Well if you have a landlord and you're a renter, then that counts as you being the adult aged kid and the homeowner to be the adult parent(s) which may not fare to well 😅
That’s a common quote though. I’m only saying this in reply to your last comment saying it was your teacher who said it. Just wanted to say that they didn’t create it.
I've had several animals in my lifetime exactly because they chose me, which is such a sweet thing and makes you feel an even closer bond to your animals.
Many people in her position would have said, "I already have cats. I can't do this." She did what she was driven by her heart to do but what seemed obvious to her wouldn't have been to everyone. There was a pregnant stray outside my mother's house and she would meow all night long, begging for shelter. My mother was just angry that she had to feel guilty about ignoring her. She even fed her once and then was so upset that she wouldn't leave. It was heartbreaking. I was homeless and only visiting. I couldn't even get anyone to take her to the Humane Society. :( I don't know how people can turn their backs on an animal when they are lucky to have the honor of helping them! I'm glad Charm's story turned out happily ever after.
I ain't gonna lie, I'm so jealous of the the new owner. lol. I wish something like that would happen for me, again! That feeling of when a stray kitten in trouble instantly attaches itself to you is one of the best feelings ever. I like that kitten would not leave that woman's side. That woman must be a great person for that to happen to her.
Why just sit there and wish it to happen? Silly. You can literally save a cat or kittens life by adopting one from a shelter/pound. Millions of them are being killed every single day because no one comes for them, and the shelter has to make room for the next bunch of homeless cats that no one will come for. They are all just as needy and deserving of life and many are cats that were strays like this one given up to animal control.
“Call it fate, call it karma but I believe everything happens for a reason.” I found my little girl like that on a cold winter day. I saw the most tiny creature run under a car, I don’t usually stop as there are always house cats, or skunks or squirrels running about but something compelled me to stop my car and get out that day. As I approached the vehicle, a tiny malnourished kitten with eyes shut due to infection crawled and slowly approached me meowing. I extended my hands expecting it to back away like most feral/wild cats I encounter, instead it crawled into my hands and say there. As if to say, please I need help. I picked her up ran back into my car. I drove her to the 24 hour emergency vet. The vet told me it was a roll of the dice I can pay to clean her up and give her medics and the shots she needed but she was probably not going to survive. On top of that the bill would be 2400$… I’m not rich man, but something inside me said “your the only chance she’s got” and I gave the vet the ok. Fast forward, it’s been 4 years. She is the love of my life, my greatest friend and companion. I can’t imagine a life with my baby Ripley.

Cassie: “She comes running out to me” Kitten: “Human water bearer, food server, and bath giver... where hast thou been all this time and what tooketh you so long?!”
That's what I said 6 years ago after putting our last cat down. We moved to a home with feral cats in the neighborhood. 7 catstotal and I clean litter boxes. I just love them all
@@macaroniislekker2229 good for you for accepting the responsibility. You might not be able to imagine living without her- but she literally would probably not be living at all without you!
@@kennethcolbert2921 I had a cat that made it to almost 23, but I gave her sub q fluids for 4 years so we cheated death a bit (kidney disease). But, Wow...25 is amazing!!! I know you must still miss her. My last cat passed last month and it's been very sad/ hard.
! When I saw the cat run out from the bushes I knew I wanted her. Those eyes matched up with her golden/black fur and lil white socks. Gorgeous lil spunky cat. So happy for her she got a new home.
Match made in heaven. My eyes are bawling. Had to put my best friend to sleep because of final stage of kidney cancer. It was slightly over 6 months ago and the pain is still there. I miss her so much. Perhaps one day another kitty will come.
I don't think Charm gave her much of a choice in the matter. lol She just came running from the bushes and said "LOVE ME, Hooman." and that was that. lol
@Ic N Absolutely. Actually, I have seen this happen first-hand....when a kitten just comes bounding up to you out of nowhere. Our cat Panther did this exact same thing. It was snowing and very cold and she just came bounding up to my Mom and jumped up in her arms. She was still a baby, so we kept her.
that's probably true. i had a cat like that 'fearless' of the other animals. he turned out to be the boss. the others didn't even stand a chance :P he was like my soulmate. hes gone now :( its ok though. hard but ok. nothing lasts forever.
She was a completely different cat the second day? Well of course, full stomach, no more fleas biting her, a good night’s rest, and she found her new servant!
Some cats just turn different in a week, I still have some scars from one case of a cat that never stopped scratching who came close but I still hung out in the room and pet the other cat of the same breed and eventually after the cats she was brought with were adopted out shy became from scared to motherly to the other cats we bring into that room and now she’s just a happy furball who loves me and my mom
It's always neat to see when cats choose their people. Our cat, Fuego, showed up at our front door on the morning of the first day of the Covid lockdown in our area. She was super skinny and my wife asked if we could feed her. I didn't want a cat, and I knew where this was heading, but... you don't just shut your door in the face of a starving animal. She scarfed down the can of tuna and, the moment the plate was empty, she lifted her head and walked straight in our still-open front door. I bought her food & a litter box that day during my lunch break and the rest is history.
So heartbreaking the way she followed her everywhere like “please don’t leave me nice lady...I’m starving, thirsty, scared, and alone”. 😢 Thank God she saved her. What a happy ending!
This makes me wonder what would happen if a kitten meowed at a Borg drone. I'm not sure but I think the result would include the Borg Queen being very upset.
You and we all can be one such person instead ! So instead of thinking there are some good people we can be one among them.💙 And can finally fall asleep peacefully.
Yeah cats dont really do that. Im not sure where you've seen these plenty of videos, and Im not saying that NO cats do that, but for the most part cats dont respond in that fashion to going near their food. Cats tend to be fairly tolerant of others near their food as they normally share the same food areas and food sources as babies amd young kittens.
I believe that too. I know my poodle definitely picked me & never wanted to be with anyone but me. He never really made friends with my family or my friends, I think he just tolerated them. I’ve never had a pet as loyal as this poodle.
Completely true. When I went to look at this cat needing a home I really didn't expect to take her. An hour later she was asleep on my bed. She actually rode the whole 20 mins home in my lap which blew my mind. She turned out to be pregnant and I think that's when I understood why she *wanted* me to take her. She was ignored and the previous owner didn't like her. She just wanted someone she could trust because her instincts told her she needed a safe place. I'm thankful every day! It's been a hard journey, because her kittens were premature but I don't regret it and just hope I have lived up to her expectations. The mistake people make is when they think they can expect their pets to be what they want them to. They are the ones who get to demand you be what they need, not vice versa.
Back in December of 2021 I had stopped at a Texaco near my house. It was cold and was lightly raining. From out of nowhere a tiny ball of fur about the same size of this cat comes running up to me. I am not a cat person, but there was no way I was going to leave this little Tabby out in the cold rain. When I got home I was trying to think of what shelter to take her to. Today is July 9th 2022. And as I sit in bed typing this, she is laying next to me. She won me over and changed my mind on cats. She wakes me up every morning with a gentle biting of my nose and then proceeds to kiss it. I would truly have missed out if I had taken her to a shelter.
Thank you for sharing this. My Diva nips at my nose to relax. She started as a kitten and never grew out of it. I ended up homeless, so I cannot take care of her. I hope to get back on my feet and see her again. She's older and it'll break my heart if I never see her again...
@@nhihihi5 Lol .. I now have 5 inside cats of my own, feed 5 cats outside my house, that use to stay at my neighbor's and go feed 2 other colonies of feral cats everyday. I never wanted any more pets, even though I love animals, but here I am. So obviously animals keep appearing in our lives for a reason. It's meant to be.
Nooo,no no no....we can't have more of that. Ppl have already begun calling me the old cat lady. Before you know it I'll be channeling The Simpsons character, screaming hysterically and throwing my babies at random ppl I don't like.

