Angela carefully placed the frightened kittens in a quiet and calming space, allowing them the time to adjust and decompress.
They emerged from their carrier, hunched over, with their fur bristling, and ears flattened against their heads. Upon finding a cozy box to hide in, they clung to each other for comfort, their wide saucer-like eyes fixed on their foster mom.
Initially, any attempt by Angela to approach them resulted in an alarm of hisses. Angela noted, “They probably hadn’t been around people before. They would try to hide behind the litter box and hiss whenever someone got too close or tried to pet them.”
But as their anxiety began to subside, Angela made a tempting offer to these kittens – cat treats. Pumpkin, one of the tabbies, hesitantly accepted a bite and found herself devouring more.
