She lied for money and support. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy - they make up lies for sympathy and attention.
I love you cause you got BALLS - you came right at her door to reclaim your cat from that psychopath !!!!!
And you pushed her to get your cat, actually I didn't know you have it in you, but that was necessary to save that cat from that psycho
and I have sooooo much respect for you now !!
God bless you, Victor!!!
JESUS LOVES YOU !!!!!
Very sorry this happened to you. It does create distrust and an inability to be freely open with people and trust them. I was betrayed at 15 by someone who I thought was a friend...she actually set me up with 2 of her friends to be raped by a guy 22 years old. It destroyed my ability to really trust or make lasting friendships. I'm 68 now, and truly only have 1 person I consider a true and trustworthy friend, aside from my sister. I've known my friend for 32 years and would trust her with my life. Maybe that's why I've surrounded myself with broken, abandoned rescue animals, rather than people. You can care for them and love them back to a normal life, and they never betray you. Bless your heart, Viktor...what you do is difficult enough without the people you've trusted and thought were genuine, caring friends, betraying you.
I'm so sorry for all yours and friends heartache due to this circumstance 💔.
I've only seen your channel about a month ago and it's all I ever watch and show my friends you are such a caring wonderful man. I have a beautiful dog called Finn an American bull dog he's a giant baby ❤ thank you for all you do for all these loyal helpless animals you are amazing Victor sending love from me and Finn from England 💖💖💖
This story needed to be told because it will help us understand why Viktor does not make friends with all who wish to be his friends. Please respect his cautiousness as it protects his heart and his rescue. This is important. Thank you Viktor for sharing even the dark places of your journey to save the animals.
Best wishes to you, Victor, as I know this still troubles your heart. Please don't let the actions of Alex stop you from finding and making lifetime friends who also love animals. Much respect for telling your story!
The more I know people the more I love animals.
100%
Me too...
That is terrible. I am married to someone that is a lot like that lady, but in a different way. At least you got away before anyone was really hurt too much. I live married to someone that resembles a lot of the same signs as this lady. And I can’t seem to get away from him. So, you and your people were the lucky ones, you left her in your past. God bless you all, and hope that you get well.😔❤️🙏🏻Joanne
I couldn't agree with you more I would be happy in a world of just dogs no people I've seen the worst of people so many times
Totally agree
Lets start with saying you are absolutley not a fool. You are the most decent, compassionate man with integrity who fights for the rights of animals. To me that is beyond amazing
Betrayal is the most difficult emotion to deal with, because it undermines your confidence in your own judgement.
Nicely stated!
Having experienced a disconnect with people most of my life, I much prefer the company of animals. They don’t judge you, lie to to you or betray you.
Same here, can't agree more. I love my pets as much as my own children.. I think even more
Same here..so true about animals
Exactly!
Couldn't agree with you more.all my life i have said if there were an island with just me and animals ..I'm there
Felt the same...
Stay strong victor, take care of yourself. You do wonderful things in your work.
Such a sad story. I've been lied to--not by someone with Munchhausen, but such cruelty to trusted friends, is very hard to heal from. You are a remarkable person, Viktor
Munchhausen is borderline personality DO too. Run!!!!!
My heart goes out to you, Viktor. It is horrible to learn the truth about someone who has deceived you. I can relate.
Keep your chin up Victor, there are plenty of us who are genuine animal lovers. You do a wonderful job x
This is a rescuer's nightmare. Thank God you got the special needs cat back. I hope the other animals are OK.
I can clearly see in Viktor's eyes that he is hurt. I feel for you Viktor and can imagine your hurt in this betrayal. That is why I am crazy about my dogs. There are few, if any, people you can trust. Thank you Viktor for your care for animals. You will be blessed abundantly.
Thank You Viktor Larkhill for sharing this story with us. Very thoughtful, very poignant and leaves much to consider and think about. While I can't imagine what this would have been like to endure, it is very saddening that you had this happen to you, your friends and the vulnerable animals involved. I'm so proud that you had the bravery to confront this person and then go back to rescue the cats. You do amazing work👍💗🙏
There are some emotionally sick people attracted to animal rescue. I am glad you have learned to recognize them.
Because animals can’t rat out the evil person.
I’m sorry that you went through this.
I’m sorry she tricked you. I hope the animals are safe
Am German and deeply embarrassed ashamed and disturbed by this bitches action. Majority of Germans don't betray their friends or even lie.
@@violagentsch I don’t think it matters really what her race is. I think it goes more to the fact that she was just dishonest too you all. That she would even have played with your emotions.
