Minerva

Minerva (male) and Havahart (female) came to us from a TNR project we completed this Autumn. In the beginning they were not friendly, but they could not be released back to their property due to abscesses on their chins. After several tests and rounds of medication we discovered they had Enterococcus, and we were able to treat them and get them all cleared up. They stayed with their foster for a little while so they could make them more social and accepting of human company, and they recently came to stay at the rescue. The first couple of weeks they were very scared and would spend most of their day hiding and trying to avoid our volunteers. However, after much love and perseverance from our staff they are blossoming into sweet, affectionate, and calm cats. Minerva has formed a friendship with one of our other residents, Noam, and can often be found cuddling with him on our laundry rack. He still likes to play hard to get and will make you earn his trust before he will accept any pets, but once he realizes you just want to shower him with love, he is all in. Havahart will cuddle with any cat that wants to be near her and has become a huge fan of being cuddled. She will let you pick her up and hold her to your heart’s desire and there is nothing she loves more than having her cheeks scratched.