You may not have needed another cat but she needed a mom and she decided you were perfect! When cats pick you there's no point resisting, and it's an honor. Best of luck to you and Charm ♥️
This story reminds me so much of when I found my black cat pumpkin. She was over a month old and left on the side of the road. When I walked up to her she let out a big cry and jumped into my arms. I knew she was mine instantly. Now she’s turning five in July!
Yes my cat Wakasasha who is a one-eye-damaged Seal Point Siamese/Calico lost her sister (who saw for both of them ..) to adoption the day before we got her; it is so cruel to adopt only ONE of a bonded pair and to leave the disabled one alone is doubly cruel! However my husband got her for me the day after my dad died and the minute they put her in my arms she and I both knew she was mine. She was so depressed though from losing her sister that she'd wrap herself in the bathroom shower curtain and stay there. So hubby got her a kitten of her own and when that kitty grew up she remained playful and Waka couldn't keep up with her bad eye so we got her a kitten too and now we are a happy 3 cat family. So in our personal family language Waka means 'Remember' and Sasha was her sister's name. LOVE
Many years ago, a friend told me she had a litter of kittens to rehome, did I want one. When I got out of my car I never got to see the litter because one saw me. It immediately ran to me, from at least thirty feet away, mewing the whole way. I had a new kitten, and she stayed loyal to me.
Kitty: "Hello! I might come live with you. What do you have to offer?" Lady: "I have a frisbee that I'll put water in so you can drink" Kitty: "ok, I'm in🐱"
I can relate 100%. My boyfriend's cat had kittens and his family couldn't keep them all, so he offered me a cat. I didn't know which one to choose at first. but one little gray, striped cat kept coming over to me and would not leave me alone. Four years later, Silver does the same thing.
Yeah, one of my cats was rescued by my dad from another, meaner cat. My cat kinda manipulated my dad into taking her home and now we’ve had her for 4 years.
It warms my heart that these two found each other. A teensy tortie chose me just as intensely many years ago, literally running to me, yelling the whole way, climbing my body to get up to my shoulder before I could say hey. She then stuck her wet nose in my ear and started purring super loud. I was instantly hers, claimed for life. She was my buddy for seventeen years. I still miss her, my Tess the Terrible, Living Room Lion, loudest purr ever!
Cats have the gift of choosing good people. Maybe you are an angel and don`t even know. Be kind to all animals all the time and Tess will once more be proud of you.
Great rescue! Pro-tip though: take a stray to a vet for a checkup, not just for its own safety but also for the health and wellbeing of the cats you have at home.
I agree, it’s important to quarantine the kitty because it was definitely flea infested and may have had diseases that could be transmissible to her other pets. Just a learning opportunity.
@@Jade-fw6ni I 100% agree The thought of Feline Leukemia alone would scare me into quarantine for the little Lucky Charm. You never know until she gets tested. Just playing it safe for your other kitties. She is so adorable. You are the lucky one. She picked you.
@@SisterShirley Feline Leukemia is the only reason if you want a second cat to get it tested before you bring it in to the home. Great message to inform people.
Good on you both. Similar story with my pup. She was a rescue however we rescued each other. When I first got her and took her to the vet, she had no chip and the rest is history. It's amazing how rescues can change your life in that instant you both lock eyes. ❤️
3 years ago this august, same experience. Heard some "chirping" in the bushes next to a building I had been working in all week (IT). On the LAST day, I was taking some tools out to my car and I heard the little MEOWing from the bushes, I meowed back. Came back out to my car and there was this little kitten sitting near my tire. It ran under my Jeep as to hide, but stuck it's little head out from under the tire. Seeing someone had been putting out food, I got a water bottle that had about 1/4 of water still in it, cut it down so it could drink. It drank it all. I had scooped up some of the food and it came over to eat it. First time "he" got close to me. But I could see he was having issues breathing (lots of mucus coming out of it's nose). After 45 minutes, it let me touch him. it made his way around to my leg (I was kneeling) and he tried to climb up (something prompted me to take pictures so I have a picture of him doing that). Well, needless to say, here we are, 3 years later, Clinton has clearly never forgot that I all but saved his life and he's a very very loyal cat. I took him to an pet emergency hospital when I "kidnapped" him from the wild. They said he was about 2 months old, tipped the scale at just under 2 lbs. Had a URI, pink eye, bad flees but other then that, was healthy. This little think survived for 2 months all but on his own. I found out his brothers/sisters didn't make it. The people in the building said they were finding dead kittens that appeared to have been torn up by the local foxes or whatever else was running around. But he was there long enough to learn survival skills. He will stalk, catch and eat spiders that he finds out in his favorite place, our Florida room. We don't let him out (and when I have taken him out on a leash, he will just lay down, not move. So, doubt he will ever run away. I'm not a cat guy, but this little fellow picked me to be his hooman and as my wife says, I've spoiled him like kid (we have 2 cats but he's mine, the other cat is the wife's). He has learned to fetch, catch, he comes when I whistle. He will follow me to bed, lays down next to the bed, leaves after 20 mins or so, comes back around 4 and jumps up in the bed, sleeps by my feet. Is very jealous if the other cat is getting my attention (he will go up and bit the other cat on the neck) All I can say is, he won over this dog guy (next had much to do with cats) but he is my cat, I adopted him from the wild and hope to give him the best life I can till one of us leaves this earth.
My cat passed away recently, and this just reminded me of when I first adopted her. She was with a family who couldn't keep her because their cat kept attacking her, and she was afraid of nothing at all. My mom took her and offered her to me, but my roommate didn't want to keep her. I was sad, but accepted it, until that night, when I went to bed, and she crawled up onto the couch with me, and snuggled up next to me. I called my roommate, crying, and begged him to let me bring this cat home, and he gave in. She would have been 16 next month.
Have found a few kitties myself and love that feeling. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep them small except for Liberty. She still with me plus the four furballs she birthed since then. Glad she found you 😊
HOW TRUE !!! 👍 I went through that 3yrs ago with Jamie and Jenny (twins) the first time we (my ASHLEY and I went to see 👀❤😅 them at the farm) Jamie was asleep 😴 on my left forearm , with all 4 legs hanging loose !!! I KNEW at that moment that HE adopted ME !!! 🐈 Yes he's Ginger like the imogi !! Jenny is charcoal grey with a 90% broken tail 💔🎶 They're 3 😁 yrs. old and still race around the townhouse at York University in Toronto (CANADA 🇨🇦 with my daughter and her roommates)
It’s ironic that a tortie kitten came meowing under our beach house rental one evening as we were sitting outside on the porch. My granddaughter heard her and went down the steps to where cars were parked below the house. The kitten followed her back up the stairs to where we were sitting. It was obvious that she was under nourished and very hungry. We gave her pieces of conch that I had snagged with my fishing rod. Btw, conch meat is not the easiest thing to remove even after it has been steamed, and I did not want to punch a hole in the gorgeous shell. The kitten became a permanent fixture on our porch for the rest of our week’s rental, and when it was time to pack up the car, I took her in my arms for a long ride home. At first my husband said it was not a good idea to keep her, but by the time we reached our home, she had won him over too. I had named her Charm because she did Charm her way into our hearts. She is the love of our lives and makes me laugh every day with her games of hide and seek. I taught her to retrieve her stuffed mice. Cats are far smarter than people give them credit for being. She is a true blessing.
It’s the best feeling when animals choose you, my cat is such a sweet pea, and just thinking about it makes me teary eyed. She saved my life and my health. I love her.
That’s basically how we got our cat, Flerky. She came out to me in the back yard, pigged out on my extra cat food, befriended all of my other cats and is now the best friend of our Chihuahua.
