That’s funny, when I bathe my cat the trust level does not increase.

My heart just broke at the poor shape of Apollo at the start of the video. So glad he got rescued and this tale had a happy ending.

We don't need people like them... We need to be like them🙌

Seeing animals come back from the bottom of the barrel and making a full recovery is always a heartwarming feel.

Get that boy an eyepatch, he'll be the biggest feline badass in town

Get him a killer eyepatch and a scarf, and he'll get all the girl's attention. He's so handsome, so happy he has a better life.

My mom & I bought a double house on the outskirts of our city that had an unusually high stray and feral cat population. For more than 20 years we have been caring for them, getting them fixed, finding them homes, providing food for the truly frightened ones. It's been a wonderful, if expensive, experience that we wouldn't change for the world. We love each and every one of them. ❤😊

You didn’t just do a good thing for him. You did a good thing for mankind. Thank you for that.

"I know it's not your fault " - that's the kindest words ever spoken by mankind

He looks like he's defeated ever end game boss and is now in retirement. Looks like an absolute warrior.

Losing vision with his last eye so he couldn’t find food and everything became dark so he hid. You guys are so amazing for this, He really needed you guys to save him from pain and fear. We all should strive to be more like them!!! ❤❤❤

This is heart wrenching. Thank God for people as yourselves. Daily I see so many starving neglected kittens, even grown cats. Right now I'm responsible for 6 cats left to starve. I love each and every one of them. I just can't save them all unfortunately. God bless you.

The people who help animals or any living creature, whether they are having issues or need help, are literal angels sent from heaven

When you guys took him in, he just "let it happen". He probably thought he's going to get eaten and gave up. Poor creature didn't have any idea how beautiful his life was going to be from there.

I can't imagine how wonderful it must feel after suffering alone for so long to have people take care of you and give you all the love you never got before 😭

I couldn't believe Apollo could become so beautiful....your constant care and love has changed him to become a new cat. He looks so handsome now. Thank you for your care and support.

It’s a special place in heaven for people who rescued these hopeless lost animals

It's people like this that brings hope for the human race

That poor baby…. He had one hell of a glow up. What a gorgeous healthy boy!

No animal should ever have to suffer like that.😢I’m glad you rescued, cared for him, gave him a furever fur home!❤️ Give him 1 billion kisses!❤️🐈

The noises he made when he was caught were so heartbreaking. I'm happy he got the chance to have a better life 💕

He looked so so very exhausted at the beginning of the video. The gradual change in him is so heart warming.

These people who save these animals are angels

The people who helped these cats are truly amazing

I adopted a Cyclopes, no idea how he lost his eye, he was a stray, now he's a retired housecat and seems to love a life of luxury. His biggest concern now seems to be why his breakfast is 10 minutes late.

This is why I hate when people hate cats because of how “hateful” they are. Every cat I’ve met for the first time has been so sweet and loving. A cat CAN be hateful, but they usually have their reasons.

I have my mom's feral cat that she worked with for 8 years to gain his trust. When we first took him to the vet he had every parasite known to man and severe ear infections from mites.Our vet said he would not have lasted much longer without medical care. He was later also hit by a car and my brother paid to have his leg set and to have him hospitalized for a month for bandage changes. My mom passed away last year and I just couldn't leave him at her house that was being sold, so I took him but I'm not allowing him to roam. He now lives in an enclosure that includes artificial turf, a pool shed with her canvas chair and quilt, a tunnel to hide in and my husband built him a wire enclosed condo with a ramp where he can watch the world go by. It took 8 years to get him where he trusts enough to be pet, brushed, and scratched. My mom and brother did an amazing job with him. I have my zero gravity chair in the enclosure and he loves me to just be in the enclosure with him. After his brushing and scratches, he plops down next to the chair and purrs. I so wish he could trust enough to sit on my lap or be held but I respect his limitations.

Seems like I keep coming back to see this sweet kitty get rescued and find love and happiness.😺💙💜🧡💖

imagine being blind and helpless not being able to voice out the help that you've wanted, he relied the human who help him so much, sorry i'm gonna cry

I've never seen a cat with such beautiful colours. Soft vanilla white with a cute pink nose. So cute!

