I have no idea how you have the time to manage all your pets, your relationship, work life, and still find time to rescue animals, adventure, and enjoy life. You're a genuine inspiration and a wonderful human being. I wish nothing but the best for you and your partner, and thank you for sharing your kindness with the world.
For some reason I always imagined Brody as retired - no idea if that's the case or not though - and regardless, he's living an amazing and inspiring life!
As a veterinary technician working in shelter medicine - thank you for taking in the kittens and getting them vetted! We’re in the middle of a kitten boom here in the midwest, and the cat distribution system seems to be working overtime for a lot of people. I hope you’re able to catch momma cat for a TNR. She seems young herself, and she’s a dilute tortoiseshell so she could find a home quickly after retiring and adjusting to household life. ❤
This is great advice... if you can catch momma for spaying, she won't have to go through the awful experience of trying to raise kittens in the wild, and hopefully will learn love the easy life with a foster/rescue home. Even if not, she will only have herself to care for and hopefully live a much happier life
It's tough out there right now. Especially in the wild. There is a small colony of cats who my neighbors and I started feeding not long ago. Very quickly the females became tame. Fluffy and Spot are dilute tortoise shells. Fluffy is long hair and Spot short hair. Clearly sisters. And Gray Kitty is a velvety gray. From their sizes and behavior, I think Gray Kitty is their mom. Just as they were becoming tame Fluffy walked into my neighbor's apartment and had babies. Not long after, Spot brought her litter into my neighbor's home, one by one. I was there the night Fluffy's babies were born. I cut Echo's cord. And I knew that I would adopt this tiny mostly white dilute calico when she was ready. She is long hair like her mama. And as soft as cotton wood down. But she would need a sister if she was to integrate into my home. And she was the only baby from her litter to survive. Spot's second special delivery kitten was a girl. A little velvet gray tuxedo. Winifred would be Echo's "sister" even though they are cousins for real. Gray Kitty is grandma to my newly adopted baby girls and to Spunky, the spit fire little boy who my neighbor kept. Gray Kitty and Spot are teaching Spunky to be an insideal/outside kitty. Hopefully my neighbor will have him neutered very soon. My big senior boy, Amour, has accepted his new baby sisters without problem like the sweet gentle soul he is. Unfortunately Bunny, my 4 year old female kitty, is not accepting the babies so far. She was the baby of the home until these 2 kittens arrived. And she's not wanting to share that position. It's been 2 months as of today and I still have to keep Winnie and Echo in a 4' dog kennel set up as a nursery. They only get to come out for meals and supervised playtime. Bunny is still too angry with them to allow them to come out more than that. But the shelters are full. And Craigslist is swamped. I couldn't relieve Bunny of our new kittens even if I wanted to. Besides, I get those soft furry bodies in my hands and I couldn't rehome them if I tried. I've been holding Echo since the day she was born. And winnie since she was barely old enough to toddle around. I think the babies are staying. I just hope there will again be be pece and happiness in my home again. Bunny is very dear to me, too. And its so hard to see her so upset by having kittens in her home. Any thoughts on where I could get my hands on some oxytocin would be greatly appreciated. As would any other peace fostering suggestions.
Leon saved me during the pandemic, he helped get me through some really dark times. Seeing new Leon videos & hearing that familiar, calming music really had a positive impact on my life. It’s nice to be able to see how far Leon (and myself) have come in 2 years.
@@BradybrandwoodYou should make a tank where the cats can go underneath the tank and look like they are actually in the water with the fishes but their not. It would keep the cats occupied for ages
It’s been 718+ days since I ate lobster & because we love Leon so much, I never will again! Thank you so much Brady for saving Leon & showing us how cute sea life can be. You have shared your life with us! We love your kindness with the kitties, & you educating us about the very state we live in!! We love your videos and your family & your adventures! ❤❤ 🦞🐈 ❤❤
Gosh , good to see it's had an impact.... I stopped eating all animals cos of the cruelty involved in raising them, feeding them and slaughtering them. Pleased to say it's been 42 years for me now!

I live in the UK. I've rescued cats for the last 20 years. We are also feeding 8 stray cats that depend on us for food and shelter, but are too scared to actually move in with us. One of them did actually bring kittens to show us this year, which was lovely. Thank you for looking after the kittens, many people wouldn't. Leon is also looking great, his colours are spectacular.
Brady you are such a kind soul! Thank you for the rescues that you do! I could hardly believe how easily you guys bathed those kittens. I have for all of my life helped all animals in need. Never have I seen a feral kitten so easy to bathe! God Bless you! Sending prayers for the kittens and momma cat too. Thank you so much!
My same thoughts. Brady is a kind wonderful man. He has a very big heart. Awesome photos of the river and nature. Love his videos. Thank you Brady. 💜❤️💜
Thanks, Brady for all you do for animals. I have been following you for quite some time. Love your channel. I used to do a lot of rescue work in the southeast mostly rescuing and rehabbing opossums. I don't do as much rehab work currently as I'm in vet school in AZ.
