You guys are great just keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t worry about the armchair warriors, always over opinionated, generally unhappy and underwhelming.
I am so sorry that people have to be mean and try to belittle the kind work you are doing in rescuing and trying to rehome these little lives so that they can be safe and loved. Please don't ever stop. If people want to label you as crazy cat lady or someone with a mental illness, wear that badge with pride. You are doing the right thing and F*ck everyone else. Perhaps one of your outbuildings would serve nicely as a feline rescue. You may not have picked this path but perhaps the "path" picked you. We need more people like you in the world. 🧡
Only a really bad person could find fault with someone rescuing animals. Ignore them. They don't deserve one second of your attention. I had a black cat for many years - norton was her name. She was not evil. I loved her. Wish I could have another black kitten but alas, cannot.
Oh, that’s probably someone listening to Vance and the orange one and just extending it to anyone who loves cats. Ridiculously jealous and ignorant who can’t think for themselves in a reasonable, educated and decent manner. They are to be treated with the contempt they deserve and ignored completely.
I'm sorry you had such rude comments about your cats. You, in actual fact, are a very compassionate person who has the ability to help stray animals and simply does so.
If I were younger, I wouldn't mind being called a crazy cat lady, in fact I was. But being old means one of us might out live the other & I would hate to leave someone having to be responsible for what I'd started! Also I'd hate for them to wonder why I don't come home to them😢!!! I've seen thet first hand & it's heart breaking😢!!!
Amanda and Lincoln, kudos to the pair of you for caring for these cats, and whatever animals you come by. Sad for those people. Love your French drains…and love your grounds, so pretty! Thanks for sharing
People say it's a mental illness to rescue unwanted cats, is cruel. People liked that, show no compassion or empathy. Thank you for rescuing the kittens. The quality of life of cats living in homes is a crapshoot; live in kindness or cruelty. Amanda, you show empathy, kindness, and compassion, nothing wrong with that. Plus your senses of humor😊❤
You have the best music. And your gravel/trench work is not boring. It feels like a triumph to preserve beautiful stone work and architecture. And yay for feline rescue! Our family and extended family up to the eyeballs with cats. 👍
They are SO cute and, having had black cats all my life, I think it's horrid people would ever hold a kitty's color against it!!😡 You are both saints for taking in these babies- all our cats are rescued from the mean streets and completely indoors now. If we could make it to France we'd snag them all but, sadly, a Trans - Atlantic trip isn't in the cards. I pray the right home comes along for all of them.🙏❤️
I think you’re both so amazing, your love of animals is so special. The cats, the dogs and the donkeys makes your You Tube my favorite when it comes to Chateaus. Don’t change a thing!
I follow a cat rescuer on YT who rescues cats from the streets of England. Her channel is Tiffany Dodd. Y'all are kindred spirits. Perhaps you can reach out to her and get some tips on how she is able to find adoptive cat parents nearby. If I had the funds to fly to France and adopt one of the sweet babies, I sure would. I hope you find wonderful homes for them all. Thank you for taking the time to rescue these feline angels.
My neighbour had a black cat who became a great pal to me, and I was heartbroken when she died after 13 years. I have since been 'adopted' by a stray black and white stray.
Amanda and Lincoln, you have the biggest hearts for animals in all of France!! What an amazing job you are doing with these sweet babies making them acclimated to people, teaching them to play rather than be afraid.. KUDOS!! please everyone, if you can, donate to their Go Fund Me for cats and kitty rescues!!
I actually enjoy watching the important work that keeps the château running smoothly. I also enjoy any type of renovation that brings back the coziness of the heart of the home. I love your home, thanks for sharing❤❤❤
Maybe convert one of the buildings to a rescue /fostering housing? You seem to be heading in that direction. I am impressed with your dedication to help. Your fur family is lovely.
At this moment I have two black kittens plus three ginger kittens trying to take over my bed. My daughter and I foster kittens. We have 7 at this time plus 4 foster fails of our own. I am seventy nine and I don’t remember a day in my life that I have never had cats. Keep up the great job you are doing, their life counts too. People who make nasty comments like that are probably the very people who would dump an animal and think nothing of it. The animal world need more people like you and your lovely husband. God bless 🙋♀️🥂
Oh dear I’m so sorry you were the recipient of nasty comments. I will never understand why people do such things. You are saving these beautiful living animals and giving them a great life. I love the food markets in France and love when you take us along. Very different from the States. French drains really work and will save those beautiful buildings. ❤
We too were so disappointed with the negative attention of some shallow morons. What you are undertaking to help those kittens is wonderful and endearing. Good for you both and thank you! Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing!
