    Dunder seems so sweet. Glad this woman has a welcoming committee for foster cats, and he was able to help Mose come out of her shell. Kind of hoping for a foster fail here, as Dunder and Mose seem so connected.

      Like this cat, a lot of introverts get adopted by extroverts without their consent. I am thankful for friends who never gave up being my rock even though I'm shy and socially awkward. I have five calico cats now.

    "It's not about me. It's about saving a life" such wise words, I hope all potential adoptive pet parents remember that. It takes time for a cat to form a bond and its not about you. Awesome video she seems like an awesome mom to her cats

    We adopted a shy boy too. I would sit in the room he was hiding in and just talk to him about anything so that he got used to my voice. Over time he began to trust me. He is a big black cat who was mistreated and finally rescued by the Humane Society. Benny is now a big lovable boy who likes to snuggle and be brushed. Patience and trust is key.

    I adopted a shy boy who was already a year old, along with a kitten he had bonded with. The kitten was game for anything, but Mr T would only come out at night for the first month we had him. Slowly he started peaking his head out around us. Now, 2 years later, he is the gentlest, cuddliest, sweetest cat I've ever had 😊

    my cat was also extremely shy. the first 3 weeks we had her i only saw her once because as soon as she got home she hid behind the washing machine.
    my mom grabbed her one day and set her upstairs. it took around 4 or 5 years for her to stop being scared of me and 7 years for her to really warm up to me. she is now 13, halfway to 14 and she really is my best friend. i can just pick her up randomly and she will be so happy to see me

    My cat was extremely shy as a kitten with her litter mates. She was usually found hiding under something. When we brought her home she hid for a couple days but then she realized: no other cats in the house meant she was QUEEN CAT. She completely transformed. Suddenly she was in the middle of everything we were doing, patrolling the house several times a day, visiting each of us in turn, and always engaged with the day’s activities. She’s eleven now and still queen cat.

    I adopted a 2 year old from a shelter. It took 2-3 weeks before she would come out from under the bed and she bonded with my other senior cat well. It took 9 months before I could pet her. I have had her a year and a half and she loves her pets but still runs when I approach her. She is only comfortable receiving pets in certain spots of the house under certain conditions. I shower her with love and toys and one day she will come around. I just love her so much. My friends think I am an angel, but I chose her and she is the perfect companion to my senior boy and that's all I could ask for.

She’s such a lover-so much more so than my other two cats. She has the biggest heart. So long as she’s getting love and affection, she happy. I wish I were more more like her.

    I had a very scared and anxious boy that I adopted, and it took weeks for him to be comfortable with me, and another couple of months for him to sleep on my bed with me. Eventually, he trusted me 100%, and was an absolute sucker for pets at any time. He even loved belly rubs!
    However, he was only comfortable with me, and no other humans or animals. After some time, my vet and I decided to try Prozac, not just for his anxiety, but also because he had asthma, and stress and anxiety can trigger asthma attacks. It was a game changer! He started being cool with other animals, and would play and groom my other cat, and would even be around strangers and sniff them! The things we do for animals!

    I think other than cases of exceptionally feral cats (and there are degrees of wild behavior), I think it’s just a matter of time before shy or frightened cats come around… It may take three days, three weeks or even three months (or longer!) for them to begin to trust. And it can even change and improve over a period of years as they become more and more bonded! So to anyone in that situation, please be very, very patient! You will be rewarded in ways that you cannot imagine! 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

    Our son lost his ginger soulmate about 2 months ago. My wife saw a ginger female with her sibling, a gray and white who was super shy. The vet only wanted to adopt them together and was having a hard time placing them because the gray kitten was so, so shy and afraid. My wife adopted them both and now they both follow around our son and sit with him whenever he is in the house. Both of them have become love bugs. Don't give up and give them love. They will come around with some time. Great video.

    We just took care of my sister’s cats for 3 weeks. They hid for over a week, only coming out to use the litter box, eat & drink. I was getting worried about muscle atrophy. They relaxed but only one of them wanted human attention. They’re both home safe now but that was very scary. The only reason I didn’t panic was because they were eating & drinking & pooping. My last cat had PTSD so I knew the difference between “scared” & “freaking out”

    I had a bookshop in Ohio wherein shelter cats were fostered and then adopted by customers. More than 50 were adopted from my shop over the years. I then wrote a series of novels about the experience (Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats is the first) to encourage other shops to look into fostering dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The business that took over my location continued to foster, thankfully.