Same with my cat flash! My mom and sister in law found him on the side of the road, he had a really bad eye infection and unfortunately the eye was removed due to it getting so bad the scab literally ripped off the front of his eye but he’s gotten bout 15 times his original size and is doing fine :)
Same, my baby boy was the same age when he died, he was the sweetest cat i've ever met. Do you and your cat's a favor and sterilize your cats please. I miss him every day
She looks almost exactly like my one eyed tortie that ran up to me on a freezing rainy day while I was working on my car. Poor thing was starving, all skin and bones :( we named her Tootsie. We really didn't want another cat but it was during the COVID shutdown and the local APA wasn't taking in pet's. So after alot of vet bills and alot of love and patience she's getting along great in our home. She's one lucky little kitty, she's over a year and still about the size of a six to eight month old, the vet said she's healthy though lol
She looks like the kitty I rescued a couple weeks ago. I had to take her to our no-kill shelter cuz I didn't have the money for her medical expenses and she didn't get along with my other animals. But she's happy and healthy now.
@@angelwings1979 thank you! I was so happy too cuz the day I took her in it started snowing. Plus I was able to at least make a little donation to sponsor her and any medical care she might need.
This is one of the most beautiful kittens I've ever seen. Her cornflower blue eyes are just mesmerizing and complement her calico fur so well. She also has the cutest, most squirmy personality. :)
Yes absolutely. I’ve rescued two cats that I was extremely allergic to. I got them into rescue one had to have a leg amputated. Both were adopted. I couldn’t live with myself to have left them.
@@Usandthem31 I absolutely commend you for what you did! I just wanted to let you know & for anyone else reading this, I was extremely allergic to my mother's cats. Here I am rescuing & taking care of strays since I was about twelve. I was mentioning this to my Veterinarian regarding my mother's cats & how allergic I was to them, that I had significant breathing problems, puffy eyes, She abruptly interrupted me and said, Haven't you heard of allerpet C that's the one for cats? ( there's also an allerpet D for dogs) I replied, No what is that? She proceeded to explain to me which I've heard before that you're not actually allergic to the cat, you're allergic to the dander. You need to get rid of the dander so she gave me a bottle of the allerpet C. I brought it over to my mother's home easy to follow directions, take a clean cloth or something similar and rub all over the cat(s). I was literally shocked that all this time I thought I was allergic to the cat or cats. I wasn't fully aware that it was the dander!! Needless to say, I've barely sneezed or had any other prior symptoms that used to prevent me from being around most cats. I highly recommend it, and confident you can find it in most pet stores.
@@tarrasage4272 Thank you so much I’ve used Allerpet C and everything I could find to help my cat tallergies to no avail. I’m a severe asthmatic and it’s almost killed me a couple times. There is an exotic breed of cat that has less protein in its dander that people are allergic to. It’s a Siberian Forest Cat and my husband and I found one being neglected at a “cat mill” breeder. This 7 month old kitten hadn’t been bought due to being black. Black cats are the first to be euthanized and last to be adopted. We wanted to get this little girl away from this POS breeder who had basically discarded her and neglected her and let her get beaten up by several other cats. We paid the breeder what she spent for vet costs and got that girl out of there. She was almost feral and it took me six months of working with her just to pet her. She’s now a loving, sweet 9 year old lady. I’m not very allergic to dogs and love them just as much and will be getting involved with their rescue when the shelters allow new volunteers. I’m in the Chicago area and we’re getting hit hard with Covid so everything closing again. Thank you so much for the suggestion to me and other readers.
Almost three months ago after the hurricane has passed us my mom found this tiny little kitten outside our house and she was so cute, we fed her and in my heart I knew she was definitely gonna be a part of our family. Two months later she’s now my brother’s cat, my brother named her after a moon goddess because I love the moon and it’s beauty...sadly though she only saw my cat Casper once before he passed away on Oct.22 of this year. Love and take care your pets everyone!
You are a super human being! We have a cat that just showed up on our door step for 3 days straight until we let him inside. Hasn’t left. He’s the most amazing, loving cst you’ll ever know.
She looks like a cross between a Calico and tortoiseshell. I'm amazed how social that cat is at a very young age amazing personality to be so young. That's a sign of loyalty for life. I have a four-year-old tortoiseshell myself along with a white and black Domino both male both rescue.🐯🐱
@@courtykat Yep. Male torties and calicos are rare due to most of them being born with at least one extra X chromosome, which is why the majority of them are sterile. Sometimes they can be the result of chimerism, though (when fraternal twins fuse together at the embryonic stage).
@@LuluDumpling Torties can have white, it's just a matter of whats most prominent. My friends dilute tortie has a white chest and belly, but is primarily grey and orange. A lot of sources say they have zero white, but that's just not true.
@@turntechgodhead1975 Nope. If they have even tiny spots of white that makes them a calico. They're literally colour descriptors: white = calico, no white = tortie.
The best cat I ever had was a little orange kitten that one day ran into my house and somehow went straight to the water bowl I had down for my other cats. She never left until the day she passed away from cancer laying on my chest 17 years later.
I love when they pick you. I had a cat about 7 months old show up on my doorstep crying on a bitter cold night. She saw me through my sliding glass door. I put out a box and food and water. The next morning she was still there. So I let her in. 15 months later, she’s still with me and a sister to my other two cats. She picked me.
@@cortster12 Eww...yes. Plus they let them walk on their kitchen counter tops & other furniture...no boundaries. So gross & unhygienic. It's usually obese women that do this.
@@cortster12 @1 w @MiekoNeko This is stupid. And incorrect. It is NOT always obese women that do this, and letting cats on furniture and countertops doesn't mean they have no boundaries, and it is actually BETTER for cats due to their instincts to be somewhere up high. Also crazy cat ladies are typically seen as women who own a lot of cats. Not someone that doesn't take care of them. Hoarding is a mental disease, an anxiety disorder, correct me if I'm wrong, usually caused from a rough childhood. There is also a such thing as a "Clean Hoarder". Not all hoarder houses are filthy, just filled with lot's of stuff/animals/ect. There are lots of people who live in filthy houses, whether it's from a mental or physical illness, or just tiredness. It's utterly horrific that you'd assume that all hoarders and cat ladies are like this and are on the heavier side. Please do your research before making such assumptions.
@@valeriamartin948 aww I am so sorry! I used to have a parrot, and he flew away and was found in the woods in my backyard. it got too cold for him and he was frozen solid. gives me the chills to this day.
My cat was a stray and our two Rottweilers were afraid of her! I think she must’ve told them she was from the streets! 18.5 years later, she’s outlived them and still going strong. Still blasts out of her litter box and down the hallway!
The poor baby was dehydrated and starving! This lady saved her life! Much love, from a fellow animal lover. Now, critters like roaches, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, are not really animals, they’re parasites and disease spreaders, I hate roaches. Kill the roaches, please. Love you, little Charm!
@@matthewmangum6320 They are animals, and they also have some kind of use. Mosquitoes are good in cleaning water. "Scientists at the University of Nottingham have found that the brains of cockroaches and grasshoppers are full of bacteria-killing compounds! They could even extract nine types of antibiotics from it. And that cocktail seems to work fine against bacteria that can no longer be brought down by the classic bacteria killers." Ticks and fleas are good in killing the weak, preventing over population. Just some things I found on the internet. And humans are animals too.
@@JacobBax mosquitos have been responsible for an estimated 52 billion people throughout the evolution of our species with presently in excess of a million people every year dying. So no mosquitos are not good.

