Isn't it wonderful when a cat realizes he is loved?

This woman has so much understanding and patience !

I hope they adopt those guys together! They are bonded now and will greatly benefit from staying together 💜

What a great pair of cats, and of course they shouldn't be separated. I adopted an older pair of cats like that too. They were too bonded to separate, so they were adopted out together. Squeaky and Dez were so cute together. The slept together constantly and also groomed each other. Dez was a chunky calico, and Squeaky a slim and very anxious long hair black cat. Squeaky just worshiped the ground that Dez walked on, but was nervous around people. It was hilarious to see the way they acted. Nothing phased Dez, she was so sedate, and then their was Squeaky's adorable neuroticism. Sqeaky would squawk for attention, but when you reached for her, she'd cower in fear or run half the time. It used to make Ron laugh so hard. She would come and lay on us on her own terms. i guess we were safer if we were laying down or something. I can't describe the hero worship she had for Dez though. She just looked at Dez w/ utter adoration and Dez was her ultimate happy place.

Sometimes all you need is a friend

There are some things that only another cat can give a scared rescue. Good to see these two found each other.

They would be foster fails. They are so gorgeous and adorable. I couldn’t give them up.

Their perfect family is out there and whoever is lucky enough to get these boys will be very fortunate.

They look so incredibly happy together. Definitely a rescue success story.

Beautiful transformation! A while back, I brought in two terrified, feral, hissing cats from outside, they completely transformed once they saw my friendly orange tabby. Cats are social and look to others for cues on how to act and to check safety of environment. When the feral cats saw how happy and confident and healthy my orange cat was, it made them instantly feel comfortable. And when they saw me loving on and petting him, they came nervously running over wanting love from me too. Now they are friendly, social, love bugs. Animals and people can transform with a little time and love. And a friendly, social house cat can be a great tool for helping to heal fear and aggression in a feral or stray or abused cat (spay or neuter first)

This stuff makes me cry. So lovely and the people who care for these cats like you are Angels.

Grey is absolutely beautiful!

Amazing transformation! It’s heartwarming to see how love and patience can change a life. 😻

This woman is an ANGEL.

Thank you for saving two scared kitties. You're an Angel.

Thank you for your patience with Grey, and more so for the brainwave to find him a kitty friend. They look great. Best wishes for a loving home for the bonded cats.

As long as the 2 buddies get adopted out together, everything will be alright.

Five gold stars to this lady and her resident kitty.

There isn’t an animal that can’t be saved given enough patience, resources, and understanding of what they need. Love is powerful medicine. 💕

Thank You to ALL HEROS & BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL ANGELS EVERYWHERE. ❤🇱🇷🌍🌠

This was such a sweet story! 🥹🤍🤍🤍

Thank you for taking the time and patience to help this sweet baby

You are a special person to be so patient and stay with this difficult cat. Your care made him open up to new possibilities.

This made my day. Such a wonderful transformation. Bravo to this awesome kind lady who saved these gorgeous cats.

I had had a similar experience with 2 adopted stray cats (sisters). They spent the first 2 months living under my bed (except for the necessary time to use the cat sand litter). Since then, by the time, they have become very friendly both with us and dogs. They simply needed time to adapt and feel safe

I’m glad they found this lady and each other!

Amazing story and an amazing transformation! All Grey needed was kindness, patience and love, first from his foster Mom and then from Philly. Grey and Philly MUST be adopted together! 😇😇😇🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🤪💗🏠

Wow you stuck with him and that makes a whole lot of difference many people wouldn’t I’m so proud that you did and the other little kitty got a soul mate, believe me you did a great job 👏

You're a goodess, oh an ear infection is painful, love from Montreal and thank you very much! 😊

What a lovely story, how much we need to treat our furry companions with kindness

Animals are like babies. Babies can’t speak just like animals can’t. Yet, you don’t see parents throwing babies out in the street when they’re hurt, sick or having a bad day. Fur kids deserve patience and care too. 🥺🥲

Thank you angels ❤❤❤

we all seem to yearn for love and understanding. glad this little one was able to find a friend when he so desperately needed one

He was probably in pain Thank You for helping him! ❤🌠

I had 4 rescue/saved cats in my house for 16yrs. I have one remaining, he is 21. I have always had rescued cats. But the one who bonded with me the most was a very troubled 5yr old male I adopted from a no kill shelter. 5 previous homes he had. He left us at the old age of 20 or so....he guarded me in the bathroom, no joke. He would not let ANYONE into the toilet if I was there. He sat at the door like a bodyguard. I miss him.

