Rescuing a mom cat and her kittens
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- A neighbor was trying to get the cats in her backyard fixed, but she couldn’t find an affordable spay neuter appointment. So those cats had more cats. These marshmallow poofs were just four out of several thousand kittens that are born outside in Brooklyn every year.
Mom was fiercely protective of her little nuggets, and we were thankful that she could raise them safely indoors. A life of luxury for all! We promised this family - and so many more - that we'll prevent more cats from suffering outside or waiting around in shelters.

Yooo, what if you came up with a plan to use cats to control the rats in NYC?
Spay and neuter all of them and tag them with a chip and setup little safe shelters that open for the rfid tag in the cat. Which would have warmth, food and water.
The city is willing to spend money on rat control. That could be a great way to help all the shelter cats.

There are very few breeds of cats that would go after rats! Most of them don't want the risk of getting bitten; they know better. NYC does need to come up with a better plan to control the rat population. As in, more traps in hard to reach places and the personnel to collect the dead ones.
@@touchofgrey5372 I did not know that, then maybe a good way to home the ones that are hunters, is to give them the chip and a outside home as well as matching them with a primary human. So they can take them for regular check ups and stuff, but the cat gets let out of the house to roam still. Just ideas, I love cats, they’re the shit. Just want to help.
Honestly, I’ll prob be volunteering in the next year when I’m in Manhattan more often.
donated ❤️ Happy Holidays! 😘
Yeah right. Like u do not get enough money from selling those back yard breeder. U need to make fake videos and ask for money
Awww mom reaching through the cage towards her kittens and making sure they stay in their box was too precious 🥺
I love how she handled the one trouble maker in the box, she gave him/her a talking too. And turned it back on the correct "Path" with a gentle paw

Thanks for all your hard work. 🙏
How to do these type of comments?

Wow
THANK YOU TOO

That white mama cat is a loving force of nature. I'm sure it was easy to get a human for her and her adorable kittens.
That said, I don't understand how in all heaven a government doesn't consider in its best interest to care for all strays, making sure they get neutered and, if possible, adopted.
Volunteers do a terrific job, but they shouldn't be left alone to cope.
Spaying and neutering then all would be genocide. There would be no cats left except for expensive purebreds.
Many thanks for all you do from the bottom of my heart ❣️

Did no one else notice that Nicolas Cage cushion?

😂😂😂😂 yes!
Beautiful kittens and Mumcat is an odd-eyed white. Absolutely stunning and hope they all got good, loving homes.
Yes! I noticed that: a blue eye and yellow/green one. Gorgeous.
In our country odd eyed cats are €1500,- and up! 😳😨 I am SO GLAD💖 they found her before someone took her to make her a breeding cat
@@janevandervoort6507 26 years ago my cat got out before I had her spayed and she had a litter of 5 kittens. She was a black cat but 4 of the kittens were white and one was tabby and white. Two of the white kittens were both odd-eyed - one green eye, one blue eye, another had the palest blue eyes I've ever seen and the other kitten had green eyes. The green eyed kitten was the only one that was deaf. We kept them all and yes, they were all neutered and spayed. We lost the last of the litter, the tabby and white cat to old age in 2018. She was just shy of her 21st birthday.

White cats are the most adoptable followed by colorpoints. Seems like people have white supremacist taste when it comes to cats. I myself am partial to flamepoints.
Momma has the most gorgeous eyes I've ever seen. I kinda hope her floofs get them as well.
That Nick Cage pillow caught me off guard.
Thank you for being such an inspiration. My wife and I have now fostered over 40 kittens in the last two years for our local shelter. All because of your videos ☺️
God bless you❤❤❤❤