That just one very sick & disrespectful person.
You don’t need people like that in your life. Let alone pretending to be your friend. That not friendship at all.
That taking advantage of all your kindness & love.
So I hope you can remember that simply you all where giving kindness & love. Pick up on the signs earlier next time. Let yourself see the red flags. Run them by others you trust. See if they see the same things. If they do walk away.
There one thing I have learned in life. It that you never let people like this take away the fact that what you did was out love & kindness. It truly is on them, not you. They are the ones that where dishonest. They where the ones that in the end couldn’t see the light of kindness. They where greedy & hurtful. Again that on them.
She manipulative to you all. It unfortunate that she decided to be that person.
She can no longer harm you or your friends.
@@violagentsch there are assh.o.l.e.s. around the world, nothing to do with beeing german. Has to do with beeing an ugly human
Being a sensitive, caring, loving man leaves you wide open to all kinds of people. I'm sorry that you went through such an emotionally draining experience. Everyone makes mistakes in life what's important is the lesson learned. Please remain open, but cautious. Forgive but DO NOT forget. Yet guard the heart.
I had someone do something similar to me. It’s devastating 😢😭☹️😤🫠🫣😍Love to you Viktor 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤
The same thing happened to me.
Its always the most empathetic people this happens to over and over.
But i never lost the empathy .
I prefer to stay alone now ,just hoping and praying the world will change .
You are a good man .
From Nova Scotia Canada
So very sorry my friend, some people can be so cruel. She is obviously in need of help. You are amazing man and your teammates. Please don’t be so heartbroken, ❤❤
One of the greatest scams is to have one’s kindness taken for stupidity. Victims never quite get over being betrayed. But I guess the advantage is, a victim can prevent themselves from being hurt again. Viktor, thanks for sharing your tragic story. 😟
I have not gotten over being betrayed by family members, the people that are suppose to love me and be there for me! And now I am not who I was, I now do not love anyone, I only love animals.
This happens to me often. I’m a very kind and loving person and I can tell people interpret this as stupidity. It’s not, but I’m aware of this now and put a stop to it immediately. Boy, are THEY stupid! They all think the same way.
This has happened to me so many times in my life. I so very sorry Viktor that you and your team friends were so betrayed. I it does affect you, as you start to become suspicious of others too. I pray that God will Heal your hearts 💕 from this terrible betrayal 🙏🙏🙏
@@elianah2874 I am so sorry that happened and it has made you lose your trust in human beings but I understand how you feel because I have also gone through something similar with members of my family also and I am so glad that I have my little dog and my cat. They will always give you love and loyalty no matter what.
I have friends that are more loving than my family and I hope you do too Elaine, so make them your family and never mind the rest. Be strong and everything will be okay.
Best wishes to you from me in New Zealand.
@@paulineloney6471 THANK YOU SO MUCH PAULINE for caring and sharing! I know that there are GOOD people out there in the World such as you. I am trying to HEAL from my wounds and it will take time. I do BELIEVE that GOD will help me get through this. May GOD be with you and BLESS and KEEP you all your life! I live in the State of Kentucky USA.
Humans can be so deceiving and manipulative.
That's why I surround myself with animals and my extremely small family x
Am one of those people, I hate it about myself.
@@trinitylivingston1286 People can change. You could change. It's a choice & just tell yourself you don't want to be that person anymore! We all have traits we don't like about ourselves. The good thing for you is you have identified your problem so you can choose to fix it. Also, you may find you are being way to hard on yourself.
They usually are.
God's best creation is his worst creation. There cannot be anything bad than a human being. There are people giving out their best for the world and there are people who hinder good peoples' efforts. But we should not be intimidated and so we have people like Viktor Larkhill
This is so sad. There are some awful people in the world, but then we find people like you- you do so much for these animals. You are a blessing. I wish I was closer. I would love to help with the animals. We have 2 rescue dogs here..I hope these experiences don't ruin it for all the decent people out there willing to help. ❤
I don’t think she thought you would ever show up at her door. So deceitful!! I’m so sorry Victor. 😢
My cousin died of cancer 2 years ago. Sarah would have been 49 this year. It makes me so upset when people say they are terminally ill when they are not. If Alex is still with us, she needs to seek medical help
Sorry for your loss I lost my mum 20 years ago September 24 she was only 57 I watch my mum go for a living hell my mum had a rare cancer it’s going to go up not down I’ve also lost my auntie to cancer she has vascular dementia and unfortunately we had to let nature take its course that was so damn horrible to see the cunts you away her nose smell I will never forget she’s 79 when she passed away and I also lost my Nan which I don’t know how old she works I think I was only about 14 she died of breast cancer she didn’t tell anybody until it was too late because she didn’t wanna bother anyone so I know where you’re coming from but people like that mental health or no mental health there’s no words to describe a person like that it’s hard at the beginning but they say it does get easier as the years go on I beg to differ about six months after my mum passed away I lost the plot and now I am diagnosed with bipolar and I’m a totally different person now I was happy lucky go person well my mum was alive I don’t know why I’m telling you this but I suppose it’s good to talk about it well love you take care and stay safe
Those who take advantage of people with good, loving hearts are the scariest sort.
