  • Phoenix was left behind by his owners in their old apartment building where he spent a year before being rescued. When his foster moms took him in, he was so shut down, he didn't want to interact with them or the other cats. But one day, a tiny kitten decided she was going to get him to play with him and the most wonderful thing happened.

    Not everyone realizes that cats can get depressed too. Especially strays that have been left behind - it's a devastating experience for them.

      It really is, I'm someone who's extremely introverted and I was alone and sad for a while in school. I pretended like I didn't need many friends and like I was indifferent.
      But then in 7th grade I met one of the most important people in my life, her name is Jaylin and she's extremely extroverted.
      She's loud and noisy, and always hyper. She's confident and is super caring and sweet.
      Those who knew me in school before she came along, as well as myself, were shocked at how different i became when she showed up.
      I opened up, and was playful. I found a side of me I forgot was there, much like Phoenix.
      Jaylin really changed me for the better, and I am not sure where I'd be without her.
      She moved sadly, and it was really hard on me and I most definitely cried, but luckily we still keep in contact.
      As much as we pretend that we don't care too much, us introverts need our extroverted friends.
      They can really make a difference in our life.

      Phoenix finished his life as a resident cat for this rescue. Ruby helped him rebuilt his jjoy of life but the relationship didn't really last as she got older. They wound up just kinda being cats together, and Phoenix opened up to the rescue's steady through traffic of kittens and became a senior mentor. Unfortunately he passed away of cancer after a good long rich life. Such is the way of cats. He had some happiness and died loved. We should all hope to be so lucky.

      I'm trying to get a stray boy in my house right now. I named him "Tony" because he's black and white. He was getting into fights with this other guy I named "Randy" early on, but Randy quit when I chased him away (he was hurting Tony so badly). Tony was basically feral when he started to come around my apartment complex. Now he is totally fine with people being around him. I'm working on getting him permanently into my house. I put him on a schedule - 7:45am - time for delicious Fancy Feast, 10:45am - Daddy comes outside (I work at home) and gives him love, 5:30pm he walks with me to the apartment dumpster to throw away my daughter's poopy and pee. And then roughly 8pm he comes inside the apartment for a playdate with my daughter. It's been going great. They do a proper greeting and then my daughter either hangs around or views him from a chair to see what he's doing. He loves cardboard scratchers. He thinks my daughter, Missy, is the coolest cat alive. I just need to get him fixed and bathed (he is soooo dirty and mostly white sigh.)

You had the sensitivity to see Phoenix can't handle another abandonment and you're adopting them as a bonded pair, which they truly are. I dont think I can adopt them but I would run to do it if I could. I pray God always blesses them and you.

    He needed a "reason" to live. Yes, he ate because he was hungry, but other than that, he had pretty much given up on life in general. The kitten won him over, he felt needed once more by his own kind. The old ways came back to him, and the kitten in return responded and brought out the real kitty he once had been. I had an older tom cat like this. He didn't care for other cats, but he would take a kitten and shower it with love.

      Just a bit unrealistic sometimes... I don't mean the stories per se, but that they only show success stories... It taints the picture. I didn't want to click this at first because it reminded me of how we thought that our cat called Mori (Mo-ree) who had previously lost his brother needed a new companion. We introduced them carefully of course, but the little one called Skotti (Scot-ee) had so much energy and always jumped Mori. Mori had had a strange disease, probably a nerve inflammation, and after the inflammation was gone he still had pain in his back sometimes. Mori wasn't playful and ignored Skotti, so Skotti quickly figured out that the only way to make Mori move was to jump his back, which must have caused Mori lots of pain. It was hell for Mori, and the only way for him to get rest was when I locked him in my room, which he appreciated, but that wasn't sustainable of course. Well, at some point, it was probably too much, and Mori disappeared without leaving a trace to never be seen again.... :(
      We got Skotti a new kitten, just a few weeks younger than he was, and after a few days of hissing he finally had someone to run around with and they loved each other for a while until Skotti, who dislikes close contact with other animals (so Simba and our dog), became more aggressive during play for some reason. It's a pity, especially because Simba just loves close contact with both humans and animals, but he can only cuddle with our dog (and us obviously), although she usually doesn't tolerate it for long. Nowadays, the cats are both 4 years old (Skotti will turn 5 on Christmas Eve), and they get along more or less, although they're very good at social distancing. They usually keep their distance and you can see that they're scared to get close often because it will result in a short fight/rough play, even though it looks like that's 100% Skotti's fault.
      I wonder if it's indirectly our fault that they don't get along anymore.

