Shy street cat learns to trust again
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2021
- Morris had been living outside for at least a year, and could easily be mistaken for a feral cat. But after we trapped him for a TNR (trap neuter return) project, it was clear that he had lived indoors before. There are tons of shy cats like Morris hiding in the back of a shelter cage somewhere. They need to be in a calm, quiet environment with a patient caregiver to rediscover their confidence. These cats have a lot of love to give!

I almost didn't see my current kitty in the shelter I went to because she was hiding in the corner away from all the kitties and actually hissed a little when i first pet her, but once I touched the base of her tail she pushed her butt into the air.
Now Princess Kitty Katara gets tummy rubs on demand via screaming at me
You guys do good work here.
I can relate! My little tabby was hiding in her cage and didn't care for people when I went to my local rescue, I asked the volunteers to help me pick a good fit, after a few questions they sat me in a private room with her. A few minutes later, she was stuck to me like glue and hiding her face in my neck. I'm glad that I trusted their judgment and would recommend everyone does the same when picking a friend for a life!
I can relate too! My first cat I adopted privately, but I have no doubt she'd be hiding in the back of the cage. Why? Because she hid inside our couch for the first month we had her. She only came out at night. But my friend said she had a cat to give away, because the cat was always hiding, and I wanted one, so I wasn't going to give up on this kitty.
She was the sweetest little girl. She showed compassion to our other pets. When our hamster escaped, she helped find him. And when my bunny had babies, she would find the ones that escaped the nest and let me know where they were (saving their lives.) I fell asleep with her on my hip every night, and woke up with her on my hip every morning, even though I sleep like I'm fighting the devil. I would roll over and she'd get right back on. She'd sit on my belly when I was sick, and be there when I was sad. She had four tough years, but thirteen amazing ones, where she was safe, loved, and supported. She deserved every year of that thirteen, and more.
@@darkkit1994 yea took a couple weeks for her to stop hiding under the bed constantly, now she only goes under there when she wants to nap in the dark
Lovely
👍❤️🥰👏♥️😊😊
“It’s not that he doesn’t like people…maybe he loved them very much and was let down anyway.” I am ACTUALLY crying tears.
yep, there's always a reason for an animal or human to be unfriendly (at first at least)
Flatbush voiceovers always kill me. 😭
@@missheniki don't they. I always cry, I am such a pussy and I love that I am 💕
Absolutely love your videos!! It's so heartbreaking to see the condition of some of these cats, but to watch them being nurtured back to health is incredible. I've cried many times! The video about
"Lionel" broke my heart. What a sweet little boy he was! I adopted my cat Willie from a shelter. He was 4 1/2 . It took me almost 2 years to earn his trust. I got bit more times than I care to remember, but I KNEW Willie wanted to be loved again. And he IS loved very much. (His actual name is "Sweet William" LOL) 😺

This man speaks in an almost poetic way.
Hey verified
The job they're doing is great but find him unbearably sanctimonious and don't get me started on the whole hipster vibe. I'm only here for the videos and they've been pretty stingy with them of late.
@@totalperso2002 Hipster bad?
@@totalperso2002 I don't understand your criticism of the channel provider. Are they not busy going out there rescuing abandoned cats and neutering feral cats? Surely the output of videos is secondary compared to what they are doing, and repeating the same messaging gets tiresome eventually.
@@totalperso2002 oh please stfu
I adopted an extremely shy cat, named Frodo, without ever having seen him. He hid at the shelter, went into a covered carrier, then left that to hide in a space behind my shower. I did not see him for 5 months, then began to catch glimpses of him, then he'd watch me fill his bowls, then I'd see him bolting through my apartment, then he began to watch me from a distance, then he'd play with a wand toy, then finally began to let me touch him. He is now a love bug, who sleeps with me, gets in my lap every chance he has, follows me around, and yet who is still so shy no one else has seen him in the 5 years he's lived with me. I am so glad I was patient with him, because he is very happy now.