When kindness is seen as a weakness. Yet loving hearts and kindness can be found every where, just getting a bit harder.
True
People who devieve are unable to enter hard suspicious hearts .It's an interesting debate because the nicest people have the most open loving and receptive hearts .So what do you do as a human? Spend time with the kindest or the hardest .I know what my choice is .We must never lose our humanity just because others teach us to do just that .That's the worst form of control and it means that the meanest control the nicest .I refuse to change who I am regardless of how many times I'm hurt We are created to Love not to be suspicious ,hard hearted and cynical .Good Luck everyone 🙏
@@Ergot59 I completely understand what you mean 💕
I agree. I always say the more I know people the more I love animals.
I think I have seen you helping animals , I think you were a very kind man .
Psychological health problems unfortunately are too common to people. This is not your fault. You are real friends to travel so many miles just for someone's birthday !!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing 🐾💖

Ivanna,I 2nd that totally.I love animals.I have a 🐕 & 8 🐈.🐱💞🐶
Well said 🙂
People will never love you like animals do
You have to be an exceptional judge of character for the job you do. I used to do home visits for adopted animals and got good and bad vibes from people. I love the way you protect your animals even it's by necessary force.
The more I know people the more I love animals also.
You are such a good person. I am very sorry for the betrayal, you have a heart of gold. I'm so happy that you got the little handicapped one back and found him a good home
Yes! you are Man of good
principles and Love for Animals and human beings. Our Good Lord Loves You, and protect you in your Cruzade of Love, to protect needy and sick Dogs and Cats, Blessings will be with You all the time, AMEN. AMEN, 🙏🙏🙏
Your honesty is refreshing and wonderful. So sorry about what happened.
How devastating to be manipulated like that. To know she emotionally drained you when you already give so much. 🌺💕
why i love animals, they never hurt you the way people do
Wow, what a story! Thank you for sharing, Viktor. I had a relative with Munchhausen’s. It is so easy to become ensnared with the lies - to the point where you almost feel guilty for doubting the person.
To be deceived is no shame; as Charles Dickens said, “it indicates a trustful nature”. You are good person and you do enormous good in your animal rescue work.
Stay safe, stay well, God bless! 😘😘
Many many thanks 🙏
When you went to get your cats back....I thought...this man understands EXTREME OWNERSHIP❣🐱GREAT STORY❣❣
Yes, that’s the best way to describe it ..
Great storyline 💕🐾
@@ExtremeAnimalRescue i agree
Alex is afraid of you Viktor, for standing up & defending your cat n dog rescuees, TRUTH ….
I am sorry Sol died, but grateful that someone cared enough to give him the loving home Sol deserved for the rest of his life.
R.I.P. sweet Sol 🌹😔🌹
🐾🌈🇨🇦☘️⚜️
I am so sorry you went through this. You are such a genuine and generous person. ❤️🍀
I'm happy you were able to get Soul back and give him a stable home life.❤️
I remember when that happened Viktor. I've been following you since 2008. I had a rescue until my husband died of sudden heart attack in my arms, three years ago. I wish I could have sent more money but my dogs took so much and I've been trying to help stop the vicious, sadistic trade of dogs and cats that are cooked alive in Southeast Asia and Africa. Human beings can be wonderful, loving, compassionate beings like yourself and then their are the evil ones that torture animals and people and try to ruin others with slander. I'm really sorry that happened to you. Many blessings to you for all you do for animals and people who love animals...
There's a group of women near where Trump lives that are trying to stop this from happening. He stoped by their meetings recently. I hope trump i s able to help the animals.
Many thanks Pamela... it’s been such a long time right? 13 years! Thank you for sticking alone all this time .. Love
@@pandora5134 🤣🤣🤣
Viktor, I also have met lying,deceptive,backstabbing people, which increase our love for dogs who give nothing but their love and loyalty. Bless you Viktor for rescuing all abused dogs!
