He asked his boss if he could get into the wall and the boss said no.. heartless jerk.... but my dad took the risk of getting fired and so he got through the wall himself and broke his arm. When he got into the wall there were 6 kittens and two mothers... my dad saved 8 cats and got fired for it!!! But I'm proud they are all fine. They were adopted by co-workers who helped save them. I don't know much except for the fact that the kittens were fine afterwards.

@@thornvines7590 Spaying/Neutering isn't a bad thing; it keeps cat populations under control. Responsible owners need to spay/neuter their pets if they do not plan to become a breeder as not only would the hormone fluctuations bring about frustrations to both the animal and human, unaccounted breeding will lead to more homeless kittens if the cat or human aren't in a good place to care for all of them :(
@@aimanjulianavillegas8142 Wow. Are you really that dense???? Did my comment say that? It said I hate people who do this to animals. Did the rescuers abandon the animals?? You really had to scroll for this comment to, I posted this a year ago.
Sometimes rescuers can accidentally turn into a hoarding situation without any intention to, when rescuers don't know how to say no, or ppl keep dropping off too many more, especially small time rescuers, like say, a personal family. It can and does turn into a potential danger much more than ppl know. Some of these ppl who end up handling more then they themselves can rescue even get jail time when in originally, they were only setting out to help these animals and it just got too big.
I've been reading this book called "Imagine Heaven," and I haven't gotten to reading the full chapter yet, but at the end, there's a chapter on seeing pets in Heaven. I'm sure that's where this little kitten is now, loved by the Lord and His angels while he grows into a big strong cat, and seeing beautiful valleys and trees and big pretty flowers, a lot of the chapters in this book describe flowers. :)
So.. There was this kitty that i spotted in an abandonned worfactory for about 3 days. I teamed up with friends that wanted to help and we managed to catch him, and after looking around the property we did find two sisters but sadly no mother. Tomorrow is the day when we will finally be able to get them back from the vet who had watched after them during multiple treatments and this clip made me confident about the fact that we should continue to do such actions and happy to see that more and more volunteers actually do them.
You and your friends are beyond amazing! You’ve helped some desperate kittens, strengthen your trust with each other and have done something that many can never do. I wish I could trust my friends enough, to do something like this. I hope you are all okay!
I went from having 1 cat to 6. Came home from work and my wife had found 5 kittens abandoned by the mother - she had probably been killed. They were still not even weaned. We took them in and I told my wife that when they were weaned that we would take them to a shelter. After 3 weeks or so, I came home and my wife said, "This is Cristina, this is Max, etc." Everyone knows when cats are named. That was 15 years ago. They own the house now.
Every time I watch these I literally want to go all around the world and save all the cats and kittens in need. But then I realize that some cats are feral and know how to cope in their environment. When I saw the frozen baby kitten it literally made me hug my kittens and say:”YOUR SAFE WITH ME MY FURRY CHILDREN....”
I also want to save all the animal's all over, animals pay hell for what people do to them, its realy sad...but I truly thank the good people we have on GOD'S earth.....
At least these cats could go outside in the fresh air and hunt. They look a lot better than ones that are trapped in a house with waste-soaked floors and toxic air. Thank you for helping these sweet kitties.
i wouldn't call cats being feral a downside. that's their natural state (except for some overbred races). i would honestly just leave them there. seemed like cat paradise, at least for wild cats.
being feral is a huge down side cause it means they either have to put them down or leave them there to catch those diseases again.cause being feral is not their natural state cause they are a domesticated animal. also does getting frostbite and diseases really look like a paradise?
Pure Mouse no, these cats yes, they may have been born in the wild but they are domestic cats they have adapted to being house hold pets so can’t survive brendon urie themselves
Yes he is. :) Have you ever heard of this book called "Imagine Heaven"? I haven't read this chapter yet, but the last chapter talks about seeing animals in Heaven. I know that's where this little kitten is now, he's growing up to be a big, healthy, happy cat and loved by God and His angels, and seeing beautiful valleys and trees and big pretty flowers, this book talks a lot about apparently big and beautiful flowers. :)
I hope the law comes down hard on this person. And these beings get the justice they deserve. Blessings to all those who took the time out of their own lives to help other sentient creatures. Xxx
Unfortunately in all likelihood the person behind this suffered from some form of severe mental illness. This is the reality of our society after 30 years of Reagan's Deinstitutionalization policies. Instead of being in mental health facilities getting the help they need, America's severely mentally ill live in squalid conditions getting addicted to drugs or hoarding animals as seen here.
