Mumma Bear

Little Mumma Bear had hard a rough start to life, finding herself the mother of two tiny kittens while little more than a kitten herself. In spite of Mumma Bear's best efforts, and the efforts of her carer, one of her kittens sadly died at only 5 weeks of age. Mumma poured her devotion and care into her remaining kitten, her daughter Shadow, who is the mirror image of her mum.

Mumma Bear is is still learning to trust humans, and as she is rather nervous needs a quiet and relaxed home with a confident or experienced cat owner.

We are delighted to be able to say that Mumma Bear is starting to slowly blossom in care, and recently played for the very first time!

When scaredy cats come to trust humans enough to let their guard down and play it is a very special moment, and usually marks turning a very positive corner as play is a fantastically useful tool to help rehabilitate scaredy cats.

Playing with a long teaser toy like Da Bird gives shy cats a safe way to interact with humans and get used to scary things like moving arms and eye contact, with the big confidence boost that hunting and catching 'prey' gives them. End the play session with a little treat and you will have a quick and easy routine that will build the cats confidence, trust and positive associations with humans.
