      I lived in Queens and I rescued cats, I moved out of the city to a rural area decades ago with 22 cats.
      3 1/2 years ago two cats found me here and one is a wonderful character and I'd like to have him adopted but he hates the indoors, in winter I have outdoor shelters for them. I have a problem, no rescue group can help me I've called and I've asked and begged for help placing the outdoor cats, I'm moving to senior housing I can't abandon the outdoor cats, can someone help me please ? I'm 3 hours from New York City.

      there was a serial killer that would adopt cats just torture and kill them he would nail their paws to the drywall, and he was set free not too long ago, i'd do a psych eval on every person that adopts a cat.

      This is so amazing to see! I love that you are taking care of stray cats and are even taking them to the vet to get checked and treated. However, please consider giving your cats solid food that is approved by a veterinarian as this is much better for their heath, particularly their teeth.

      J M Maybe you can look at rescues further away. Some do barn cat programs. You can try going to Local Harvest, www.localharvest.org and try contacting farms directly. Farmers need directions for introducing the cats gradually. Those directions should be on the Web. Also, breweries of craft beer and what not often have outdoor cats.
      Good luck.

      @98dizzard 5 років тому +93

      @@k2xPowa I think every fosterer has at least one foster fail, where you end up keeping them. It gets easier to say goodbye the more you have to do it though. We had two kittens in one litter we wanted to keep, but one of them just didn't get on with our current cat, and was being bullied by the other kitten. I became so attached to her, and I cried for hours over letting her go. But it was the right thing for her, and our cat too. The stress wasn't good for either of them.
      I found it hard working with the next litter we had, I was avoiding them to prevent getting attached. Since then though I've gotten more involved again and am finding it easier to not get as attached.
      But, we have helped 30 cats or kittens in the 9 months we have been doing it, and if we took on many more of our own cats, we probably wouldn't be able to continue.

Ferals are born wild so they are initially scared of people, but with work can become housecats. Also, cats can get pregnant as young as 4months old, they just dont go into heat until 6months... ur talking to someone whos owned cats my entire life and rescued them since i was like 8 😂.

      @blackletter2591 5 років тому +18

      I don't think it is. That might be a case of an animal who takes dominance hierarchies for granted (us) watching cats and projecting a bit. I've kept multiple cats for decades and have the impression that cats have a very acutely tuned limit for physical familiarity. One second, you think it's all going cosy and the next, the teeth and claws are out: they're triggered for a fight and the other cat is all whut?? I didn't do anything! Same when you are tickling their belly. They like it, but suddenly, they can't stand it. Later on, all friends and cuddles again. So not about being boss. Sometimes it's the little one who gets the huff.

    • @ellieisbusy

      @@blackletter2591 cats do have hierarchies (domestic and wild) so the exerting dominance thing actually makes sense.
      The belly scratching thing, if you know how to "read" a cat you'll see when they're starting to feel overwhelmed: swishing tail, pupils dilated and eyes wide... It can also be a matter of *how* you're scratching, some cats get stressed when it's a more vigorous session, other cats love it. They've all got their personalities, don't they? :)

      She's got somewhat of the body type for partial Siamese
      They're usually black/white and a lot lankier though
      I think she may have just learnt that being so loud to people gets her food and attention she needed to survive
      Also would explain her dependency issues
      A tabby I petsit for is the exact same way as her previous owners got bored of her when she was like a year old, or even less; just when she was no longer a small kitten anymore
      Left her to fend for herself for months on end and she survived by being super loud and needy
      That cat NEVER shuts up. I love her to pieces, though. She's a food demander and thief, and she visits the neighbours for a free meal often
      She greets most people at the door when they visit, even strangers
      The way she grew up on the street, people = food and cuddle machines that insistent meows are required for those services to be dispensed
      She also drools a lot too, actually

    Memes aside, that's super that you have this service set up around Brooklyn! I'm assuming this was before COVID-19 of course, but I hope it can still function today. It doesn't matter what the situation a person is in, they deserve to have a happy, healthy pet that's not going to cause more trouble. The joy these animals bring and the joy we bring to these animals is a treasure everyone should be able to attain without worrying. Especially now, having a small unconditional, unending ball of love by your side is so important. This is a service that should be offered more widely. Much love people, keep being amazing!

      Cause that cat has a scale of apreciation: she knows how lucky she is to be indoors being fed chicken livers. If you can take the hit to your freedom, being a human's pet is a pretty soft life and cats that haven't had to fend for themselves in their entire lives have no idea how tough life really is. Like teenagers, they don't know all the things they are shielded from and only see the limits of their position.

      My advice? Look it up. I’m guessing that any use of “break my heart” for anything other than a very sad, difficult moment will be slang (probably American too; I’ve NEVER heard anyone use “break my heart” in a positive context before in my country) and therefore incorrect.
      Don’t forget then many people think that “I’m waiting on you” is correct English but it’s absolutely incorrect. At least I’ve heard people sincerely use “wait on” before. As I said, this is the first time I’ve seen someone think that heart break is a positive thing 😂😂🤡☕️

I am disabled and if not for the amazing people at my local Animal Shelter I never could have afforded to have Poppy fixed at the vets office. They all quoted me 200!!! I got her spayed, rabies and distemper for 50.00!! And I found out many states have a certificate program fro residents on foodstamps and medicaid that they only need to pay 20 00 for a spay or neuter! We owe it to our fur babies to make sure they stay as healthy and happy as possible. Going into heat and being locked inside is NOT happy for you or the cat! Than you Flatbush for all you do!

      RedZeshinX Garfield lives at Flatbush. Charlie got her own human to boss around.

    Thank you for your amazing work. Because of people like you, lucky pet-lovers like me get to find our soul-mates - rescued pets. They are such grateful beings.

    That cat, Charlie, would do well with children and a dog. 🐕

      I grew up on a farm, over the years we had many different animals.
      For me, a home is just not a home if there's not a animal also living there.
      A place without animals is cold, empty, its just a place for survival, not comfort.

    What a sweet cat. She was likely a very sweet house pet that was abandoned or got lost. Someone as sweet as that would not have survived on the streets.
