Slippery Alma

What do you call a cat who doesn't want to be caught? Slippery Alma, It took 2 months to catch this wily girl who was comfortable being a friendly outdoor stray who'd walk up for a quick rub again your legs and dash off before you could touch her. One day she had a wound on her back so it was decided to get her in and looked at. one trapping attempt found Slippery sitting on the trap looking at the hapless stray inside, a young male who got rehomed. Switching to a drop trap caught yet another dirty fluffy girl of 11 who's very happy to be indoor kitty now. Finally once caught, Slippery Alma sadly had to go through a 4 month quarantine and we've been trying to socialize her for over a year. She could not safely return to the original spot next to Rte One. Slippery is about 7 years old. she was previously spayed and ear tipped. Adjusting to indoor life has been a slow progress but Slippery had loosened up and has been with a foster in small space so they get plenty of opportunity to meet and interact. Step by step over 4 months she has come out from under the bed, bravely eating while her foster was awake to rubbing up against feet to most recently rubbing up against an arm and purring. This is a huge step. Any adopter will need patience and expect her to regress while she rebuilds confidence. She's a quirky girl full of charm.