You and your wife are amazing angels
U and ur wife are guardian angels for cats, ♥♥
My family did that a number of years ago when we owned cats that would permit strange cats in the house. We fostered 22 cats that year and we called them rental cats. We only had one foster fail, but giving up that first litter of kittens had the entire family in tears. It got better over time.
I just realized that my failed foster cat just turned 18 in October so it's been that long ago. Thank you for taking in your own rental cats. It's rewarding work.
Such sweet babies, momma included, I had a white kitty, she was my soul mate, she was almost 23 years old when I lost her, when I see these little ones, I pray they get good homes, every living thing flourishes with love.
i approve this nic cage pillow
Watching this with my little floof who began her life on the streets as well. Thankful for her and for incredible people like you.
You guys are the nicest people ever.
He’s not nice because he free the dad cat
Such a sweet and diligent mom. I'm so glad she can rest easy now.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. The amount of knowledge I’ve learned is astounding. You guys rock
What a wonderful mom
So glad you rescued those adorable kittens and their mom!
thanks for everything, including the Nicholas Cage pillow
Hello Faith
Always been ‘Nicolas’ now. Mandela Effect.
No words do justice to how incredible Flatbush Cats organization is, and how incredibly adorable this mama cat and kittens are. ❤️
Thank you!!
Cute family! The mama cat is so adorable when the kittens first started to get out of the box.
But the pillow on 3:02 though 😅
lol finally someone mentioning the pillow haha
0:51 Aww, she's reaching for them with her paw!🥰😍Look at her eyes, mixed colors; this is SUCH an adorable snow-coated family!
Thank You very much. You demonstrate, with you actions, the best human traits that give the rest of us hope. Donated $10 in honor of my Bubba who died in February. Best Regards and Best Wishes for 2023!
No don’t do this because the man is dumb because he free the dad cat and his brother because cat can really get scared when they trap
Gosh, I haven't seen a pure white cat for ages, and this one is so adorable, such a good mama! Thank you for doing such a great job helping the helpless.
My favorite cat channel! I've already donated, but I absolutely will again.
We thank you and all your helpers.
They're so adorable, all of them, especially Momcat.
she is beautiful! what a sweet mama
Oh my she's so beautiful - her eyes 😍
thank you for giving the kittens and cats an opportunity for a good life.
we have all rescues, they give us so much love each and every day!
good luck with your work to help the poor cats stuck outside.
God man you people are so cool... I wish I could be around you.... I wanna cry knowing no one cares about animals enough the way I do... I see animals get mistreated all the time and the sadness I feel for them is so strong... But people would just look at me strange here if i share such feelings... I feel so alone
all kittens are adorable, but these little puffs were REALLY adorable
What a beautiful little family.
So glad you guys are doing this amazing work!!
She's such a good mama. Thank you for helping all the kitties you can in Brooklyn & for everything you do!
Thanks
Temporarily fostered 2 kittens to a petite & friendly mama who knew her babies were being kept warm indoors. She came very frequently, we'd let her in to feed and bathe them, but she, herself, would not stay inside. We were also feeding them while they took over our front living room, enjoying all the old cat toys, scratchers, and 1 of 3 old cat trees. Two male brothers, always wrestling, learning to climb, jump, roll, and hunt whatever rolled across the floor! Very enjoyable, very tiring!
As stated in your video, there aren't enough low cost spay/neuter facilities in any town, all with appointments made 2-3 mos. out. I made appointments with all of them, including our regular veterinary hospital and a couple of animal clinics, some charging $200+. Luckily, I knew of an organization that fosters and adopts out stray kittens from their own homes, having been through this in 2019 with 4 kittens. As soon as the 2 kittens were 2 mos. old, they were able to take them, spay them and find homes. Our senior cats are relieved of no more kitten chaos, and we got mama spayed for only $75.00. She still comes by, but just for food and scratches.
I don't think I could be a rescuer. I would get too attached to the babies and end up living with 100 plus cats. Lol.
You have to think of the fostering job as taking care of them until they're big enough and healthy enough to be neutered and move on to their permanent home. You miss them at first, but often you can get some follow up email pictures so you know they're ok, and there are more kittens soon.
It's much harder to foster senior cats who get used to your house and have such a difficult time finding a permanent home. THOSE end up staying.
I'd be happy with a couple of my own cats and fostering. but yeah, they all have different personalities so it'd be bittersweet to see them go if ya get attached.
@@machinismus Bittersweet is a good way to put it. It's an important and necessary thing to do, (also kittens are great fun) so I try to answer the people like Roxan who virtuously say they would keep them all. I have pictures of every one though.
Beautiful kitties.
Keep up the good work guy's.
👏

