6:55 Uncle Ben the breed of cat is called a Turkish Van and they're gorgeous longhaired cats that actually love water. There's stories of owners having to keep their toilets closed to keep their Turkish Vans from jumping in. Make sure those kibbies don't get any ideas!
Either that or they're Turkish Angoras and either way they'll be very pretty kitties. That momma may have escaped from a cat farm or a not very nice breeder since purebreds like that don't just show up as strays.
from my understanding 95%+ of cat breeds are just "domestic" + fur length (essentially a mutt) if its a rescue with no papers or lineage right? just because i have a large tabby with thumbs doesnt mean hes part maine coon, nor does heterochromia mean its a turkish van. these kittens just look like every other domestic short/medium hair out there, absolutely beautiful, but the breed is just "cat"
@@cami5173yeah, especially since most turkish vans have their orange ears and tail markings. not all obviously, but it's probably more likely the tibby is just a domestic shorthair, possibly with turkish van dna though.
Yeah, my cat is listed as a “domestic shorthair”. His dominant physical and personality traits are all Blue Abyssinian (we wanted Russian blue or Abyssinian or both). DNA test says he’s 16% Maine Coone, the rest is all under 10% and neither Russian blue nor Abyssinian were enough to mention… so one never knows with a cat unless it’s from a reputable breeder. 😂
I realise that the reason I religiously watch Uncle Ben is because I always loved animals and wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid but grew out of it because I know how difficult the animal care field can be. So this channel kinda fulfills my childhood dream in a way. Thank you for doing what you do and will always keep watching and liking your videos in the future.
For me, I wanted to run a pet store, but eventually adulthood, and now it's even tough for me to keep an apartment. Honestly, I think this one's one of the best channels on youtube. Honestly, There's very few youtubers that watch this consistently
I was a vet tech for 10 years because I loved animals. I managed to fail upwards into the emergency hospital, working 12 hour night shifts, getting covered in shit, piss, and blood. I wound up with a bad ankle, PTSD, and alcoholism. Still the coolest job I've ever had.
100% same. Wanted to be a vet so bad, started studying how they help animals in highschool, realized I did not have the fortitude for half the awful shit they have to witness. I still cringe when uncle ben gets various parasites out of various wounds of these poor animals, but force myself to watch anyways lmao. Maybe one day I can desensitize myself enough to be a volunteer someplace near me or something.
I showed you to my mom for the first time with this video and this is what she had to say: "I loved it! Thank you. Such a cool guy!" God bless you, Ben.
@@EnverHalilHoxha1917 it was in one of his previous videos can’t remember which one but he released it then Kevin or Karen can’t remember which one caught it in mid air and ate it 😂
Ben, I've been watching your channel for a long time now and it's amazing to see where you've come from to what you've built for yourself and these animals in need. Admittedly I am atheist, but you are truly doing God's work and if anything or anyone was to make me believe, it's you. You are such a caring, funny, honest, strong, admirable hero to everyone who watches you and to the animals you take care of whether they know it or not. You are an incredible inspiration to so many people and I truly hope you continue to spread your positivity and kindness throughout the Urban Rescue Ranch, the world, and wherever life takes you. ❤
I love the fact that you took in the bats, there so much fun to watch over. I remember when I was a kid me and my siblings found a young bat on the edge of a forest hurt during the day(most likely fell from a tree) so we told our dad and he got a bucket picked it up and took it home. We then took care of it for a week or 2 before he was flying all on his own again so we brought him back to where we found him and let him go! Love your stuff uncle Ben keep up the good work ❤
Thanks for being a cool and caring bro uncle ben. Modern Adam bringing animals to a higher level, distributing names like it was nothing at all. Godspeed brother.
