Hi Noahsmommy- Minnie was rescued by a vet as part of a trap/nueter/release in a feral community. This was in April, I think. When they trapped her, they realized she had already been spayed, and didn't exhibit the necessary feral type behaviour. They thought she had been dumped (a curse upon their souls). So, in July, I adopted her. She hid in the basement until just recently...like two weeks ago, maybe three? Then, she moved into my bedroom....I think it was the cold weather..I dont care what made it happen, I am just thankful for the slow progress. Thanks for asking...