Thank you for sharing this story with us. That took a lot of courage. I’m in Iowa US and just got notified that 100 dogs in a puppy mill got rescued and taken in at the ARL. They, of course , didn’t have regular rooms for them so they transformed offices and other rooms into kennels for the dogs. I live in an apartment and have two dogs that I rescued with me. But I’m going to check out the ARL in the morning to see if I can adopt another small dog. It’s only one, but they are asking for help and i cannot give much money because im single, older, and low income too. Maybe I’ll just donate and not bring a dog home if they are all too large for my apartment. I wish I had one of those Tiny Homes so I could do what I want. And I just had my bank account emptied from an ATM that stole my money and turned it into BITCOIN. Im 73 and this has never happened to me before. I live a quiet life and mind my business and don’t know why I came into bad luck lately. But God has blessed my adult children and grandchildren and we all are healthy as healthy goes. So that is the most important thing. God Bless you Victor! I follow you and pray for you. Bless your pets and fill your heart with love 💕 ❤ . It will all work out in the end. You are precious and so is that kitty and your pets including doggie Victor. God tells NOT TO WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW BECAUSE TODAY HAS ENOUGH WORRY OF ITS OWN. I try to do this myself. We’ll take care and keep your heart 💜 open. I care. CONSTANCE J KRING ❤😊
This is a sad reality of internet friendships. Until you know them in person you DON’T know them. Was the tale about her boyfriend even real?😟
I wondered that, maybe she hurt herself.
Even in person sometimes sadly
Exactly !!
He figured her out and dumped her. If he did hit her, it might have been in self-defense. She is a loon, after all.
I was wondering the same.
I'm so glad sol was okay. After another betrayal video with the dog, I was watching this expecting the worst but phew.
I had to come read the comments first to know Sol was ok or else I would have been completely heart broken! I rescue cats too and I always tell the adopters that if they don't want the cats, just return them. I don't even mind going to get them! I just couldn't stand a betrayal like this with a rescue of mine! I already have some bad situations to deal with that don't involve betrayals.
Yes, me too. I was afraid to watch this.
I had a memory of that same look cat be put down after a year being adopted. My memory must go wrong
I so sorry for you have broken my heart with the story you have told how can anyone do that to a lovely do I have dogs my self I love them to bits keep up your good work lots more dogs need you so very much
Victor your a good man!!!! RESPECT
And thank you for continuing to rescue animals.
This girl was sick. Not from cancer, but sick anyway. You, and the others who tried to help her reacted as real friends. So, don't be sorry. Leave it behind and don't lose faith in people. Sometimes all of us have been betrayed from people we thought they were friends. But there are real friends too. By the way, one has not to try hard to get positive energy from you. We can get it just watching what you do for animals and for human beings every day! Be safe and happy😺💞
I am so sorry, Viktor. Unfortunately, those of us who have had such painful experiences well know that friendships in the virtual space are not the same as time-tested friendships in the real world. 💔
Exactly 💯
Yes. There is no such thing as a virtual friendship. You have to actually get to know people and have real face-to-face regular, long-lasting interactions with people to really get to know them. It's all about character and trust.
oh please people in the real world hurt lie and kill their friends too!
@@lisamay5649 explain how serial killers befriend people face to face and kill them?
I am very 😞 sorry
Thank you for sharing this with us. I was a paediatric nurse many years ago; a paediatrician approached me one morning, saying he believed that the mother of one of our patients was a case of Munchausen by proxy: She was at her little boy’s bedside all day and night, and medicating him to increase his illness. The more ill he was, the more attention she received from nurses and doctors. It had taken the doctor quite a while to figure this out. It was devastating for all concerned. And the results were even more devastating, for the little boy. So I have some idea about what Viktor Larkhill is telling us. He was dealing with an extremely disturbed person, just as we had in the hospital; someone who thought only of herself while damaging everyone else. I am really sad that you and your circle of close friends had to go through all this. I think you learnt a great deal from it, in the way of assessing who is to be trusted and who not. Sad too that one of your cats had to be left at Alex’s house. But - you are a strong person, Mr Larkhill, with many friends and a worldwide network of doing good. Can’t get much better than that! 💕🐾
I am so sorry to hear about this news and can relate. I was married to a man who told me and his friends he had cancer. He had an elaborate story and I believed him. Someone I knew, she was in the medical field told me it was a lie. I looked up Dr Scott in the phone book. The doctor he said he had. There was no one by that name. My friend was right. I can relate to the betrayal you went through. Glad you found out. Thank you for telling us. Take care. 🇨🇦
Sadly sadly you will find in animalrescue more and more people with ill minds. Myself I saw two persons with Münchhausensyndrom. It's terrible. This persons often have problems with other humans, so they make in animalrescue. Animalhording is another illness.
