these same elements and risk a distressing death. Please speak with Kim, the shelter manager and the town's ACO, for more information regarding this.