Opossums one of the most underrated most misunderstood of animals. Love possums had a pet one once very cat like and cuddly, but sadly they only live a few years mine died of old age at just under 5.
@@Boudicea97 they really are amazing. 5 years is great for an opossum! They literally changed my life. Was working a corporate job, rehabbed an inured opossum that wondered into my house through my cat door. Got involved with The Opossum’s Pouch Rescue, then got a clinic job and 4 years later I’m in vet school. All because of an opossum.
This truly has become one of my absolute favorite channels. Been here since Leon was brought home and have enjoyed everything. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and depression and these Leon videos always make me smile, no matter how bad things are in my brain. Thank you, Brady, for being a light not just for Leon and the kitties but for many of us.
You are a great storyteller! I discovered your videos about a month ago when I was in bed sick. They bring so much joy. I’ve loved following Leon’s and your growing fur babies adventures. Can’t wait for the update on kitties. Thanks Leon and Brady!
You’re quickly becoming my hero, Brady. So kind, so touching. And sooo funny about Leon finding the camera😂 You’re a good man with good people and animals beside you❤❤❤
My cat is watching this video earnestly. She's 13 on Friday, and she would like to thank you for your kindness to her fellow felines. We moved to our own woods house and already have possums! Love your videos, love the cats, love the little crabs and the glass shrimp, and love Leon!
When reading this, if all of your personal expierences are true, then Brady is over here is setting this thing up for more views.. Which I could imagine since Leon will die eventually die and he will have no more views... or maybe he already died...??? Just throwing some questions here
I’m so proud of you Brady!!!! You did an awesome thing!!!! I just trapped 17 cats from a colony in Missoula, MT. One of the cats is missing parts of both back legs. He’ll be rehabbed for a home. Some are kittens that will be tamed and adopted out, others are too feral and will go back to where they were trapped as people feed them there. I’m so happy you have these kittens now!!! They have a chance at life. Feral life is very, very hard on kittens as you see.
I've been following Leon's story from the beginning. I couldn't be without these updates. This channel has enriched my life in ways I cannot express. It's like my soul needs it. And it just keeps getting better and better.
Leon looked so defeated in that box, like he knew what was coming, but you showed him kindness and gave him a life.....I hope and think on some level he knows you saved him.
It's a lobster. He knows he was in the water, then not, then into another place. And that's it. He does not know what being saved is nor can he predict the future and know what happens to lobsters after they get caught. Trying to place human emotions onto animals who cannot possibly have them does not help animals. Try to understand them as they are, not as you are. I know you meant well. But meaning well should be just thanking him for saving the lobster and teaching us about nature and water creatures instead of pretending lobsters have a sense of gratefulness for saving them. They have no such emotions.
Like everyone else I am so touched and grateful you rescued these poor kittens. Any animal in need is lucky to meet up with you. Thank you for this fun and fascinating video. It's always an adventure. For sure that water hole is a huge no-no. But it was really fun to see it. Very brave of that guy. Wow.
I started watching at the very beginning two years ago, when Leon was first rescued. I can’t believe the turn the channel has taken -and if you develop your own show I would absolutely watch!!! Love it! 💕💕
Hi Brandy. I know your videos have never been against the meat/seafood industry. However, I completely agree with you regarding lobsters - they're really intelligent animals and it does not seem right they have their lives taken away for food. I also thought I'd let you know that you and Leon have been a bit of an inspiration to me. I've been pescetarian for many years. However, seeing your videos with Leon made me better appreciate the value of aquatic life. Those videos, along with some experiences I had watching people fish and reading some ethical philosophy led me to re-evaluate my own ethics and give up fish and seafood. I've now gone completely vegetarian, partly thanks to you and Leon! I realise you yourself are not vegetarian, and I do not judge that at all. People's diets are a personal matter. You have done me a favour, though, by helping consider my own morality and find a diet I am happy with. I also hope that it makes you happy to know that, thanks to you and Leon, there may be a few more lobsters, fish and crabs in the sea instead of on a plate.
What a great video to watch before bed. 2 years passes so fast. So glad Leon is still living his best life. The kittens are adorable . Thanks for all you do…
This video got uploaded while my friends and I were catching up watching last month's video! Of course we had a double feature. We're so happy you rescued those kittens. The shelter I work at occasionally gets cats/kittens with the same injury, usually caused by the umbilical cord being wrapped around the paw and cutting off its circulation. Amputating the remaining leg allows them much better mobility and they are able to move around with the same ease as four legged cat afterwards. Edit: realized I missed the mention at the end of the video that you are planning on TNRing the mother, awesome!!
@@heenanyou While it might seem drastic, leaving the limb alone is far worse for the cat than the amputation. stumps like that often develop permanent sores because the cat attempts to use the limb for something it can no longer do. The safest options for the long term are an amputation or a surgical prosthesis (which carry a whole parade of risks).
I think the kittens were so calm because they sensed that you were there to help them. Animals definitely have that sixth sense. Thank you for another beautiful video!
