Hi there, on your message about your little baby, I have had some experience on skittish babies. The best advice I can give is to be patient. You are showing her a whole new way of life! My Oreo and Mia came from a breeding nightmare, they just weren't old enough to breed yet. They hadn't been handled and were very afraid of people. We just made very deliberate and slow movements around them, gave them lots of love and were sure not to corner them or make them feel like they were out of control in a situation. Neither of them know what to do with toys yet, they still look at king like he is crazy but they will come around. I think the best thing to do is to move slow. Her entire life has been used as a tool, you are showing her another way of life. Although you have a lot to overcome, a loving heart can go a long ways to overcome a cold hand! Good luck and I commend you on making the choice to take on a baby that may not always be someones first choice!
