I just rescued a cat from outside and this poor baby is so scared being indoors. I felt so bad i cried. I really hope she will be happy and realized how loved and safe she is with me🥺❤️

My cat is also a stray that I found as a baby. She will be. You can expect a bond to form over time that is much deeper than you might have previously experienced with other pets. Have a great many years together!

I’d recommend bringing her to the nearest vet clinic if you haven’t yet. Both to check for a microchip and for a checkup. And, speaking as someone who works with animals, do keep an open mind that she might not turn out to be as snuggly or sweet as you think. It is important to remove strays from the outdoors but some of them really struggle to adjust to the life of a pet.

Got it, I will try to make it as comfortable for her as possible and take her to the vet as soon as I can (she may have fleas). Right now she is in her own secluded and quiet space (2nd bedroom) with everything she needs. She did cuddle with us last night but when she looks out the window it upsets her :( she may have been a catch and release due to the chip in her ear but if she is not already fixed i will get her spayed. If she is someones kitty we will find out. This is her

That’s good that she was seeking comfort in you! It might take some time to adjust but she sounds like she’ll be fine with some time and care
