Cass found him under a trash can. A tiny, fluffy kitten, eyes wide and scared. He had probably never seen a human before. His fear was clear when he bit her hard, but she didn’t hold it against him. She knew this would be a challenge, but Cass was determined to help him.
The First Encounter
When Cass brought him inside, he wouldn’t touch the food she gave him. He was too frightened. She used a crate to let him get used to his surroundings. Everything was new to him—inside walls, furniture, and a human trying to care for him. His fear made him defensive, but she stayed patient.
Wrapped Like a Burrito
To feed him, Cass had to wrap him tightly in a blanket to avoid his sharp claws, his “murder mittens.” Each time he scratched, she saw how scared he still was. It took days, but little by little, he started to trust her. She fed him slowly with a measuring cup, and that small step felt like progress.
Trust Begins
After nearly six days, he finally ate from a bowl, not from her hand. It was a moment of victory. A tiny breakthrough in their journey. Slowly, he was learning that Cass wasn’t a threat. He licked food from her finger, a small gesture, but it meant the world to her. Trust was building.
A Turning Point
The day Cass put him in a cat hoodie was a turning point. He relaxed, curled into the pocket, and let her pet him without much protest. For the first time, he meowed instead of hissed. It wasn’t just any meow—it was one of trust. She knew they were finally on the same page.
Finding a Home
As he grew more comfortable, Cass realized she couldn’t keep him. She had recently found homes for other cats. When she shared his story, many people reached out, but one person stood out. She came hours to meet him, and the kitten, now named Church, accepted her right away. He had found his home.
