There is a stray black animal that I have slowly started adopting.
She started out running anytime he saw myself and others coming.
I then began putting out food and water for her. She held his ground when he saw myself and others outside and I wasn’t allowed to look at her. Then he tentatively began getting closer and closer until I petted her. Now he enjoys to be petted and cuddled. I have obtained his real bowls, a collar, flea medicine and an outdoor animal house. I am nervous about it once it gets cold. Ideally I would love his to be comfortable to the point that I could put his fuzzy butt inside. I have a good heating plan that I run all Winter long. She could sleep on our bed or love our heated flooring. She would be safe from predators and not have to compete for food anymore. I wouldn’t mind owning a animal full time. She would be safe and enjoyed. If he doesn’t come into the apartment though, I am going to need to make his outdoor animal apartment warmer. I can’t exactly hook up a real heating plan for her. There are animal heating pads that don’t require electricity. Is that enough heat for a animal though? I have looked into warmer bedding and insulation as well; Creating our own animal home with heating is going to be tough. It would be so much easier if he would just use our home and its heater. Baby steps though. She doesn’t know myself and others well enough yet.