Dear Victor, don't loose the believe at us, your donater. The most of us are honest.
Live from Germany❤️
Unfortunately mentally ull and strange people often have to do with animals, the most disgusting thing is when an animal gets in between and gets neglected or abused instead of getting help. These people steal so much time and resources from the shelter too.
💗💞💓💕❤
Victor is the best dressed animal rescuer I've ever seen...Timberland boots and his north face brands...dude must be making some serious money
@@christinebored8809 Oh no...I'm also good dressed. I'm a hedgehogrescuer. But I worke as nurse in part time. Why should Victor disguise himself? We know, that he can only do this fulltime job with donations...also for him.
For example Takis from Takisshelter and 6 more families were payed from donations. Don't be envious. He has a hard job...even mentaly hard.
@@christinebored8809 They are not cheap but they are not expensive either.
So sorry that you had to experience this dark episode in life, but you have honed your skills to be able to judge a person's bad intentions as a result of this experience. You have a good heart, and your empathy is evident to all of us, and all of the animals and people that you have helped. Guard your heart, but don't be discouraged. We all love you and the work you do! 👍🐕❤🐈😊🤗🥰❤
The I uuiiii ii
Hear Hear !
WELL SAID !!
👍🙂👍
Alex is a disgrace! I feel insulted by her because I have a very rare cancer & when I went through chemo & radiation, the first thing that went was my hair, eyebrows & eyelashes. I lost all my hair everywhere else too! I had to get pills down my throat twice per day, all 20 of them! That was one of the hardest things I had to do especially with a constant upset stomach. She should be ashamed of what she did! Karma is going to bite her hard for this! She may end up with cancer or somebody she truly loves gets it. I don't wish cancer on anybody, not even her! It's a battle to go through. Sorry, this happened to you Viktor. Unfortunately, you have to be careful these days with people! She probably does have Munchausen Syndrome. She's looking for attention & pity! Her boyfriend, if she even had one, didn't beat her up! That was a makeup job she pulled on you!
@@SweetyD2023 Sorry for your health troubles. It is unfortunate that people like this exist. They are ill in their own way.
@@sophiepires792 I agree but cancer?! As punishment, she should be forced to visit a cancer ward for children! I visited the children. I thought if they can fight & get through it then I can. I am 60 years old & I've lived a good part of my life when these children's lifes have just begun. They are truly Warriors & they inspired me! They never complain, unlike adults. I really learned a lot watching them & that helped me so much! They are so accepting & I don't think any of them were afraid of passing away. Even with all they were going through, they tried to make me feel better. It brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. Thank you for your comment. ❤
Thank you and your team for the great job your doing helping these poor helpless animals.
Unfortunately, you have to be cautious who you let into your life, especially in today's society. I'm sorry you had to experience such a betrayal, but you learn from your mistakes. Viktor, your a very special individual with a beautiful heart doing much needed work on behalf of our lost/forgotten /tossed aside dogs/cats. Your compassion & devotion speaks volumes to your character. Your are loved by so so many. God Bless you & the work you do. ❤
I'm so sorry that someone took advantage of your kindness. Don't let those kind of people bring down your beautiful soul....I don't ;o)

Totally agree
I’m eating pork right now
Exactly
I don't either
Thank you for all you do. I cried this morning when I heard the news of Mary's passing. She was such a gentle soul. I foster great pyrenees and had a similar situation. Asia had been chained outside for 3 years in New Orleans. When she came to me in Colorado it was noticeable when she walked there was a problem. We have a very well known university who ultimately did 2 tpl surgeries. She was compromised with heartworm. Asia was so sweet like Mary and gentle. I had her for a year but she developed esophageal cancer. After losing her I took a break. Then I got a call to take a pyrenees from Texas. Sophie became mine. She and I are a therapy team who visits elderly, children and many events. So I've taken a break from fostering and again want to thank you for all you do.
I watch your video and can understand keep distance, it always hurts my heart to help someone and trust others only to find out they lied to you and or were using you. Because of those experiences I tend to keep to myself and hang out with my critters. I enjoy seeing the work you and your organization does. Keep up the good work and all of you will be in my prayers.