Hi Brady, I just got discharged after a 6 day horrible hospital stay. What a pleasant surprise to see that you had a Leon video ready for me to cheer me up! Thanks! 😊
Thank you for rescuing the kittens. You are a wonderful person for doing what you do. Love watching the videos and your adventures. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.
I understand. I am actively trapping feral cats and taking them in to get altered and either returning them back to where they were and adopting out those that can be. It’s grueling, but so rewarding.
@@Eomma2023The problem is people don’t spay and neuter before letting them outside. That’s why there’s a national crisis in this country regarding feral cats. On top of that people wait until they have 50/60 cats before asking for help.
Because they know what's gonna happen to them. And how would you like it if human's had to get spayed and neutered when they hit puberty? And don't tell me it's not the same thing, because it is.@@joycenesselhauf1220
It’s just amazing. Putting the camera in the trash pile was absolutely hilarious. Brady, thank you so much for helping the fur babies as well as the shell babies lol. You’re an amazing person. I’m an animal lover through and through. I’m looking for a little land to have a small sanctuary on. Keep doing what you’re doing. We need to see more good things in the world ❤❤❤
I’m three days late so I’m sure someone has already mentioned it, but the fact that you caught all three kittens the same night is just a sign they were meant to be rescued by you. I hope your children know how to take care of lobsters, because I have a feeling he’s going to outlive many of us!
Please rescue the mother cat. She will be frantically looking for her babies. She will think the worst. She will be scared, sad and lonely. She's just a baby herself.
Another beautiful film. So enjoy the little adventures you take us on with the wonderful scenery! So happy you were able to catch the kittens! They are in such good hands. Good luck rescuing mama cat, too! As always, delighted to see Leon livin' his best life!!
As the rescue cat I brought home sits on my lap purring, I am so happy you are helping those kittens and their mama. Thank you for being an amazing human being. We need more people like you in the world.
Leon is looking gorgeous! His coloring is so vibrant, it's awesome to see him continue to thrive. And the kitties are precious! Look forward to the updates
2 years and Leon is still killing it on YT, Love your videos Brady and love the work you do with wildlife! here to 2 more great years with Leon and all the Kitties!
You are such a kind soul. Leon is such a spoiled DIVA, I love it. Your videos are great to watch, looking forward to the next one. I hope the kittens are all healthy. Very kind of you to help them.🐾🐾
I'm not sure there's anyone anyone in the world who gets more out of life than you do, and also has such empathy and kindness to help all critters. Bless you!
The kittens are so chill being handled! So many of them hiss just from being looked at. I'm glad you got all of them and could help them :) The little injured one will do great when they are older. Many cats and dogs are fine on three legs. Also Leon is so lively! He the way he looks around when you circle the tank and grabs his food right away. It's a joy watching animals be cared for and happy.
Brady...thank you for rescuing all the amazing creatures and the Kittens. I used to keep firebelly newts in my aquarium as I was fascinated by them. My crabs would occasionally climb out though and scare my visiting mother to death! Out of the water she first thought one was some giant roach😂( not in my clean home!)🤣. I was not aware that they (newts)could regenerate their organs and spine. I was paralyzed for 3 years after an MVA...so I know how much research and development would help people. I also didn't realize the river there was deep enough to snorkel in! I was so happy to see Leon happy and healthy.Please be safe as the hurricane season is upon us. I never thought here in Stonewood. WV, we would see flash flooding. But it's occurring. 😇❤ PK RNC PHD
You are a good man. Thank you for not looking away and saying "That's not my problem". The true measure of a person's character is how they treat those in need of aid when no one else is looking. Thank you for living your life with a hand that reaches out to others 💕
You are such a good person ! Thank you for being there for the wildlife ! Love Leon and the cats ! Hope the feral ones will get what they need with a lovely forever house !
I love that you are always concerned about the happiness of the animals you encounter. I had a cat that Had to get a leg removed because of cancerous tissue. I felt terrible at the time. He lived 5 more years than expected, & was so much faster on 3 legs,I could not keep up with him. It's a good thing we found each other; HE adopted me. A wonderful friend
Yes! I have been worried about momma kitty. We live in rural northern Vermont and have a big old farmhouse with a big old barn. People drop cats off from time to time, and so we catch them, get them spayed or neutered, get them their shots and when possible we tame and rehome them. At the moment we only have four kitties, and they’re long term residents. My fingers are crossed that no more are dropped off. If so, we’ll do our best for them. Life as a feral cat is not ideal!
This was lovely, in every way. You have beautiful Nature around you. Leon’s old tank looks like things could get interesting in there. It is hard to believe that Leon was that lobster in the box when you look at him now.🖤🇨🇦
Thank you sir for this amazing channel, which of course wouldn't be possible without your documentation of your life. I like to call your channel a rare "multi-bonus". Instead of watching several different channels to satisfy my many interests, just one of your videos covers so many of them in less than 30minutes - biology, aquarium enthusiasm, geology, urbex, animal rescue, geography, cats, wildlife... Thank you for taking countless hours to shoot, edit, and share.
