Good news! Lincoln arrives home from the hospital, and then flies the drone into a tree.

Welcome to Our French Chateau!
We are Amanda and Lincoln. With our two daughters and pets in tow, we moved across the world from our home in San Francisco California to buy and restore a petite chateau on 40 acres in the beautiful French countryside of Brittany.
Our channel documents our triumphs and failures in restoring the 19th-century Chateau de Lingourdy. We plan to return the gardens, cottages and barns to their former glory (on a tight budget) and open them up for events and luxurious stays to the public. So if you're interested in observing daily life through the eyes of an American family whose French language skills are quite lacking and who have amassed a menagerie that includes cats, dogs, and donkeys. Please join us...
Help us humanely trap the feral cats on our property. We will have them spayed and neutered to control the out-of-control cat population. Any donations are appreciated! gofund.me/920eb2a6
The SPCA here is SPA there is also the Brigitte Bardot Association...you'll have to google your neck of the woods...
Remember to have the tip of one ear cut off (right or left?) so that you can easily visually identify already neutered and desexed cats. ❤
Just donated. Love you both and your dedication to rescue. My TNR’ed former stray agrees but has decided to do nothing about it as it is treat time 😂
G- using B acct- I love that take care of animals. I am a profession fundraiser by trade. You might want to add the cost of a procedure and asked people to sponsor a procedure.
we have the same problem with cats … all started with one cat which adopted us … and at one point, we found ourselves feeding 11 cats … because the first ones delivered many kittens at our place or delivered at some place and brought them to us one by one … we sterilised only 2 at our expenses … at the moment, we have 7 cats … 5 males, 2 females (mother & daughter, mothers of all the others). None of them are inside our home, they stay in one of our buildings with a cat door and baskets, cushions etc and food … we feed all of them morning and evening … anyway, we love animals, but our cat budget became very high, I must say … So, we stopped sterilising … But, we are anxious waiting at any moment to have more kittens … We don’t know what to do either … In the closest city to us, the Mairie sterilised the ones which are in the city, but we are in the middle of nowhere, in Côtes d’Armor/Bretagne … not easy, when kittens are born in your buildings or brought to you by « your cats » how not to take care of them ? they are soo cute …
Lincoln seems to be getting thorough and reliable medical care. Thank goodness for national health care where it exists! Here’s to good health around!
So glad Lincoln is home. Bless you for spaying and neutering those cats, Amanda. You’re a good egg! Happy to contribute.
Thank you Michelle!
I have a sister-in-law in France. The medical system seems to work incredibly fast and well. And you have complete coverage as well. Can you imagine your bill in the states for 7 days + tests!! I'm so happy to hear Lincoln is going to be ok. He needs to rest and then get at it!! Your donkeys are the cutest things in the world, I love them. Happy spring days to you both.
Glad Lincoln is home and well and Bravo on the Cat Control!
Lincoln, I am glad you are well and out of the hospital. You are a sweet, loving, and patient man. Send you love and light.💛✨
Hope Lincoln's ok and that they find the source of his symptoms. Just knowing would take so much pressure off. Take it easy Lincoln.
I have heard the same, even here. I cannot imagine doing that to such a helpless creature when in the US there are ways. I have helped fund a few kittens I rehomed, to get their first shots and spayed or neutered. So glad Lincoln is on the mend!!
Oh no Lincoln, I’m sorry about your hospital stay, but happy they haven’t found anything serious. Prayers for good results on your upcoming tests. I’m glad you got your drone without too much damage. Amanda, you are a good soul for taking care of the cat population. I’m happy to donate. xx
Thank you Stephanie :)
So glad Lincoln is ok! I can't imagine what you were going through last week. Bravo on helping the cats! We need more Amanda's in the world.
😊
Humour is an amazing health benefit ❤
Lincoln Please take care, blood colts are no laughing matter which I'm sure you know.
Keep us updated and be well.
So happy you are taking on the cat challenge. You two have such kind hearts. Hope some of the locals will help out as well. My mom lived in a country home where kittens inhumanly killed and she suffered the memories until the end of her days.
Lincoln hope you are soon back to feeling great.
