Maylin came to us as a very spicy girl. Apparently she was friendly until the day she showed up at the shelter. And the longer she stayed the worse she got.
They handed her off to me to see if I could help bring her back around. It was decided that she was not a candidate for adoption and never would be. There was no place to release her so we just opened the kennel and let her decide what to do. She knows where the cat door is. She uses it. But she also loves living on the kitchen island.
If we're very very careful, she will let us pet her now. But not too much. And you have to go through the whole ritual of getting permission first.
She is. But she is getting better.
