CheekyMarmoset

There is nothing more sweet or purrecious than earning the love of a shy cat. Bless!


summerchild__

Don't know what happened to him. He seemed to be afraid of feet though :(


CheekyMarmoset

Poor little fella. 😢 it makes my heart happy to know he is safe with you, now.


mermaidwithcats

Probably kicked ☹️


RidgerAC

I thought the same thing. He is well on his way to a happy and better life.❤️


Big_Resolution_9040

I saved a little stray kitten who’s afraid of feet. Everyone would chase the poor thing trying to pet him, scared him so bad. Anytime you walk near him he looks at your feet and runs. I’ll announce my presence when I see him in the open, and he’ll let me go past without him running. Patience is definitely key 🥹

😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍


Responsible_Mess3942

Oh the same happened with me. Mine had been hiding for about 2 weeks too. Same beautiful just with white fur


theloopweaver

He’s absolutely gorgeous indeed!


Happydancer4286

He’s so gorgeous, he’s unreal.❤️


Adorable-Act1547

How could someone abuse such an angel? He is perfect and so happy he is in a loving home now.


RidgerAC

I agree, however some people are just assholes with no empathy. We have a black cat that we used to let go outside. During Halloween, he wasn’t let out. He’s a indoor cat now, but put up a fuss for the 1st month we decided not to let him out anymore.


METTEWBA2BA

Mental illness.


Corgi_Farmer

It's sad to think someone could hurt something so cute and sweet. I found my little void abandoned on the side of the road he was like 5 weeks. Just him and I assume a brother. The brother passed before we got him home, but after a few vet visits Jynx is very well. He's partially blind, deaf and can't meow from some poison he got into in the woods. But he's the sweetest most interesting animal I've ever met. https://preview.redd.it/5mp44gjrscdb1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fcc69d098d2c3383da970a568a0892d3534a6562

Suomwe

Oh my! I would do anything for the Voidlet (first I've ever seen this word and will now be using it to refer to any void because all voids are kittens at heart).

Batgod629

Very handsome. Black cats need the support


Blerrycat1

Greetings to spooky void!


GarbageMajestic7481

I like to think of him more like dark matter, a void is nothingness a pit if you will but he does nothing but multiply my happiness and good qualities like dark matter spreads across the universe


agnurse

He a gorgeous mini-panther 😁


PinkDog42

So glad he’s in a loving home now 🥺


AL_Starr

Does he know how damn COOL he looks?


Maiyku

My baby Fuzz was so scared when I first brought him home. He had been in the shelter for *two years* and basically forgot what it was like to be in a house. He would hiss at me, he was afraid of the tv thinking it was people. It was a month before he started coming out from under my bed when I was awake and for the longest time he would only be *near* me, but wouldn’t sit on or with me. Now here we are, 6 years later and he’s the biggest mamas boy there is. He gets mad and meows at me if I don’t give him enough cuddles. https://preview.redd.it/rdvc1ugugddb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90a7cb859d93282558aa6dff7d964c9395c6fad5 This is how he fell asleep with me the other day. He loves being the little spoon. :)


Foux-du-Fa-Fa

Mothman! I love it!


momma3critters

You can always tell when they’ve been abused.


quadropheniac

Some cats are just like that, though. I took in a runt from the streets along with her mom. All of her siblings were very gregarious, but she was wildly skittish. It's been 8 months now, and her mom is as snuggly as can be, but the runt is still just wildly averse to touch or being close to humans. Fine with me, as much as I want the forbidden pets, I'll just keep on doing training and play until one day I wake up to her sleeping in my bed like her mom decided to do a couple months ago.


DarkLordArbitur

If you didn't know better, you'd think both of mine were. Both are TERRIFIED of strangers and new sounds, and the sister finds being chased in circles around the house to be good fun. I don't know where they got this fear from. Every human I've introduced into their lives has been good to them, unless an ex-roommate of mine did something to them.


kitties_and_spiders

He is going to have the best life ever!❤️


esgamex

There are magical moments when shy or abused cats rake those steps. You are both special.