Thank you. Gosh, that's terrible :(
Yes! Spay Neuter!!! Thank you, Amanda, for the animal advocacy and PSA. And positive thoughts for Lincoln's health. 💜
Lincoln….my friend had a similar experience to you. They felt it was a side effect of the “jab.” He’s fine now though. I think renovating that wonderful chateau is physically taxing so please take it easy. I love watching you & Amanda lovingly restore that place and take care of all the animals. Wishing you both health, wealth and mobility 😉
Good to hear Lincoln is ok.
Hope all goes well with Lincoln’s future tests…I am sure a whole week in hospital was both anxiety producing and boring.
Super boring!
Oh NO!!! I am so sorry! A week in the hospital! Horrible. Dear God I hope he’s going to be OK.
He is in such good shape. Thank heavens his scans are clear. What a terrible scare for you all. You are laughing, amazing! You are made of stronger stuff than me. But he seems good and looks great! Hope the leg scans are good, too.
You guys need to take it a little bit easier, take a day a week to enjoy where you live. Big hugs!
Great to see you back Lincoln and glad that there was nothing majorly wrong....👍. It is wonderful that you have set up this gofundme for the animals as countries should be more proactive in doing this. I have seen a number of tv shows from the US, showing vets going around to communities with a "Vet Bus" neutering/spading dogs and cats for free. (Alaska and somewhere in California). I also saw a show from Jerusalem, Israel doing the same.
Hope Lincoln gets back to 100% real soon!
Lincoln praying for your health and no more hospital
Glad Lincoln is back home and oké. I would have contributed for your facelift as well!
🤪
Thoughts and prayers that all goes well for Lincoln... Bravo👏👏👏 for caring about the cats.
I love cats and totally support your feral project. I donated with my 2 cats overseeing the process.❤
Lincoln, speedy recovery.
Wonderful idea to catch, spay & release feral cats.
Cracked up with your humour, Amanda!

Thanks Rikki!
Well thank goodness you don’t have to bury him in the garden just yet! 😂 Feel better soon and glad you got a full medical. 🥰

We had a similar problem with feral cats as we live next to a farm. In the UK there is a charity called cat protection league who will provide cages to catch the cats and will neuter them and mark their ear to identify they are neutered. They will also try to rehome them, attempting to socialise them, if that isn't possible rehome in a safe environment. Worth checking if there is a similar charity in France as they have arrangements with local vets. We currently have 2 feral who are soppy pets and one who is neutered and registered to us but refused to be socialised so lives outdoors but hangs around the garden and cries to be fed. We managed to rehome 3 litters before we managed to catch her, also with the help of the charity managed to rehome the father of our indoor tabby and the outdoor cat and our neighbours have all adopted feral kittens and have trapped others and had them speed thanks to this charity. We donate to the charity to help continue their work. Will make a donation, hope your appeal is successful or that you can find a similar charity.
Thanks!
wow, French hospital food...amazing. UK hospital food is totally inedible and unrecognisable!
Amanda, I was a licensed Spay Neuter Feral Trapper in Atlanta. But, I did not have to pay! Just the work of trapping. I did 47 cats, four or five at a time. How much does it cost in France. There was. Low Cost Clinic in Atlanta, $25.00. Dog cat whatever. You are so smart to do this!
DONATED! Bless you!
Amazing you didn't have to pay! Females can cost about 150 euros plus other costs, etc. I get a discount if it's more than one. Thank you for donating!
My Mother started a non-profit in USA to help strays find homes in Mexico. She still helps run it from the States now that she moved back here. It's called Katty Korner. They did a great interview with her on YT with a local San Diego/Mexico reporter. It is very rewarding to help save these cats lives. They sterilize them and vaccinate them and try to find them all homes. It a labor of love for sure! Maybe you could get a vet on board to discount. This is what my mom did. She went around and found a couple of vets to donate their time. They take care of them till they are healed and then she focuses on finding them homes.
Wishing you well! Take it a bit easier! No toxic materials in the Chateau. Switch off WiFi as much as possibile! Especially at night.
Quelle inquiétude cela a dû être lorsque Lincoln a été hospitalisé ! J'espère que les autres tests seront bons aussi. Un grand merci Amanda pour vous occuper des chats proches de chez vous. La stérilisation est bien la première chose à faire, bravo ! N'y a t'il pas une association proche de chez vous qui pourrait payer les frais du vétérinaire ? Normalement, des associations de ce genre existent un peu partout en France et elles remboursent les stérilisations (j'ai dû le faire à des chats errants près de chez moi, et une association a payé les opérations et soins de 5 chats). Encore merci de vous occuper de cela, vous êtes formidable Amanda !