Spaying and neutering is so so crucial. Never knew this as well enough... More homeless kittens /cats, more suffering... :/ Thank you for all that you do..god bless you and your team with all the resources in abundance which you may need everytime, all the time
Poor little cats. How could someone do this to them? Cats need love, affection, food, water, and a proper home. I am so glad y’all came and rescued them. The cats probably are very scared, but you are helping them, and saving their lives. I’m sure that they will all love you with all their heart, and be thanking you, in a cat sort of way.
Holy Jesus... not THIS situation again. I cried with that last video with those 40 abandoned cats/kittens and now I cried for these and for that poor little one dead. This is heartbreaking... :( Thank you Chris and thanks to all the wonderful people who help you. Seriously, I mean it. Thank you for bringing some hope to these poor creatures life. Thank you for doing this.
FrozenVaIkyrie Sadly I see this all the time on Animal Cops. One time a cat hoarder was keeping dead cats & kittens in a freezer because he wanted to be buried with them. 😱
FrozenVaIkyrie It was disturbing to say the least. Though I think he was mentally ill, not abusive & just needed help. Sadly, animal hoarders are too blind to see the poor condition their animals are in & think they're doing the right thing or they get overwhelmed. Sometimes after getting help they do realise they're better off, both them & the animals. One of the worst cases of real animal cruelty I've seen was a guy who locked up 2 kittens with no food or water just so he could see how long it would take them to die. Unfortunately, despite the hard work that went into saving them, 1 of them did die, however the other 1 got adopted into a wonderful home.
Señora de Mendoza I know. I just say the situation itself is sad :( Only people who do this shit on purpose are to blame (like the dude with the two kittens you mentioned) mentally ill people can't help it but they need help asap so bad things never happen again. They will be better and the cats will be better too.
I always appreciate that you show the realities of what rescues entail, including the harsh conditions and the fact that not all endings are happy. I know there are other prominent cat channels on UA-cam that refuse to show anything sad, and while I can understand not wanting to ruin anyone's day, it's worth a day being ruined if it means that more people understand why rescues need money and manpower, why neutering and spaying are so important, and an animal's life can be saved. Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia can lead wonderful lives, as evidenced by the many livestreams of rescue centers that have cats with this condition. FFRC has quite a few cats with varying severities of CH that are super cute and active, if anyone wants to see them.
He is in a sort of animal heaven. God loves the animal species, mainly that ones near to us in soul and human feelings. Cats, dogs, farm animals, mammals from the wild, even the birds, all of them have souls, animal souls, of course; and the Allmighty have plenty of mercy, generosity and lot of space for them all. Jesus in the Gospels show his compassion for animals. Sorry by my bad english, I'm from Monterrey Mexico and l love the cats so much.
me too, still im crying a bit now. i wish i could've just held him, even though he was gone, and just tell him it was ok, and his suffering was over now
i can usually handle disturbing imagery, nasty wounds, hordes of fleas, etc. because i know in the end the cats are going to be okay and get to a better home. the stiff kitten, though.. that brought me to tears. rest in peace, little buddy. may whatever afterlife you live be warm and full of milk.
Cat Man Chris I applaud for the dedication you have, in doing this job. If I were to join this, I would’ve had a breakdown, as soon as I step foot into that property...
they are not poor babies they are wild predators. would you "rescue" a bear from the woods and put him into a cage? as far as i can see those cats were doing pretty good. sure, some have died but that's how nature works. the weak die and the strong breed. they had a house and a barn and lots of land to hunt on. i seriously doubt your intelligence if you think a cat is better off being fed hipster catfood, castrated, declawed and bound than live it's life free in nature, hunting, breeding and surviving as is their natural way of life.
I wanted to keep the last grey kitten I rescued, but we were literally driving to Fl in a couple of weeks, too much chaos at that time in our lives without adding another kitten to the mix :)
Chris, if you have any info on where the CH cats and kittens will be adopted out from, please let us know! I'm in a large group of CH owners and can spread the word. CH kitties are often euthanized due to misconceptions about the condition but they can live happy, healthy lives when adopted to loving families :)
You mean the person who was renting the property, aka, the tenant they mentioned in the beginning of the video? The owner is likely the one who evicted them and alerted these people so that the cats could be rounded up. Or did I not change your mind?
What an amazing rescue! I went to Greece this summer, and what I thought would just be a "laying around on the beach all day" type of vacation turned in to the desperate saving of a 6 weeks old stray kitten. His name is now Ikaros and is waiting in a shelter in Greece before I can get him to his forever home in Sweden in October.