I love listening to your narration of everything. You have such a great calming voice. Loving all of your videos especially the ones with Leon and the other animals. And such beautiful shots from your drone and camera work.
This was a great update! I'm happy to see that Leon is thriving, and you were able to rescue the feral kittens. Can't wait to see an update on the mama kitty.
Brady, thank you so, so much for your videos of Leon and all of the cats. I totally look forward to each new video. I love your love of nature and your compassion for the animals and sea life. Your narrations are great. Thank you again for doing your videos and sharing your adventures. ❤🙏
Horrifying to see that poor octopus. I am slowly going off seafood after watching your videos, I always hated seeing those lobsters in "Red Lobster". Your videos are kind and interesting keep up the good work, it is educational, and fascinating. Who knew rescuing a lobster would be so engaging.
What a journey we have been on with Leon, you certainly couldn't have known where it would lead. Well done for rescuing the kittens. Beautiful scenes at the river & great photography.
As someone who has gotten involved in cat rescue recently, this is definitely my favorite of your videos so far, because it is a subject near and dear to my heart. Good on you for taking care of those little ones.
Kittens born to a feral cat are more likely to develop into house cats if they are handled by people. These three are young enough and the final shot of them showed a softening in their eyes. The kitten may have been born without a foot. The joint looks clean and has fur on it, which is an indicator.
My goodness, you live in a beautiful part of the world. Leon looks gorgeous and healthy and I get the feeling he's not the same timid little man he once was, as he seems more confident and so much at home - I think his great battles with the massive beastie who slides along the glass and threatens his domain and Leon's so far triumph over the beast gets his spirit up. Thank you so much for helping those little babies, they didn't look like they were going to be making it, especially the little one with the missing foot. Thank goodness you saw them 😊
Thank you, Brady, for rescuing those little kittens, and hopefully soon their mom. A young female cat showed up on my doorstep back in June. She was obviously pregnant, and didn't seem to be feral. She came right in and made herself at home. About a week later she had 5 kittens, all healthy, thank goodness. I've called every shelter within a reasonable driving distance here in Northern NY, but all are full. Right now I have a lady who rescues cats, and has a network of people who foster as well, but all of them are full as well. It seems so strange that all the people here, who live in diffenent parts of the country, are also experiencing the same dilema. I think one poster who thought it may be that loads of people got kittens during Covid, and now are just dumping them off, is probably close to the right idea of the cause of so many. I will care for these little ones and mom untill I can find a place for them, but I already have two cats, and on a fixed income, I can't really afford to keep all of them, sadly. But for now, I am truly enjoying their antics. Anyhow, thanks again for sharing Leon, your other furry friends, and the beautiful scenery that you do. Thank you for being such a wonderful caring person as well. Your videos give me much pleasure.
Absolutely love how knowledgable you are about what you're doing with the tanks and the wildlife outdoors. I was very relieved when you said you'd go back to TNR the mother cat.
Seeing that day 1 picture of him in a box really puts into perspective how much good you have done for him. I love the shots where he had the go pro. Please remember that kittens need bigger tanks than lobsters.
I don't think he is keeping the kittens in tanks. Ideally he would start them off in a small room and expand their world gradually as they get acclimatized.
I've been thinking a lot about that little kitten ever since the last video. Such a huge relief to see this update! Thank you for all you do. Fingers crossed you can trap mama cat and get her spayed.
Brady, you are a wonderful human being. You’re one of the very few I would choose to populate a new planet. Thanks to Leon, I no longer eat anything that involved the death of a lobster. I just came home from a trip in which one of the group members puts out lobster pots to capture and sell them. He was a nice guy, but I can’t forget Leon as an exemplar of his species. I love this video showing the river with its holes (something I learned about through whitewater canoeing). And the part about the feral kittens, and the poor little injured one - they knew you are kind and they let you bathe them!
Brady you are such an amazing person, helping those kittens, and doing all those rescues you do, I am so happy that Leon is still thriving, he is amazing to watch.
I can't believe that it's been 2 years since you saved Leon! He's sure looking happy and healthy. Thanks for rescuing the kittens, hopefully you can get momma cat next trip. You do so much good work Brady, you will be blessed with good karma always. 👍💯✌🇨🇦🦂❤🐈🐈⬛
I'm glad you were able to rescue the kittens. I hope you'll make efforts to catch the mom - we have spay and release programs here in Maryland. At least mom would be unable to have more kittens that would suffer in the wild. I also enjoy how you know about the local area, the streams, rivers and share the history etc with us.
I have no idea how you have the time to manage all your pets, your relationship, work life, and still find time to rescue animals, adventure, and enjoy life. You're a genuine inspiration and a wonderful human being. I wish nothing but the best for you and your partner, and thank you for sharing your kindness with the world.

