Very true words! I feel very happy that I've been able to make a difference in the lives of several stray cats, all have passed away except for one that I'm still caring for. The ones that passed had love and care during the last years of their lives, and I'm so glad I was able to give them that. 🐱💖

Tonight I tried... at the end the road when I was coming home, was one of my local foxes that had been hit by a car. Poor thing was thrashing about and yelping in the middle of a busy road. A lady driving by stopped contacted a local emegancy vet, and I managed to pick it up and wrap it in a blanket (while dodging traffic) and load it into the boot of the car... luckily had leather gloves on as I got bit a few times. Got to the local vet, but he died shortly after. I've had a few success stories, but sadly more that end like this. It's all just a matter of timing. If one of the cars before me had done this he might have been ok, I don't know how long he'd been there... I hate dealing with stuff like this, but comes from when my dad and a 12 year old me walked into a lake and saved a swan that some kids had stupidly got caught in their fishing line, after it took their bait...we saw them run off when it happened. taking a hook out of a swans beak is not fun!

True statement

well said its a difficult one cos if you free feed you may get alot more feral I do think the tnr is a great idea I would love to have more furbabies but the reason I got mine in the first place was his aggressive attitude towards one of those cats he was living with if only I could show a vid or pic of my Chester a lovely ginger you would of thought I was lying he's turned around and been the best cat ever you tc

Then why not save all those cows, goats, pigs and chickens ? Not every basic argument is "toxic" vegan stuff . I'm curious what's the answer to this question ❓ I just don't understand your animal "love"...

I just got a stray cat from across the street that I been trying to feed.she is in a lot of pain from rotten teeth.she has surgery coming in a few days.I thank everyone who help this poor baby.

@Chris Handsome But mama said...🤣🤣

I hope the other items that can make intact male cats aggressive went into the clinical waste with the teeth...

He is lovely 😍glad someone as took him all u people out there like u need a medal 🏅it makes me so happy seeing 😊that godbless u xxxxxxxx

I was cranky with one bad tooth.

You said it, but don’t forget toys to play with.

The old lady had to go to a care home. She didn’t and one them. Most of the time decisions like that aren’t made by the person themself and when they are, it’s because it’s medically needed.

The sweet lady that was feeding them for years was made to go into a home or had no choice , so sad . I hope she too is happy and safe a true child of God and I hope word gets to her that all her cat family are now safe and sound

I love his face, it reminds me of the big orange tabby that I had when I was a kid. He was a fighter and a lover. He was my best friend

He has his own bedroom.....NICCCCE

Yes! Cats are much brighter than we give them credit for. And most of them are very good people.

Touched my heart, cats are angels!

Cats are brilliants and you are feeding a non deseable situation. If you want to help, feeding them on the street only make the situation worst. They are domestic, no Wild animals.

@@bocaraca3814 It certainly doesn't make the situation worse! Ignoring them would! Not all strays can be rehomed easily for several reasons, not least because they might not want to. A lack of adopters is also a problem: usually people go after kittens. Some shelters in the US resort to killing the ones they can't rehome: at this point, better well fed in the streets. Possibly neutered. Bless this lady and her husband for taking care of them

@@coscinaippogrifo cats are not part of the enviroment, they kill a lot of native fauna and spread diseases and figth with other pets. If they are not adopted, humane euthanasia is the best option. But feed them only make them breed more and attract more to the area.

Omg, I thought I was the only one who saw that. Dedication indeed. Respect.

Hi friends, i have street cats that you can help by watching and supporting them, thanks💞🌷🙏

I thought so too!

I thought she was scratched on her face

Seems more likely those are scars from being scratched.

Absolutely😻

What a lovely sentence!😊❤❤❤

Great insight - So true!!!

Or they simply just don't like people, and that's okay too.

@@haventchangedmypfpsince2009 true, cats are all unique individuals, some crave attention, others want nothing to do with us. Some people say "all cats are jerks" my reply to that is "some are, but the percentage is far fewer than with humans" XD

Hurt people hurt people. Same with animals. They're really no different.

@@SarahJSweetheart oh I TOTALLY agree. Humans are the biggest jerks there are.

Thank the person

It’s a pity your god (small g) can’t / won’t / doesn’t actually do anything himself. I mean, look at the countless homeless, starving and diseased innocent children on this planet

Ok

Amen.

Yes, you are very special!

I'm so sorry

Thank you

I am so sorry for your loss. Don't ever expect a lot of yourself....we never get over loosing someone we love. We learn to accept because there is no choice. Even with acceptance, our grief comes in waves, forever, just like our love lasts forever♥

Wth are you talking about? Humans are the reason house cats were domesticated. You know what domestication is? Genetic slavery, you're literally taking an organism out of nature and breeding it to be dependent on YOU! Most f'ed up 💩 and it's our legacy as a species!

@@stevenbaker7025 Oh so humans forced cats into domestication, they did not gravitate to human settlements due to the abundance rodents and availability of shelter. And as for cats being dependent on humans that is utter garbage there are millions of feral domestic cats in the world reeking havoc on the environment. The best thing for them and other animals is that they stay in homes with responsible people.

@@stevenbaker7025 the only thing here that stinks is your false opinion

@Friskies Catfood My cats are Kings 😼😎

@@suzy1750 I have been able to tame two feral cats, but they each took a couple years before I could even touch them. Two years of just being around them everyday. But once they crossed a certain line, they became total lap cats ❤ The situation was unique in that they started hanging out in my yard, so I was able to put the time in. This often isn't the case ... I will say that both of those cats touched my heart in very special ways ❤ ♥

My mom tamed several ferals and they became the most loving house cats ever. They will always spook easy but give as much love as any domesticated cat. On my visits from out of state, these former ferals often slept with me.