My parents ferrel cat was like that for 12 years in their house until they had to so to an assisted living apartment. Now he comes out for everyone and no way you get him off your lap!
You didn't see a cat inside your house for 5 months?
I'm so glad it was you who adopted him and let him do things on his own timeline. Many people wouldn't have had the patience!
very similar of my cats whom i adopted 6 years ago.. it took them MONTHS (and certain things years) to even slightly relax and trust me. their nicknames now are "Chest snuggler supreme" and "queen".
the only person who's ever gotten a good look at my cats is my best friend. even now she can't always touch them.
How to avoid crying while watching a Flatbush Cats video
Step 1 - Call over your rescue kitty
Step 2 - Hug your rescue kitty
Step 3 - Press play
Step 4 - Hug your rescue kitty even more
Step 5 - Cry anyway
Yep, you summed it up perfectly!
I thought I was the only one crying at these videos every single time…
squish*
Other words: you cant watch this without crying
Yup, all of this.
Where’s the dang Kleenex?
Thank you for explaining the difference between a true feral and a dumped stray cat. I take care of a feral cat colony and everyone always ask why I don't find them homes. Its so hard to explain to them that a true feral is a wild animal not a pet. And while I have gained their trust, that means I'm part of the pack, not that they have miraculously become a pet you would give to a child.
And not all strays are deliberately abandoned, some wander off on an adventure and never make it home, or something happens to that home...
I'm glad I saw your comment. I have had 3 feral cats coming to me for food for a few months.
I've been sick trying to find a rescue for them, or a home. That might not be what's best for them right now 😔
Well... the youtuber was wrong in the definition of a feral cat.
He said feral cats have had no interactions with humans.
That is not necesarly entirely true.
Stray cat... easy to understand... STRAY... as in cats who have either gotten lost, escaped or dumped from their human homes.
Feral cat.... basicly a cat who has been raised in the wild. Not by humans.
But a feral cat CAN be friendly.
But feral cats are much higher alert because of tge raw nature.
So a feral cat is much more likely to be sceptic of humans.
But exampke in Turkey, where humans shower feral cats with love and attention... the feral cats therefor through hundreds of years learn that humans are friendly and helpfull. Like a big brother;)
Cat population are often a reglection of the human populayion.
Imagine tearing apart an animal family that went to you because they thought you were safe. 😔😭 I'm glad you know the difference.
Flatbush Cats: "Chances are that shy cat huddled in the back of a cage somewhere actually has a lot of love to give. They just need a special person to believe in them."
Me: *sobbing*
It's the same way with people isn't it though . . .
I have 2 kitties who were shy babies, and they are the sweetest loved I could have ever had. They both sleep with me at night, sit in my lap every chance they get, and play and chase eachother around. I got very lucky!
It makes me happy to know that somewhere in this cruel world, there are people changing the lives of cats and humans. Love your work, and please continue your great work :)
Look at all those cages. Hard work!
@@NoSpectate imagine thinking you ll get any more beggar
Proof that the world isn't actually so cruel, the media just makes it seem that way.
Yes. Watching from Vietnam
I'm still grateful for learning so much from this channel. The shy, somewhat feral kitten I trapped in my back yard has been an extremely rewarding rescue, and she is my shadow, my lap cat, my little miracle. Fighting her sense of food insecurity has been difficult, leading to weight gain, but we're getting there!
@@MinNeetheCalicoCat I have a Tom that is/was feral. We're going on 4 years now and he's just about made a 180. He's turned into such a loverboy. Trust is the key.
I'd suggest only feeding her certain amount of food every 3-4 hours (except of course night). They can't really gain weight that way unless you give them too much food.
If they have weight issues in addition to food insecurity, you can try either a feeding dish or a ball that makes them work for their food. My semi-feral fortunately does not have food issues but is still very timid when encountered on foot. She loves lap time but is still learning to trust when I walk past her. She used to get out of the way out of fear. I still haven't been able to pick her up but I will when I feel the time is right. Shes been with me for a few years but helping her learn trust is a slow process.