Would have been smarter if you already took care of them by feeding them regulary, to castrate them. More kittens, prehaps more problem

Opossums one of the most underrated most misunderstood of animals. Love possums had a pet one once very cat like and cuddly, but sadly they only live a few years mine died of old age at just under 5.
@@Boudicea97 they really are amazing. 5 years is great for an opossum! They literally changed my life. Was working a corporate job, rehabbed an inured opossum that wondered into my house through my cat door. Got involved with The Opossum’s Pouch Rescue, then got a clinic job and 4 years later I’m in vet school. All because of an opossum.
Leon truly is a Rock Lob-Star🌟 Love seeing Leon's family expansion💙
I love how this channel has evolved, I just hope the mother cat can find a forever home ❤
Yeah
I can’t believe how calm these cats are for being feral. The poor kitty.
I hate animals
This truly has become one of my absolute favorite channels. Been here since Leon was brought home and have enjoyed everything. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and depression and these Leon videos always make me smile, no matter how bad things are in my brain. Thank you, Brady, for being a light not just for Leon and the kitties but for many of us.
I wish you all the best😊
Your comment touched me. Hope you’re doing ok today😘
Hugs 🫂
Great video,I love what you do
Same here. I’ve had a very hard past few days and so appreciate Brady’s videos, his voice and personality and kindness.
@@birbluv9595 hope you’re better today too, hon
You are a great storyteller! I discovered your videos about a month ago when I was in bed sick. They bring so much joy. I’ve loved following Leon’s and your growing fur babies adventures. Can’t wait for the update on kitties. Thanks Leon and Brady!
Good job Leon rescuing animals and thank you Brady for keeping us updated with Leon’s story and bless you Brady for rescuing these kittens 🙏
Brady you are my hero 😭 so glad you’re gonna TNR the momma cat 🎉
Yeah I’ll do a nice update on her in the next episode. ✌️✌️✌️
You’re quickly becoming my hero, Brady. So kind, so touching. And sooo funny about Leon finding the camera😂 You’re a good man with good people and animals beside you❤❤❤
God Save Lobsters and Cats ❤
It's amazing, how many lives you (and Leon, and the cats and...) have touched with these videos! Thank you, so much.
We should take a count of how many viewers won't eat lobsters anymore. With one, Brady has saved many.
I love Leon but I still eat Lobster. 😋
Brady, my life simply isn't complete without stories of Leon....
Thank you!
My cat is watching this video earnestly. She's 13 on Friday, and she would like to thank you for your kindness to her fellow felines. We moved to our own woods house and already have possums! Love your videos, love the cats, love the little crabs and the glass shrimp, and love Leon!
My cat did too!
When reading this, if all of your personal expierences are true, then Brady is over here is setting this thing up for more views.. Which I could imagine since Leon will die eventually die and he will have no more views... or maybe he already died...??? Just throwing some questions here
@@koen522 I am not sure I understand you. You doubt our cats are watching?
I’m so proud of you Brady!!!! You did an awesome thing!!!! I just trapped 17 cats from a colony in Missoula, MT. One of the cats is missing parts of both back legs. He’ll be rehabbed for a home. Some are kittens that will be tamed and adopted out, others are too feral and will go back to where they were trapped as people feed them there. I’m so happy you have these kittens now!!! They have a chance at life. Feral life is very, very hard on kittens as you see.
I've been following Leon's story from the beginning. I couldn't be without these updates. This channel has enriched my life in ways I cannot express. It's like my soul needs it. And it just keeps getting better and better.
Leon looked so defeated in that box, like he knew what was coming, but you showed him kindness and gave him a life.....I hope and think on some level he knows you saved him.
It's a lobster. He knows he was in the water, then not, then into another place. And that's it. He does not know what being saved is nor can he predict the future and know what happens to lobsters after they get caught.
Trying to place human emotions onto animals who cannot possibly have them does not help animals. Try to understand them as they are, not as you are. I know you meant well. But meaning well should be just thanking him for saving the lobster and teaching us about nature and water creatures instead of pretending lobsters have a sense of gratefulness for saving them. They have no such emotions.
@@Yosetimea lot of people tend to humanize animals (even objects), probably a human psychology thing
Save Lobsters is for Good Humans, not for evil people 🙏🏻💙🦞
These leon videos are really chill. Can't believe it's been 2 years already.
Like everyone else I am so touched and grateful you rescued these poor kittens. Any animal in need is lucky to meet up with you. Thank you for this fun and fascinating video. It's always an adventure. For sure that water hole is a huge no-no. But it was really fun to see it. Very brave of that guy. Wow.
I started watching at the very beginning two years ago, when Leon was first rescued. I can’t believe the turn the channel has taken -and if you develop your own show I would absolutely watch!!! Love it! 💕💕
Hi Brandy. I know your videos have never been against the meat/seafood industry. However, I completely agree with you regarding lobsters - they're really intelligent animals and it does not seem right they have their lives taken away for food.