Chris, the work you do with these groups is invaluable and although I was in floods of tears over the kitten you could not save I wanted to thank you for including the clip because it is so important that people see the downside of rescuing. It is a great thing these groups do but also heart-breaking at timez and that is very important to remember. Love to Cole, Marm and their new sisters xx
I felt so sad when I seen the frozen kitten. This makes me want to rescue a lot of animals before there lives are ended from the colds of the winter, the heat of the summer, and the falls of hunting season. Have a nice rest of the day
Whenever I think there are monsters that hurt animals on purpose, my faith is restored by people like you and the other groups working hard to rescue them. Good job to everyone who was involved in this mission! Also, can we mention how handsome George looked? :P
Hoarders don't hurt animals on purpose. They want to provide good care to all their animals, but get in over their head. Often they're mentally ill, and there's usually a lot of shame making it harder for them to reach out for help.
my Misha is mentally challenged and blind in one eye. but she loves it when i watch your videos, and she goes nuts every time you feature kittens! she would have been a good mama kitty!
These cats are very lucky to be rescued. Most abounded in other buildings dies. But bless these people for using the time to find these cats a new home where they can be loved
This was a bit tough to watch, but it shows the nasty reality of hoarding and not getting your pets spayed/neutered! Thank you for helping all of these cats and kittens. 💖
The hissing kitten hiding in the back of the carrier is so terrified it just kills me. He's like frozen pressed up against the crate. But knowing CMC & crew are there to help them , he is in wonderful hands
6:19 Poor, little darling's life hadn't even really begun. 😭 I wonder if the kittens born with that wobbly condition are inbred, given the circumstances I don't imagine there could be any other explanation. 🤔 Thank goodness they're all out of that situation, are fixed & in good homes now. 😄
It's not directly a result of inbreeding, but if the parents have it then there's a chance of it getting passed down to the babies, and if both parents have it, the chance is higher, so inbreeding would certainly result in more babies with the condition.
CH (wobby cat syndrome) occurs when the mother gets the panleukapenia virus while pregnant or when the kitten had head trauma at some point early in their development, it is not a genetic disease but rather a developmental one. It just means that their cerebellum isn't fully developed so they have poor motor control and poor balance - they can live long, healthy, happy lives, even if they do fall over a bit more than your average cat. Although some of the kittens in the video had a head tilt, which is not usually a symptom of CH, so I hope they got checked out by a vet and properly diagnosed.
She said she wanted to be a rescue.... but letting these animals breed, not getting them vet attention when needed and not being able to provide suitable living conditions = hoarding :(
Cat Man Chris They have the best of intentions in the beginning, but they eventually get in over their heads. It's really sad for everyone. Ideally all cats should be in good, loving homes, but compared to this, they'd be better off on the streets.
Thanks for your conscientious and heartfelt care and affection for the poor kitties you help...I buy bags of dry food for a lady here in Paducah who works at CVS and feeds the neighborhood kitties... and have found good homes for six I have rescued myself over the years. I have a tiny home and one cat at a time lives with me in my home. I have always loved kitties and got my first pre ious furball at age six, and named her Thomasina from a cat movie I loved as a child. She was a calico and such a good girl. I would adopt every cat I could today but that isn't the answer . If all of us would do our one small part, the problem would be reduced and kitties would not have to suffer so. No animal, whether horse, dog or cat, deserves being mistreated or thrown out when times get hard or their owners die. God bless the animals who have to try and make it on their own, despite hoarders, life threatening weather, debilitating hunger, fast cars, animal territory fights, etc. May God send his earthly and heavenly angels to watch over them and help whenever and wherever they can. God bless you and the other thoughtful and caring entities who provide safety, healthcare, love, and the chance of caring, safe and protective homes to these precious forgotten little sweeties. Bless them all and may they know kindness and caresses after some of the inhumane treatment they have endured. My dad, also a catlover, had three cats, who were sisters and brothers from the same litter, who lived in his big woodworking shop and they all lived long lives, Boots was 25, Smokie was 23, and Speckles died at 22. I grew up with those kitties and they were like part of the family. I might have learned to drive at 16, but the cats weren't allowed to! They are all buried in our pet cemetery and they are remembered by me today. Part of the joy of a happy life and one well led, is a result of the love and compassion we show to others, whether man or beast. Dad's life was sweetened by the companionship of his kitties, and I feel the same about my life with the cats I have adopted and loved. Thanks for letting me reminisce as my cat loving dad has been gone these fourteen years. And again, for all you do, and the other friends who help you, a great big grateful thank you!
