After receiving care and plenty of nourishment, a wild cat found himself living in comfort and safety for a few weeks. He decided that he would never go back to his old feline community.
Ashley, the youngest old cat lady on Instagram, is a dedicated TNR rescuer and foster based in Washington. Recently, she took in a feral cat who was stuck in Everett, suffering from a nasty upper respiratory infection and absolutely terrified of humans.
Despite having spent his whole life on the streets (around 6-8 years), Ashley had a hunch that this feral guy would eventually warm up to her. With help from the Community Cat Coalition, she got medication to treat his URI, and although the recovery was slow, it eventually worked its magic.
She decided to name him Stud Muffin. At first, he was hesitant and would hiss when Ashley brought him food, but over time, he realized she was there to help. Eventually, he would observe her from the safety of his cat tree condo, slowly but surely building trust with his new human friend.
Ashley, known as @youngestoldcatlady on social media, decided to take a chance and reached out to Stud Muffin. To her delight, he allowed her to pet him and even apply eye medication when needed. Several weeks passed, and Stud Muffin eventually recovered fully and was successfully neutered. “He may have had his fair share of kitten offspring, but thankfully that chapter has come to a close.”
Ashley, known as @youngestoldcatlady on social media, shared a heartwarming story about a timid kitty she rescued. Despite being shy and hiding from people, she let the cat decide if he wanted to return to where she found him. After leaving the crate open for him to explore, he chose to stay with Ashley. She named him Stud Muffin and he has decided to leave his feral life behind. Ashley is spoiling him with chicken and rice meals as he adjusts to regular food. Check out the video to see his rescue journey!
Ashley, who goes by the handle @youngestoldcatlady, shared that the cat now rules their garage domain and has a cozy hut for when he wants to hide away. According to Ashley, the cat enjoys full access to the garage, allowing him to perch on the windowsill and observe the outside world. Additionally, he also interacts and plays with the kittens that were captured in the same vicinity.
Ashley, also known as the youngest old cat lady on social media, is hopeful that with patience and affection, the shy cat in her care will eventually come out of his shell. She shared her excitement about a potential foster and adopter coming next week, as well as another kind individual offering to cover the cat’s adoption fee.