I also thought I'd let you know that you and Leon have been a bit of an inspiration to me. I've been pescetarian for many years. However, seeing your videos with Leon made me better appreciate the value of aquatic life. Those videos, along with some experiences I had watching people fish and reading some ethical philosophy led me to re-evaluate my own ethics and give up fish and seafood.
I've now gone completely vegetarian, partly thanks to you and Leon! I realise you yourself are not vegetarian, and I do not judge that at all. People's diets are a personal matter. You have done me a favour, though, by helping consider my own morality and find a diet I am happy with. I also hope that it makes you happy to know that, thanks to you and Leon, there may be a few more lobsters, fish and crabs in the sea instead of on a plate.
Keep us posted with the cat family please
What a great video to watch before bed. 2 years passes so fast. So glad Leon is still living his best life. The kittens are adorable . Thanks for all you do…
This video got uploaded while my friends and I were catching up watching last month's video! Of course we had a double feature. We're so happy you rescued those kittens. The shelter I work at occasionally gets cats/kittens with the same injury, usually caused by the umbilical cord being wrapped around the paw and cutting off its circulation. Amputating the remaining leg allows them much better mobility and they are able to move around with the same ease as four legged cat afterwards.
Edit: realized I missed the mention at the end of the video that you are planning on TNRing the mother, awesome!!
He clearly says he plans to trap the mother for TNR at the end of the video.
I totally disagree with amputating the other leg. What a barbaric idea!
@@heenanyou While it might seem drastic, leaving the limb alone is far worse for the cat than the amputation. stumps like that often develop permanent sores because the cat attempts to use the limb for something it can no longer do. The safest options for the long term are an amputation or a surgical prosthesis (which carry a whole parade of risks).
I think the kittens were so calm because they sensed that you were there to help them. Animals definitely have that sixth sense. Thank you for another beautiful video!
Shut up
Hi Brady, I just got discharged after a 6 day horrible hospital stay. What a pleasant surprise to see that you had a Leon video ready for me to cheer me up! Thanks! 😊
God Save Lobsters and Cats ❤
I hope that you are doing well.
Thank you for rescuing the kittens. You are a wonderful person for doing what you do. Love watching the videos and your adventures. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next video.
My heart always breaks for the feral kitties, especially the injured ones. Thank you for helping them! And love seeing Leon so happy and healthy.
But if we did't have feral or "alley cats" then the mice population would explode.
@@Eomma2023 True, they can beneficial. I see my spoiled kitties and wish that all kitties could have that level of safety and comfort.
I understand. I am actively trapping feral cats and taking them in to get altered and either returning them back to where they were and adopting out those that can be. It’s grueling, but so rewarding.
@@Eomma2023The problem is people don’t spay and neuter before letting them outside. That’s why there’s a national crisis in this country regarding feral cats. On top of that people wait until they have 50/60 cats before asking for help.
Because they know what's gonna happen to them. And how would you like it if human's had to get spayed and neutered when they hit puberty? And don't tell me it's not the same thing, because it is.@@joycenesselhauf1220
It’s just amazing. Putting the camera in the trash pile was absolutely hilarious. Brady, thank you so much for helping the fur babies as well as the shell babies lol. You’re an amazing person. I’m an animal lover through and through. I’m looking for a little land to have a small sanctuary on. Keep doing what you’re doing. We need to see more good things in the world ❤❤❤
I’m three days late so I’m sure someone has already mentioned it, but the fact that you caught all three kittens the same night is just a sign they were meant to be rescued by you. I hope your children know how to take care of lobsters, because I have a feeling he’s going to outlive many of us!
No one cares
@@marcusanthony5325 I don’t quite understand? No one cares about my comment, no one cares about the kittens? No one cares about Leon?
Please rescue the mother cat. She will be frantically looking for her babies. She will think the worst. She will be scared, sad and lonely. She's just a baby herself.
Likely pregnant again.
I hope this doesn't sound weird but--I love you Mr. Brandwood. You are a true friend to helpless animals.
Nothing weird about loving a good person - or even a rescued lobster.
👍🏆
Those are such adorable babies. ❤ Thank you for saving them.
Another beautiful film. So enjoy the little adventures you take us on with the wonderful scenery! So happy you were able to catch the kittens! They are in such good hands. Good luck rescuing mama cat, too! As always, delighted to see Leon livin' his best life!!
Great to see the kittens rescued. Leon just being Leon is fantastic to see, he is one lucky Lobster.
Not one, hope he isn't the one lucky lobster in the World 💙🦞
As the rescue cat I brought home sits on my lap purring, I am so happy you are helping those kittens and their mama. Thank you for being an amazing human being. We need more people like you in the world.
he rescued the mama too?
Leon is looking gorgeous! His coloring is so vibrant, it's awesome to see him continue to thrive. And the kitties are precious! Look forward to the updates
How this guy hasn’t been offered a show on the discovery channel yet is beyond me
I was thinking the same thing
I would bet that he has more viewers than most of their shows
I can't believe how calm they are for feral cats. It breaks my heart when animals are injured 😢. God bless you for what you do 😊
What spicy little babies!
