Over time, in the shelter have arrived also cats like Puck: so shy and scared, that you barely see them. Many of them probably suffered a trauma as kittens, which neither the foster nor the shelter could make them forget. A very understanding family would eventually succeed, even if it took years, but very few of these timid cats get this chance. So, if they are in the shelter, they probably will stay - we have dozens of such cats, each more beautiful than the other, who will never be adopted. Puck was also a small, frightened kitten once, found on the streets by someone who felt sorry for him. It wasn't easy to catch him, he was extremely scared and it took two more people to manage to lift him up and take him to foster, where he stayed for two years. He would have remained much longer and better, but luck didn't favor him at all. He had been "adopted" by a very beautiful and protective cat, who raised him as her own kitten and protected him from the other cats in the family. But when this one, being old, passed away, Puck was left alone. He spent most of his days hidden, and in the evenings he went out into the yard and sat alone in some corner, without having the courage to enter the house. But at least no one hurt him... until one day when, annoyed by a neighbor's cat, the oldest member of the family - a quiet cat by nature - beat up Puck the timid one. The other cats followed the example, and despite the family's efforts to make them understand, Puck continued to be not only excluded but beaten whenever they had the chance. What could he do, poor thing? He went for food only after the others left and spent most of the time hidden. He was absolutely terrified! The decision to bring him to the shelter was not easy. We knew that we would not "see" him for a while, that there was a possibility that he might be bullied in the shelter, but he had no other chance, even though he is so beautiful... In addition, we had recently moved and we hoped that, together with the new yard - where the cats spend more time than in the house during the summer, the space would be large enough for him to find his own corner. We decided to try, and unfortunately, it was harder for him than we ever expected. Upon arrival, we isolated him in a room so he could get used to us and to the other cats, to be able to see us through the door without feeling threatened. We had some boxes stored there, and no matter how we placed covered baskets and beds, Puck always ended up hiding among the boxes or on top of them. We picked him up, talked to him, but he trembled with his whole being. I don't think I've ever felt such fear... After some time, we let him out of the room, he couldn't spend the rest of his life there. Then came another long period, during which he hid either in the grass, well concealed so that you could barely see him, or on the barn of the terrace roof. Some of us managed to get close enough to put a bowl of food in front of him, but not always, especially if he was at the end of the yard. Somehow, he got used to accepting food on the barn, even eating eagerly whatever we put in the bowl. But entering the house, no way! Not even when it was already cold... We prepared covered baskets with blankets, isolated as best as we could, so that at least he could take refuge there. We hadn't noticed that the other cats were "hunting" him, which was actually a good sign, but we didn't know what happened after we turned off the lights. Until, by accident, we saw it! He entered the room! Our timid one knew how to use the door and knew very well where the food bowl was. Well, we thought, let him be, as long as we know he eats. Two years have already passed since Puck has been with us, but he still keeps his habit of coming out of hiding either when the lights are off, or when he feels safe. Otherwise, you can find him next to Blair, in their favorite corner, where they keep each other company and wait for us to go to our homes, so they can also take care of their own. Or next to the cats who have been with us for a long time, calm and understanding with other cats, used already to the constant going back and forth from the

Home » Adoptii » Pisici in cautarea unei familii » Puck Puck M-am nascut in: 9 mai 2018 Sunt aici din: iunie 2021 Imi place sa: nu fie oameni in zona Nu imi place sa: ma cauti prea mult Mi-am gasit casuta: offfffff… inca nu De-a lungul timpului, in adapost au ajuns si pisici ca Puck: atat de timide si fricoase, incat abia le vezi. Multe dintre acestea au suferit probabil o trauma, pui fiind, pe care nici fosterul, si nici adapostul nu i-a putut face sa o uite. O familie super intelegatoare ar reusi in cele din urma, chiar daca ar dura ani, insa foarte putine dintre mandrutele fricoase primesc aceasta sansa. Asa ca, daca sunt in adapost, probabil la noi vor si ramane – avem zeci de astfel de pisici, care de care mai frumoase, care insa nu vor fi adoptate niciodata.Puck a fost si el un puiut mic si amarat candva, gasit pe strazile orasului de catre o persoana careia i s-a facut mila de el. Nu a fost usor de prins, era extrem de speriat si a fost nevoie