      We always have to separate them which results in the smaller one being constantly hidden or isolated (our larger one is more aggressive). We also wonder if we had raised our dogs properly. One is aggressive and antisocial, the other is scared and can barely take care of herself and act like a dog.
      I think we need these kinds of positive videos to show that even if we may have failed our pets, it gives us hope that other pets are not being raised that way.

    It's horrendous for an animal to be left behind, either by the owner's death or abandonment. I took in 6 strays a few years back. Their temperament changed so much. I had been feeding them outside for a while but had an indoor cat, Sammy, who they didn't get along with. Sammy was 20 years old and ill; I couldn't bring myself to make living changes that would make his life harder. In the meantime a couple of winters passed and I tried to keep the strays warm as best I could. I put some electric blankets on a thick patio rug and came up with some makeshift shelters to put on top of the blankets. They only left the the blankets to eat and go to the bathroom. Then I tried putting a patio heater in my hot water heater closet, which seemed to be warmer. They rarely left the closet the whole Winter. When Sammy died the next Winter I put up a doggy door to see if I could get the strays to come inside my apartment. It didn't take long for the cold weather to coax them in. They were very skittish and hid behind furniture, which was fine - at least they were warm. After about 30 days their personalities changed and they became playful and kittenish. One by one they started letting me pet them when I fed them. Now a few years later 5 out of 6 want to be petted and brushed. They are a handful - it's plenty of work keeping the place vacuumed and shampooing the rug due to "accidents", which happen every week. But I remember when they all had that hunted look on their dirty little faces and how relaxed they seem now, so I'm happy to see that.

      There is a look, like they're always on edge watching out for something trying to get them. One of rescues, Momma Kitty, took awhile to get calmed down. When she did, she'd curl up on the arm of my husband's recliner and sleep so soundly she snored! I loved that sound (lost her on Thanksgiving 2 years ago due to cancer). I miss her so much....

    Whoever adopts Phoenix (and Ruby) is getting a Van Cat, a breed from Turkey. Van Cats are pure white with one blue and one green eye, and they love water. Phoenix is actually a variant on that, an Ankara Cat, with one eye gold instead of green. They're highly prized and illegal to export from Turkey, but they do show up all over the world.

      There was one right next to my apartment. She had been there for quite a while. One day when I went to get my cycle I noticed her but this time she came to me. I petted her and it was amazing. She loved it and would follow me and like ask me to continue. She also had three kittens and I got milk for all of them. But about 4 weeks later they all disappeared.

    • @samsignorelli
      @samsignorelli 3 роки тому +40

      While the Turkish Van is indeed a specific breed, the term "van" also refers to the color pattern. So while Phoenix may have a Van patterning, that doesn't mean he's a Van breed.
      Besides....the Turkish Van is a semi long-hair....Phoenix is short.

      I dont know - we had a beautiful cat who just never liked me! But I loved her despite this.
      We got her from the Humane Society as a kitten, and she hadn't seemed to have gone through any trauma. It actually got to the point where it was kind of funny.
      She'd purr when I'd pet her only if she was eating food. Other than that, I'd pet her and she'd just look at me like, "Mehhh," and walk away.
      She loved my dad and brother and even my mom a little. Once they all went on vacation for a week but I decided to stay home and work. Eventually she reluctantly came up to me like, "I need a petting, you're the only one here, so I guess you'll do." She really didn't seem to enjoy it, though, despite both our efforts! 😆
      She was such a little beauty. She lived for 22 years! I miss her.
      I think sometimes pets are like people - you just make a decision to accept them as is and love them regardless of how they feel towards you. We all need unconditional love from someone. She was my grumpy little angel. 😾💞💕🤷🏼‍♀️