I am spicy lady
Mr. Brady, you have a kind heart and a way with animals. Thanks for helping those kittens and I hope you are able to give a help to the mamma as well.
2 years and Leon is still killing it on YT, Love your videos Brady and love the work you do with wildlife! here to 2 more great years with Leon and all the Kitties!
You are such a kind soul. Leon is such a spoiled DIVA, I love it. Your videos are great to watch, looking forward to the next one. I hope the kittens are all healthy. Very kind of you to help them.🐾🐾
I'm not sure there's anyone anyone in the world who gets more out of life than you do, and also has such empathy and kindness to help all critters. Bless you!
I love my lide
Thank you for saving the kittens,especially the one with the missing foot. Your videos are always so artistic. I hope you find Mama.
The kittens are so chill being handled! So many of them hiss just from being looked at. I'm glad you got all of them and could help them :) The little injured one will do great when they are older. Many cats and dogs are fine on three legs.
Also Leon is so lively! He the way he looks around when you circle the tank and grabs his food right away. It's a joy watching animals be cared for and happy.
Brady...thank you for rescuing all the amazing creatures and the Kittens. I used to keep firebelly newts in my aquarium as I was fascinated by them. My crabs would occasionally climb out though and scare my visiting mother to death! Out of the water she first thought one was some giant roach😂( not in my clean home!)🤣. I was not aware that they (newts)could regenerate their organs and spine. I was paralyzed for 3 years after an MVA...so I know how much research and development would help people. I also didn't realize the river there was deep enough to snorkel in! I was so happy to see Leon happy and healthy.Please be safe as the hurricane season is upon us. I never thought here in Stonewood. WV, we would see flash flooding. But it's occurring. 😇❤ PK RNC PHD
It’s a little sad seeing Leon on day one. Defeated and waiting for death. I’m happy to see him thriving now.
You are a good man. Thank you for not looking away and saying "That's not my problem". The true measure of a person's character is how they treat those in need of aid when no one else is looking. Thank you for living your life with a hand that reaches out to others 💕
You are such a good person ! Thank you for being there for the wildlife ! Love Leon and the cats ! Hope the feral ones will get what they need with a lovely forever house !
Thank you for going out of your way to help the kitties!!
I love that you are always concerned about the happiness of the animals you encounter. I had a cat that Had to get a leg removed because of cancerous tissue.
I felt terrible at the time.
He lived 5 more years than expected, & was so much faster on 3 legs,I could not keep up with him. It's a good thing we found each other; HE adopted me. A wonderful friend
Oh good, you’re going to try and catch the momma cat! God bless you. ❤
Yes! I have been worried about momma kitty. We live in rural northern Vermont and have a big old farmhouse with a big old barn. People drop cats off from time to time, and so we catch them, get them spayed or neutered, get them their shots and when possible we tame and rehome them. At the moment we only have four kitties, and they’re long term residents. My fingers are crossed that no more are dropped off. If so, we’ll do our best for them. Life as a feral cat is not ideal!
You are a really kind hearted person Brady. Those kittens were lucky you noticed them. The experimental tank is going to be interesting!
This was lovely, in every way. You have beautiful Nature around you. Leon’s old tank looks like things could get interesting in there. It is hard to believe that Leon was that lobster in the box when you look at him now.🖤🇨🇦
Thank you sir for this amazing channel, which of course wouldn't be possible without your documentation of your life. I like to call your channel a rare "multi-bonus". Instead of watching several different channels to satisfy my many interests, just one of your videos covers so many of them in less than 30minutes - biology, aquarium enthusiasm, geology, urbex, animal rescue, geography, cats, wildlife... Thank you for taking countless hours to shoot, edit, and share.
Awesome Belinda! Thank you for watching! ✌️✌️✌️
I love listening to your narration of everything. You have such a great calming voice. Loving all of your videos especially the ones with Leon and the other animals. And such beautiful shots from your drone and camera work.
This was a great update! I'm happy to see that Leon is thriving, and you were able to rescue the feral kittens. Can't wait to see an update on the mama kitty.
Great update! THANK YOU for saving those precious babies!!
Brady, thank you so, so much for your videos of Leon and all of the cats. I totally look forward to each new video. I love your love of nature and your compassion for the animals and sea life. Your narrations are great. Thank you again for doing your videos and sharing your adventures. ❤🙏
Horrifying to see that poor octopus. I am slowly going off seafood after watching your videos, I always hated seeing those lobsters in "Red Lobster". Your videos are kind and interesting keep up the good work, it is educational, and fascinating. Who knew rescuing a lobster would be so engaging.
It’s been two years?! Go Leon. So much personality.
What a journey we have been on with Leon, you certainly couldn't have known where it would lead. Well done for rescuing the kittens. Beautiful scenes at the river & great photography.
It's a great day when we get to see a new Leon video
As someone who has gotten involved in cat rescue recently, this is definitely my favorite of your videos so far, because it is a subject near and dear to my heart. Good on you for taking care of those little ones.