It's common for certain species to overcome feral instincts when there is mortal anxiety kicking in. Like rabbits jumping in people's cars or seals jumping on people's boats to escape predators because they perceive humans to be the lesser risk in that situation. Same goes for animals that become entangled or trapped or are abandoned or at the brink of starvation to the point that those dangers pose a greater risk than human contact and potentially being saved by humans as a last resort.
That's actually how we got a full on feral cat to eventually become tame enough to adopt. She had gotten pregnant (with a litter of 6!) and eventually became so desperate for food that she had no choice but to interact with people. I'll never forget the first time she actually let me just ever so slightly pet her head. I never thought I'd ever get within 10 feet of that cat, let alone be able to pet it. It def took alot of work, but she eventually found a forever home (although she's DEF not a cat to test with belly rubs.)

Best thing about being an adult is when an animal follows you home you don't have to ask anyone if you can keep it
Tell that to my wife.

That’s a common quote though. I’m only saying this in reply to your last comment saying it was your teacher who said it. Just wanted to say that they didn’t create it.
Shes so beautiful with all those colors and those eyes!! Love it!
She's a short hair tortoiseshell she reminds me of my ex-girlfriend's cat named Zeke
I don’t blame you
It's called Calico
The epitome of "Not adopting a cat, but a cat adopting you". She just came running out of the bushes screaming "You are mine now!".
Hun, soo tru, wat would we be/do wivout them 💕😁👍🏽🙏🏽🕊️🇬🇧
*In Soviet Russia, you don’t adopt cat, cat adopt *y o u**
@wolfaesthetic LMAO Omg yes!
I've had several animals in my lifetime exactly because they chose me, which is such a sweet thing and makes you feel an even closer bond to your animals.
They kitten was so thankful and loving !
This poor little kitten was dehydrated, starving, and flea infested. Thank you for being kind and caring.
Many people in her position would have said, "I already have cats. I can't do this." She did what she was driven by her heart to do but what seemed obvious to her wouldn't have been to everyone.
There was a pregnant stray outside my mother's house and she would meow all night long, begging for shelter. My mother was just angry that she had to feel guilty about ignoring her.
She even fed her once and then was so upset that she wouldn't leave. It was heartbreaking. I was homeless and only visiting. I couldn't even get anyone to take her to the Humane Society. :(
I don't know how people can turn their backs on an animal when they are lucky to have the honor of helping them!
I'm glad Charm's story turned out happily ever after.
@@LunarEleven I would've taken the cat and taken care of it but my mom wouldn't have let me I grew up with cats and thats heartbreaking.

I ain't gonna lie, I'm so jealous of the the new owner. lol. I wish something like that would happen for me, again!
That feeling of when a stray kitten in trouble instantly attaches itself to you is one of the best feelings ever. I like that kitten would not leave that woman's side. That woman must be a great person for that to happen to her.
💝🙏💝 I pray your wish comes true!
same and she got the most adorable baby too
Kitten probably was abandoned and wasn't going to risk losing again.
Why just sit there and wish it to happen? Silly. You can literally save a cat or kittens life by adopting one from a shelter/pound. Millions of them are being killed every single day because no one comes for them, and the shelter has to make room for the next bunch of homeless cats that no one will come for. They are all just as needy and deserving of life and many are cats that were strays like this one given up to animal control.
"I didn't need another cat"
She needed you though :')
Exactly end of story

This kitten obviously knew that You did need HER in Your life...🐾💕
You are so sweet😁
yeah :,)

“Call it fate, call it karma but I believe everything happens for a reason.” I found my little girl like that on a cold winter day. I saw the most tiny creature run under a car, I don’t usually stop as there are always house cats, or skunks or squirrels running about but something compelled me to stop my car and get out that day. As I approached the vehicle, a tiny malnourished kitten with eyes shut due to infection crawled and slowly approached me meowing. I extended my hands expecting it to back away like most feral/wild cats I encounter, instead it crawled into my hands and say there. As if to say, please I need help. I picked her up ran back into my car. I drove her to the 24 hour emergency vet. The vet told me it was a roll of the dice I can pay to clean her up and give her medics and the shots she needed but she was probably not going to survive. On top of that the bill would be 2400$… I’m not rich man, but something inside me said “your the only chance she’s got” and I gave the vet the ok. Fast forward, it’s been 4 years. She is the love of my life, my greatest friend and companion. I can’t imagine a life with my baby Ripley.
Thank you in the name of humanity
That's a Wonderful story.. 💕
Aw, you're a good person! Thanks for helping that cat and giving her a loving home despite the poor outlook she had initially
Aww, I hope that you have many more long and happy years with your dear sweet girl kitty 😻❤