I’ve had 4 feral cats. With a little time and patience they all have become sweet, gentle fur babies. One lived to 17 and the other to 19. The other two are currently 3 years old. 😻

I’m so happy to see someone as kind and patient as you with an obviously frightened little creature. Some people are just insistent that the cat has to immediately warm up to them. And if they are frightened and hiss and puff up their fur, they think the cat is aggressive and a mean cat. They don’t think that ALL living creatures need a little time to feel comfortable with their new surroundings. Like people, we all come to every “relationship” with a history. Good and bad. Cats, Dogs, Horses etc! We all need “someone” we can bond with. And you were so wonderful using the stick to gently touch Grey and talk tenderly with him. Letting him find his own way. And discovering his new friend was such a blessing for both of them. It’s just beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful 😻

Every feral cat can be saved. It just takes time and patience. All will eventually come around

Love conquers all.

Lease keep them together no matter what

Bravo, magnificent job 🤗

Beautiful work, this lady❤

I worked with a cat like that for 18 months. He had been surrendered because his elderly owner had to go into assisted living. He was so traumatized by the whole surrender. He was so aggressive he bit a volunteer who needed stitches. No one could even remove food from his cage or change his litter box. I sat outside his cage for months on end, not looking at him and just talking out loud. It was such slow progress, but eventually he came out of the cage, although he ran back in as soon as I looked at him. It got to the point, finally, where he jumped on my lap and allowed me to pet him. Eventually, he was adopted into a really good home.

It took me 2 months once to get through to an abandoned cat who felt so unsure and betrayed by people. I did it by feeding them and then leaving them alone, no pressure, but I spent as much time as possible out in the yard so they could observe me and it helped a lot. The kitty “came with” a house I rented. She stayed in yard, front and back but mainly in the back, fenced yard. After she accepted me I got her into a good cat rescue. ❤

Philly Pokey was winking at the camera, was like "thanks for the friend, I love you guys." Seeing them both smiling and doing that head tilt was so nice.

LOVE!!!

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for what you do🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

GREY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TABBY CAT ……..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sweet cattens.

Awesome 👏

Cute Cats!! ♥️🙏

So beautiful!

Beautiful 😻 thank you for sharing 🙏.

You and the boys are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many. Thank you for this heartwarming story and for what you do!

Really Great! Bravo to you for all your hardwork, love and patience. I hope you keep them.

Great story. Thanks for your love and patience. Grey is a pretty boy.

Such a sweet story

Ma sha Allah MashAllah

♥ Awesome work that you do helping these cats.

I am so grateful that there on people on this planet with the patience of a saint with rescue animals, and yes unfortunately with people. 😊😻😻😻 What a wonderful vid. TY TY

So cool their transformation.

Thank you

Wonderful story. Yes, even the most wild cat can become a nice pet. I have adopted many stray cats and once they are spayed or neutered, and given love they will become wonderful pets.

Yes, I am in your house eating your food but don't touch me! I had a cat like that; couldn't give her away for the world.

Cat is very cute ❤

Wow!! Beautiful ❤

Love this story!!❤❤ ty

Thank you.

Brilliantly well done, on all fronts. Yes, it is true, "some cats will be saved, and some not", because there are lots of feral cats out there and resources are limited, and we have to be practical about what can be done and what, reasonably speaking, cannot. You persevered and were inspired to introduce Philly Pokey (great name, btw), and you also understand that both Grey and Philly Pokey will be adopted as a pair, which makes complete sense. I'm humbled by your experience, your compassion, and your level-headed assessments of what can be reasonably be done in cases like these. Keep up the great work!

