Damian had received few caresses throughout his cat life. This feline was abandoned in a park and didn't trust anyone. Every time a passerby passed by, he hid, a mistrust resulting from a bad experience or a non-existent socialization with his surroundings.
Her case required a lot of patience, all of which influencer Yanina Maciel has, who gained popularity during the pandemic by being a kind of cat sitter.
Maciel decided to rescue Damián from the streets. He took it to his house, but the cat was reluctant to approach him. He would hide and have violent reactions every time they tried to feed him or pet him.
Influence gave him a corner of his house, where he could not hide from her. Although the feline preferred to hide at the top of the kitchen, in one of the rooms far away from him. There, she offered him food day after day, so that the animal associated it with a positive action. Little by little, he accepted her.
The next step was to buy a remote stroker, to definitively gain their trust. With that instrument and with prizes, Damián changed completely. The cat was no longer suspicious and did not have violent reactions. On the contrary, he allowed himself to be caressed by the young woman, who will now find him a family that can give him all her affection.
"Once again, love and patience were able to achieve what the first days seemed impossible," explains Maciel, who assures that it is a complex process and for which "there is no magical solution other than patience, love and dedication."