de inca doi oameni pentru a reusi sa il ia pe sus si sa il duca in foster, unde avea sa ramana doi ani. Ar fi ramas inca mult si bine, insa norocul nu i-a suras deloc. Fusese „adoptat” de o pisica extrem de frumoasa si protectiva, care l-a crescut ca pe puiutul ei si care l-a aparat de celelalte pisici ale familiei. Insa cand aceasta, batrana fiind, s-a stins din viata, Puck a ramas singur. Isi petrecea zilele mai mult ascuns, iar seara iesea in tarc si statea singurel in ceva colt, fara sa aiba curajul sa mai intre in casa de bunavoie. Dar macar nu ii facea nimeni rau… pana intr-o zi cand, enervat de un motan din vecini, cel mai in varsta membru al familiei – o pisica pasnica de firea ei, l-a luat la bataie pe Puck cel fricos. Celelalte pisici i-au urmat exemplul si, in ciuda eforturilor familiei de a-i face sa se inteleaga, Puck a continuat sa fie nu doar exclus, dar si batut ori de cate ori aveau ocazia. Ce era sa faca, saracul de el? Mergea la mancare doar dupa ce ceilalti plecau si statea ascuns mai tot timpul. Era absolut ingrozit! Decizia de a-l aduce il adapost nu a fost usoara. Stiam ca nu il vom „vedea” o vreme, ca exista posibilitatea ca si in adapost sa fie terorizat, insa alta sansa nu avea, chiar daca este atata de frumos… In plus, ne mutaseram recent si speram ca, impreuna cu tarcul cel nou – in care, vara, mandrutele isi petrec mai mult timp decat in casa, spatiul sa fie suficient de mare incat sa isi gaseasca si el coltisorul lui. Am decis sa incercam si, din pacate, a fost mai greu pentru el decat ne-am fi asteptat vreodata. La sosire, l-am izolat intr-o camera ca sa se obisnuiasca si cu noi, si cu pisicile, sa ne poata vedea prin usa, fara sa se simta amenintat. Aveam niste cutii depozitate acolo, si degeaba am pus cosuri acoperite si patuturi, ca Puck al nostru tot printre cutii sau deasupra lor se refugia. Il luam in brate, vorbeam cu el, insa se cutremura cu toata fiinta lui. Nu cred ca am simtit vreodata o asemenea frica… Dupa o vreme, l-am lasat si pe el sa iasa din camera, nu isi putea petrece acolo tot restul vietii. A urmat o noua perioada, destul de lunga, in care se ascundea fie in iarba, pitit atat de bine incat abia il vedeai, fie pe barna de la acoperisul terasei. Unii dintre noi reuseam sa ne apropiem suficient de mult incat sa ii punem un bol de mancare in fata, insa nu intotdeauna, mai ales daca era in fundul tarcului. Cumva, s-a obisnuit insa sa accepte mancarea pe barna, ba chiar topea cu pofta tot ce ii puneam in bol. Insa de intrat in casa, nici vorba! Nici macar cand era deja frig… I-am pregatit cosuri acoperite cu paturi, izolate cat de bine, ca macar acolo sa se poata refugia. Nu observaseram ca pisicile sa il „vaneze”, ceea ce totusi era semn bun, dar nici nu stiam ce se intampla dupa ce stingem luminile. Pana cand, intamplator, l-am vazut! Intrase in camera! Fricosul nostru stia sa foloseasca usita si stia foarte bine unde se afla farfuria cu mancare. Bine, ne-am gandit, fie cum vrea el, doar sa stim ca mananca. Au trecut deja doi ani de cand Puck e la noi, insa si-a pastrat obiceiul de a iesi din ascunzis ori cand luminile sunt stinse, ori cand se simte el mai in siguranta. In rest, il gasesti langa Blair, in coltul lor preferat, unde isi tin companie si asteapta sa plecam catre casele noastre, sa isi poata vedea si ei de a lor. Sau pe langa pisicile care sunt de multa vreme la noi, pasnice si intelegatoare cu alte pisici, obisnuite deja cu acel du-te-vino continuu din adapost. Ele macar, il accepta. A facut totusi un mic progres: cu anumite persoane, se incumeta sa se plimbe prin adapost mai relaxat, sau sa mearga la farfuria din mijlocul camerei. Pozele cu el sunt rare si nu tocmai reusite, exact din aceasta cauza. Mai reusim sa facem cate una si atunci cand, extrem de curios de fire, isi invinge frica si isi face aparitia dupa vreun colt de perete, sa vada si el cu ce ne ocupam, sau ce se mai intampla prin baie – pentru ca deh, este totusi o usa care o tinem mai mereu inchisa, iar ce se afla in spatele ei, este un adevarat mister pentru Puck. Daca ati sti cat de pacat e de Puck… Lui ii place sa fie mangaiat, de fapt, si asta am observat-o cand a avut nevoie de tratament si, prin urmare, a stat izolat o vreme. Refuza sa manance, era extrem de speriat, insa niciodata nu ne-a zgaraiat sau nu ne-a muscat. Ne apropiam incet de el, si incercam ca macar atunci sa il convingem sa accepte si el un pic de mangaiere. Si, dupa primele 10 secunde, simteam cum se relaxeaza treptat… Nu dura mult, dar suficient incat sa ne dam seama ca acest motan extrem de speriat si-ar reveni, in timp. Mult timp, dar daca ar avea vreodata aceasta sansa, chiar suntem convinsi ca s-ar transforma intr-un motan iubitor, un adevarat Fat Frumos al pisicilor, cuceritor de inimi. Pentru ca da, chiar atat de frumos este! Adopta-ma! Adopta-ma la distanta! Adoptia unei pisicute din adapostul nostru se face in baza unui contract de adoptie. De ce? Pentru ca ne pasa! Conditiile impuse de Asociatia Prietenii Pisicilor sunt usor de respectat atunci cand persoana care adopta este responsabila si iubeste intr-adevar pisicile. Va multumim!