As a crazy cat dad, when a calico/Tortie chooses you, universal law states that you have a new cat.
that law applies to ALL cats!
How true I had one she did me that way and I had her for 25 years she was a special baby to me.
my cat had 4 kittens, one of them died :( but the others did! one of them is a calico and i love her sm
@@kennethcolbert2921 I had a cat that made it to almost 23, but I gave her sub q fluids for 4 years so we cheated death a bit (kidney disease). But, Wow...25 is amazing!!! I know you must still miss her. My last cat passed last month and it's been very sad/ hard.
Yeah, you are legally required you to spoil that cat if this happens
Why's no one talking about how beautiful this cat is
All cats are beautiful :D
Seriously tho, her colouring is gorgeous
Yeah she is one of the most beautiful Calico cats I've ever seen!!
I was just going to say that when I came across your comment!
! When I saw the cat run out from the bushes I knew I wanted her. Those eyes matched up with her golden/black fur and lil white socks. Gorgeous lil spunky cat. So happy for her she got a new home.
Match made in heaven. My eyes are bawling. Had to put my best friend to sleep because of final stage of kidney cancer. It was slightly over 6 months ago and the pain is still there. I miss her so much. Perhaps one day another kitty will come.
“I don’t want another cat”
Ah, yes, the typical famous last words.
You probably don't want to, but you need to. - Sunt tzu, the art of war
I don't think Charm gave her much of a choice in the matter. lol She just came running from the bushes and said "LOVE ME, Hooman." and that was that. lol
@Ic N Absolutely. Actually, I have seen this happen first-hand....when a kitten just comes bounding up to you out of nowhere. Our cat Panther did this exact same thing. It was snowing and very cold and she just came bounding up to my Mom and jumped up in her arms. She was still a baby, so we kept her.
You definitely need to rescue kittens...that place their hope of survival in you!
@@CeltycSparrow And what a lovely name Panther! Bless you for that rescue...God has recorded that kind act....!

that's probably true. i had a cat like that 'fearless' of the other animals. he turned out to be the boss. the others didn't even stand a chance :P
he was like my soulmate. hes gone now :( its ok though. hard but ok. nothing lasts forever.
She was a completely different cat the second day?
Well of course, full stomach, no more fleas biting her, a good night’s rest, and she found her new servant!
Ikr . What else could she ask for?
Some cats just turn different in a week, I still have some scars from one case of a cat that never stopped scratching who came close but I still hung out in the room and pet the other cat of the same breed and eventually after the cats she was brought with were adopted out shy became from scared to motherly to the other cats we bring into that room and now she’s just a happy furball who loves me and my mom
Servant 😆 🤣 😂

@@jimmydesanta1363 where was the joke?
🥰 aww
It's always neat to see when cats choose their people. Our cat, Fuego, showed up at our front door on the morning of the first day of the Covid lockdown in our area. She was super skinny and my wife asked if we could feed her. I didn't want a cat, and I knew where this was heading, but... you don't just shut your door in the face of a starving animal. She scarfed down the can of tuna and, the moment the plate was empty, she lifted her head and walked straight in our still-open front door.
I bought her food & a litter box that day during my lunch break and the rest is history.
Dads end up doing it however
КАКОЙ же вы молодец!
Дай БОГ ЗДОРОВЬЯ всем - и животным, и людям.
I love how she just walked right in and y’all didn’t even do anything lol i could be wrong but that thought is still funny lmao
your cat knew that your house needed a ‘house ruler’!!
Good job my man 💪. I'm sure that kitty will pay you back ten fold in love.
So heartbreaking the way she followed her everywhere like “please don’t leave me nice lady...I’m starving, thirsty, scared, and alone”. 😢 Thank God she saved her. What a happy ending!
i wonder what happened to all other 6possible her siblings of her

Yeah cats dont really do that. Im not sure where you've seen these plenty of videos, and Im not saying that NO cats do that, but for the most part cats dont respond in that fashion to going near their food. Cats tend to be fairly tolerant of others near their food as they normally share the same food areas and food sources as babies amd young kittens.

Hello Michele how are you doing today
It was so cute seeing her run out of the bushes with tail straight up. She was SOOOOOO happy to see you.
I believe we don’t choose our pets, they choose us. Such a pretty baby.
I believe that too. I know my poodle definitely picked me & never wanted to be with anyone but me. He never really made friends with my family or my friends, I think he just tolerated them. I’ve never had a pet as loyal as this poodle.
You are definitely right. Our pets come to us and are with us for a reason. It is all planned.
Completely true. When I went to look at this cat needing a home I really didn't expect to take her. An hour later she was asleep on my bed. She actually rode the whole 20 mins home in my lap which blew my mind.
She turned out to be pregnant and I think that's when I understood why she *wanted* me to take her. She was ignored and the previous owner didn't like her. She just wanted someone she could trust because her instincts told her she needed a safe place.
I'm thankful every day! It's been a hard journey, because her kittens were premature but I don't regret it and just hope I have lived up to her expectations.
The mistake people make is when they think they can expect their pets to be what they want them to. They are the ones who get to demand you be what they need, not vice versa.
that is so true
Back in December of 2021 I had stopped at a Texaco near my house. It was cold and was lightly raining. From out of nowhere a tiny ball of fur about the same size of this cat comes running up to me. I am not a cat person, but there was no way I was going to leave this little Tabby out in the cold rain. When I got home I was trying to think of what shelter to take her to.
Today is July 9th 2022. And as I sit in bed typing this, she is laying next to me. She won me over and changed my mind on cats. She wakes me up every morning with a gentle biting of my nose and then proceeds to kiss it. I would truly have missed out if I had taken her to a shelter.
🥰😻👏👏👏💕
Oooh that is so cute 😊 I love that happy end.
Thank you for sharing this. My Diva nips at my nose to relax. She started as a kitten and never grew out of it. I ended up homeless, so I cannot take care of her. I hope to get back on my feet and see her again. She's older and it'll break my heart if I never see her again...

