Cali's story

Cali was found underneath an air conditioning unite on the campus at the State University of West Georgia. She was part of a feral litter but was the only one that I was able to catch. Originally the plan was to get her acclimated to people and then when she was ready to find her a good forever home. Then my father decided that he wanted to keep her instead. I decided to write a blog detailing the trials of a formerly feral kitten adjusting to life with people now.
When I first grabbed Cali she hissed and spit and even bit me. She spent most of the first day finding places to hide and cowering away from people. She had been scavenging who knows what to eat so even regular cat food upset her stomach. After five days she has become comfortable in the room that we have been keeping her in and she no longer runs when I or my Dad come into the room. She's still not sure about other people though. She is starting to act and play like a normal kitten but she still has a long way to go.