Yall are both such animal Loving people , anyone making rude comments about you being a Cat Lady , just ignore , apparently they do not have the Kind Good Heart Like You . If I lived closer I would take one of the black cats or 2 , I love animals . Thanks for being kind and feeding and tending to all these stray cats . God Bless .
You two are so delightful! I love the humor and look forward to these videos. If one is able and willing to rescue/foster any animals, more power to them. Any waters be damned!
Love your vlog! I can’t wait until each episode comes out! I live in the southernmost tip of Illinois God’s Country” near Kentucky. Your Chateau is so beautiful, the results of your talents! I living watching you both! So very intriguing with all of your skills, decorating sense and ideas. You are both are such a hard working couple that I bet you fall in bed each night. Your property is so beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. I have always dreamed of moving to France but I am now 71 and my husband is not in the best health cognitively. I guess I can dream through your videos. Life has a way of flying by when you are busy career people and when you finally stop and notice, you realize so much time has elapsed. Enjoy your lives and don’t ever look back. I applaud you both for being brave and exposing your children to the “wonders of other countries!” ❤
I love how you care for and rescue stray cats and kittens. It shows your nurturing and kind nature. I am saddened to hear that people think it is okay to pass their own judgment and negativity onto you and your kindness. Try not to let them bother you. Cat people are the best kind of people. And dog people etc. 🤞🏼you can find homes for Sage and her sweet litter. Signed a mother of three humans who are all cat parents, as am I. Rescued animals are the best animals. ❤️
Your compassion & concern for all these homeless kitties is amazing!! OMG, they are so precious!! Honestly, if I had my chateau (been looking), I would take all 5 cats. I'm partial to the black kitties. The losers who insulted you are people without compassion and I feel are people no one needs in their miserable "keyboard" lives.
Thank you for caring for and about these kitties. You are to be commended. I wish I could have another one! If you figure out how many cats per square foot you are easily in the safe zone…not to mention outbuildings. You will never suffer a rodent problem. In my experience black cats are sweet and loving, mellow…and beautiful. Someone will be blessed to add them to their family.😊
Darling I’m so sorry people are mean to you, please do not let this to bother you, you are amazing people who works very hard and saving!!! Animals , savings cats, little kittens . How wonderful that is!! ❤️🙏🤗🌹🌞 you are so sweet so sweet…..lots of love from New York Petra ….people, always will be mean I learnt this through out my life, I’m 56 so no worries just do what you do and live the way you do!!
We can judge the heart (soul) of a person by how they treat the most vulnerable, those who can give nothing back to us other than their gratitude and love.
I'd rather be a "crazy cat lady" than some dismal on line troll. We are currently at 6 cats and 2 dogs but at one point we had 9 cats. They get dumped around here and I cannot be so heartless as to not help them. Inside only! Much to the dismay of a few. 😊
I am so grateful that there are people, like the two of you, who are so loving and caring towards animals that people just discard like a pair of worn out shoes. Shame on them. And, shame on the unhappy people who feel that they need to belittle those who do care. My rescue cat, Percy, has been a life saver for this old widow for the last seven years.and he is an indoor cat!
Whoever acquires these kittens and mother cat will be lucky people. Anyone who does not appreciate what you two do for these animals has a heart of stone and an ugly soul! Love your videos,you two are the best!
What a daunting task! Thank goodness Lincoln has help. Beautiful drone shots! Nice job on getting Pickle to do quality control on the cat toy. I hope it was up to standards. Good luck on getting the kittens adopted! You've done a great job with them and keep doing what you're doing. Ignore the bothersome comments. Thanks for the trip to the store. it certainly has a Whole Foods vibe to it.
