This channel reflects the journey I am on to help colony cats in my area. There have been ups and downs, but that will not stop me from doing this work. Along with videos of colony cats, I will share any research I have done so you can learn with me along the way. The channel will be updated as it is transitioned to something more than simply my personal videos. I hope you enjoy this journey.

Your a beautiful woman inside and out
Hey, yer not too shabby either! And you have already exceeded the challenge Lol. Love ya!
The cats are so cute! I have a cat and her name is coco
Hi Liv! Have you had her long? Have you had other cats? Thank you for being here! Your comments and subscription help the channel grow, and in time this channel will help support these cats - so thank you again for being part of this!
@ I have had her for at least 8 years now, and no I don't have any other cats I can't cuz my cat is not friendly to other cats! Your welcome for supporting your channel
@@sky2389 I like your videos too!
I LOVE the haircut Dawn!❤ You are a wonderful person!😊
Aw thank you! I happen to think you're pretty great too!
I love your hairdo❤😊
Thanks, it was time for a change :)
Yes i actually looked around and have a list of ideas to volunteer at but with not always having use of my car because its being lent out but i have lent my time in other ways throughout life it really does help you feel useful 💕💕💕
Even just walking your neighborhood with a bucket and a trash picker, cleaning up bits is a satisfying way to give. It doesn't have to be complicated :) I'm so glad you have had this experience in the past, and I hope you can try it again soon!
@LilahsLoveLLC oh I do that every time I walk to the gas station. After my daughter wrecked last car I didn't have a car for a couple years there and walking to the store every day practically the garbage drives me nuts so ya .I definitely wish I had one of those pocker thing.. I did walk up to the store the other day and that was a struggle in itself. Unfortunately I have to take breaks in my physical activities these days especially painful in the cold. First priority is just getting the house and kitties taken care of but yes on a good day I would love to be more helpful again
@@Kittyheavenwith21cats Just do what you can, I totally get having limitations. You're a wonderful person and I'm grateful for your friendship!
Giving in service is a gift to yourself as well as the intended recipient. Whether it's walking your elderly neighbor's little dog, picking up trash in your neighborhood, or reading to kiddos at the library - giving in service has no season and no financial cost. I am so excited to see viewer's videos of their service! Don't forget to add the mention (@LilahsLoveLLC) in the description box of your video! Here's to all of you <3 with much love!
I like that reconnecting! Thats a great word for 2025! I shop at goodwill, resale shops! Nothing wrong with it! And you never know what you will find! I hope you find something FUN! Something just for you!
Thrifting can be so fun! It's like a treasure hunt Lol I'm looking forward to adding just a few finds here and there to refresh my wardrobe and make it more "me". Let me know if you find any ways to reconnect. I would love to hear about it!
❤❤❤❤
❤❤😊😊 good day kitties and momma
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoy your chow kitties!! 😸😸😸😸❤️
Precious kitties 😸 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️
Thank you!
What are they eating, i assume it's just cat food, you have a lot of cats, and if you are taking care of the neighborhood cats, thank you from your neighborhood or my neighborhood to yours😅
I feed the cats twice a day. They get dry kibble mixed with canned cat food. I also supplement their food with L-Lysine for respiratory health. During the cold months I give them a protein snack mid-day...usually chicken or tuna or sardines. Cold temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia in cats without a fat reserve to help regulate their body temperature, so I work to build them up to give them the best chance at survival. Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy the channel, and the cats!
Good morning Dawn ❤
Good morning Ginger! I hope you have a great day, and a happy start to your weekend!
The cats are loving the added kitten chow. They love the taste, and it helps add extra fat and protein to fight cold.
Kitties are really loving the kitten chow. They don't know it, but mixing kitten chow with their regular dry kibble helps add fat - needed to fight the effects of cold temps.
Oh, perfect, Dawn 👌
If you are feeling lost or disconnected, trying to recall things that made you happy in your youth or childhood can help you find joy again!
❤ 🐈 😻 ❤ 🐈 😻
Thank you!
Morning Handsome Leo and Beautiful Ling 😻 Have a superb day, Dawn ❤
You too Char! It's Friday at last :)
who do they expect to control the rodent population without TNR?
I'm not sure that they're trying to make sense of anything. I think it's partly a PR thing to be honest. There are solutions, but they don't really seem to be seeing/trying to solve anything. Just finger pointing and pot stirring. In the end, it's always the cats that pay the price :/
Oh nice look at all the beautiful fur babies 💕
Everyone was hangry lol
@LilahsLoveLLC my cats are hangry at every meal acting like they have not eaten in days 😂
Good morning Leo and lang ❤
Hope your day is going well!
@@LilahsLoveLLC thank you so far so good. How has your day been?
@@Kittyheavenwith21cats It's been a great day ☺
@monstamunch8 A special short for you! I know how you love this guy!
Thanks Dawn! he's the best❤️❤️❤️❤️ Trying to re-send the wellness, but its not on your wishlist anymore🥰🥰🥰
If you are suffering, I want to urge you to look for help. Please reach out, or in the least take time for self-care. I know therapy is costly, and not everyone has access. Something you can do (that helped me) is try going to your local library. You can try out some self-help books, or even just some books that make you smile. Sometimes, all we need is a brief escape into a story we enjoy reading. If reading isn't your thing, maybe a sketchbook could help you express your struggles. Journaling is another way to release - but be careful of negative self-talk. I hope you find this video and tips helpful. I truly am thinking of you - whoever and wherever you are. That's why this video exists :)
Leo is improving since he started coming inside at night to avoid the worst of the low temps. He is also on some antibiotic now, and seems to be doing better. His personality is similar to Greysons. He is very laid back and sweet. He doesn't get upset over taking medicine. He is patient and kind. I had previously thought that Ling may be blind, but apparently she does see normally. Turns out that she just has the crossed eye gene from her Siamese background :)
❤Thank you for your kindness and sweet soul!!!😊
I appreciate you being here, and your love for the kitties! I hope you have a beautiful day!