I love that straight forward , honest story telling . No drama . Great job , Ma’m ! Lucky cat !
Same here. I loved it from start to finish. What a lovely person. What a lucky cat.
This story reminds me so much of when I found my black cat pumpkin. She was over a month old and left on the side of the road. When I walked up to her she let out a big cry and jumped into my arms. I knew she was mine instantly. Now she’s turning five in July!
Yes my cat Wakasasha who is a one-eye-damaged Seal Point Siamese/Calico lost her sister (who saw for both of them ..) to adoption the day before we got her; it is so cruel to adopt only ONE of a bonded pair and to leave the disabled one alone is doubly cruel! However my husband got her for me the day after my dad died and the minute they put her in my arms she and I both knew she was mine. She was so depressed though from losing her sister that she'd wrap herself in the bathroom shower curtain and stay there. So hubby got her a kitten of her own and when that kitty grew up she remained playful and Waka couldn't keep up with her bad eye so we got her a kitten too and now we are a happy 3 cat family. So in our personal family language Waka means 'Remember' and Sasha was her sister's name. LOVE
I thought you found a black cat in your pumpkins. I've been checking inside pumpkins for a week in vain.
Many years ago, a friend told me she had a litter of kittens to rehome, did I want one. When I got out of my car I never got to see the litter because one saw me. It immediately ran to me, from at least thirty feet away, mewing the whole way. I had a new kitten, and she stayed loyal to me.
Happy late birthday pumpkin
Aww, I hope that you have many more long and happy years with your dear sweet Pumpkin 😻❤

🍀 Charm!
Anyone who has ever had cats knows the cats choose their owners...
or the owners choose their cats or get their cats
The cat has always chosen the wizard, Mr. Potter.
I can relate 100%. My boyfriend's cat had kittens and his family couldn't keep them all, so he offered me a cat. I didn't know which one to choose at first. but one little gray, striped cat kept coming over to me and would not leave me alone. Four years later, Silver does the same thing.
Yeah, one of my cats was rescued by my dad from another, meaner cat. My cat kinda manipulated my dad into taking her home and now we’ve had her for 4 years.
And what a privilege at that!
She is beautiful and precious! Cats choose us. You are very fortunate to have her. Best wishes to both of you!
I feel emotionally connected to this cat because it looks exactly like mine so I feel sad for it but I’m happy that she found a home
It warms my heart that these two found each other. A teensy tortie chose me just as intensely many years ago, literally running to me, yelling the whole way, climbing my body to get up to my shoulder before I could say hey. She then stuck her wet nose in my ear and started purring super loud. I was instantly hers, claimed for life. She was my buddy for seventeen years. I still miss her, my Tess the Terrible, Living Room Lion, loudest purr ever!

Cats have the gift of choosing good people. Maybe you are an angel and don`t even know. Be kind to all animals all the time and Tess will once more be proud of you.
Great rescue! Pro-tip though: take a stray to a vet for a checkup, not just for its own safety but also for the health and wellbeing of the cats you have at home.
I agree, it’s important to quarantine the kitty because it was definitely flea infested and may have had diseases that could be transmissible to her other pets. Just a learning opportunity.
@@Jade-fw6ni I 100% agree

@@SisterShirley Feline Leukemia is the only reason if you want a second cat to get it tested before you bring it in to the home. Great message to inform people.

Good on you both. Similar story with my pup. She was a rescue however we rescued each other. When I first got her and took her to the vet, she had no chip and the rest is history. It's amazing how rescues can change your life in that instant you both lock eyes. ❤️
3 years ago this august, same experience. Heard some "chirping" in the bushes next to a building I had been working in all week (IT). On the LAST day, I was taking some tools out to my car and I heard the little MEOWing from the bushes, I meowed back. Came back out to my car and there was this little kitten sitting near my tire. It ran under my Jeep as to hide, but stuck it's little head out from under the tire. Seeing someone had been putting out food, I got a water bottle that had about 1/4 of water still in it, cut it down so it could drink. It drank it all. I had scooped up some of the food and it came over to eat it. First time "he" got close to me. But I could see he was having issues breathing (lots of mucus coming out of it's nose). After 45 minutes, it let me touch him. it made his way around to my leg (I was kneeling) and he tried to climb up (something prompted me to take pictures so I have a picture of him doing that). Well, needless to say, here we are, 3 years later, Clinton has clearly never forgot that I all but saved his life and he's a very very loyal cat. I took him to an pet emergency hospital when I "kidnapped" him from the wild. They said he was about 2 months old, tipped the scale at just under 2 lbs. Had a URI, pink eye, bad flees but other then that, was healthy. This little think survived for 2 months all but on his own. I found out his brothers/sisters didn't make it. The people in the building said they were finding dead kittens that appeared to have been torn up by the local foxes or whatever else was running around. But he was there long enough to learn survival skills. He will stalk, catch and eat spiders that he finds out in his favorite place, our Florida room. We don't let him out (and when I have taken him out on a leash, he will just lay down, not move. So, doubt he will ever run away. I'm not a cat guy, but this little fellow picked me to be his hooman and as my wife says, I've spoiled him like kid (we have 2 cats but he's mine, the other cat is the wife's). He has learned to fetch, catch, he comes when I whistle. He will follow me to bed, lays down next to the bed, leaves after 20 mins or so, comes back around 4 and jumps up in the bed, sleeps by my feet. Is very jealous if the other cat is getting my attention (he will go up and bit the other cat on the neck) All I can say is, he won over this dog guy (next had much to do with cats) but he is my cat, I adopted him from the wild and hope to give him the best life I can till one of us leaves this earth.
Beautiful story...💗💗💗
I love this :’))
Just great, and I have two rescues and love 💘 them so much 💗 💓 ❤
Well dog guy , love happy rescue storys ,
I feel bad for his siblings, thank you for saving him.
No matter how rough your day was, a cute kitty meowing video on UA-cam always makes things better.
Absolutely!
My cat passed away recently, and this just reminded me of when I first adopted her. She was with a family who couldn't keep her because their cat kept attacking her, and she was afraid of nothing at all. My mom took her and offered her to me, but my roommate didn't want to keep her. I was sad, but accepted it, until that night, when I went to bed, and she crawled up onto the couch with me, and snuggled up next to me. I called my roommate, crying, and begged him to let me bring this cat home, and he gave in. She would have been 16 next month.

ME TO I LOVE CATS
i love how she had cat food with her already, as if she was meant to find her - what beautiful synchronicity!
Charm: hears person
Also Charm *Bibbity Bobbity your house is my property*
lol..i love that.

