Bless you for giving Tiki so much love and care in her too-short life. Shame on whoever it was who had a hand in her homelessness. Tiki's story is another example that with a lot of patience we can be rewarded by helping an innocent feral or homeless cat and often bring them inside to give them a safer longer life full of love and affection. The rescue I volunteer for has taken in many feral cats and socialized them until they were ready for adoption. We should never give up on these beautiful beings even though someone else did.