He is so gorgeous. You brought him around to looking so fluffy and full and healthy. I'm so happy for him!

what a handsome boy! so cute, im glad he is with these people and doing so much better 🙏🏼❤

It took 3 years for my feral cat Gracie to come around but now that she has I'm her human. Guys I'm a 43 year old man who didn't want an animal especially a feral cat but here I am killing it as a Cat Dad. She sleeps with me every nite and makes muffins on me all day everyday. It's hard to believe that I told my daughter we couldn't keep her at first. What was I thinking? I friggin' love my kitty cat 🐱

This people are the reason why I still have faith in humanity

these acts of kindness counterbalance the hate and the evil things we sometimes see in the world - a thousand thankyou !

I am so very glad that they decided they were his 'forever' family and not his 'foster' family!

God bless the people who do such kindness towards animals who cannot even express thier pain👍😇

I found an old cat hanging around our backyard, but could never convince him to come to me. We put out food and water for him and he continued to hang around. In February it hit -20 and I went out looking for him and finally got him. Brought him inside for the night…he never went outside again except when I took him to the vet to get checked. He was neutered, blind in one eye, and declawed front and back. Obviously a dumped pet since we have no neighbors. Vet said he was about 10-12 years old. For a year he lived the life of luxury and love until kidney disease got him.

I am crying. Thank you so much for being so kind

I bawled at his sad little mews when he was getting his first meds 😭

For all those wondering. The way they held him with his neck is 200% ok it’s how mothers hold them as kittens.

“You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.” -Paul McCartney

Bless you for doing all that for Apollo! He looks amazing now! 😊

He deserved much love and respect I'm emotional Seeing how hurt the baby are

“I know he’s got crystal blue eyes under there.” Apollo: *mew*

I adopted a traumatized cat who lost its owner to COVID and went through some hard times afterward. She was super timid and aggressive but after a few months of careful, patient work she's a little ball of love. I highly recommend rescuing senior cats from shelters.

He melted my heart. His noises when he was first caught seemed to say "help me, please". He is beautiful and blessed because you cared. Thank you ❤️

"You have to be really patient" - Yes, that's the key. All non-trivial problems require patience and hard work, and, of course in this case, the love that you have for these animals. Speaking for myself only, you set an example that I can follow. Thank you for all that you do!

I don’t understand why anyone would down vote this, it is beautiful and heartwarming.

Looks pretty badass with the one eye. Would consider calling him Odin.

Thanks alot of yu all kind people

I'm glad that you rescued this kitty.

I rescued a 1 eyed feral Tom cat. We called him Butterscotch. He lived with us for almost 10 years. He's now resting under a marker in our back yard. He was such a gentle soul. ❤️

The world is not as bad as I thought it was. Thank you

Beautiful people who worked tirelessly to save a beautiful cat!!

SOME HUMANS ARE WORTH HELPING. BUT ALL ANIMALS ARE DEFINITELY WORTH HELPING ❤ WELL DONE ❤

As Apollo’s health increased, he looked like a totally different cat! It’s crazy how human intervention can change so much, wether it be positive or negative.

I'm so glad compassionate human beings like these exist.

He looks so happy now 😃 👏

Wow, it is so awesome how much love you are giving this sweet baby, thank you for saving him 💖

Apollo had a tough start but he’s found his wonderful humans now.

The time and energy these people put into rescuing these broken and forgotten creatures is what real love is. These are the kind of people that make the world a better place.

You wouldn't believe it's the same cat...he is ADORABLE xx

Cats of San Bernardino County is the Rescue Group- they do amazing work! PLEASE support them❤

The "miau" hurts so bad. Can't stop crying

Im not a cat guy but his cries when he got caught and she was talking to him just about broke me!

I love how ppl like her help stray cats especially if they have health conditions it makes my heart warm and happy🥺❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'll admit I probably would have named him Odin due to the eye. He looks almost exactly like my grandmother's old cat Beaker and I'm getting nostalgic. Beaker was abused before she got him and he couldn't meow, only "beak" but he was the snuggliest furball I've ever known.

oh god, his little mews when they first captured him had me in tears. i'm so glad he has a home now, and i'm so grateful to all the people trying to do the same for other animals like apollo

Wow what a beautiful story...and a hard one. I'm grateful that they kept Apollo. He didn't need another journey. Thank you to the angels who rescue. It gives more hope to our fragile world. Hugs to everyone.

Thank you for your kindness!

