These two adorable little monsters were left in a box out front of my wife's pet store, they purred so much when I was holding them. Don't worry they already have a foster, they will get well taken care of.

You're not wrong, but it varies a lot.

My cat Tommy and his sisters were found in a tire when they were four weeks old. They all had severe eye infections and ear mites, and they were in an unsafe place. So they had to be taken from their parents' care.

All four kittens were wicked smart and grew up to be very social adults. Tommy loves people, and he wants to be friends with every cat he sees.

But he was rescued by someone who knew what they were doing, and I know how to socialize cats well.

It sounds like these two will be going to someone who knows what to do. So there's a lot of reason to be optimistic they will wind up social and happy. :)