Have found a few kitties myself and love that feeling. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep them small except for Liberty. She still with me plus the four furballs she birthed since then. Glad she found you 😊
"It's not like I needed another cat..."
Well, another cat needed you.
HOW TRUE !!! 👍 I went through that 3yrs ago with Jamie and Jenny (twins) the first time we (my ASHLEY and I went to see 👀❤😅 them at the farm) Jamie was asleep 😴 on my left forearm , with all 4 legs hanging loose !!! I KNEW at that moment that HE adopted ME !!! 🐈 Yes he's Ginger like the imogi !! Jenny is charcoal grey with a 90% broken tail 💔🎶 They're 3 😁 yrs. old and still race around the townhouse at York University in Toronto (CANADA 🇨🇦 with my daughter and her roommates)
It’s ironic that a tortie kitten came meowing under our beach house rental one evening as we were sitting outside on the porch. My granddaughter heard her and went down the steps to where cars were parked below the house. The kitten followed her back up the stairs to where we were sitting. It was obvious that she was under nourished and very hungry. We gave her pieces of conch that I had snagged with my fishing rod. Btw, conch meat is not the easiest thing to remove even after it has been steamed, and I did not want to punch a hole in the gorgeous shell. The kitten became a permanent fixture on our porch for the rest of our week’s rental, and when it was time to pack up the car, I took her in my arms for a long ride home. At first my husband said it was not a good idea to keep her, but by the time we reached our home, she had won him over too. I had named her Charm because she did Charm her way into our hearts. She is the love of our lives and makes me laugh every day with her games of hide and seek. I taught her to retrieve her stuffed mice. Cats are far smarter than people give them credit for being. She is a true blessing.
It’s the best feeling when animals choose you, my cat is such a sweet pea, and just thinking about it makes me teary eyed. She saved my life and my health. I love her.
Sounds like you needed each other. I’m glad found each other.
Lovely words, best to you both
She’s definitely a little Charmer❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for loving her, she knows you are her Mom❤❤❤❤
That’s basically how we got our cat, Flerky. She came out to me in the back yard, pigged out on my extra cat food, befriended all of my other cats and is now the best friend of our Chihuahua.
i love her name. how did you think of that? 😊 and it’s amazing she got along with your other cats and your dog. great story. 🐈⬛🐈🐾🌷🌱
@@feralbluee thanks! It's from The Avengers! The cat is really an alien called a "flerken"
@@Lolaismypoopydog2036 LOL wonderful 😋🌷🌱
Best friend of a chihuahua?! Now it's adorable!
Same with my cat flash! My mom and sister in law found him on the side of the road, he had a really bad eye infection and unfortunately the eye was removed due to it getting so bad the scab literally ripped off the front of his eye but he’s gotten bout 15 times his original size and is doing fine :)
You didn't need a new cat, but she needed a mom and that's what counts 😂😂😻
Hello Krithya how are you doing today
I remember one of my cats came to me like this.... He was like this small, Picked him from street...he was with us for 3 years... RIP my child 😭😭
Damn son :(
Same, my baby boy was the same age when he died, he was the sweetest cat i've ever met. Do you and your cat's a favor and sterilize your cats please. I miss him every day
That's so sad 😭 I wish you a longer life in respect for your pet
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear sweet 3 year old boy kitty 😿😭
@@korepomegranate Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear sweet 3 year old boy kitty 😿😭
Thank you so much for saving her. You gave her life! Without your intervention, she probably would have come to a pitiful demise.
She looks almost exactly like my one eyed tortie that ran up to me on a freezing rainy day while I was working on my car. Poor thing was starving, all skin and bones :( we named her Tootsie. We really didn't want another cat but it was during the COVID shutdown and the local APA wasn't taking in pet's. So after alot of vet bills and alot of love and patience she's getting along great in our home. She's one lucky little kitty, she's over a year and still about the size of a six to eight month old, the vet said she's healthy though lol
FOR REAL THO that story is amazing!
You are a good guy
@@itzme.7389 Not a guy but I appreciate it lol🤣
You try did right by that suffering kitty. You did good, and I hope for good to return to you, multiplied! Peace and love to you and your kitties!
@@Iconoclast1919 Thankyou, peace and love to you
Her eyes! Her ears! Her mews! Her whiskies! Her spirit! Such a sweetie!