They helped me when I rescued 3 feral kittens, and turned all three into lovebugs. I kept one, and he’s the one who has food insecurity issues it seems. It’s been a year and he still chows down all his food asap, so I just try to give him smaller portion meals.
they do be like that when you get them feral and young, the same thing happened with mine, your their new family
"It's safer to be shy." This made me cry. I was painfully shy as a child. I loved cats and everyone thought I was weird. I've never realized how much I related to them until now. Thank you for all the work you do. Animals bring us so much joy and deserve love and a voice. I hope to volunteer at our Humane Society soon. Much love.
You will have your 🤲full of GRATEFUL CATS. They know, can smell a good, caring, loving 🐱❤💁♀️
Same here friend
Good for you.
I have autism and it was hard for me to talk to people as a child (it still is). I would usually watch people from afar during recess near the bushes. Cats are nice
@@randomcat1962 I tested in range for aspergers as an adult a few years ago but was never formally diagnosed. I have a lot of trouble with adult humans, regularly. Cats are easy. I adore them and enjoy listening to what they have to say. Plus they are soft, sweet, warm and funny. So grateful for these amazing beings.
When Morris started "making the biscuits"...I knew he would be ok.
Thank goodness for people like yourselves.
We took in our stray cat almost 3 years ago after he hung around the house for about 6 months. We already had 4 cats, and weren't looking for another one but we felt the only way we could be sure he got a good home was to keep him. We didn't have his ear tipped when he was neutered because we were keeping him indoors. He'll never be on the streets again. Recently he developed a urinary tract problem that cost us $3000 to get straightened out. He's on the mend and very happy to be back home. We're happy he made it.
I would like but it's at 69
Sorry about the size of the vet bill but glad he's on the mend. He has been a lucky boy to have found you.
There's pet insurances here in AUS that don't cost much monthly, but cover a lot of medical issues/bills if something comes up! Always worth looking into wherever you live.
SO AM I!!! Male cats get that often. The way they scream, when they pee, terrible.
@@ericrodriguez5592 It's at 232 now! :-)
When I went to a shelter about a year ago, I saw this adorable tabby kitty, hiding in the corner of her space. I sat infront of her for 45 minutes where we didn’t look away from each other. She finally walked up to me purring, the next day she was one of the only cats left. She was put on my bed when she got home, and she crawled up next to me purring. Butterscotch is the best cat I’ve ever had and I love her so much.
Morris is a beautiful cat! THX, Flatbush Cats for helping him. And you are so right: there is a big difference between feral cats and abandoned housecats and they have to be treated differently.
@@MinNeetheCalicoCat yea, I have two big boys that are feral and when they were young and part of a pack of 11 I TNR-ed them all. But these two stayed and I tried to get them to come in my house to live but they just won’t. So they are feed sheltered, fat and happy (except when they have to go to the vet lol).
@@MinNeetheCalicoCat I enjoyed your response..ty!
@jade But there are feral cats that can be socialized. I believe Cats of San Bernadino and another organization I can't think of at the moment, does this. It can be done. Only requirement is patience. It is heartwarming to see.
Morris reminds me so much of our big orange boy Cena. He "belonged" to some neighbors in our small Texas town and they moved away and left him behind. He first made friends with our dog and slowly got more friendly with us. We got him neutered and He started coming inside more and more. At first he didn't purr, but now you can hear him in the next room. He mostly lays upside-down so you have easy access to his huge, white belly. He would love you to rub it for hours at a time and will never scratch, bite or complain. He's also a great kitten babysitter and role model. We love him very much and he reciprocates the feeling!
