A Cautious Kitten

We picked Tucker (formerly Sam) up yesterday. We were given a two-page handout on suggestions to help us integrate our new “cautious” family member to our home. Tucker escaped his “safe” starting zone in about 10 minutes. Within an hour, he had smelled around the entire house, and had his first meal and plenty of water. He has been at home since. We cannot thank HSHV enough for bringing little Tucker into our lives.   Sam now Tucker

She let me stroke her tiny nose and that’s when I knew I was in love. We brought her home the same day. Now her demeanor has totally changed. She is the sweetest little cuddlebug! She loves