Kittens born to a feral cat are more likely to develop into house cats if they are handled by people. These three are young enough and the final shot of them showed a softening in their eyes. The kitten may have been born without a foot. The joint looks clean and has fur on it, which is an indicator.
Lovely.
Leon looks very healthy.
Little kitties are so cute.
Looking forward to the next episode.
The world needs more humans as caring and gentle as yourself.
What a hero Leon is! Rescuing those kittens all by himself with no help. A true hero of our times.
My goodness, you live in a beautiful part of the world. Leon looks gorgeous and healthy and I get the feeling he's not the same timid little man he once was, as he seems more confident and so much at home - I think his great battles with the massive beastie who slides along the glass and threatens his domain and Leon's so far triumph over the beast gets his spirit up. Thank you so much for helping those little babies, they didn't look like they were going to be making it, especially the little one with the missing foot. Thank goodness you saw them 😊
Thank you, Brady, for rescuing those little kittens, and hopefully soon their mom. A young female cat showed up on my doorstep back in June. She was obviously pregnant, and didn't seem to be feral. She came right in and made herself at home. About a week later she had 5 kittens, all healthy, thank goodness. I've called every shelter within a reasonable driving distance here in Northern NY, but all are full. Right now I have a lady who rescues cats, and has a network of people who foster as well, but all of them are full as well. It seems so strange that all the people here, who live in diffenent parts of the country, are also experiencing the same dilema. I think one poster who thought it may be that loads of people got kittens during Covid, and now are just dumping them off, is probably close to the right idea of the cause of so many. I will care for these little ones and mom untill I can find a place for them, but I already have two cats, and on a fixed income, I can't really afford to keep all of them, sadly. But for now, I am truly enjoying their antics. Anyhow, thanks again for sharing Leon, your other furry friends, and the beautiful scenery that you do. Thank you for being such a wonderful caring person as well. Your videos give me much pleasure.
Absolutely love how knowledgable you are about what you're doing with the tanks and the wildlife outdoors. I was very relieved when you said you'd go back to TNR the mother cat.
Love seeing your nature mini documentaries. Was so glad to see the kittens get cared for. Leon has it all, what a lucky guy.
Your videography, editing, and production are top-notch. Your narration is the perfect finishing touch.
I forgot how sad was the beginning of Leon. Look at him thriving!!! ❤😢
Seeing that day 1 picture of him in a box really puts into perspective how much good you have done for him. I love the shots where he had the go pro.
Please remember that kittens need bigger tanks than lobsters.
I don't think he is keeping the kittens in tanks. Ideally he would start them off in a small room and expand their world gradually as they get acclimatized.
I'm agree for Save Lobsters in the World
@@heenanyou 💀
I've been thinking a lot about that little kitten ever since the last video. Such a huge relief to see this update! Thank you for all you do. Fingers crossed you can trap mama cat and get her spayed.
Brady, you are a wonderful human being. You’re one of the very few I would choose to populate a new planet. Thanks to Leon, I no longer eat anything that involved the death of a lobster. I just came home from a trip in which one of the group members puts out lobster pots to capture and sell them. He was a nice guy, but I can’t forget Leon as an exemplar of his species. I love this video showing the river with its holes (something I learned about through whitewater canoeing). And the part about the feral kittens, and the poor little injured one - they knew you are kind and they let you bathe them!
God Save Lobsters and Cats ❤
Thank you for not kill/cook/eat any poor lobster again 🙏🏻💙🦞
It was great seeing everyone again! Leon is looking fantastic of course! 🙋💕
Poor little tripod. They're all adorable! And Leon is looking amazing!
Thank you for amazing videos each time. You create unbelievable content
I am SO GLAD yu took care of these kittens!!!
Brady you are such an amazing person, helping those kittens, and doing all those rescues you do, I am so happy that Leon is still thriving, he is amazing to watch.
I, I’m from Canada, been watching since the beginning. I love Leon and love your videos.😊
I would adopt a little injured kitten. Everyone needs a second chance.
I have driven by that water tower. It's a fun one.
Yay so many days of good health for LEON and many more to come ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️……………….🦞🪨🦞
I can't believe that it's been 2 years since you saved Leon! He's sure looking happy and healthy. Thanks for rescuing the kittens, hopefully you can get momma cat next trip. You do so much good work Brady, you will be blessed with good karma always. 👍💯✌🇨🇦🦂❤🐈🐈⬛
Don't know how you ended up on my feed; but, I'm REALLY glad that you did🙂Hi from SW Oklahoma
It's an honor to share this world with you. You are a very kind and intelligent person. Bless you.
Brady you are such an amazing soul. Thank you for the love you share with all.
I'm glad you were able to rescue the kittens. I hope you'll make efforts to catch the mom - we have spay and release programs here in Maryland. At least mom would be unable to have more kittens that would suffer in the wild. I also enjoy how you know about the local area, the streams, rivers and share the history etc with us.
Yes!! Momma needs to be spayed or more kittens will be forthcoming! ☹️
