MEET AURORA*Bonded with her sister AmberAurora and her sister, Amber, are learning what it means to trust humans. They've been living inside since they were `teenagers` but have not had much in the way of socializationwith people. Since they have been at the shelter, they've been slowly learning every day. They know that people provide them with food and clean their litter boxes but are still wary of human interaction. Although they have not learned the pleasures of a good ear scratch or a warm lap yet, they have been enjoying some soft pets with a backscratcher on their sweet heads - this lets them enjoy touch from a safe distance as they continue to warm up to people. Aurora and Amber require a patient, cat-savvy home where they can continue to learn, grow, and decompress. The key to making cats like Amber and Aurora comfortable in your home is patience. Undersocialized cats usually follow the Rule of 3: it can take these cats 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to start settling in, and at least 3 months to feel at home and show their personality. Here are a few things you can expect from your undersocialized cats: *Hiding: for the best transition, we highly recommend confining these girls to a smaller room in the home like an office or a spare bedroom where they can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure. *Transition: remember to be patient while these girls discover their new home. *Hands-on work: Most cats love food and using stinky wet food and Churu treats is a great way for you to bond with you new cat. Using a back scratcher to pet your cat while you're giving them tasty food will help them to associate petting with good things.These girls are currently up to date on all vaccinations, have been spayed microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on Amber and Aurora or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170.
