His sister Ophelia was a little more socialized and was adopted, but it took a year of calming collars and a very slow introduction to everything and two other cats, but now she's fine. It took her adoption for me to be able to have a relationship with him, and that was after 18 months here. He had a few interested adopters, but they didn't feel they were skilled enough to work with him. I've been working with calming pheromones and flower essences with him and he's making progress. He doesn't know I have a few more ideas for him, but of course, he's staying here--he is socialized enough to stay in a home, but that has not been so of others. <br /><br />In my rescue we have kept cats indoors, trying to socialize, for months. We'll usually keep them if they are okay with their foster family, but if really have a hard time living with people we feel a life that's filled with a fair amount of fear isn't a good life. I've taken a dozen to a friend's farm where they are relocated with crates in her basement and released into her house, but permitted outdoors and can choose their life, either indoors, in or out, or entirely outdoors. In time, several have settled indoors, and several come indoors for winter, others have moved to other homes in the neighborhood; it's a group of small farms in a rural area. It's what's best for the cat. Good luck.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208737162506351497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-90572401652097463042018-10-04T11:17:46.723-04:002018-10-04T11:17:46.723-04:00Oh, poor Goldfish.