I had a guy stay at my house.. he was homeless.. and autistic.. He lived here for about a year.. was on ssi, so rent could be paid. He would "decide" he was sick and call an ambulance.. he told me he liked the nurses paying attention to him, taking his blood pressure and listening to his heart... some people just crave attention.. he didnt have people touching him a lot or talking to him to ask things about himself. He abused my animals when I was not around.. I didnt know this, when I did learn, I told him he wasnt allowed to touch my animals anymore, I would not let him stay home when I wasnt ... the final straw came when he went crazy on me at walmart.. that is a quick way to get lots of attention.. It is hard to know what people think and will do ahead of time. I am just glad you got your kitty away from her, I hope the one that remained was ok!
This gave me chills... I can imagine the psychological effects it can have.. I know plenty of people with sociopathic behaviour... makes my skin crawl. Keep up the good work Viktor..
This story is proof of your good heart 💓 Victor. You were hurt, but you didn't get bitter. You educated yourself and still remain respectful of this highly damaged person. Says so much about you and your love for animals. God bless you for keeping a soft heart! 💖
I'm glad you worked her out Viktor, from Australia, I wish you all the best and here's hoping it doesn't happen again 🐕🐾💚🐕🦺🐾💜🐩🦮💝❤️🐕🐾💙🤍🤎🐾🐕🐾
So many crazy people it's scary who you will meet and change your life.
I'm relieved that it was the Handicapped Kitty you were able to grab because of the Special Needs. I'm Sorry that 1 remained behind, let's pray they were cared for Viktor. I know your Heart remains painful because I'm an Rescuer and my Heart breaks over and over. Sometimes it's the very ones that Rescue to hurt us too! I Love You and Your Family, keep it going!
I completely understand how you feel. Years ago my mum's partner of 20 years told us he'd been diagnosed with cancer too. Of course, we were devastated about the news. I remember crying every night for days, only to much later find out it was all a lie. He made up the lie in order to leave my mum and our family. He was already living with another woman. I was furious, but it hit my mum so hard. She still has nightmares about it. How she suffered for him after his "diagnosis"....for nothing. She's never trusted another man again.
I'm glad you went with your gut feeling because often this feeling is spot on.
I'm guessing the domestic violence story was a lie too?
Nowadays, my only true friends are my husband, mum and 10 year old border collie Abby. Everyone else is an acquaintance
Emotional bandits are everywhere. Never let them allow you to lose focus! ❤️
You are not alone, Humans are our worst enemy with their lies, deceitful acts. It's not just from the internet but many times even those in person one can't believe or trust. It's hard to trust when humans do such. Probably why I trust animals more than humans. They are more real,
Animals don’t know how to lie....their love is UNconditional. Give me animals over humans ANY DAY.

Thanks for sharing this story, Viktor .... After this many years, we can still see the hurt in your eyes when you talk about it. I think it's very therapeutic to let your feelings out, and try to think that just maybe something good came from all this. Of course it certainly makes us more keen to be cautious, and to more easily detect these kind of people in the future. Nevertheless, life can throw you a curve ball once in awhile, so don't beat yourself up about it. You handled it perfectly at the time, imo. Now it's time to let it be, and not cause yourself any more stress. There is always something to be learned from negative experiences like this, and we all pray for you and yours, AND the many animals you help, everyday. God bless you, and keep up your fantastic work. Much love and support from Minnesota ... 🥰🐾🤗
Thanks Pam! Yeah.. now it’s time to let it be... love
I really love what you've said here! Well put!❤
This is why when I meet new people, no matter how nice they may seem, I always thoroughly check out who they are, their history and background before I even allow myself to trust them in any way.
Thank you for your good work with animals. The only creatures we can truly trust.
I totally agree. Anytime someone starts a business or an organization, all the people who are allowed in need background checks and even after background checks, certain specific details are not revealed. Monies should not be given out, but only used for the organization that has been established. These things are hard to follow and when it does happen, it’s devastating, but people are heartless and cruel and they can destroy and cause great damage and harm. I am a victim under different circumstances and it hurts deeply.❤
Im so glad you got the cat back. Your a wonderful person. Sorry you got hurt in the process.
Victor you are a special soul. I would love to meet you one day ❤️🙏🏽

I spotted Hucklberry too, poor little soul! 😭😭😭
Yes 😭
Please don’t refer to these people as animals. You are denigrating animals whom we all, on this channel, love and cherish. Call them demons or sub-humans.
