Beck
This was Beck last night… about a week of trust let me open the door to pet her. She didn’t know if she wants loves and pets, or food first!!
I’m hoping soon we can trust each other enough to let her out of the cage and in the room to roam.
As you can see in this video a little better, her CH is mild. I do know she climbs things but I’ll be so interested and excited to watch her roam a room and explore!!
Backstory on Beck is, she is about 2+ yrs old at least… she’s been in a big cage , like this one, for at least a year. Her muscles are atrophied and her fear clearly has shown her cautiousness…. Right now she hasn’t even shown signs to come out.
Baby steps will get her there though! I’m hoping to show her love can happen outside a cage 🐾🧡🐾
Beck
Beck didn’t eat for 6 days… nothing. I tried everything!! After an urgent visit to the vet, we got a stimulant, a vitamin, fluids and an antibiotic. She ate that night!! 5 days later she showed me her biscuits!!! 🐾🧡🧡 🐾Shortly after, she let me pet her!!!
For almost 2 weeks, she hid, she growled, she hissed and spit!!! She either hated me or was feral!!
This sweet baby was scared!! So scared!!!
This was last week. In between loves she hissed, she hid and she spit. But it got better every single day!!!
Mellow
Mellow getting some zoomies out! He’s been getting on all 4’s more often recently, he does flop right over, but it’s still progress!! He also has figured out how to prop against a wall to rest/sit instead of just resting on his side!! It’s the little things 🧡🤍🧡
Miles
Miles and his breakfast… well food in general!! These particular moments I will miss!! He puts a “show” on every morning for me and we walk to the top of the stairs where he knows I scoop him up and we go downstairs for breakfast. He always comes “FLYING” out from under the bed because he knows I’m doing my breakfast call!!
Miles goes to his fur ever home today 🧡🤎🤍 and I couldn’t be happier crying at all 😭
I live for these days BUT it sometimes is still heart crushing in a sense!!!
This boy def got our hearts and will forever!! I’m super excited he will be close by and we will even get to visit and furbabysit for him in June!!
Miles
I know this is long but I couldn’t stop!! 😭 BIG BIG moment for Miles!!
He has not, and I’ve tried lotsa things, drank water on his own yet! He is now 4 months old y’all and doing BIG BOY THINGS!!!!
Here’s the BIG BOY drinking water…. All on his own!!! Well I helped hold him but he did it!!!!😻😻😻
These are the moments I absolutely live for… these few minutes made every single early morning and extra loads of laundry completely worth every moment
🧡🐾🤎🤍🐾🧡
Mellow
Out of all the toys… this is Mellow’s favorite… the playpen elastic 🧡🤍🧡
CH physical therapy 🫶🏼💪🏻
Miles and Mellow
The only way they occasionally get along is if they can’t see each other 🤦🏼♀️
Only the occasional hiss 😹
Miles and Mellow
Turn up your volume… this is a pretty mild growling session TBH… they have shown signs of possibly (maybe?) warming up to each other but it’s been a week and they still growl!
P.s. they do not growl at my resident cats! Only each other 🤦🏼♀️😹
Mellow
We have had Mellow for a week now and starting to get to know him and him us. He truly is “Mellow” when compared to our beastly Miles 😹
He is a sweetheart and slowly coming out of his shell. He purrs up a storm and just wants to be held and loved more than get down and play I think… BUT that’s gonna change soon!! Now that he is warming up a tad we are trying to construct a scooter/wheelchair for Mellow. My hope is to build his confidence beyond “food on a rug scotching!!”
Miles
Miles got a feeding station! Don’t mind me talking, this was the first time using it and I think he got a bit rambunctious 😹
Miles is always a fierce little eater 🤦🏼♀️ but he took it next level here!!
I’m not sure we will use it for wet food but maybe I’ll try dry food and water…. Still trying to tackle him drinking water
Miles
Finally got to play with the big man Wes!!
Miles
Miles🤎🤍… meet Mellow 🤍
🧡
🌎 friends… welcome Mellow!
We are going to welcome Mellow a little slowly. Miles is a bit unsure and a little hissy/growly 😹
Miles will adjust and so will Mellow.
Mellow came from a single kitten momma who had an oopsy pregnancy. Mellow’s momma is getting fixed though 😸yay!!!
Mellow has CH as well, and over the next few days, after some time, we will be able to get a better idea of what he needs and what he can do!!
Let’s also hope that they make great friends 🤞 🤞🤞
Miles
Miles has just a few days of play roaming now… and he’s already up to about 5-7 steps!! The more he plays and gets open space the better he gets! Now he comes when I call him and climbs up me! 🧡🤎😻
Miles will be getting a new eating station soon!! 😀 🎉
In the meantime I found this. Miles still doesn’t drink water alone from a bowl or water bottle. I have to coax him with dry food in the water and a small amount at a time.… which is totally fine and he does great on his own!
This feeding mat will hopefully give him even more independence. It’s for a puppy or small dog for slow feeding, however I switched it around for Miles… I put water in the blue part and food in the bowl. My hope is that Miles will sip the water or scoop it with his hand… but he CANNOT submerge his hole face or nose, and even better demonstrated in the video... he can’t go swimming either! ( he won’t get all wet and submerge part of his body while in a flip flop!) 🧡🧡🧡
Miles
Miles said yes to veggie straws!! So exciting, best new toy everrrr!! Jump right in!!
Also a good example of head tremors. When CH babies try to still, calm and collect themselves this is common.
Miles can collect himself pretty quickly and is mastering the “lean” approach when he can. He likes finding a crevice, like a lap, especially after eating so he can “still” and clean himself 🧡
Miles
All the babies are baby tested and proofed around here… it goes both ways… both passed 🧡
Miles new game. I’m hoping this helps the coordination. He likes playing with the balls but the food definitely gets him going more and more!

I just wanted to show everyone Miles gets a super cozy and safe (giant) home… I put a sort of cat cave in there bc he loves to shnuggle!!
Y’all just watch when he discovers it’s in his home now!! 🧡🧡🧡
It seems to be home made (I covered with a pillow case) and now I have to find someone to make him more! I bought 3 bird caves but they were all too small 😆
Many people ask me “can Miles use a litter box?” Like a pro! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ This is Miles interrupting play time to go potty! ☺️
Just a wittle Saturday morning 🧡🐾💜 cuteness