I hope these beautiful kittens and their mother get wonderful homes. The care that you have given them to make sure they are healthy is extraordinary. One of the reasons I love your channel is because you are both so kind and considerate about the welfare of all animals . Your beautiful home in the French countryside that you share is such a pleasure to watch. I wouldn’t even give the negative comments you mentioned a response. If there were more people in this world that were as kind and compassionate as you and Lincoln how nice that would be. Two weeks ago I was driving to a flower farm ( I’m a floral designer) I saw in the grass on a major road a black kitten. I pulled over, I approached her carefully because I didn’t want her to runaway and I’m allergic to cats. The traffic was whizzing by and I thought I was at risk and could hear my family in my ear “ mom are you crazy “? I scooped her up wrapped her in my jacket to calm her. The flower farmers sister was happy to take her. They are kind people. The kitten immediately fell asleep in her arms. She took it to the vet. It could not move its back legs. There were other things wrong. The vet felt it was thrown from a car. I was heartbroken when my farmer friend messaged me. So when I see good people such as yourself verses the individual that treated this innocent kitten like they did I am grateful. Keep being who you are.🙏🏻🕊️
My daughter was telling me a few weeks back that black cats 🐈⬛ and dogs 🐕 are very hard to adopt out, I was shocked to find that out . I've had many beautiful black cats and am not sure how people can act that way towards innocent critters. There are many more of us out here who love and respect how you help these cats, I had four cats at one time and 3 were brother and sister who lived to be 18 and 19 years old. I rescued them from a bag on the side of a country road and only noticed them because momma had chewed a hole and had her head poking out of it. Nine in all with mom, the local shelter in Rochester Minnesota helped me adopt out mom and the rest of the kittens all in pairs. 😊 Keep up the good work with the property and the animals. Love your videos and kindness.
Have you seen the channel “The Moons”. They are another family in France, rescuing and caring for retired athlete horses, plus a whole menagerie too! The world needs more loving and caring people like you all. ❤
I love your channel, never miss a thing. Not sure why, but this is one of my top 3 favorite videos of ever of yours. (I dig a good French drain chore!) Btw…I have two pitty mixes…both rescued very young here in Virginia. I’m not a cat guy, but I think you’re both saints for what you do.
We adopted a black cat named Stella. She is both a character and a delight and follows us everywhere, apart from leaving the section 😎. Superstitions only work if you believe in them. Love your channel. The negative types aren’t your people.
Water problems! I totally hear you. Our dam which is roughly 10m away from our house floods 3 times a year with the spring rains. Or at least it used to, until my husband began a thorough program of French drains all over the blooming place on our 6 acres taking the water this way and that way, (mostly away from the house and the main two driveways). 18yrs later, we are lucky if it over floods once a year, YAY. Previously we literally needed a boat to get out! Once your drains are done, you won't know yourself.
Digging and preparing for a French drain while discovering a subterranean wall, not boring at all. Living on your property must be akin to living on a mountain of mysteries and discoveries yet to be found. Way cool, or as we say here in the Central Valley, cool beans! Thank you for another interesting episode.
I love your channel and the restoration work you are doing on your chateau. Normally, I don't add comments, but i have to say that you are wonderful people for rescuing stray cats!!. It is understandable you have reached your limit on keeping the kittens and mother cat since you already have a house full. It is heartbreaking to see any animal without a home. I am praying someone will adopt them all soon and give them a safe, loving home. Good luck and please let us know when they are all adopted!!
Love all your videos. We had French drains installed on both sides of our back yard last year. Money well spent. It was always a soggy muddy mess walking through our sides gates.
The fact that you have set a limit as to number of cats you can have shows that you are not a hoarder or crazy. I really hope you find good indoor homes for these kitties!
Mrs Rosevelt once said other people’s opinions are none of my business, caring about animals is a loving thing, with many rewards, they provide unconditional love and that’s a good thing. No response is a “response” take care
I am so sorry about the rude comment someone made. I too feed feral cats here in South Carolina. Most people stop and thank me and offer cat food or money. I admire you for what you do. You are clearly a kind, loving and generous person.
Amanda and Lincoln a French drain is not boring. Any improvement to your property I’m interested no matter the project size. From one cat lover to another, there’s nothing wrong with having cats, loving cats, wanting to take care of cats. I always enjoy whatever updates or whatever animal that you’re helping out at that point in time. Please ignore these people negative ways that add nothing positive to life, but bringing people down with their negative comments. The kitties are so sweet and there’s nothing wrong with the black kitty. They all need love❤ Thank you for all you hard work. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for saving these kitties from horrible suffering. Each life matters, and your spaying stops more unwanted babies. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo, to you both! Kindness is always my first rule of thumb. Bless you both As far as those awful negative comments, well we don’t like people who don’t like animals!, I like animals WAY more than most people ❤
Big job well done laying those drains Lincoln! Your friend and digger have proven invaluable. Hope it makes a huge difference in controlling the damp. I wish you could block people who leave nasty comments. I hope it’s not too demoralizing Amanda, when you are doing such a great job in saving these cats’ lives. Keep up the good work!