Fabulous job⭐

Wonderful ❤

Like anything he just needed some 💖

❤❤❤

He opened his heart and found love!

Awe poor baby!!!!!!!

I hope they get adopted together!

Such a heartwarming story ❤ All of my cats have been former colony cats who accepted other felines before humans. My resident cats play a big role in socializing newcomers. It's a lot of work initially, but pays off in the long run.

OMG there's another cat here - freeze frame at 115 - perfect timing with the audio narration. Feral cat turns and literally says, OMG, there's another cat here! I do read lips, EPIC

Things like ear infection can be very painful, and that's why they're aggressive.

Yeah, that was a tough rescue. I think the winning ingredient was that the Angry One, the Tabby, was a boy. Tom Cats look for buddies. If it were a female, well, the girls can be intrinsically a lot more territorial. I once had a Rescue blow up in my face. I was trying to bring in a female feral from the parking lot, a year after I had some success bringing in Calico Peggy who had been the previous Parking Lot Cat, probably the mother of Angie who I tried to rescue. I gave Angie her own room, but she would find or make some cat cave, being territorial against me. After a month Angie began coming out more and so I took down the barrier and she had run of the whole apartment. Calico Peggy wanted nothing to do with it, and so one time I opened the door and Peggy took off. I had loved Calico Peggy, and so I threw Angie out with the hopes that Peggy would come back. So I lost them both. Yeah, Feline Rescue is difficult and sometimes you lose. It'll make me cry to tell you, but, well, the cats can lose hard too. Peggy died. She had moved down to a territory including an Apartment Complex managed by a Korean Lady, and I was once Peace Corps Korea and so I remembered some Korean, and the Lady knew some English. Peggy was in her Territory now and so she would put out food, and encourage me to take Peggy back, but Peggy would escape. Then tragedy struck... Peggy got her back broke somehow, and the Korean Lady came and told me. I took Peggy to the Vets to euthanize her, but she died in my arms while we waited. For a while I was feeding Angie outside, but I think that Angie got shut into an empty apartment by work men, and must have starved to death. Yeah, if only they had both gotten along, they'd be part of my multicat household today, but females come with problems. But I really did love those two and so it breaks my heart.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That look at 4:11, too cute

It's like Pokey was Grey's interpreter.

We have a grumpy cat that hissed and growled at everything... except her kitten brother. We had to keep them together, but he died of a kidney disease... its taken her a while to warm up to the new addition we adopted from the shelter, but its definitely not the same bouncing off the walls playing at all hours of the day relationship anymore.

❤❤❤❤❤

The home cat told the newby the news; no more prowling the streets eating garbage, and a warm blanket to sleep. Then newby realized it was cool.

I wish they woukf show their home

I love these sassy babies

If those two kitties are not "adoption fails" I hope they can be rehomed together in their forever homes...

Governor Noem: sweats aggressively 😓

AWWWWWWW

What happen to Bop? 1:10

Bop told Grey that Jen was one of them and she could be trusted and Grey was flabbergasted. And then Bop told Grey that he should make friends with Philly Pokey because they seemed perfect for each other. So that's what Grey did after Jen introduced him to Philly Pokey. And now Grey snuggles with Philly Pokey and Jen, too, because now Grey knows that Jen's OK after all.

Once you regain the trust of an animal the only person who can lose it is you

❤

🐈❤

They're so precious but I REALLY wish those sweet boys didn't have to go through another traumatic experience with moving into yet another home. They don't understand that they're in foster care and they have given their hearts to their current caretaker. While I understand being able to "foster fail" isn't possible all the time, in this case there is no way I could let them go, they would be MINE. And that is why I can no longer foster cats. 😄

Don't believe feral cats are angry cats but extreemly afraid for humans

His fear is telling about the people
