This is pretty and petite Belle! She was a young mommy cat and had her little son in tow when both were tossed out of their previous home and had to defend for themselves in the harsh environment outdoors.

Being very frightened, they did not know where to go, did not know how and where to find food and water. Their madeshift ‘home’ was amongst the bicycles under a void deck and they were always hiding behind some folded cartons. They survived by rummaging nearby bins every night after midnight, gobling down on leftovers.

One day, a feeder spotted them when they were resting in a dark quiet corner and she started feeding them. Such a harsh environment was never suitable for them and plans were made to trap both to be sterilised and rehomed. The trapping was fortunately a success. Belle and her son were subsequently fostered while the feeder looked for suitable adopters for them.

Belle became quite hostile and untouchable, even towards her son, ever since she was trapped and hence she had to undergo rehabilitation before being assessed fit to be rehomed. Her son, on the other hand, being a kitten, was playful and adorable, unaffected by the trapping and was successfully rehomed.

Fast forward, it has been almost 2 years and Belle’s rehabilitation is progressing well! She has since integrated well with other cats. She learns how to integrate and interact by observing how the fosterer and the other resident cats behave towards one another. She has gradually learnt to trust humans again and now allows to be touched.

It is preferred that Belle be adopted to a home with existing cat(s) that has mild temperament. Reason being, Belle is more comfortable having another cat with her as companion. It is also beneficial for Belle to be able to follow and learn from the resident cat(s) which will make it easier for her to interact with the adopter.

The adopter also needs to be extremely patient with Belle, to give her time and space to gradually warm up to you. She is not cuddly or a lapcat (but who knows she may be one in future) and when she warms up to you, she doesn’t mind sleeping next to you or be by your side when you are doing your personal stuff.

Oh yes, Belle is super treats-motivated (she only loves Gold-D treats) and the adopter must be willing to continue with the treats every night. (Hope it is not too much to ask for!) This nightly activity of feeding Belle treats is also a good way of bonding with her.

After reading Belle’s background, are you the one for her? Are you willing to open up your heart and home to give Belle a second chance? To have a home of her own so that she can shower you with all her sweetness and love?