I've had a total of 13-14 cats in my entire life, seeing them living like this makes me sad. Almost every cat I've had was given to me by someone who got hurt or got sick and was unable to take care of them anymore, or was rescued from almost dying.
Yeah, indeed not easy to watch but if you imagine what rescue and adoption means to every single cat and kitten you rescued that is even of higher value and importance given their past life. And I am sure that they will also make a lot of people’s life better and spread joy. Thanks so much for making this world a little better ❤️❤️❤️
I'm reading this book called "Imagine Heaven," and I haven't gotten to this last chapter yet, but it talks about seeing animals in Heaven. That's where this little kitten is now. :) He's growing big and strong and he's happy and healthy and very much alive. He's loved and cared by God and His angels, and roaming rolling valleys and climbing trees and smelling big beautiful flowers, this book likes to talk a lot about apparently wonderful flowers.
I'll never understand how someone could hurt an animal and let them live in such poor conditions. And seeing the kitten who passed away made me cry. I'm so glad these babies are happy and healthy. 💖 Thank You to all you animal rescuers. Without you alot more animals would suffer.
When the little baby one died I cried,, to me kittens and cats are like humans that can't talk or look normal. They have all the love to give and they're such distant animals because most of the cats you've adopted possibly lived in a condition like this,, they just don't want to see themselves die like they did with other cats that couldn't make it on the property.
This breaks my heart! Thank you all for helping! The situation they were living is terrible and so wrong! The tenants punishment should be to live in a barn with no food , water or any amendments. I wish they'd rot in prison for this heinous act. Again thank you all for your time and your loving hearts.
Cat Man Chris ~ Wonderful work, sir, you truly are a Su-purr hero!!! It's hard to understand how this happens so often. I wonder if people start with good intentions and just become overwhelmed. Then I see they have been breeding dogs and my heart sinks... It's quite horrifying to know people are just that cruel. Thank you for being an example to others of how we can help the stray and feral population! You're pawsome! 🐾 Btw, when I was watching the video, my black and white kitty came over to me when he heard the kittens crying and began rubbing my leg and softly meowing. I thought he was trying to tell me, "no more kittens, mama", but when I looked at his eyes he seemed like he was sad for the babies. It's amazing the compassion animals can have for one another! I pray we all will be more compassionate to each other and the suffering ones around us today! Thank you, again, and God bless you, Chris! 😽💞
Thank you so much for doing everything you can for all these cats, because you care, wanted, can help and know how to help. I wouldn’t be able to do any of this because, I’m not brave, persistent or smart enough, to help. I wish I could help. I wish I could find people like you in my country. I hope everything and everyone will be happy, healthy and have everything they want in their lives. Sincerely, an Indonesian

They are all 3 very fine and happy. Little boy is adapting to his new house and seems to really love it !
Ybliss Good to know
are you going to adopt them or find a no kill rescue to take them and find them homes?
We did adopt them ^^ After all, we were the first humans they encountered, we already loved them and we wanted to adopt anyway !
My cat was rescued from a hoarder, she’s sleeping at my feet right now😂
That's nice :)
Yeah , I bet your giving her a better life .

Does your kitty have any lingering unusual behaviors still and can you share?
I went from having 1 cat to 6. Came home from work and my wife had found 5 kittens abandoned by the mother - she had probably been killed. They were still not even weaned. We took them in and I told my wife that when they were weaned that we would take them to a shelter. After 3 weeks or so, I came home and my wife said, "This is Cristina, this is Max, etc." Everyone knows when cats are named. That was 15 years ago. They own the house now.

Every time I watch these I literally want to go all around the world and save all the cats and kittens in need. But then I realize that some cats are feral and know how to cope in their environment. When I saw the frozen baby kitten it literally made me hug my kittens and say:”YOUR SAFE WITH ME MY FURRY CHILDREN....”
I know!!!!
DON'T CALL ME FURRY THEN I USE AN GREEN RABBIT MASK!
I also want to save all the animal's all over, animals pay hell for what people do to them, its realy sad...but I truly thank the good people we have on GOD'S earth.....
