Our gorgeous boy Freeman came to us along with 6 of his siblings & half siblings back in July 2024. Though Freeman & his siblings were born in a home, a couple of days later they were removed out of the home by the 2 mother cats due to them actually being feral cats who were just being looked after by a lady who was trying to gain their trust.
A few weeks passed and eventually the mother cats came back along with each of their babies where the lady then continued to look after & care for them. In the meantime she then contacted us to see if we could step in to help take some once they were old enough to leave mum, within this conversation it was mentioned how a ginger Mainecoon had been hanging around them all and it was clear to them he was an intact male, when we found out that most the kittens were then ginger it made sense very quickly who the dad was.
Once Freeman and his siblings came into the rescue it was clear these poor babies were scared and reserved, though they had knowledge of humans thanks to that lady, they still for the first 4 most important weeks of their lives, grew up ferally leaving them lacking certain skills or trust in humans. However with time, patience & looks of love they all started to come around.
Freeman was one of the most nervous in the bunch and we knew he'd need a household that would give him time and that is exactly what we were able to find him and as suspected, because of this hes blossomed beautifully.
Here are his updates for you all.

A little bundle of energy that spends every minute bouncing around winding the other cats up to play.
He really enjoys sprinting around the bedroom at 0400.
Hes very affectionate when he's tired, especially towards Megan. Like to lie on her lap on the sofa.
