Arrival Story:
Winston is a black and white maine coon. She came to me while I was outdoors, planting some pepper plants, in my back yard. It was July, and we were in the grips of a heat wave. I just started planting when this black and white fuzz ball came from behind my house mewing at me. She cautiously approached me and allowed me to pet her. The first thing I noticed was how she felt like a puff of hair - and I immediately went inside to get some milk and water. At that time, I did not have any pets, so I did not have any cat food on hand. I had to feed her something, so I cooked up some ground turkey and fed it to her. I orginally tried to have her as an indoor/outdoor cat (as she really wanted to remain outdoors), until one evening she came home bleeding. Upon further inspection - I discovered that her neck was ripped open. I took her to the animal er, they decided not to stitch her up but gave me some cream to put on her wounds and some medication - so it would not get infected. Ever since then, she has been my indoor cat and she is the Queen of the Felines in my home. I am always amazed that a beautiful animal, like this, would be a stray animal. I figure someone's loss is my gain.
Bio:
Winston is small for her age and her breed. The vet feels this is do to being malnurished throughout her developing years and early adulthood.
The Vet, and I, also think she was abused by a man/boy during these early years. If a strange male (human) comes into a room, where she feels she cannot escape, she will hide under furniture or cower in a corner. She then starts to tremble and she is so traumatized by the "unknown male person" that she starts to vomit.
It took her 2 years, of constant exposure, to finally get used to my boyfriend, Joe - where he can pet her - and she does not react like she is being tortured or traumatized.
Such a beautiful kitty, yet a real cautious and untrusting personality.
I think the only reason why she trusted me, when she first came to me, was that she was exhausted, over heated, thirsty and hungry - so she took a chance, which I am glad she did.