Lily j
I have 5 furry children:3
not just the cats, also the fish, turtles, dogs, horses, and all the other animals including the ones that can kill you
At least these cats could go outside in the fresh air and hunt. They look a lot better than ones that are trapped in a house with waste-soaked floors and toxic air. Thank you for helping these sweet kitties.
i wouldn't call cats being feral a downside. that's their natural state (except for some overbred races). i would honestly just leave them there. seemed like cat paradise, at least for wild cats.
being feral is a huge down side cause it means they either have to put them down or leave them there to catch those diseases again.cause being feral is not their natural state cause they are a domesticated animal.
also does getting frostbite and diseases really look like a paradise?
no. you kill feral cats on sight.
Pure Mouse no, these cats yes, they may have been born in the wild but they are domestic cats they have adapted to being house hold pets so can’t survive brendon urie themselves

Seeing the frozen kitten made your efforts to remove them hit your feels even harder.
6:32 rest in peace little kitty,may your next life be better than this
😭😭😿😿
I'm so sorry little kitten, I am so sorry that humans did you wrong. I wish the best for you in your next life💙
i once saw a dead kitten in my grandmas house, it was horrible
it was just laying there suffering in cold and sickness...
rip kitten.
There's no next life you delusional moron!
Oh its so sad when kittens pass away. At least the little angel is in heaven.
Yes he is. :) Have you ever heard of this book called "Imagine Heaven"? I haven't read this chapter yet, but the last chapter talks about seeing animals in Heaven. I know that's where this little kitten is now, he's growing up to be a big, healthy, happy cat and loved by God and His angels, and seeing beautiful valleys and trees and big pretty flowers, this book talks a lot about apparently big and beautiful flowers. :)
Eva animals die and become one with the earth . Same with humans . Simple biology
Sadly i am not on religion so i dont trink that ixists
i felt like the kittens somehow knew they were getting saved. also rest in peace little guy❤️❤️
Yea
Thank you thank you thank for saving all those cats and kitten , i cried when i saw the dead on,, that was heartbreaking ... hope they all ok now xx

I hope the law comes down hard on this person. And these beings get the justice they deserve. Blessings to all those who took the time out of their own lives to help other sentient creatures. Xxx
I also hope that, there are more laws that will ensure the people to make sure everyone will think many times, before doing something like this.
Go Tube unfortunately it was probably a fine if anything. There needs to be harsher penalties for animal abuse.
Ana Reyes sorry, i disagree a little bit.
Unfortunately in all likelihood the person behind this suffered from some form of severe mental illness. This is the reality of our society after 30 years of Reagan's Deinstitutionalization policies. Instead of being in mental health facilities getting the help they need, America's severely mentally ill live in squalid conditions getting addicted to drugs or hoarding animals as seen here.
Yonokawa Shena why?
Spaying and neutering is so so crucial. Never knew this as well enough... More homeless kittens /cats, more suffering... :/
Thank you for all that you do..god bless you and your team with all the resources in abundance which you may need everytime, all the time

Poor little cats. How could someone do this to them? Cats need love, affection, food, water, and a proper home. I am so glad y’all came and rescued them. The cats probably are very scared, but you are helping them, and saving their lives. I’m sure that they will all love you with all their heart, and be thanking you, in a cat sort of way.
I bawled my eyes out when i saw the dead kitten. Poor guy. 😭
Holy Jesus... not THIS situation again. I cried with that last video with those 40 abandoned cats/kittens and now I cried for these and for that poor little one dead. This is heartbreaking... :(
Thank you Chris and thanks to all the wonderful people who help you. Seriously, I mean it. Thank you for bringing some hope to these poor creatures life. Thank you for doing this.
FrozenVaIkyrie Sadly I see this all the time on Animal Cops. One time a cat hoarder was keeping dead cats & kittens in a freezer because he wanted to be buried with them. 😱
That's fu***g sick O_O
FrozenVaIkyrie It was disturbing to say the least. Though I think he was mentally ill, not abusive & just needed help. Sadly, animal hoarders are too blind to see the poor condition their animals are in & think they're doing the right thing or they get overwhelmed. Sometimes after getting help they do realise they're better off, both them & the animals.
One of the worst cases of real animal cruelty I've seen was a guy who locked up 2 kittens with no food or water just so he could see how long it would take them to die. Unfortunately, despite the hard work that went into saving them, 1 of them did die, however the other 1 got adopted into a wonderful home.
Señora de Mendoza I know. I just say the situation itself is sad :( Only people who do this shit on purpose are to blame (like the dude with the two kittens you mentioned) mentally ill people can't help it but they need help asap so bad things never happen again. They will be better and the cats will be better too.