The French drain was much needed. You will notice the difference. You are not a crazy cat lady nor do have a mental illness. Some people don't think before they talk. You are just a rescuer. You are doing great at it, too. ❤
I have my own mini black panther rescue as well. They all have wandered into my yard but are very much mine now. Don’t let any negativity posted here get to you. We all have a purpose in life. Our just happens to be rescuing cats.
So kind of you to take care of the mama cat and kittens. I think the drainage system will make a big difference for your cottages. Love your senses of humor and the banter between you. ❤
My husband and I watch your videos and are always so happy to see your willingness to help the cats and creatures in your area. Don't listen to idiots. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for helping those who can't help themselves. You are golden.
Amanda, you and Lincoln have a big heart! NOTHING wrong with that! Shame on anyone who labels you as a cat lady or turning into a cat lady! Living in rural Wisconsin, 98 % of our pets have been dumped rescues and they were and are blessing giving us unconditional love. We too have them all fixed, shots and keep them indoors. Neither of you have anything to defend. There is a saying: if you understand, not explanation is necessary, and if you don’t understand, no explanation will suffice! I do believe that says it all! Keep up the good work! Love you both! Krystyna
As a consumer of UA-cam, that frequently involves people living in château, I have observed that DIY is a frequent content area. I agree it is not the most interesting thing in the world. It is kind of like watching paint dry. However, it does give you the flavor of the reality of living in the countryside in a large home. I am grateful that at 81 years of age I don’t sweat equity. Actually I never did because I did not have the interest or the skill set. I worked extra hours and paid others who were more skilled. It was a good exchange further it led to more domestic harmony as my wife, couldn’t criticize the quality of my work
You are kind people who care about the welfare of animals. The world could use more people like you! Ignore the haters and re-read all the praise you get from your fans when the need arises!
I find even French drains interesting to watch as you manage your fabulous property. And I love black cats! We hv two siblings we rescued (went for one and came home with double trouble Bonnie and Clyde tho vet had named them Sid Viscious and Cyndi Lauper. We found out once home why Sid!! But he’s now quite cuddly after 10 years, just don’t hold him beyond his first seconds of wriggling!!). Good luck rehoming them all.

You guys are great just keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t worry about the armchair warriors, always over opinionated, generally unhappy and underwhelming.
You are kind and compassionate. The world needs more people like you. Animals need all the help and love they can get.
I am so sorry that people have to be mean and try to belittle the kind work you are doing in rescuing and trying to rehome these little lives so that they can be safe and loved. Please don't ever stop. If people want to label you as crazy cat lady or someone with a mental illness, wear that badge with pride. You are doing the right thing and F*ck everyone else.

❤️❤️❤️
Oh, that’s probably someone listening to Vance and the orange one and just extending it to anyone who loves cats. Ridiculously jealous and ignorant who can’t think for themselves in a reasonable, educated and decent manner. They are to be treated with the contempt they deserve and ignored completely.
Here, here.
I prefer animals over most people these days! God bless you for all you do for the homeless pet population!
Nothing wrong with caring for animals and trying to save them! Never ever feel bad about that no matter what anyone says! We love you for it!
Bless you for taking such good care of these kittens and their Mother. Hope you find loving homes for them.
Aren't crazy cat ladies more preferable than online trolls who leave unkind comments for no reason?
Absolutely.
I'm a crazy cat lady, and I wear that title with pride .
Shame on those people who made awful comments. They must have very sad, miserable lives.
I'm sorry you had such rude comments about your cats. You, in actual fact, are a very compassionate person who has the ability to help stray animals and simply does so.
People are so cruel with their ignorant comments. From one "crazy cat lady" thank you for caring and trying to give these cats a better life.
Crazy Cat Ladies and Crazy Chicken Ladies are the best people on this planet :)
Cat people are the best. People can be mean😢
If I were younger, I wouldn't mind being called a crazy cat lady, in fact I was. But being old means one of us might out live the other & I would hate to leave someone having to be responsible for what I'd started! Also I'd hate for them to wonder why I don't come home to them😢!!! I've seen thet first hand & it's heart breaking😢!!!
I have seven rescue cats. All fixed, living their best lives.
You are much loved and appreciated!! Thanks for helping out the kitties!! Love the sarcastic wit and watching y’all renovate!! Cheers from PA!