I lost a cat when my mother died and I had to move away. I still think about that kitty and hope someone took care of her.
that is so sweet
@@shadetreader i’m sorry about that. i hope someone did. chances are she got lots of free meals if not a home
How could they just leave behind such a love bug to die like that?
It's disgusting.. at least take them to a shelter ffs.
There's nothing more rewarding than taking in a stray street cat. We have 2 and the greatest feeling is when they finally trust you and realize they are part of the family. All the work you put in is worth it 100%.
ありがとうございます！
great donation to a great channel congratulations

Yen to dollar pls?
@@aucelery9079 its around $50

The Look at 2:42, "feral cats, on the other hand..." just priceless.
I shouldn't say that because I don't want to make light of the issue, but I feel the depth of catdom speaking, saying: "we were gods once, idk what happened."
(Kind of like Horus in _American Gods_ (idk who will get that reference)... that dude was crazed, proud and sad-making all at once. That's what I see in that face.)
We adopted a shy boy from a rescue about a year ago. For months he wanted so much to be loved but was terrified of that love. Today we still have our large lovable idiot and while he's not a lap cat my goodness does he demand. If not for you guys I'd have never adopted him because of that shyness huddled in the back of a cage.
"Maybe he had to be tough to survive. It's safer to be shy."
but enough about my dating history
I just love that you detail the process over and over. It's so rewarding to have a front seat to the next chapter of this sweet boy's new life. Thank you for the work that you do.
Thank you. Flatbush Cats taught me a lot and though you don’t know me I love you guys. The big boy in my thumbnail came into my life when we bought our house 7 years ago, and in the last 3 months has made it into our home. It was in trying to learn how best to help him that I found Flatbush. I’m betting there’s hundreds of people like me that have learned along the way with Flatbush Cats, and I cannot express my gratitude enough.
Kiki Dee is a sweet boy, still anxious at times, still incredibly frightened of the garbage truck every Wednesday, still won’t sit in my lap or anywhere on my person, but he will never _EVER_ wonder where his next skritch or can of vittles or outstretched hand & heart are coming from. Not as long as he and I are alive. You guys are part of that, all the way out here in Colorado 💯💕🐾
When I bought my new house with a garden, 10 years ago, I adopted the 4 strays living in that area. I already had 2 cats, so now the family is much bigger :-) I love them all!
@@loredanatagliaferri5339 Holy MACKEREL, Loredana! That's a lot of love (and fur!) in your home. And the garden sounds wonderful as well ❤️
@@QuinnieMae you are so right! Good luck from Italy.
My Raven followed my bro home Halloween night. Best part is he is an almost entirely black cat. He is so chill he's best friends with the dog in my pfp, I've even seen him wrestle with the dog. Even in my small area there are some cats that are strays, they are not afraid of people and if you're patient they'll come to you for scritches. There is no better feeling than when a cat rubs their face agianst you.
And for some reason no matter how hard we try, we can't stop him from eating the dog's food. [All animals are free fed]
Aww 😻😻😻
It breaks my heart that these cats would be left by the people they loved and trusted to live in such a harsh environment. With that said, I understand that sometimes these people don't have the choice. I'm relieved there are still good people with good hearts in the world.
Thank you for this video.
I just lost my own feral cat who I fed every day and managed to gain her trust. I loved her very much, and I think she loved me just as much. She got run over last Tuesday, and I buried her in a garden.
Goodbye, Shadow. I'll never forget you, and I will always remember your love for me when I needed it most.
I'm sorry to hear that... I lost mine in July as well it's an awful experience... Hope you get through it...
i’m so sorry for both of your losses :( sending you guys so much love…❤️❤️
I’m so sorry for the loss of your furry family. May your memories help your healing heart. ❤️
This is the very reason that I have a feral Mom cat in one of my bathrooms.
Two years ago, a Tortie showed up outside the house. She was poaching birds coming to my feeder. She'd hide in the Hydrangeas below the feeders and wait until the birds would eat seed from the ground. She got 4 Cardinals in one day. Not wanting to lose any more birds, I figured I'd feed her, then trap and see how feral she was. Turns out she was feeding a few kittens. She disappeared a few days later only to be found on the side of the state road a couple hundred yards away.