I always appreciate that you show the realities of what rescues entail, including the harsh conditions and the fact that not all endings are happy. I know there are other prominent cat channels on UA-cam that refuse to show anything sad, and while I can understand not wanting to ruin anyone's day, it's worth a day being ruined if it means that more people understand why rescues need money and manpower, why neutering and spaying are so important, and an animal's life can be saved.
Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia can lead wonderful lives, as evidenced by the many livestreams of rescue centers that have cats with this condition. FFRC has quite a few cats with varying severities of CH that are super cute and active, if anyone wants to see them.
🙏
Such a happy ending. 😭 but Rest in Peace little kitten.

6:49 poor kitty it made me cry...
He is in a sort of animal heaven. God loves the animal species, mainly that ones near to us in soul and human feelings. Cats, dogs, farm animals, mammals from the wild, even the birds, all of them have souls, animal souls, of course; and the Allmighty have plenty of mercy, generosity and lot of space for them all. Jesus in the Gospels show his compassion for animals. Sorry by my bad english, I'm from Monterrey Mexico and l love the cats so much.
@Katmau
Same
me too, still im crying a bit now. i wish i could've just held him, even though he was gone, and just tell him it was ok, and his suffering was over now
Katmau
One of my kittens dude like dat it was so sad 😞
May you rest easy above where you can play with other animals who are in a good place. May you play endlessly with your friends above with the clouds
Rest in peace baby. I'm sorry we couldn't get you sooner
i can usually handle disturbing imagery, nasty wounds, hordes of fleas, etc. because i know in the end the cats are going to be okay and get to a better home. the stiff kitten, though.. that brought me to tears. rest in peace, little buddy. may whatever afterlife you live be warm and full of milk.
Those poor babies 😞. How long ago was this? Thanks for all of the hard work that you do!
This was in April in Illinois, it was still freezing even at that time of year :(
Cat Man Chris I applaud for the dedication you have, in doing this job. If I were to join this, I would’ve had a breakdown, as soon as I step foot into that property...
they are not poor babies they are wild predators. would you "rescue" a bear from the woods and put him into a cage? as far as i can see those cats were doing pretty good. sure, some have died but that's how nature works. the weak die and the strong breed. they had a house and a barn and lots of land to hunt on. i seriously doubt your intelligence if you think a cat is better off being fed hipster catfood, castrated, declawed and bound than live it's life free in nature, hunting, breeding and surviving as is their natural way of life.
@@wurstkonig3621 i.4pcdn.org/tv/1514110939850.jpg
well, exactly what i thought of you. trying to counter facts with memes.
Thank you for not leaving the kitten behind. Never leave a cat behind
So many scared faces but they are finally In such loving hands bless you all good work
You and all your volunteers are real heroes, tears and more tears of joy,
I think CAM needs 60+ brothers and sisters!😻
I wanted to keep the last grey kitten I rescued, but we were literally driving to Fl in a couple of weeks, too much chaos at that time in our lives without adding another kitten to the mix :)
+Cat Man Chris aww! At least the kitty has a good family! And now CAM have 2 sisters anyway. Also, are you guys in the southern part of Tampa?
Can I ever watch these without crying???
Poor little wobblies. I'm glad you got them out of there.
Rest in peace little kitten. :(
1:18
with that marking this kitty is dubbed: LoveButt
8:10 *Shoves food down his throat* "Hes a good eater!" 😂
Chris, if you have any info on where the CH cats and kittens will be adopted out from, please let us know! I'm in a large group of CH owners and can spread the word. CH kitties are often euthanized due to misconceptions about the condition but they can live happy, healthy lives when adopted to loving families :)
Ok
Thank you so much for this!
The person who owned this property should go to prison and you can't change my mind. 😊
You mean the person who was renting the property, aka, the tenant they mentioned in the beginning of the video? The owner is likely the one who evicted them and alerted these people so that the cats could be rounded up.
Or did I not change your mind?
Yes, the tenant who did this should go to jail and have him/her do tons of community work cleaning up someone else trashed property...
They were all stray/feral. We don't know how they got there.
NoirParvana i feel like you go really offended over something that was a miscommunication lol just thought that was funny
Jail or work of any kind won't deter these kinds of people's behavior. I'd execute the person who did this with my 1911 for free.
What an amazing rescue!
I went to Greece this summer, and what I thought would just be a "laying around on the beach all day" type of vacation turned in to the desperate saving of a 6 weeks old stray kitten. His name is now Ikaros and is waiting in a shelter in Greece before I can get him to his forever home in Sweden in October.
Sara Ericsson there is a lot of strays in Greece. Lots of cats in general. I’ve adopted nearly seven already
I hope you and Ikaros live happily together!