So happy Lincoln is back home, it's some of the best medicine! now to play Dr and mend the drone! Amanda, I am an Advocat for all cats and will joyfully contribute to your effort in population control. I have 4 rescues myself (would have more if I owned a Chateau!! 😉) the thought of drowning kittens makes me want to cry and puke, at the same time... Anyway, THANK YOU FOR MAKING A HUMANE DIFFERENCE!!
Thank you!
It’s truly truly sad to know this.. 🐱
Welcome back, Lincoln!
So glad Lincoln is home...don't climb the tree!!! Good health to you all!!
The allay is to die for.
Hello Amanda. I am happy that Lincoln is home and I am sure that you are too. We have the same problems in our area with feral cats. There are 2 that have decided to move in with us. They are so timid. Our county has changed the law. So now there are a lot of feral cats in our area. The law has changed so we can not spade or neuter feral cats. It is not good.
I am pleased that the drone is in working order. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘 ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Doris. How strange that you have a law like that!
When I was in hospital (nothing serious) there was food, dish of ostrich, the big bird. That was quite amazing.
😐
Sending prayers for Lincoln…sounds like a timely rest is in order and hoping the Doctors figure out what’s going on…scary when health issues arise…so enjoy your humor thru all of this and your compassion towards animals….🙏
Welcome home!
So glad Lincoln is home, you must take good care Lincoln. How cute are the donkeys/. As an animal lover I so appreciate your kindness to help all animals and your idea of spaying and nurturing the feral cats. Will donate. Take care of yourself too🕊🌸
Thank you Mary :)
Poor Lincoln. Hope he is 100% soon. I notice he has developed another ‘tool’. Very effective, too. All the best
Good luck with your upcoming hospital scans , 🤞
Oh Lincoln that sounds scary, glad you are OK ❤
So glad Lincoln is out of the Hospital , Praying for him to have a full recovery , Yall are too cute together , And glad your trying to help the wild cat population there , God Bless .
You guys crack me up, wishing Lincoln at speedy recovery.
Espero que los exámenes restantes de Lincoln estén bien y se recupere por completo. Mucha fuerza para ti Amanda por todo lo que debes afrontar estos días. Les deseo lo mejor, pido a Dios que la familia siga completa, unida y feliz.
😊
Good to see Lincoln home with his family Amanda . You are so right laughter is the best medicine. Great about the go fund me you set up. Love cats and agree completely about spaying & neutering them.
Wishing you all the best & that Lincoln receives a good report on his test. PS my husband is a veterinarian , wish I could blink him over there to help with the cats!!!! 😊
Thanks Mary! You're lucky to have a vet husband - maybe I can convince Lincoln to go to med school :)
Lol
I agree. Humour can help with most difficult occasions.... particularly black humour. Fingers crossed that all future tests prove negative and that all is resolved.
😊💀
Great video 👍 Lincoln so lucky to be in the hand's of the French medical system, I hope he moves back into work and drink plenty of red wine supposed to thin the blood 😊
7:50 Thank you for setting up the GoFundMe page for the cats. I will be contributing. I encourage you to put up occasional reminders on your channel.
In the commune where I live in Finistere the Mairie recently made an attempt to gather up as many of the feral cats as they could and spay and neuter them. I was so pleased they chose to do this rather than some other more extreme, inhumane measure.
Yay….Lincoln’s alive!! I hope he’s feeling allot better. Aren’t brain MRI’s horrible? I hate having my head bolted down to the bed while the magnets bang 360° about one’s body! As an animal scientist it is my responsibility to ‘thank you’ for getting involved controlling animal populations. Cheers, Doc ❤
😺
Thank goodness that Lincoln is mostly ok after his trip to the hospital!! Having spent the last 10 years of my life, a stroke, then two different types of cancer....getting back on my feet now (I sure hope) I can well understand how Lincoln was feeling. Wow, they sure feed your well at a French Hospital!! Except for beef tongue!!! THAT should not be on any menu!! I love how Dominic was very interested in what was going on with you both when you were trying to retrieve the drone and I don't think he believe that you didn't have carrots, Amanda!! lol
Glad to hear you're better :)
Our area human group gives out vouchers for spaying and neutering from our local vet. He is our vet too great guy to offer this free service to our community
Poor Lincoln, he needs a break 🫶🏻
So glad to see Lincoln - stay healthy and well - we missed you - thanks for helping the cats !!!!