“His senses was elevated so he could hear me” *aggressive rustling*

His little meows when they were first treating him broke my heart

His 😊 smile after she called him “big healthy boy” was priceless!!!❤

What an emotional transformation!! this is what makes rescue so amazing. The lady in this video is a real rescue veteran for who I have an incredible amount of admiration.

His little cries in the beginning made me cry.

Such a handsome boy.. his little meeps melt my heart everytime.

Вы молодцы, продолжайте, чем больше хороших людей, тем лучше, котам нужно ваше тепло

Angel baby-you are safe and loved now.Thank you for saving this angel baby❤❤❤

For a feral cat its shocking that he allowed them to flip him on his back. Some house cats don't even let you do that. He is gorgeous

I rescued a feral cat once. That boy had a damn hole in the middle of his eye. Veterinarian wanted to stitch it up. I decided against it. I knew about the regenerative capabilities of cats. We waited and watched, if it would get any worse. Luckily, it didn't. Instead, it healed. The wound in the eye became smaller and smaller until it was gone. All that was left behind, was a small, whitish scar. I imagine what would be if we would've stitched it up. He would be running around with one perfectly healthy eye behind a stitched-up eyelid. This is no advice. I can imagine that a wounded eye could also kill your kitty. But always keep an eye on your options and make wise decisions for your animal.

So glad there are people who do this for our animals. I’m so glad Apollo got through. Thank you.

He's so healthy 🤗💕

My cat whenever I tried to bath him: "Great danger and suffering should fell upon the ones who cleansed me with this devastating liquid"

It seems like he actually smiled. poor little thing all better now.

this was a great story with a beautiful outcome. that poor kitty looked horrible n I can't imagine how hard his life was.. everyone involved in this rescue needs to be applauded for doing such a wonderful job.. Apollo looks so much happier n I'm glad he didn't lose both eyes.. now he can live out the rest of his days being a beloved n very special house kitty.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

a lot of respect for all who do this almost sacred work.. i have rescued cat at home. if i could (space) i'll definitely had much more.. you are an inspiration

I "bought" a cat from an old drunk, who said if I didn't give him money he would just kill smash the cat against the wall. Seven years later my cat is still afraid of men and hides under the bed when guests come. Otherwise - THE NICEST AND KINDEST ANIMAL EVER

He was not a feral cat. He was very abused by humans which made him fearful. Then he was dumped. He was out there for a long time. Bless you for saving him.

This one is a tough watch.... definitely shed a tear. So glad he was saved. Seeing the chunky boy at the end of the video is hard to believe it is the same cat!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="264">4:24</a> "Hey sexy boyy" Apollo: 👁👄

"He's our boy now". That was so reassuring. God bless you all

No words to express ,your kindness and eagerness to save stray animals.!!!🐾🏘️💖🌾💕💞👏🐈🐈🐈🐈🏠☘️😺

The way the cat was crying when they were treating the mange broke me.

I rescued a cat in terrible condition several years ago. After the vet did what she could, I brought her home. For the first year or so she was spooked if you walked up behind her. When she showed up in our neighborhood she was declawed and neutered, so she had been someone's pet. Fast forward 18 months and a friend looked at her and said ' why she's a himalayan kitty!' and we realized that she was. Had her now for 5-6 years and she is a hoot. She plays like a kitten even tho she is 11 or so. Her coat is lovely and she a high maintenance princess, goes to her groomer every 4 weeks to keep her coat beautiful. In the last year, she decided to become a lap cat. She had never sat on us before but suddenly that's where wants to be A LOT. I would never have expected her to be a very attractive cat but she fooled us! Best personality of any cat we have ever had - I see why owners of Himmys will often adopt more of that breed even tho they DO demand a lot of grooming and brushing and bathing - their personalities are so much fun, the high maintenance is well worth it!

My mum and dad rescued a cat like this and they called it Winky as it looked like it was winking

The world truly needs more people like this. Thank you for helping that poor boy

You don't know how incredible you guys are helping this hopeless kitten becomes a better life for him, so proud of you guys.

His faint little meows when they started brushing off the mange off made me choke up. They were faint cries for help which these blessed people gave him. Thank goodness he'll never have to worry about it ever again.

As a cat person literally surrounded by cats right now I want to thank you random people for helping the kitty and thanks for posting this video