@@lisamartin3346 Exactly you are right they do not even deserve to be called animals !
Me too.
I'm sorry you had to deal with such a person. Thank you for helping the animals.
It seems that you have learned how to identify a person's motives. You will be able to forgive and get over this. I just recently discovered your channel and I am uplifted by the special kindness you show. Bless you in all that you pursue.
But why did she do all that? It’s a really cruel thing to do to people’s emotions and generosity. Hopefully she has got the help she clearly needs. You are a wonderful man Viktor, keep well and rest dear man. 🙏🏼❤️🇬🇧
Honestly, from what I've learned with life people who are hurting like to hurt others.
@@trinitylivingston1286 The good ones who get hurt just learn from our mistakes and learn to be more aware of others' games. It makes us much more cautious. Those who are hurting but take their pain out on others have no conscience.
@@lisamay5649 I don't know, I wouldn't necessarily say they don't have conscience especially depending on their age. The younger (like kid/teen age) the person is, the more likely they are to be immature about it and hurt others. I'm not defending those peoples actions or anything but people can do terrible things when they are not well especially as a kid and grow up and regret it. I know that I've done some pretty terrible things (long list) that I now regret and it was because I wasn't well at the time and was a child then and immature and thought my actions didn't matter because I didn't matter. Whether she was sick or not or has a conscience or not, she still did a shitty thing though. He can make his own choice about whether to forgive her not like the people that I've hurt can choose to forgive me or not. She should be held accountable for her actions just like anyone who does a terrible thing like that.
( It's a disease called "MünchhausenByproxysyndrom", I heard about it on "Dateline" once)...people actually think they have all these diseases when they don't, they also crave alot of attention from others and sometimes actually make symptoms up so they can go stay in the hospital. (They're usually not a "threat' to anyone and wouldn't hurt anyone else, or an animal either for that matter)
@@trinitylivingston1286 (I don't know about that)
I am truly sorry this happened to you and your friends. I have been betrayed in life too and never is easy.
Just some food for thought....
As an oncology nurse, the fact that someone has not lost their hair during chemotherapy, does not mean they aren't getting treatment. I don't know whether this women was sick or not, but after working with cancer patients for over 20 years, I can say not all lose their hair during treatment and 99% dont have their medication out anywhere on display. How sad if you have pre-judged someone who was genuinely sick. I truly hope that is not the case.
I was thinking the same thing when he went into her house. I don’t display any of my medications, that’s an odd thing for people to look for.
I just commented something similar and then scrolled through the comments. Yours is the first comment I found that brought this up! Everyone else is condoning the assumptions made in this story with no evidence!
Viktor, the animals and the people of the world are so very lucky to have someone like you. God Bless and keep you and all the animals you have saved. You are really one special guy.
The new people show up that don’t betray you. It’s almost a cycle
I am so sorry this happened to you. You are wonderful and I can see that you have been hurt and disappointed by people many times over. I'm so sorry for that.
Me too. You don't deserve that.
My heart hurts because one never expects betrayal from good friends. Keep strong my friend. And keep the faith there are still a few of us out there that will remain loyal to our friends.
So sorry, you were deceived. Appreciate your concern for others Victor❤ And for helping these innocent animals. People who do these things were also abused😢I recognise this disorder. We unfortunately, had a couple of children where I work whose mother had this disorder😢❤
Victor your honisty and sensitivity is an attribute to your person. Never loose sight of that. Iam so sorry you were lied to and used in such a crewel way.
Your open acceptance of others and willingness to be of any help explains a whole lot of how much you really care for the animals in need. Keep up your much needed and wonderful work.
Couldn’t agree more❣️
*honesty* - *cruel* - *you’re* 🤗
I have a sibling who suffers the same kind of mental health issues. It took me most of my adult life to learn how to protect myself from this person. Victor, please protect yourself, your heart. People like that have a strange power that can destroy those that love them.
Keep following your gut, Viktor. That's all you can do. It obviously serves you well. Also, your experience with Alex was certainly the exception to your life experiences, not the rule. Life and most people are still amazing, kind and worth the risk and time you spend with them.
Your a strong guy. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm praying for you. God bless you, your team and your family and all the beautiful animals.
In this world we will always have enemies, that is very sad to say but that is the reality so you are still a voice to these precious creatures! So do not give up we will support all the way up!
So sorry that you had to suffer this treatment. I am delighted that you managed to rescue Sol. Thank you.