What a sweet story! I hope you and Ikaros are happy and doing well. :)
Very very cruel
Thank you for rescuing them.
God bless you all
Thank you all for rescuing all these beauties! The deserve good homes.
Chris, the work you do with these groups is invaluable and although I was in floods of tears over the kitten you could not save I wanted to thank you for including the clip because it is so important that people see the downside of rescuing. It is a great thing these groups do but also heart-breaking at timez and that is very important to remember.
Love to Cole, Marm and their new sisters xx
You are a very special man, Chris. God Bless You.
I felt so sad when I seen the frozen kitten. This makes me want to rescue a lot of animals before there lives are ended from the colds of the winter, the heat of the summer, and the falls of hunting season.
Have a nice rest of the day
Whenever I think there are monsters that hurt animals on purpose, my faith is restored by people like you and the other groups working hard to rescue them. Good job to everyone who was involved in this mission! Also, can we mention how handsome George looked? :P
Hoarders don't hurt animals on purpose. They want to provide good care to all their animals, but get in over their head. Often they're mentally ill, and there's usually a lot of shame making it harder for them to reach out for help.
my Misha is mentally challenged and blind in one eye. but she loves it when i watch your videos, and she goes nuts every time you feature kittens! she would have been a good mama kitty!
I'm so sorry :( I hope she's doing well.
These cats are very lucky to be rescued. Most abounded in other buildings dies. But bless these people for using the time to find these cats a new home where they can be loved
This was a bit tough to watch, but it shows the nasty reality of hoarding and not getting your pets spayed/neutered! Thank you for helping all of these cats and kittens. 💖
This is so sad, its such a terrible thing for someone to do...
It’s odd to see feral cats so clean, but then again, they spend like, 18 hours liking themselves.
Yeah, feral cats generally aren't dirty. Only if they're long-haired or sick/infirm in some way.
The hissing kitten hiding in the back of the carrier is so terrified it just kills me. He's like frozen pressed up against the crate. But knowing CMC & crew are there to help them , he is in wonderful hands
6:19 Poor, little darling's life hadn't even really begun. 😭
I wonder if the kittens born with that wobbly condition are inbred, given the circumstances I don't imagine there could be any other explanation. 🤔
Thank goodness they're all out of that situation, are fixed & in good homes now. 😄
It's not directly a result of inbreeding, but if the parents have it then there's a chance of it getting passed down to the babies, and if both parents have it, the chance is higher, so inbreeding would certainly result in more babies with the condition.
CH (wobby cat syndrome) occurs when the mother gets the panleukapenia virus while pregnant or when the kitten had head trauma at some point early in their development, it is not a genetic disease but rather a developmental one. It just means that their cerebellum isn't fully developed so they have poor motor control and poor balance - they can live long, healthy, happy lives, even if they do fall over a bit more than your average cat. Although some of the kittens in the video had a head tilt, which is not usually a symptom of CH, so I hope they got checked out by a vet and properly diagnosed.
Miranda Sinnott-Armstrong it _can_ be caused by genetics, but it is more commonly a complication of infection yeah
6:48 I cried! R.I.P. little kitten you will be missed 😞
Yes😔😥
Omg why is that something a person would do to those poor animals 😞 thanks for saving them 😁
She said she wanted to be a rescue.... but letting these animals breed, not getting them vet attention when needed and not being able to provide suitable living conditions = hoarding :(
I agree. Also this person wasn't "thinking" clearly.
Cat Man Chris They have the best of intentions in the beginning, but they eventually get in over their heads. It's really sad for everyone.
Ideally all cats should be in good, loving homes, but compared to this, they'd be better off on the streets.
IF U DIDNT SAVE THOSE C, THEY WOULDVE DIED! I CRIED DURING THIS... GODBLESS YOU!!!!!
All the cats so beautiful

Thanks for your conscientious and heartfelt care and affection for the poor kitties you help...I buy bags of dry food for a lady here in Paducah who works at CVS and feeds the neighborhood kitties... and have found good homes for six I have rescued myself over the years. I have a tiny home and one cat at a time lives with me in my home. I have always loved kitties and got my first pre ious furball at age six, and named her Thomasina from a cat movie I loved as a child. She was a calico and such a good girl.
I would adopt every cat I could today but that isn't the answer . If all of us would do our one small part, the problem would be reduced and kitties would not have to suffer so. No animal, whether horse, dog or cat, deserves being mistreated or thrown out when times get hard or their owners die. God bless the animals who have to try and make it on their own, despite hoarders, life threatening weather, debilitating hunger, fast cars, animal territory fights, etc. May God send his earthly and heavenly angels to watch over them and help whenever and wherever they can.
