Amber

The newest resident of the cat sanctuary arrived just three days ago via the No. 5 Rd. Shelter.


Presumably being given the name Amber because of the colour of her eyes, this pretty girl is so scared that it's impossible to tell if she's semi-feral or tame but too frightened to act it.

I'm posting this now as the "before" picture. Hopefully I'll be able to post an "after" picture where she looks happier... or at least has both ears pointing forward.
Wish us luck!

    Perhaps we should put Mario in with her...

    i was with her today in one of the rooms, i had hope with me as well. she was very interested and watched me the whole time but was never willing to come too close. shame, she's beautiful.