It takes patience but most adult ferals can be socialized and become loving house or indoor/outdoor cats. Some will be shyer and not like being picked up or handled but still love pets, but plenty of houseborn cats are like that too. They have the same domestic genes as housecats, just some have been supressed for the sake of survival. Feral is a learned behavior, domestic is the default. No feral cat is truly happy living outside, they may enjoy some aspects as do housecats, but they certainly don't like the cold, the predators, the difficulty in finding food, the cars, ect. That said there will always be cats that are different and don't want human attention no matter what. I had a litter of kittens from 2 weeks old bottle fed, all sweet and lovely adopted out except one, this one orange tabby female. Up until around 3 months old she was friendly but very needy, wanted to be with me all the time, but then very suddenly something changed, I think she had something wrong in her brain like people get personality disorders. She began acting like a feral cat and wanted no attention from me at all, eventually she went to live outside on a friend's farm and still comes to eat but wants nothing to do with humans.

I can attest to this as I have a feral boy who I tamed from a fully feral kitty

@@melodiefrances3898 same here... A totally feral cat came to my door, he had rotten teeth...bit by bit...he got more confidence..it took over a year... until he finally moved into my house, onto my lap, and would always sleep by my side. He was HIV positive, and had an over larged heart. But he had a good life.💙 Until his heart finally gave out. I've tamed lots more but this one turned into a baby in my hands.🐾🐾

why the air quotes.

@{𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓃} Yeah, why? i dont get people like this.

Uhh LOL whats with this comment

👍❤️

In addition to the huge glove but I’m happy it all worked out.

It's a way of allowing them to release a massive amount of their aggression prior to your approach. Read up on rescuing feral techniques to diffuse hostility & aggression.

I think it was a small scratching post, though I couldn’t see well

He WAS pretty feral.

Amen to that ,sister. I feed a feral colony of 7 . Two times a day. When I tell you it's pure joy for me. I've given them names and vet care,spay/neuter shots etc. Animals are the best & deserve way more than they get. Be blessed and Happy Thanksgiving 😊

....It's hard for humans to offer unconditional love because it's almost always about us. If you can truly overcome that you are very special indeed!

Hi friends, i have street cats that you can help by watching and supporting them, thanks💞🌷🙏

Not to mention how quietly they endure pain. It’s like they accept it as their due, which is highly unfair. 😢

You said what I wanted to say. Thank God for her and her love and patience. 😻

@@patriciajones4744 I agree Patricia. And would have said the same exact thing💯❤😽😽

Oh my god.... I am so sorry for your loss i cant imagine the pain of losing someone you love. May your husband rest in peace

А почему их винить? "Люди" сволочи зашугали, а животных винить?

My Misa was considered feral and she is just scare ,she sleeps on my shoulder loves playing with strings I had a surgery and she didn't want to be away from me not even to eat🥺

@@annaleview5235 Aw that’s so sweet. I think sometimes if the animals aren’t immediately friendly they get labeled feral. My boys never once appeared aggressive, they were just terrified. They had shut down and were curled up together. The tiniest amount of affection plus a bag of temptations opened them right up. Also, I love your name!

💜 YES, TRULY SHE'S AN EARTH ANGEL 😊👼🐈🐱🙏💜💜💜

@@katymcginn4644 I totally agree! An earth angel for sure!

God Bless You👏🏼.

Thank you for all you have done ..

That's so great to hear! I'm currently at raising 3 ferals and I have 2 domestic cats as well.. my domestic cats are both rescues so they help me by welcoming the new additions. Feral cats are the best because they pick you.. you can't force them to be there, to love you or show you affection, it's most definitely earned 💕❤️🐈🐾 Thank You for your years of service, just know there's more of us out there 🥰🤗

Bless you, baby girl!. You've had a remarkable life so far! Helping others because you've been there heals. You turned your pain into a path for healing others.

@@KITTKATT11 True enough, we had dozens of feral cats but only a few choose us..

My late grandmother was the neighborhood cat lady. People hated her for it. But she was a holocaust survivor. She was in auschwitz at 15 and lost most of her family. She told me she would feed the cats because she knew what it was like to be starving and cold and she couldn't stand to see the cats suffer the same as she did

@@evalevy2909 How kind and compassionate of your grandma, bless her soul!

Contact SOS Prarie Rescue and ask about Eeyore and Marcia

This past winter I took in an elderly, male, battle- scarred cat. After the rocky initiation period, Mr. Whiskers settled down and became a LOVE BUG! People in the neighborhood who knew him as a stray couldn't believe it. He gained weight and his matted fur is now shiny and plush. (Amazing what good, clean food and a warm place to sleep and de-stress can do)! I let him into the house this winter and he acted as a kitten. Rolling around on the floor and showing his belly and purring non-stop. MR.Whiskers the skinny, scraggly, 14 yr old(?) stray cat has found the home he had been seeking all his life! He is an Indoor/outdoor cat. The only negative is he thinks he is "number 1" and the 2 younger, neutered males are intimidated by him! But, it is a work in progress.

You can't just take the animals you have to get warrants and police to come by with reasonable doubt. It's hard for animals man

Yess! We desperately need more people like you! May God bless all your days.
