How could his family and social services neglect that poor man like this!? Dementia was obviously diagnosed so he should have been cared for!!! Poor soul
So sad he slowly died from dementia. Dementia and alzheimers are the most heartbreaking things a family member can watch happen. Wish he had people to comfort him, and be with him in his last years. At least he had his kitties, even though they werent treated right. Thats all he had. 😞❤
This disaster area is very sad. Dementia is real. We all need to look after the sick and elderly. I feel bad for the cats. This was under terrible circumstances. Glad the cats were rescued.🙂🙂
It was an awful situation. The poor man managed the best he could, looking after himself and the cats. I hope he is looking down, pleased with the fact his cats are safe ♥
This is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. The terrible condition of the house shows how a lonely old man was abandoned by everyone -- yet dozens of empty cat food containers show that he tried his best to provide for his kitties, until he died, without a single human friend. And still, along came a wonderful rescuer who saved his kitty friends, and brought them back to the good health, love and care that he would have wanted for them! 😢😿💞
I could tell the old man cared for his cats because they weren't truly feral and they mourned him. Also, as a pet owner, I can see he bought top brand cat food. They ate better than my kitties who are stuck with me on a budget. WE all need to check in on our elderly neighbors and save the judgement for GOD to do. In the end, I am very happy that all the kitties were saved!
As an 80 year old lady all on her own in a remote place with 5 rescue cats/.. what judgment? I am happy as I am ... Being old is not to be pitied and most of us value our privacy and freedom ... and I am sure there will be more furry dinner guests and bedfellows along soon! I do not want checking on and am capable of using the phone,, rarely do as I have email Only one being patronising and judgmental is you...
Please people. If you have an elderly parents/neighbors etc who has dementia and also own pets, please, please pay attention. Those poor animals might not being fed properly. Sadly, this is not a rare case.
Rest in peace to the old man that was left alone honestly he wasent alone at least he had his cats around him on his final day...😢Thank you So so SO MUCH for you to step into this big rescue mission!!! 💗 im really really happy all the cats got a chance to have a happy furever home and cookie really caught my attention his steps into recovering was amazing!!❤❤❤❤ thank you again!!❤❤❤
Family and friends stop caring about us when we become disabled it's a true fact..I have 4 beautiful cat's and I love them so much I could never see anyone allowing them or that sick man live that way..God bless you for saving the cat's 🙏🙏
It is heartbreaking seeing our elderly or mentally struggling reduced to such squalor. Sometimes it's a matter of pride, and (sometimes) they just give up. Thank you for giving all of those cats a future. I know their owner would be grateful for your kindness.
Oi. Parabéns feliz 👏👏 casa. Parece cama sono gata gata Sofá gata gata Tapete gata gata Deus te abençoe Sempre demais adora também gosta de ti legal 😍 linda 💗💕😅
It is so sad this poor man lived like this for who knows how long. So unacceptable. Poor poor man. Bless this lady so much for being so brave and willing to help.
As a person with severe cognitive and neurodevelopmental disabilities this video gave me some good ideas about what to set up for my loved ones in case I get completely incapacitated. Thank you for saving these orange cats ♥
i feel sorry for the old man, living all on his own with seemingly no help with the household and no company but the kittens. thank you for rescuing them and helping them get a happy life again 💙
My father died of dementia so I know what it does to a person. God bless you for your kindness in both saving these cats and for giving them back their confidence. We have 5 ourselves and they are our babies. ❤
Looks like Cookie was not just scared but depressed. Going years without basic needs especially social ones. Love and play really brought out the hormones and made life enjoyable.
I stumbled across a colony of strays which I learned is an area notorious for people dumping pets. I started feeding and socializing them, and was able to hand over 11 of them to a local rescue before fosters filled up due to kitten season. I’ve gone there every night for over 3 months now. I can pet 3 out of the 6 remaining adults, but it’s getting colder every night. It takes hours of time nightly, and it’s expensive. So I’m trying to hold onto hope, and I’ve refused to abandon them. This video made me so happy to know there are other people caring so deeply for cats. I’m praying for a miracle at this point. There’s something special about this colony. They are all so sweet. Thank you for posting this and helping me hold on to that hope ❤
You're doing a wonderful job caring for those lovely little cats Nancy. It's amazing that you've also managed to get 11 of them fostered through a cat rescue. It's heartbreaking to know some cruel, thoughtless people still dump cats once they get a bit older and are no longer kittens. I'll never understand how anyone could do that. The remaining 6 cats are obviously learning to trust you and that's a very positive sign. Though it would be very expensive supplying all their food, treats, etc. Perhaps local animal rescues and shelters could assist you with some of the food costs? Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with everything and I hope the cats find good homes soon. ☮️🇦🇺
Thank you for helping the cats Nancy. Can you use the cat trap cages they use for CNR (catch neuter release) so you could catch them within a couple of nights?
@@sry8895Good idea, but then you have to be set up to house them or have experienced fosters ready to take them. It's really difficult. I'm working with a group of volunteers in my town on a municipal CNR project, but we have not yet been able to get to the "M" part (Maintain). CNR will reduce the numbers of cats but at some point we will need to figure out how to maintain those that are released.
Call different rescue groups. Post on social media asking for pet food ( don't let people know where you feed unless you trust them ). In my area there are groups both private and government offering free spays. Thank you for helping but don't get into financial bind. Ask for help.
Oh my god. This is the most humane and gentlest rescue i have ever seen. Your kindness and sensitivity to these forgotton little neglected beings is astounding. Thank you for your very important work.
I'm happy that people like you exist (despite some UA-camrs who do this solely for the money, bringing animals into dangerous situations). Thank you for your work, Tiffany~! I'm happy the cats are save and loved and well taken care of now
My throat tightened up and I felt teary 😢How the elderly man must have been before he passed away and his beloved cats, forgotten until you rescued them and kept trying to “tame” Cookie who got his forever home as all the others ❤❤❤ Bless you 💞
You had an exhausting few rescue days with long nights, but somehow had the energy to forge ahead the next day. May you be blessed twofold for your endless compassion. You are a beautiful lady inside and out with the most calming nature and sweet voice. 💖
How ironic are the words in the newspaper next to the big Tom, "saved him." I don't know what the article was about, but in my heart I believe it was about the wonderful work that you do so selflessly. Thank you so very much, Cynthia. 😻
God bless you for this rescue! I am from Germany but watching from the US where I now live. I am working at a senior living facility and always had cats growing up. Needless to say this video really hit home for me! I love my work and I am so happy to serve our elderly! It is so sad to know there are people that are dying home alone!