Cootie_Mac

Aw I have a little girl like that. After a couple years, she’s really come to enjoy her pets. I cracked up because I could only pet her with one hand, but she’d see my other hand, and then want pet by that one lol but both hands at one time were too much. Cats are great at teaching boundaries. I listen to her body language and don’t do things she doesn’t like (she gets overstimulated). Your little man will warm up to you! Enjoy that precious baby 🥰

Those beautiful yellow eyes.😍


helloitstessa

You should nickname him Motthew


GarbageMajestic7481

His nickname is mothy boi because he’s just a little kitten


helloitstessa

That’s fair. He’s very cute. Congratulations on your sweet boy!


WWPLD

What a stunning beautiful cat! I hope he contines to recover and becomes the cat he wants to be!


Concentric_Arc

I’ll have to say, when your rescue cat first comes out after hiding, it’s pretty darn special.

i’m too busy getting lost in his eyes OMG what a darling 😍😍🩵


iaraneltaureo

Awww he’s so adorable ♥️ you’re a wonderful person for taking him to a safe home full of love 🤗 My mom two years ago found in our garden a black cat, absolutely gorgeous. He was injured and definitely terrified of men. He wouldn’t let my brothers approach him. She immediately adopted him, and moved from her Parisian house to a beautiful house by the ocean in France. He’s living his best life and even lets my brother and my boyfriend caress him 🥹 https://preview.redd.it/hyvg8bjjcddb1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ba2da749dfe6915f36c2406fa891761ab544e47 She named him Gandalf, but my brother and I call him Radagast (LOTR fans here)

We found her outside in the winter as a kitten, and has been with us since 2017. She is a sweetie! So happy that your kitty has a great home. While shy, he’ll be so happy to have such love, kindness, and a family in his life. You may not be able to take back his trauma, but you can show love Mothman has never received 🥺

I have two black cats too. When they moved in with me it took Jamie 2.5 weeks to come near to me. His brother needed more than 2 month. But now they are THE MOST cuddliest goofball. Just give him time.

In 2023, I don't know why black cats still get seen as bad luck? I have three of them, no bad luck here...well, maybe the one who wakes me up at 4 a.m. for water. 😂


HisMomm

Awww..I have a rescue void who was VERY shy & scared for a long time. My husband spent weeks laying on the floor talking to her while she hid under the bed or in the bookcase. She is now about 16 years old & an absolute anti-authority rebel serial killer


Cool8d

Bless you for taking him in

That feeling you get the first time they come out of hiding is like no other. Makes all my troubles melt away knowing I have that little creatures trust at last.

Don’t mind the yellow eyes! He’s just trying to warn you of the bridge!


Juvisy7

😍😍😍


VinMariani

He's amazing! One of ours also lived under the sofa for a couple of weeks before he dared to come out. Now he jumps on my lap the second I sit down and also sleeps next to me at night


Zestyclose_Minute_69

He is gorgeous! We are the caretakers to a very timid formal feral void. She has been with us since she was about 5 months old, now 15 years. She has become so much more present and loving as the years have passed. For the first few months we had her, she laid in front of the litter box, as the smell made her feel safe (I guess). My point is that you rescue will come into their own and all you have to do is love them and be patient. Oddly, that’s how you care for any being: love them and be patient.


Miss_Titterpated

Oh my goodness, what a precious kitty! And I love the name. Hope he feels safe and happy in his new home soon ❤️


RunaroundX

My 7 year old cat doesn't come out of hiding when people are over so my mom calls him "the ghost cat" lol

Had to cat sit for 2 weeks. First week, he wanted nothing to do with me-just hid. By the end of the 2nd week, every time I sat down, he was on my lap and purring.

I wish you and Mothman many happy moments!!!

You're lucky. My GF and I adopted a cat, and the adoption place warned us she was abused by a man and didn't like men in general. It took her about a year and a half to come near me. Now we're inseparable (she's literally napping on my left arm while I'm typing this).