When I took Mom to get tested and fixed, the vet called and informed me she was pretty sick and had just about every parasite known to cats. After a couple days stay at the vet, she came home to live with me. I didn't want her, but I don't want to find her dead on the road. She is making slow progress, but progress is progress.
Thank you everyone for your kind words, if you have a fur baby, please give them a little extra love, you never know when they'll be gone. And if you don't have a pet, then tell a beloved person you love them.
All the love you give and receive, I think that's what we carry with us throughout this life and the next.
Greetings from Sweden! Your channel gave me the knowledge and courage to help a family of cats that slept in a shed on my auntie’s property. The mother turned out to be the sweetest most trusting kitty. Her and her four kittens have all found forever homes (one kitten went to my grandparents!) after they were socialised in the nick of time. Were it not for your channel I wouldn’t’ve know that I CAN help. Your impact is worldwide. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They’re like “henlo food person, I love you, You’re my favorite “ and you’re like “you wouldn’t believe what I see for your future, you gonna have more favorite food people soon.”
I’d love to hear about YOUR personal cats and why you chose to keep them over the thousands of others you’ve connected with! You’re amazing! 💓💓💓
What a love bug Morris turned out to be!
"Can you imagine him in a shelter?"
As the proud owner of 2 lovely rescued cats, the thought of my 2 children living such a hard life makes my skin crawl.
Me and my girlfriend both have been helping cats for a few months and we did the first "TNR" of our lives a few weeks ago. I hope we can make a difference, so that such sweets little cats like mine don't have to go through such a harrowing street life
1:30 It's always sad to see this unloved expression on a cat. This one got lucky being saved by Flatbush. You can see within little time of being taken in, his eyes begin to show signs of happiness! He knows he's safe, is being fed and someone cares...
Flatbush Cats, making the world a better place, one cat at a time!
somehow, the name Morris fits him perfectly
Your soul-satisfying videos are always a must-click for me! Glad you’re still holding it down in Brooklyn, which I miss so much!
Morris/morrice is so cute ! So glad that he’s in his forever home !
We have had our rescue for nearly three years. She was found with her kittens under a porch just before winter set in. It was clear that she had been with humans once. She had many health problems; broken teeth and abcesses, early stage kidney disease, etc. We were able to get her the dental surgery she needed (she is now toothless and couldn't be happier to be on wet food for the rest of her life) and got her back to full health. She is the sweetest cat I have ever had and loves that we love her. She trusts us now, and knows if we have to trim her claws or give her medicine that it will be okay.
It upsets us whenever we think about what she had to go through before we came into her life. An animal is a life-long responsibility and should be treated as such.
What a handsome little boy, you can feel the heartbreak. :(
"Morris" is showing his gratitude for a loving person taking care of him. He will be a wonderful pal to someone!
"He decided to let his guard down a little bit"
Cat: *plops down on human*
Morris is sweet cat and I hope he finds his family.
Watching this with my own rescue by my side is always heartwarming. All my cats were abandoned at some point in their lives.
"while this cat may have a tough exterior"
the cat: 🥺
He looks like Morris from a long time ago commercial. Love that purr....I could sleep to it.❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for all you do for those cats!
Flatbush Cats videos are simply the best! Highly professional, beautifully produced, and the music is so relaxing. And they teach viewers what to expect while fostering, and to never settle for a first impression. Thank you!
I love the Kurt Cobain clip near the end of the video. I'm sure he would be smiling down at the work you're doing, he loved cats.