The moment when a terrified, damaged, animal decides to trust you ❤ Nothing like it in the world ! That first approach, ,first time they let you pet them, first time they sleep with you, nothing but Joy. Thanks for all you do, Tiffany ! 😍 So sad about the gentleman who passed, I said a prayer for him .
This story made me cry. The owner must have loved cats but then got this dementia. It is sad that unfortunately no one noticed the poor cats. The situation must have been also very difficult with all this in the house to see the cats. Thank you so much for the great job you are doing. May God bless you.❤❤❤
How could this poor man have been so utterly neglected? His last years must have been ghastly. The cats were his only friends.
Amen to that because that the only friend I have is a cat 🐈
I don’t mind befriending nobody but cats.
Because we live in a selfish society where it’s all about me me me

Many elderly have no family nearby or ones that care.
No family obviously.

It was a godsend❤
I saw that and thought that it was God who let the pipe leak so the cats could have water 😭❤

This looks more like 'hoarding' than dementia.
@karenstyles2623 My niece had a friend who got dementia in her late twenties.
How horrible though that the original rescuers never left food and water for the rest of them. :(
@@LadyIarConnacht They did.

Dementia is very sad. I have seen too often, once people aren’t recognized, family and friends no longer visit.
I thought the 2 for 1 in the Trap was adorable!
It really was a surprise. Never happened to me before ☺❤
Neuter vaccine always ♥️ thank you for being so patient and understanding 🙏🏻 ❤
❤
That is all what a cat ever wants: a safe bed, warmth, chicken dinners, toys to play with, and love ❤️
They don't ask for much 😥❤
Humans too 😂
Yet rescues won't let me have one 😢
Such a sad tale. The poor owner and all his cats. Thankfully there was a happy ending. Well done.
Thank you ❤
These animals can sense your kindness. I cannot express in words how much I admire you.
