I adopted one once...s/he was a really young one that would not leave me alone. Just kept coming up to me crying for help if s/he caught me in my yard. So I helped but eventually found a good home. I don't usually do that but this little one was special. S/he didn't want my animals around though and so I had to re-home ?Having adopted a mostly feral cat who spent 3 or 4 days up in our floor rafters, but would come downstairs crying every night, weighs not more than 5 lbs, & to this day, you cannot pick her up & hold her longer than 20-30 seconds, she is amazingly affectionate, but she has to come to you. She favors, when you're asleep on your side, curling up on your hip. I don't know why.