Such an adorable Mom cat ❤ thank you for the fantastic rescues, and the community is involved 👏🏻 you are real heroes 👏🏻
Mum cats are all adorable. Feral or not, they ALL love their kittens!
It was so wonderful to see this sweet, beautiful mama acting so lovingly and nurturing her mini marshmallows! 💕
that is such a good mama, I’m glad you were able to rescue both the kittens and her
I had a wee odd-eyed white fellow years ago. One of the sweetest cats I've ever had ^_^ Bless you for saving this mum, her babies, and so many others
Ah, the upside down crab flip. One of mine does that when his brother approaches him with intent. I didn’t know there was a name for it 😂
Love and support for flatbush cats, you're awesome.
Upside down crab flip. Awww. You flatbush guys are awesome.
I don't have much but thanks for taking good care of these lovely creatures.
What cute family cat.
That Nick Cage pillow cracks me up😂
An attentive Mother is a big plus - our last pregnant rescue cat didn't really care much - she fed them a bit, but we had to take over after a week - we literally did almost all the work, LOL.
Thank you for saving this beautiful mom and kittens.
They are all beautiful and gorgeous animals.
I want them alllll
You are amazing! Warms my heart to see so many people who help. I found it so rewarding taking in straws and getting them ready for their forever homes. God bless you ❤🫶🏽🙏🏽
Omg they all beautiful wow I wish I can adopt them and the mom too!! God bless you always for doing this beautiful job wow 😘😘🥰
If we lived nearby, we would have gladly adopted two of those babies. We have two rescue sisters that are black kitties. The mom is beautiful.
Thank you for the smiles this brought
Thank you for your hard work helping animals. You deserve all thanks and appreciation
Love that pillow! is that Nic Cage?
Yes it is, lol XD
Thank you all for what you do. You guys are my heroes ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the great job you are doing❤
They are beautiful🥰😍
What a beautiful cat family.
God bless you to all the donated too.
I can finally donate! It’s only $10/mth, but I hope it helps!
I am french-british following you from Denmark. I think you all do such a wonderful job and all I can say is thank God you're not in Alabama. I just read in the Guardian about 2 Alabama cat saviour ladies arrested for trespassing. Sometimes you have to keep very calm when faced with administrative ignorance.
That Nicholas Cage pillow. 😭🤣

Excepcional work. ❤️🐈

so lucky mama and babies❤️
The real star of this video is that Nic Cage pillow at 3:01 😆
(Kidding, it's obviously all of the important work you do ❤but it did make me laugh!)
Hello Jessica
OMG! Those pink toe beans got me 🥰🥰
I always joke with my husband that if we ever get a 3rd cat, pink toe beans will be on the "must" list 😆
Thank you for all you do for these babies and moms!
WHAT IS THAT NIC CAGE PILLOW 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank y'all for being there. The cats appreciate it too. Have a blessed life.
oh my! cuteness overload!

THANK U FOR YOUR KINDNESS HUMANITY
Beautiful...full of love and care. Thanks team Flatbush! David
Thank you so much for helping the fur babies God bless yous
THANK-YOU for everything you and everyone involved do to save these beautiful guys and gals! My 2 cats were also strays years ago now fixed and don't even want to go outside anymore. We love them so that was last like 5 years ago. ♥️👍🐈⬛🥰♥️
Beautiful mom cat and her precious kittens 💖 Thank you for rescuing the family 🙏💐💖😻 You given the kittens a chance to grow up safely and happily 👍
Such gorgeous cats! Very adoptable. Many white cats with blue eyes are deaf...hopefully not for these beautiful kitties.
Holy cow what a gorgeous little family!
The New York pet store ban has passed. I hope Brooklyn and all of New York are closer than ever to a time when there are no more homeless pets!
What a great mom💜💜💜
Thanks for being such good rescuers🎄🎄🎄
Ohhh …. They are all white like Angels !!! Bless bless them … and you Guys !!! 👏👏👏😻
Thank you and bless you and thank you. Great respect for your work in educating people. Tangent: in Australia it is recommended that white cats are inside 24/7 Because they are so very vulnerable to skin cancers here. The sunlight is different to northern countries.
Thank you so much for helping all cats GOD BLESS YOU
All the cats and kittens are so precious 💕
Thanks to all of you for helping them. I liked and subscribed 😊
The momma cat was awesome! She was laying down the law and enforcing it immediately if not sooner! 😂 I love what you are doing. I used to help domesticate strays next a grocery store in my area so others could catch and then spay or neuter the fuzzy ones and they would find homes quicker that way. There was only one that would not be completely tamed and he was and older big tom cat. He got nipped but his home was in the backyard of house next to the store. He had lots of fans and was spoiled for being such a contrary fellow.
Great video! All the cats are so cute!
What a fantastic job you guys are doing. The white momma and babies were just so beautiful, as are all kitties to me. Thank you xxxxx