Bro, the space you've created and nurtured is beyond amazing. I'm a builder/welder, own a landscaping company, and would like to offer to volunteer some free time and my skill sets in the event you ever have a project you need help with. I'm in ATX. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness!
my dad had a turkish angora with two coloured eyes. if theyre with a white coat and like that theres a good chance they are also 100% deaf so look out for that and if so, probably keep the fella indoors on account of being so close to a highway. theyre really funny: theyll be the same exact opposite of afraid of a running vacuum and come to check out the weird vibrations it makes, they wont hear a shower running and just jump in and then out about as quick. its kinda crazy how good their other senses get as a result; i only managed to sneak up behind the little bugger once he became so incredibly good at feeling footsteps. dont even get me started on their cringe broken meows. deaf cats are a blast to have
Ideally rhey are in larger amounts of water that moves it downstream. They shouldn't be in bathtubs but except for humans wrecking their habitat and murdering their parents.
You give 100% of yourself to the animals. I love you because of that. I love animals too. If I could go back in time, I would have given myself to animals too.
Wow Ben😃♥️. GOD♥️molded and shaped YOU to rescue 🛟 HIS creation , to take care of and release. You’re a Blessed Young Man♥️and we ARE BLESSED , because you share your gifts and talents with us🎶💙. Thank You and Your Volunteers for caring for all these animals 🌸♥️
With how good beavers are at making wetlands and how crucial they are for the environment, I absolutely love that you've been taking such great care of them. God bless you and all the animal's you help
Im back! New account. Omg bluejay friend! That would've been my dream come true as a kid! The story i wrote about me never seeing one always wanted to. Finally, I did in my 20s. But that little guy, omg! 😍 i so would make friends with him 🥰 Baby beavers are truly adorable! I will be praying and sending energy healing for his transitioning outside for an easy and effortlessly transitioning 💕 Yay more bat video 😍🥰💕 omg those babies to precious and mama so cute when eating her sounds. Yay i got to see up close on kitty different color eyes. Wished i so could get that lil one ✨️💖 the one i saw as a kid was an adult cat. That moment on i said i would get all color cats and one with eyes like that and white. Hawks and owls love my yard for birds and mice that i feed lol. My native american spirit animal astrology since im two a cusp. Is Hawk and Wolf 💗 Ive had some swollow tailed kite birds fly above my houses wherever i live at same thing its cool. I think the last post i made you were asking us if we would like to see some of your animal rehabing past etc. I was saying how i would love to see all of that! That would also help us understand more like me the ones who missed all of that. Plus you can do like a re due of how its like now versus then or many other things. Hopefully blue jay gets to be your buddy i would love to see more of him to nd the bats. I hope you have them in your bat house 😍🙏 more cute bat vids to. I saw about 8 now here. Yay! So there growing ✨️💖 they looked less. But just saw them yesterday evening. I love when they fly around me the energy is awesome!
6:07 Bats are amazing. Rehabbers who turn them away should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Micro bats eat millions of mosquitos…they are our friends.🤗🤗🤗
That white cat is a turkish van yes! Which is where i live! There are tons of them here but ive never seen one outside of their homeland thats pretty rare! Also fun fact about turkish vans, they are the most geneticly close cat breeds to tigers so most of them love to swim. You can try that if you want. Lots of love from turkey,van !
I met a Turkish Van when I was volunteering at a shelter! He was a large orange and white cat. It was at that time that I learned about their love of water! He got a good home.
@@abdu8183 of all the cats I worked with I absolutely fell for him. I wanted him! But husband is highly allergic. Still think about that cat’s amazing personality. Funny and very smart for a cat.
@@abdu8183 sometimes allergies change but we have been very careful not to try his luck around a cat for some time because he reacts so badly. Maybe time to try again for scientific reasons ;)
Uncle Ben! The cat is a Turkish angora! I had one that died in 5th grade. Little fella was 25 years old when she died. Beautiful creature. Different colored eyes too.
Bats really are cool. Growing up I was the family bat catcher as they often found their way into our house. Hot tip, when releasing them, best times are at dawn or dusk when the bugs are plentiful. Watching them skydive some mosquitoes is quite the show.

Not one but TWO colored eyes
I thought it’s the ear on the same side as the blue eye is usually deaf. If both eyes end up blue they’re usually 100% deaf.
That's right. I click on URR videos the moment they come out. Like a good nephew.
Uncle Ben really do be the best disney princess
