Although it would be nice if all cats had a loving home, that is not always the case. It is estimated that in the United States alone, there are up to 70 million feral cats living on the streets. They have little contact with humans so they may become fearful of people.
There is a difference between a feral cat and a stray cat. At some point, a stray cat has been socialized but now they have likely lost their home and are living on the street. A feral cat, on the other hand, will live on the street their entire life.
Most stray cats are able to be readjusted to life with humans but adult feral cats are not able to be adopted in such a way. Most of them are better off outdoors, because they will be euthanized if they are taken to a shelter.
The young woman who took this picture has been feeding stray cats in the neighbourhood. A stray mama cat brought her baby home one day, and they were given a bed but the mum didn’t stay for long.
She decided her baby was being cared for properly, so she left her and never came back. The kitten was taken to the veterinarian.
The tiny kitten was moved into the family home and given the care that she needed. Her name is Floofy.
Floofy now has a forever home including humans, another cat and two dogs.
She is one lucky kitten. The mum was smart enough to know when she would be cared for.