God bless you and the other thoughtful and caring entities who provide safety, healthcare, love, and the chance of caring, safe and protective homes to these precious forgotten little sweeties.
Bless them all and may they know kindness and caresses after some of the inhumane treatment they have endured. My dad, also a catlover, had three cats, who were sisters and brothers from the same litter, who lived in his big woodworking shop and they all lived long lives, Boots was 25, Smokie was 23, and Speckles died at 22. I grew up with those kitties and they were like part of the family. I might have learned to drive at 16, but the cats weren't allowed to! They are all buried in our pet cemetery and they are remembered by me today. Part of the joy of a happy life and one well led, is a result of the love and compassion we show to others, whether man or beast. Dad's life was sweetened by the companionship of his kitties, and I feel the same about my life with the cats I have adopted and loved. Thanks for letting me reminisce as my cat loving dad has been gone these fourteen years. And again, for all you do, and the other friends who help you, a great big grateful thank you!
im so glad u rescued those cats it makes me happy to see that they are now going to be strong and healthy
Thank you so much !!!
I've had a total of 13-14 cats in my entire life, seeing them living like this makes me sad. Almost every cat I've had was given to me by someone who got hurt or got sick and was unable to take care of them anymore, or was rescued from almost dying.
Yeah, indeed not easy to watch but if you imagine what rescue and adoption means to every single cat and kitten you rescued that is even of higher value and importance given their past life. And I am sure that they will also make a lot of people’s life better and spread joy. Thanks so much for making this world a little better ❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully that dead kitty is in a better place now ;(

I'm reading this book called "Imagine Heaven," and I haven't gotten to this last chapter yet, but it talks about seeing animals in Heaven. That's where this little kitten is now. :) He's growing big and strong and he's happy and healthy and very much alive. He's loved and cared by God and His angels, and roaming rolling valleys and climbing trees and smelling big beautiful flowers, this book likes to talk a lot about apparently wonderful flowers.

I'll never understand how someone could hurt an animal and let them live in such poor conditions. And seeing the kitten who passed away made me cry. I'm so glad these babies are happy and healthy. 💖 Thank You to all you animal rescuers. Without you alot more animals would suffer.
To you and all the team Chris,let me on behalf of all those that you rescued, say thank you from them all..... (Y)
Chris!!! WhAt you and the people in this video did is amazing !! God HAS a special place in heaven for you ALL!!!
When the little baby one died I cried,, to me kittens and cats are like humans that can't talk or look normal. They have all the love to give and they're such distant animals because most of the cats you've adopted possibly lived in a condition like this,, they just don't want to see themselves die like they did with other cats that couldn't make it on the property.

Good work Chris and friends! Its wonderful to see such compassion and kindness.
Heart really hurts to see this😢😢.. that poor little baby.. god bless u guys for working so hard to rescue these sweet little 🐈 🐈... ♥️
This breaks my heart! Thank you all for helping! The situation they were living is terrible and so wrong! The tenants punishment should be to live in a barn with no food , water or any amendments. I wish they'd rot in prison for this heinous act. Again thank you all for your time and your loving hearts.
Cat Man Chris ~ Wonderful work, sir, you truly are a Su-purr hero!!! It's hard to understand how this happens so often. I wonder if people start with good intentions and just become overwhelmed. Then I see they have been breeding dogs and my heart sinks... It's quite horrifying to know people are just that cruel. Thank you for being an example to others of how we can help the stray and feral population! You're pawsome! 🐾 Btw, when I was watching the video, my black and white kitty came over to me when he heard the kittens crying and began rubbing my leg and softly meowing. I thought he was trying to tell me, "no more kittens, mama", but when I looked at his eyes he seemed like he was sad for the babies. It's amazing the compassion animals can have for one another! I pray we all will be more compassionate to each other and the suffering ones around us today! Thank you, again, and God bless you, Chris! 😽💞
These guys are amazing, not only they are saving cat/kitten's life. They are also raising awareness for people to help the cat/kitten community.
Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you so much for doing everything you can for all these cats, because you care, wanted, can help and know how to help.
I wouldn’t be able to do any of this because, I’m not brave, persistent or smart enough, to help.
I wish I could help. I wish I could find people like you in my country. I hope everything and everyone will be happy, healthy and have everything they want in their lives.