How rude that people were being mean about you trying to help the kittens and the mama!! Ignore them! Keep being you! We got your back! ❤
Thanks for caring for all the cats and kittens. ❤
I love you, you wonderful crazy Cat Lady❤‼️
Lincoln showing up wearing his beret and holding a baguette made my day! LOl.
I watch EVERY sponsor portion of their vids. They’re so entertaining😂
We love your channel, and we particularly love how great you are to the animals. We love those black kittens.
Amanda and Lincoln, kudos to the pair of you for caring for these cats, and whatever animals you come by. Sad for those people. Love your French drains…and love your grounds, so pretty! Thanks for sharing

OMG those cats are so cute! I’ve had black cats plus others for the last 50 years. I think you both are so kind.
How about kind cat people ❤ you have done an incredible job advocating for these sweet animals.
Thank you for showing how a French drain is constructed. It's important to property management. Water can cause such damage.
Maybe convert one of the buildings to a rescue /fostering housing? You seem to be heading in that direction. I am impressed with your dedication to help. Your fur family is lovely.
I’ll come be the foster mom if you do! 🎉
Black Cats are wonderful! You Guys are great caring for these Cats!!
At this moment I have two black kittens plus three ginger kittens trying to take over my bed. My daughter and I foster kittens. We have 7 at this time plus 4 foster fails of our own.

If I lived closer I would take one of the black cats or 2 , I love animals . Thanks for being kind and feeding and tending to all these stray cats . God Bless .
What a positive spin on “ you only have to do it once, “ I’d still be in shock over the cost.
You two are so delightful! I love the humor and look forward to these videos. If one is able and willing to rescue/foster any animals, more power to them. Any waters be damned!
A pox on anyone who said something unkind to you. You have big kind hearts and are simply trying to help. Carry on bravely.

Nice job on getting Pickle to do quality control on the cat toy. I hope it was up to standards. Good luck on getting the kittens adopted! You've done a great job with them and keep doing what you're doing. Ignore the bothersome comments.

Nine in all with mom, the local shelter in Rochester Minnesota helped me adopt out mom and the rest of the kittens all in pairs. 😊 Keep up the good work with the property and the animals. Love your videos and kindness.
It's your loving giving nature...some people can't cope with that. Those kittens are Gorgeous 😍 good luck with finding Their homes.
Have you seen the channel “The Moons”. They are another family in France, rescuing and caring for retired athlete horses, plus a whole menagerie too! The world needs more loving and caring people like you all. ❤
Love the Moons ❤
I love your channel, never miss a thing. Not sure why, but this is one of my top 3 favorite videos of ever of yours. (I dig a good French drain chore!)
Btw…I have two pitty mixes…both rescued very young here in Virginia. I’m not a cat guy, but I think you’re both saints for what you do.
Keep up the good work, don't worry about the gronks. We l9ve ya
We adopted a black cat named Stella. She is both a character and a delight and follows us everywhere, apart from leaving the section 😎. Superstitions only work if you believe in them. Love your channel. The negative types aren’t your people.
Of your a crazy cat lady then so am I, cat people are the best ❤ thank you for rescuing momma cat and her kittens , love your channel ❤️
Water problems! I totally hear you. Our dam which is roughly 10m away from our house floods 3 times a year with the spring rains. Or at least it used to, until my husband began a thorough program of French drains all over the blooming place on our 6 acres taking the water this way and that way, (mostly away from the house and the main two driveways). 18yrs later, we are lucky if it over floods once a year, YAY. Previously we literally needed a boat to get out! Once your drains are done, you won't know yourself.
P.S. Nice to see Lincoln with a helper ... ☺️
Digging and preparing for a French drain while discovering a subterranean wall, not boring at all. Living on your property must be akin to living on a mountain of mysteries and discoveries yet to be found. Way cool, or as we say here in the Central Valley, cool beans! Thank you for another interesting episode.
I love your channel and the restoration work you are doing on your chateau. Normally, I don't add comments, but i have to say that you are wonderful people for rescuing stray cats!!.
It is understandable you have reached your limit on keeping the kittens and mother cat since you already have a house full. It is heartbreaking to see any animal without a home. I am praying someone will adopt them all soon and give them a safe, loving home. Good luck and please let us know when they are all adopted!!
Bless you two for taking care of these beautiful kitties, looks like they took over your new bathroom. I guess it's back to the outhouse for you! lol
Love all your videos. We had French drains installed on both sides of our back yard last year. Money well spent. It was always a soggy muddy mess walking through our sides gates.