"It's not that the cat doesn't like people, may be the cat love them very much, but people let them down anyway"
I am crying 😭😭😭
Such a handsome kitty! So happy he found his furever home
One of our cats, Moose, showed up at our house in our old neighborhood. Either someone moved and left him, or he escaped. No one in the neighborhood knew where he belonged, so we took him with us when we moved. He became instant friends with our oldest cat Nippy. They would run though the house doing their “war whoop”. Moose warmed up to me more than my wife. I feel so happy when I see him sleeping on his back without a care in the world. My wife and I(and our group) take care of feral colonies in our town. They are all cared for and looked after. Keep up the great work!
You have inspired me to do the same thing in my neighborhood in Roanoke VA. I have rescued 3 kittens and 3 adult cats so far. Two of the adults are mines. I worked with Angels of Assisi a local non profit to get the other ones successfully spayed/neutered and adopted. Thanks💖
Awesome! ❤️ so amazing to hear this.
👏👏👏
Thank you for giving this sweet cat a chance at a new life ☺️
Such a sweet cat, he has such beautiful markings!
I do TNR and have a feral cat colony, these times are harder, and making it harder, especially since my husband died in 2019, he use to help me so such, now I do it all alone, and the cats just keep coming!
I'm sorry to hear about your husband. See if any local rescue organizations can provide you with food and supplies, or if any of your neighbors would be willing to switch off with you or take on a feeding time. You're doing wonderful work!
watching your videos make me happy to know what I'm doing helps, i take care of 5-8 semi feral/colony cats. 5 regulars and then 3 who come if they're hungry or around at the time. All fixed and ear tipped and living their best lives :D
Thank you so much for being kind.
love that moment when they realize they're safe to relax and just soak up affection. then they reflect it back and it's so gratifying. all cats and dogs deserve that moment.
Morris is such a sweet boy. Thank you guys for all you do. I started crying when you said that “It’s not that he doesn’t like people…maybe he loved them very much and was let down anyway” you’re so insightful and you help educate people and that is a wonderful thing.
All of our kitties have been rescue/shelter cats. Rescue pets have so much love to give, and they know what you’ve done for them. One that we adopted, wouldn’t let us sleep for the first 2 nights.😻
orange tabbys have a special place in my heart and whenever i look at him i just think: WANT
Thank you for everything you do. Several of our foster fails were just like that - very shut down. It took patience, time and love to bring them out of their shells. They were wonderful cats/are wonderful. A couple of them have passed now. Seeing Morris blossom in this video made me tear up.
Thank you for taking care of the street cats and stray cats that live in the wild, The cat is the same as the one I keep and the cat that I keep I got from the streets that were dumped by humans, but the difference is that the cats I found in my place are mostly female and in a thin state of malnutrition and now the total of all the cats I raise is around 34 tails. greetings from cat lovers in Indonesia, cat lover.
Morris is so cute, he deserves the best ❤️
Wonderful work resocialising Morris - he'll make someone a great companion. The only trouble when they've struggled to find enough food is stopping them getting fat - one of our rescues would just constantly eat if we let him. Fortunately he's not aggressive towards our other cats when it comes to food, but we have to make sure he doesn't hoover up their leftovers!
These videos never fail to make me cry.
your videos so often make my tear up and then still put a big smile on my face 😊
Thank you so much for your work for all these wonderfull cats! ❤️
I miss a sweet big old cat who was a stray around the apartments. Several people were giving him food and a place to stay, but he'd always want back out when I'd let him in and try to get him to stay. He panicked and refused when I tried to get him in to the vet for a second visit, and he had fought the vet on the first visit. He was not bad, not truly aggressive, just scared and confused. He was sweet, but he wouldn't stay. I didn't know the others who were helping him, so couldn't coordinate with them. -- In April, the management staff changed, and they culled ALL the strays / feral around the complex. Only recently have I heard any cat outside again. -- I would have gladly had that old cat for a permanent friend if I could've. But also, there's a two-pet limit and at the time, I still had my senior cat plus a kitten who'd arrived and invited herself in. (She was lucky she wasn't out when they got the strays: She was inside recovering after getting spayed and her shots.) -- So the big old lummox, only a few years old, a shy but friendly and loving tomcat...was taken (-don't-know-where, and I hope he got adopted rather than killed. And I miss him. -- My senior cat lost his battle with old age and illness in May, so I have just the kitten now, almost a year old. Always before, a cat has arrived on my doorstep to be taken in, or else friends have had one, but this time, it looks like I will have the very tough choice of picking one cat from a shelter, when they all need someone. So, well, I've always felt they choose who they want to be with and we bond. So I hope when the time comes that there will be that right cat and I'm the right person for them. Meanwhile, I hope the old lovable stray got a home, plus the others I saw around, including a kitten. They can't help how they ended up homeless. I think it's true for many humans too, homeless or not.