Without you where would the animals be? Honestly im getting cynical. I tried volunteering near my city but some of the people there acted weird so i left the shelter. its a no kill shelter but they had me drop off a sick kitten to a vets. i didnt want to know the decision they made for him..my heart was breaking that day.
So sorry that this happened to you. I'm glad Sol is safe and hope the other cats are too. That woman was sick not physically but mentally.
Betrayment is horrible, but forgiveness is essential. It will help you heal in your time of need. I thank you and your organization for all you do.
I dont think you have to forgive betrayal because that will minimize the experience which is damaging in itself but you can still heal and move on and the betrayal will be less triggering.
I don't agree that forgiveness is essential if these people did not even ask for it and are self righteous and are not changing their ways.
@@AnnemieM I agree totally
@@catherinewholey3630 one does need to forgive ,it only tear you up and become a part of one's life that effects you,l have seen and see people lives how it eats them away, it does not mean you forget
@@rmason5477 It puts you under so much pressure to feel you need to forgive as well as dealing with the betrayal. I was betrayed by many people very badly (obviously I wont go into detail here) and I will not put myself under that pressure but I am healing well
I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through, Victor 😔
I'm glad that even after experiences like this, after the betrayal of trust like in this story, Viktor hasn't lost his belief in the kindness of others. He still knows that everybody isn't like Alex. And that acquires strength. 😊
I'm so glad Sol has a new home, but I pray there are no other animals that have fallen into her care because they may not be able to escape the unhealthy situation 😢😢 Thank you for going back for your kitties.
He only took ONE back. Leaving others there😨
@@taigaforest.. He went back for all of his cats but he mentioned he was unable to catch them.
I'm so terribly sorry that you and your team had to go through that... As someone with bipolar....I just couldn't do that to someone... I have a conscience. I DO love animals dearly... ppl?...not so much. Lol. God bless you for ALL that you do for those without a voice.
So sorry to hear about this betrayal. You are a kind man helping all these doggies, cats or kittens etcs. Forget the past, move on and follow your heart.❤
Thank you Viktor for sharing that story. I had a friend years ago who had 3 children who were always sick. She had many bottles of pills on her window sill and when I visited her, she would tell me who had sniffles, who had a cough, etc. I think she had that disease you spoke of. And you are such a kind man and I expect that the others in your animal rescue group were too so Alex felt that she could get the attention she sought from you. I am sorry that happened to you.
Alex probably follows your every move to this day. People like that don’t change.
Yes, most probably that’s the case ..
That's a chilling thought but probably true.
Not without extreme intervention and treatment, sounds like she needs psychiatric help and or an exorcism
San Francisco fan girl loves your HONESTY!
Representing Montana - Amen! 🤠
Monterey CA woman loves your heart and soul that you put into everything you do! Can't call myself a girl, I'm 79 yrs old! LOL
@@franciegarneau1651🤨well, no matter your age... you are a woman, just reaching her maturity 😉💐. And I could be your teenager sister, I’m only 64 years old !🤗😂
Go on Viktor, we love you. I know you’re not a believer, but I pray (and invite each of your followers over the world to join me) for the Source of the Universe to help you and bring you ideas, through sharing and brainstorming with your friends and teammates for the continuation of so many years of work for the animals on a strong and stable base.
I do believe good ideas and great people devoted to rescuing animals or/ and donators ready to participate with regular donations (a good way to be part of your wonderful team) all that will come to your organization. Just we need to BELIEVE IT, visualize it as much clearly, in details and often as we can. Scientists have discovered and proved now that it’s our mind which creates our reality, not the opposite. The more people we are, holding those thoughts with strength, trust, hope, faith in Life, the more we’ll reach that goal, and you, Viktor, will be able to take care of your health, have time for yourself, letting others “drive the houses” while you enjoy your life. Your kids need you, animals need you, sooo much, you make the world a better place ! People need you cause you give them opportunities to be happy with adopted pets, to be generous, to be driven to become better humans by those beings welcomed, thinking we are their “masters”, when they are the ones coming in our lives to be our teachers of unconditional and true Loves, forgiveness, fidelity and trust.”
We love you in San Martin & San Jose California! Thank you for all that you do.
After watching your Stephanie McMullen story and then this , you must have a hundred of these sort of stories dealing with people via internet and having to be trusting and show faith in these people to give animals a good home. There’s a lot of sick people out there looking for attention, I’m glad these experiences haven’t stopped you from doing what you’re passionate about. Good luck Viktor.
Dear Mr Larkhill, you are a good person. God bless you always