Yeah, yeah, *WHISKIES*
@@S1lly.St4rg4z3R lol they edited the comment and it still says whiskies
@@betterbit5162 Lol
She looks like the kitty I rescued a couple weeks ago. I had to take her to our no-kill shelter cuz I didn't have the money for her medical expenses and she didn't get along with my other animals. But she's happy and healthy now.
You were still her savior. You did a great thing. 💜
@@angelwings1979 thank you! I was so happy too cuz the day I took her in it started snowing. Plus I was able to at least make a little donation to sponsor her and any medical care she might need.
Thank you for opening your heart and home to such an innocent creature. God Bless.
This is one of the most beautiful kittens I've ever seen. Her cornflower blue eyes are just mesmerizing and complement her calico fur so well. She also has the cutest, most squirmy personality. :)
That's what got me, too, was those ice blue eyes.
That pattern on her face is astounding too.
Her eyes are green, the blue was just kitten blue
@@drnogueiras8783 Still cute! ^_^ I'm green-eyed myself. ;) Would never love a kitty less for having green eyes.
@@MarysiaKosowski I’m jealous, would love green eyes. Yes she’s still just as cute and just as lovable
PSA: don't ignore stray cats. If you yourself can't help it, call a rescue please.
Yes absolutely. I’ve rescued two cats that I was extremely allergic to. I got them into rescue one had to have a leg amputated. Both were adopted. I couldn’t live with myself to have left them.
Also always micro-chip your pets. ✌️
@@buttorr true.. if you can help the mother and her children (if she wants of course)
@@Usandthem31 I absolutely commend you for what you did! I just wanted to let you know & for anyone else reading this, I was extremely allergic to my mother's cats. Here I am rescuing & taking care of strays since I was about twelve. I was mentioning this to my Veterinarian regarding my mother's cats & how allergic I was to them, that I had significant breathing problems, puffy eyes, She abruptly interrupted me and said, Haven't you heard of allerpet C that's the one for cats? ( there's also an allerpet D for dogs) I replied, No what is that? She proceeded to explain to me which I've heard before that you're not actually allergic to the cat, you're allergic to the dander. You need to get rid of the dander so she gave me a bottle of the allerpet C. I brought it over to my mother's home easy to follow directions, take a clean cloth or something similar and rub all over the cat(s). I was literally shocked that all this time I thought I was allergic to the cat or cats. I wasn't fully aware that it was the dander!! Needless to say, I've barely sneezed or had any other prior symptoms that used to prevent me from being around most cats.
I highly recommend it, and confident you can find it in most pet stores.
@@tarrasage4272 Thank you so much I’ve used Allerpet C and everything I could find to help my cat tallergies to no avail. I’m a severe asthmatic and it’s almost killed me a couple times. There is an exotic breed of cat that has less protein in its dander that people are allergic to. It’s a Siberian Forest Cat and my husband and I found one being neglected at a “cat mill” breeder. This 7 month old kitten hadn’t been bought due to being black. Black cats are the first to be euthanized and last to be adopted. We wanted to get this little girl away from this POS breeder who had basically discarded her and neglected her and let her get beaten up by several other cats. We paid the breeder what she spent for vet costs and got that girl out of there. She was almost feral and it took me six months of working with her just to pet her. She’s now a loving, sweet 9 year old lady. I’m not very allergic to dogs and love them just as much and will be getting involved with their rescue when the shelters allow new volunteers. I’m in the Chicago area and we’re getting hit hard with Covid so everything closing again. Thank you so much for the suggestion to me and other readers.
Almost three months ago after the hurricane has passed us my mom found this tiny little kitten outside our house and she was so cute, we fed her and in my heart I knew she was definitely gonna be a part of our family.
Two months later she’s now my brother’s cat, my brother named her after a moon goddess because I love the moon and it’s beauty...sadly though she only saw my cat Casper once before he passed away on Oct.22 of this year.
Love and take care your pets everyone!
I‘m sorry for your loss. My cat passed away on the 23th of october
Sorry for your loss my bday is oct 22
My bday is Oct 22 toooooo
You are a super human being! We have a cat that just showed up on our door step for 3 days straight until we let him inside. Hasn’t left. He’s the most amazing, loving cst you’ll ever know.
She looks like a cross between a Calico and tortoiseshell. I'm amazed how social that cat is at a very young age amazing personality to be so young. That's a sign of loyalty for life. I have a four-year-old tortoiseshell myself along with a white and black Domino both male both rescue.🐯🐱
You have a male tortie?! That is so incredibly rare!!
@@courtykat Yep a tortie is a calico minus the white! They're not breeds, they just describe the colour pattern regardless of breed or hair length etc
@@courtykat Yep. Male torties and calicos are rare due to most of them being born with at least one extra X chromosome, which is why the majority of them are sterile. Sometimes they can be the result of chimerism, though (when fraternal twins fuse together at the embryonic stage).
@@LuluDumpling Torties can have white, it's just a matter of whats most prominent. My friends dilute tortie has a white chest and belly, but is primarily grey and orange. A lot of sources say they have zero white, but that's just not true.
@@turntechgodhead1975 Nope. If they have even tiny spots of white that makes them a calico. They're literally colour descriptors: white = calico, no white = tortie.
The best cat I ever had was a little orange kitten that one day ran into my house and somehow went straight to the water bowl I had down for my other cats. She never left until the day she passed away from cancer laying on my chest 17 years later.
RIP....sounds like a wonderful cat!
She loved you dearly. The greatest gift a cat can give.
that's a great cat right there!
Charming. Animal rescue videos are my secret indulgence. Nice to see good hearted humans taking care of the most vulnerable little creatures.
Mine too. Live cat videos.
Charm is a wonderful name. She is just precious! Thanks for rescuing her!
sometimes just a little bit of happiness can defeat depression.
edit: even a small kitten can win a war against sadness and loneliness
Agreed!!
God bless people who put animals before their own wellbeing. ❤
Charm knew exactly who to cry to...you could tell she had been alone for some time. Clever little girl she is. ❤
Hello Maria how are you doing today
I love when they pick you. I had a cat about 7 months old show up on my doorstep crying on a bitter cold night. She saw me through my sliding glass door. I put out a box and food and water. The next morning she was still there. So I let her in. 15 months later, she’s still with me and a sister to my other two cats. She picked me.
That quick reflexive little hiss even though she came bounding out enthusiastically toward the human and was clearly happy to be rescued. 😹😻
This little beauty just knew this lady was kind.
Who says a crazy cat lady is crazy, they just give lots of cats homes.
🤪
Crazy cat ladies are people with dozens of cats who let them run amuck and the entire house is basically a litterbox, not someone like this.
@@cortster12 Eww...yes. Plus they let them walk on their kitchen counter tops & other furniture...no boundaries. So gross & unhygienic. It's usually obese women that do this.
Yeah, its more like catcrazy lady
@@cortster12 @1 w @MiekoNeko
This is stupid. And incorrect. It is NOT always obese women that do this, and letting cats on furniture and countertops doesn't mean they have no boundaries, and it is actually BETTER for cats due to their instincts to be somewhere up high.
Also crazy cat ladies are typically seen as women who own a lot of cats. Not someone that doesn't take care of them. Hoarding is a mental disease, an anxiety disorder, correct me if I'm wrong, usually caused from a rough childhood. There is also a such thing as a "Clean Hoarder". Not all hoarder houses are filthy, just filled with lot's of stuff/animals/ect.
There are lots of people who live in filthy houses, whether it's from a mental or physical illness, or just tiredness.
It's utterly horrific that you'd assume that all hoarders and cat ladies are like this and are on the heavier side. Please do your research before making such assumptions.
What a beautiful little kitty 🐱!!
So cute 🥰 and brave!!
Such a tiny little thing 😂
That’s how I found my cat, near a busy intersection. I swooped her up and bundled her up in my jacket and took her home. Had her for 17 years.
Hun, ur a TRU GUARDIAN OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM 😘 🙏🏽 🕊️ 🇬🇧
Awww . When you said “had” wdym
@@curry8487 She was a 2 month old kitten (according to vet) when I found her. She was my companion until she died at 17 years.
@@valeriamartin948 aww I am so sorry! I used to have a parrot, and he flew away and was found in the woods in my backyard. it got too cold for him and he was frozen solid. gives me the chills to this day.
@@curry8487 I’m so sorry. Loss of a pet is so painful.
My cat was a stray and our two Rottweilers were afraid of her! I think she must’ve told them she was from the streets! 18.5 years later, she’s outlived them and still going strong. Still blasts out of her litter box and down the hallway!
Glad, you found her! Fleas are horrible, no wonder that she was that thirsty. You saved her life. Thanks and blessings to you!
The poor baby was dehydrated and starving! This lady saved her life! Much love, from a fellow animal lover. Now, critters like roaches, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, are not really animals, they’re parasites and disease spreaders, I hate roaches. Kill the roaches, please. Love you, little Charm!
@@matthewmangum6320 They are animals, and they also have some kind of use.
Mosquitoes are good in cleaning water.
"Scientists at the University of Nottingham have found that the brains of cockroaches and grasshoppers are full of bacteria-killing compounds!
They could even extract nine types of antibiotics from it.
And that cocktail seems to work fine against bacteria that can no longer be brought down by the classic bacteria killers."
Ticks and fleas are good in killing the weak, preventing over population.
Just some things I found on the internet.
And humans are animals too.
@@JacobBax mosquitos have been responsible for an estimated 52 billion people throughout the evolution of our species with presently in excess of a million people every year dying. So no mosquitos are not good.
Ty for saving this precious baby
When you are the last cat of the day and there is no matching pieces.

The way she stumbles down the stair at first is so adorableee
Charm is such a loving and lucky addition.
Thank you for being so kind to little girl. You have renewed my faith in humanity.
It's common for certain species to overcome feral instincts when there is mortal anxiety kicking in. Like rabbits jumping in people's cars or seals jumping on people's boats to escape predators because they perceive humans to be the lesser risk in that situation. Same goes for animals that become entangled or trapped or are abandoned or at the brink of starvation to the point that those dangers pose a greater risk than human contact and potentially being saved by humans as a last resort.
We humans were originally assigned as their forever caregivers. Genesis 1:26.
I believe such kittens are small angels sent to test our humanity. We have several, we take on animals that nobody else wants.
That's actually how we got a full on feral cat to eventually become tame enough to adopt. She had gotten pregnant (with a litter of 6!) and eventually became so desperate for food that she had no choice but to interact with people.
I'll never forget the first time she actually let me just ever so slightly pet her head. I never thought I'd ever get within 10 feet of that cat, let alone be able to pet it. It def took alot of work, but she eventually found a forever home (although she's DEF not a cat to test with belly rubs.)
They rely on their cuteness to win over our hearts ☠️
