      Honestly, if they're shy the best thing to do is ignore them. They will eat, drink, etc without you watching. After a while the cat won't see you as a possible threat but a curiosity. Then when they approach you let them make the first move.

      They/Them can be used when talking about someone non-binary but by default when you don't know the gender you use They when talking about it.
      Writing or constantly saying "He or She" when talking about an animal would be right but tiring, it's faster to use They.

    I spent a year trying to gain the trust of a feral cat. She was deathly shy of people and it took daily work for months and months, but then one day... actually the day before she had kittens, she walked over and plopped her chubby butt down on my foot and let me start petting her. I was so happy with this since it meant she would let me help her with her babies, which she did. She eventually decided she wanted to live inside the house in my room. She brought her kittens to the front door one night, it was adorable, so of course I let them in.
    It is so rewarding to finally get a cat to trust you, Once she accepted me, she became the sweetest, most affectionate cat. At least 5 times a day she would bug me until I rolled my chair over to my bed so she could rub against my face for a couple minutes. I miss her so much. I wanted to keep her so badly but I couldn't. Kind of broke my heart but fortunately she was adopted with the other cat I was fostering so she wasn't completely alone in a new place. I miss you so much Missy.

    Im so happy they’re not going to let them be separated. It’s always sad when a foster animal becomes close to someone and has to be ripped apart from them. It feels almost antithetical to their betterment.

    don't know why nothing makes me cry but these do. My heart melts knowing that what once was alone and lonely wonderful creature finally finds a loving home that can appreciate him, and he even gets a sibling that cares. That is so beautiful, if we all have that even us humans, there would be no reason to be angry or be bad, we'd all find redemption.