Thankgoodness ❤
Over the next 3 days we have great daytime temps over 40 - so I will be bulking them up on extra protein and prepping the shelters for the next blast of winter weather. Leo has adjusted to a new routine of coming at night, so he should be okay. Just a few more weeks of rough winter stuff and we should get clear of the worst temps. By end of February it should be more bearable for them. Just have to get them through this part.
@@LilahsLoveLLC Can't wait lol
❤❤❤😊 you are a success
Ok. Kitty kitty❤❤❤❤❤
I agree about the schools. I think they should teach more practical skills like balancing your checkbook, learning about credit cards, mortgages, and just real daily living skills physically and emotionally instead of the life skill class they gave us where you were given a water balloon baby and had to "take care" of it over the weekend. Ridiculous.
God Bless you!
Thank you. Have a wonderful evening!
Yay . Nice to see kitties out in the sunshine
We've been lucky the last 2 days. They needed the break.
@LilahsLoveLLC yay 😀 for sure..so worries me on cold days
Beautiful babies ❤
They are so sweet. I love each one so much. I just want the best for them!
Thank you for helping these precious souls ❤❤❤
Golden, it is my pleasure. And each of you is helping them with me just by being here. So, Thank You as well! :)
You are who you are. Im an introvert. When I was growing up I thought I was wierd and tried to go against my nature and be more extroverted. I was never really comfortable in those situations but thought that was the way "normal" people were. Now that I've accepted myself for who I am I'm way more happy. Are you able to get care credit? It's interest free for a certain period of time and if you make payments and pay it off in time you will pay no interest. I've had to use it before for my cats.
I could maybe get insurance for a couple of the indoor kiddos, but I care for so many (and a lot have pre-existing conditions like FIV). My vet does work with me some, and also accepts donations directly toward my bill (he is wonderful). I will look into getting a couple of the inside youngsters covered. Every bit helps! Have you heard of Lemonade? That's one I am interested in.
So many young girls try to emulate the unrealistic values society and the media place on women. We carry those feelings of inferiority as adults. I think we grow up being programmed to be subservient and that we can't say no. We must be all things for all people and we push our own needs into the background. Reprogramming yourself to embrace who you are, love yourself and making yourself number one is a hard thing to do and it takes time, baby steps. I finally got to the point as I got older (Im 67), to not give a heck about what other people think about me and let go of those who don't value me. My circle of friends diminished to almost nothing but I am happier for it.
Doesn't it feel amazing to let that heavy weight go? To be able to say that you are happy - and genuinely mean it, is such a beautiful moment in life! I'm hopeful that younger women may be having a better experience since there appears to be more empowerment these days - but we have so far to go. And to be fair, not just women. Young men are often held to nearly impossible standards of worth, strength, etc as well. You have boosted my confidence with your insight, and I really appreciate hearing a snippet of your journey!
Enjoy your chicken kitties!!!😸😃
I've put out some chicken, and they are gobbling it down as usual!
I try not to regret things or see things as failures. Everything that has happened to me has made me who I am and has taught me important things. I am happy with who I am. I think I have learned and grown more from the "bad" in my life than the "good." You are an amazing person, and you have done the best with what you have been given every step of the way. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a follow-up to post later :) Thank you so much for all the help and grace you have given me. That's a true friend, and what love looks like. Do you know how amazing you are?! I saw something special on day one. It really is true that some of us have more winding paths - but how better to see and experience all the sights on the journey! I love that our paths crossed here and we are doing this together!
The kitties ❤ you Dawn!
They're stuck with me Lol :)
I had a dream in high school to be a veterinarian too or more an assistant. I even started school for that. Turns out im definitely not smart enough nor could I afford it. I believe you can and overcome it all. I don't know if failure is the right word i think sometimes things happen for a reason.. you got this❤
If I could rewind knowing what I now know, I would pursue becoming a vet. But, where I am today - it's not a priority anymore. Funny how life changes you. Maybe you have something there about things happening for a reason. I don't regret the process that brought me here though because I'm just finding happiness in my life. That is something I have always struggled with. The fact that I am finally happy in my life tells me that I must be on the right path and to keep going. I'm ready to put down the past and make a difference in the future...even if it's just for colony of kitties :) They matter too.
@LilahsLoveLLC the past is behind us . learn from it and only remember the good stuff. All we have is our future. I'm happy to hear that you are finding happiness. I mean what's not to be happy about you have a great husband Wonderful kids, great friends a roof over your head and tons of kitties and dog to love and take care of.. sounds pretty awesome to me 😊
You're not alone. I've made choices that I would later to regret.. pick myself up, do the best you can with what u have.. hang in there ! Never give up .. Take care 😊
We're all learning as we go, and that's the beauty of it. There's always time to grow :)
I love that name, babycakes. So cute.
She apparently approves too. Even though she refuses socialization she does respond to her name :) I find it so weird that she never accepted socialization. Her sister Dora is is a total attention sponge lol
