Meet Ma Barker, my first introduction to the world of scaredy- cats (notice that I didn’t say “feral”).
Thank you, Lorna Jones, for showing me how to begin giving these cats some loving. There you were placing your hand- albeit inside a heavy-duty welding glove- alongside the crate and gently stroking this beast. It was, at this point, that working with these cats became a passion.
That was in June of 2013. I wanted to reflect on Ma B today because I haven’t thought about her for such a long time and today, someone pointed her out to me. She is still at the shelter and she is such a lovely girl waiting, like too many others, for a forever home. I will make it a point to drop in on her more often.
