Nellie and NapoleonAnneNapoleon, the black-and-white kitten, was the bravest of all, emerging from hiding as he could no longer resist the smell of food. His siblings, Nova (black) and Nellie (tabby), were very timid, nestling in the shadows of their "cave," wide-eyed."It didn't take long for Napoleon to show me he wasn't as frightened as the other two. By the next morning, he'd already figured out I was the lady with the food." Nova was the most timid at first but became bolder over timeAnneHe rose from his nap to greet Anne with renewed enthusiasm while his siblings curiously watched from the cave. "Napoleon is a big foodie, devouring his wet food in seconds. I'm so relieved knowing he'll never have to go hungry again."Soon, Nova and Nellie mustered the courage to poke their heads out, cautiously peeking around the room. Nova and NellieAnneThey surveyed the area, tilting their heads hesitantly, attuned to every creak and rustle. Their bodies remained hidden, tucked safely away.

Napoleon has blossomed into a snuggle bugAnne"Their favorite thing, without a doubt, is food. All three were extremely underweight when they arrived, and the lack of nutrition had stunted their growth, making them much smaller than they should be.""Now, they're food-obsessed and would eat until they got sick if I let them. So I have to carefully manage their portions and gradually bring them to a healthy weight." AnneIt's been about ten days since the trio found their way indoors. Nova and Nellie still have a way to go with socialization, but through patience and love, they are slowly coming around.Nellie's eyes widen at the sight of her treats.
