I was born in Tehran's Laleh Park. Here is a video where I lived before I was rescued brought back to health and sent to Canada.
Tehran has many feral cats. I was only one kitten of very many.
“A feral cat's behavior can be quite different from that of a domesticated cat. They are not used to being handled or petted, and may not respond well to attempts at socialization. It is important to give feral cats space and time to adjust to human presence,” explains a wildlife biologist.
Feral cats often form colonies, with multiple cats living together in a social hierarchy. These colonies serve as a form of protection and support for the cats, allowing them to share resources and watch out for one another. While feral cats may seem solitary at first glance, they actually have complex social structures within their colonies.
Us feral cats often are not be easily domesticated, with time and patience, some feral cats can learn to trust humans and become more socialized. It is important to approach feral cats with care and respect their boundaries. Though I was found and lived in the veterinary for 6 months, I still have many feral behaviours. I will not let anyone pick me up, I hiss and fight when startled and I am not afraid to scratch and bite.
I am very lucky that my Peep was OK with that.

National Kitten Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated annually on July 10th. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of kitten adoption and to promoting responsible pet ownership. Kittens are adorable and playful, but they also require a lot of care and attention. By celebrating National Kitten Day, we can help to ensure that all kittens find loving homes where they will be cherished and taken care of.
The origins of National Kitten Day are unknown, but it is believed to have been started by a group of animal lovers who wanted to raise awareness about the importance of kitten adoption. The day has since gained popularity, and is now celebrated by animal shelters and rescue organizations across the country. On National Kitten Day, many shelters and rescues offer special adoption events and discounts on kitten adoption fees. This is a great opportunity to find a furry new friend to add to your family.

I am glad you came to your forever home, Marv. It is nice that the people were feeding the ferals. Do they TNR? Maybe some are less feral than the others and can hopefully get their own home too.
ReplyDeleteKittens! You sure did luck out Marv, that's a great thing too!
ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart that there are so many kitties without homes. I am so glad you were rescued. XO
ReplyDeleteMarv, I'm very glad you got to come to a good home. It's sad to see so many feral cats and kittens.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "We wish every kitten could have a good home like we all did."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "Yep, we were born on the street but we got picked up very young and Mama saw us in a big cage at the Humane Society and, well, here we are."
Oona: "Oona was also born on the street and left on Dada's cousin's porch by a neighborhood cat."
Charlee: "By the way, you are still very cute, Marv!"
We sure do love kittens, and we love you, too, Marv. We're so glad you found your perfect happily ever after there there with your family. XO