The fact that you have set a limit as to number of cats you can have shows that you are not a hoarder or crazy. I really hope you find good indoor homes for these kitties!
The kittens are adorable.
Mrs Rosevelt once said other people’s opinions are none of my business, caring about animals is a loving thing, with many rewards, they provide unconditional love and that’s a good thing. No response is a “response” take care
Those kitties. 😻
You have the best hearts! I hope the cats all find loving homes. Well done you! As always, love your videos
🗼~ Loved the backstory on "French drains" - I had obviously & inaccurately thought they were from France ... 🤔 (☺️)!
I am so sorry about the rude comment someone made. I too feed feral cats here in South Carolina. Most people stop and thank me and offer cat food or money. I admire you for what you do. You are clearly a kind, loving and generous person.
I do hope kind people are looking to adopt the kittens. They are beautiful & need forever homes ❤
We have a black bobbed tail named Nubbs and our oldest son just adopted 2 black kittens. I love them!
Amanda and Lincoln a French drain is not boring. Any improvement to your property I’m interested no matter the project size.
From one cat lover to another, there’s nothing wrong with having cats, loving cats, wanting to take care of cats. I always enjoy whatever updates or whatever animal that you’re helping out at that point in time.
Please ignore these people negative ways that add nothing positive to life, but bringing people down with their negative comments.
The kitties are so sweet and there’s nothing wrong with the black kitty. They all need love❤
Thank you for all you hard work. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for saving these kitties from horrible suffering. Each life matters, and your spaying stops more unwanted babies.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo, to you both! Kindness is always my first rule of thumb. Bless you both
As far as those awful negative comments, well we don’t like people who don’t like animals!,
I like animals WAY more than most people ❤
Big job well done laying those drains Lincoln! Your friend and digger have proven invaluable. Hope it makes a huge difference in controlling the damp. I wish you could block people who leave nasty comments. I hope it’s not too demoralizing Amanda, when you are doing such a great job in saving these cats’ lives. Keep up the good work!
The French drain was much needed. You will notice the difference.
You are not a crazy cat lady nor do have a mental illness. Some people don't think before they talk. You are just a rescuer. You are doing great at it, too. ❤
I have my own mini black panther rescue as well. They all have wandered into my yard but are very much mine now. Don’t let any negativity posted here get to you. We all have a purpose in life. Our just happens to be rescuing cats.
So kind of you to take care of the mama cat and kittens. I think the drainage system will make a big difference for your cottages. Love your senses of humor and the banter between you. ❤
Kudos for your love and care of all of your animals not just cat and kittens
My husband and I watch your videos and are always so happy to see your willingness to help the cats and creatures in your area. Don't listen to idiots. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for helping those who can't help themselves. You are golden.
Amanda, you and Lincoln have a big heart! NOTHING wrong with that! Shame on anyone who labels you as a cat lady or turning into a cat lady! Living in rural Wisconsin, 98 % of our pets have been dumped rescues and they were and are blessing giving us unconditional love. We too have them all fixed, shots and keep them indoors. Neither of you have anything to defend. There is a saying: if you understand, not explanation is necessary, and if you don’t understand, no explanation will suffice! I do believe that says it all! Keep up the good work! Love you both! Krystyna
I'm not a cat lover but appreciate your caring for these little ones. You have a kind heart.
I’m so sorry people saw awful things. God bless your efforts. ❤
You guys are beautiful! Thanks for caring so much about animals.
As a consumer of UA-cam, that frequently involves people living in château, I have observed that DIY is a frequent content area. I agree it is not the most interesting thing in the world. It is kind of like watching paint dry. However, it does give you the flavor of the reality of living in the countryside in a large home. I am grateful that at 81 years of age I don’t sweat equity. Actually I never did because I did not have the interest or the skill set. I worked extra hours and paid others who were more skilled. It was a good exchange further it led to more domestic harmony as my wife, couldn’t criticize the quality of my work
You are kind people who care about the welfare of animals. The world could use more people like you! Ignore the haters and re-read all the praise you get from your fans when the need arises!
I find even French drains interesting to watch as you manage your fabulous property. And I love black cats! We hv two siblings we rescued (went for one and came home with double trouble Bonnie and Clyde tho vet had named them Sid Viscious and Cyndi Lauper. We found out once home why Sid!! But he’s now quite cuddly after 10 years, just don’t hold him beyond his first seconds of wriggling!!). Good luck rehoming them all.