What you're doing MATTERS!
Darn allergies ;) I became a monthly "member"- what a great idea! That way, I can donate a (smaller), more consistent amount (instead of a lump sum), and increase/decrease as needed. I encourage all of you to too- if possible (I know times are tight)! Thanks for all that you do- I enjoy your videos and your posts on Instagram. You are truly doing God's work!
Omg... this is rhe sweetest story ❤... he's so cute and the way he opened up 🥺
The greatest gift to mankind is cats.
2:26 My heart is melting 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You do amazing work! I take care of a feral cat colony that lives around my house. There are about 8 cats. I got 5 of them fixed. I'm working on the other 3. It's a rewarding experience, and a necessary job we must do to stop the cat over population problem across this country. Keep up the great work.
This video made me cry! Look at the change in that little sweetheart. Thank you SO much for everything you do, I'm happy to support you monthly and hope many others can do too (it's only the price of a coffee!)
What a king!
Moris deserves a loving forever home, thank you for your work
Watching this video, I could feel my heart aching, then tears welling up in my eyes as I watched Morris cower--but then, with relief, I could smile and then even chuckle as Morris began to feel safe--what wonderful work you are doing! Thank you for making these powerful videos.
Love cats to pieces. Wish I had a place of my own, I'd have a thousand.
It's the saddest thing to me to see these cats' eyes. They tell the tale - fear, anger, exhaustion, hopelessness. It's all in the eyes.
You folks are dear! Big-time kudos to all involved!
And that's from Morris, too :)
Has Morris gotten his forever home yet?
What a freakin love bug!!!
God, this is the best thing to watch ever. Cats transforming into friendly wonderful sweethearts. Look at this handsome scruffy boy. That said, for those who have the time and resources, I've seen adult ferals (feral, not just stray) made friendly over years of hard work.
We named our ginger tabby Morris because of him ❤
LOOK HOW HAPPY AND CLEAN HE IS! NOW! SO GREAT!
Poor guy, glad he ran into you
Oh, I'm so happy you gave Morris a loving, forever home! And are taking care of feral cats too 😽💞
Aw, Maurice. Thank you for rescuing this lovely red-haired & affectionate little cat.
Even though I can’t donate, This makes me glad that my family has helped one feral cat. Where we live, I don’t see a lot of feral cats, only a few outdoor cats that we know the owners of. But this feral cat, (who already had a notch in his ear) was suffering from a terrible injury on the back of his neck (probably from a mean dog or more likely a mountain lion,(we live in Utah)). We didn’t have the funds or resources to bring him into the vet but gave him food regularly, and a safe shelter. We worried that he would have trouble through the winter so my dad put a heating pad inside his shelter with a camera to monitor him. When he discovered the heating pad he would curl up and sleep so soundly. His wound is looking much better now after a couple months (fur grown back and just a small spot left to heal). Even though he’s feral, I think he likes sticking around us.
This literally made me cry. Thank you for all you do!
Morris is an amazing, loving cat! Thank you for helping him ❤

He’s a pro biscuit maker!
I'm in Oregon, I have a feral colony and 4 now loving tame kittens in my home 🐱🐱🐱🐱