Been watching ur channel for awhile on my husbands utube- we lived in SF-miss it but not the same today. Scary but so awesome Lincoln you are well and ok
Oh, poor Lincoln! I hope he'll get well soon.
So happy Lincoln is on the mend. Great idea about a go fund me for the cats.
As an animal rescuer, specifically cats & sometimes dogs, I am very grateful to you, Amanda and Lincoln, for doing this for those feral cats. You are examples to follow. Gosh, I love your channel!
So glad to hear that the hospital took such good care of Lincoln.
I will pray that everything is ok with Lincoln. It's a good thing to help get those feral cats neutered/spayed. Thank you.
😊
Please take care of yourselves. Good luck with the fund raising, a very worthwhile cause, wish I could help. BW from Australia xx
Flowers beautiful Amanda. Lincoln, so sorry you're not feeling well. So thankful you're home. Donkeys loved the extra activities out there. They were a good support. Please let us know the outcome of extra test on Lincoln. You really are sweet and congenial and great diy guy. Amanda, you're strong and I'm sending love and best wishes to you.
Wow for the hospital food in France. I'm speechless no such thing in U. S.
You should see the menu in French kindergartens😂 The French knows how important being well fed is. It's Culinary luxury for anyone outside France
@@primrosedahlia9466 I can't imagine. The French have always done it right. Food first...life and joy followed. Maybe thats why I'm do drawn to them all my life
The machine was broken...
@@OurFrenchChateau sorry about drone propellers. Hope it's fixed soon.
@@OurFrenchChateau animals are very lucky to have you for a caregiver.
We have clinics here that spay nueter stray cats and release them. Free of charge. Vet care went way up. It cost lot more to take care of animals here now. My friend has over 40 cats she feeds and cares for. She's in rural area. She gets lot discounts at TSC. I have 5 dogs, one tomcat, 4 birds, tons of wild birds fed here daily 365. It's expensive.
So great to see Lincoln back and feeling better! We love cats.. such a wonderful idea on trying to control the population of them! Prayers to Lincoln.. keep us posted!
Oh my gosh Amanda and Lincoln. I hope the health incident is behind you and you’ve gotten a clean bill of health. I think your Go Fund Me project is a worthy one. I wish you all the luck on your endeavor.
Thanks :)
There is a men that can rescue the drum from the tree. Stephanie from chateau diaries or La Land and other chateaus.
I am really glad you feeling better, take it easy one thing at the time, health is the most important.
Amanda you have a great sense of humor ! Take good care of Lincoln he is a keeper:) You guy's are very kind and caring ,with all you have on your plate and still take time to care for the stray cats .
OMG - when medical hits you out of the blue, it really, really makes you think. Life can change in an instant. Praying for you all - God Bless!!
Thank God he is back home🙏please keep you Faith up and God will take care you and keep you healthy for years to come♥️😇Take care yourself and take a lot rest!
Thank God he is ok
Last October I was admitted to hospital with continuous angina. I have something called vasospastic Angina which happens most often when you are at rest, even sleeping and an attack can last anywhere from 5minutes to an hour and sometimes I get continuous tracks on and off all day or for days. This happened last October and I ended up being admitted, whilst there they found in one of the blood tests I had possible a possible blood clot. So on the Wednesday they started me on blood thinner injections and on the Saturday I had a CT scan which revealed I had multiple clots in both lungs. Thankfully they were only small and I just used the injections for 10 days then swapped to tablets twice a day which I’m due to finish at the end of this month when they will see how I am. You did really well to get an Echocardiogram within the same week! Here there’s a 2 year waiting list and that’s for urgent cases 😵. So whilst things are feeling daunting for you I wanted you to be assured that the prospect of blood clots can feel scary but if you treat them quickly and you follow what your Dr tells you to do….don’t be too scared to do anything….sitting still doing nothing puts you at bigger risk than some gentle exercise. I’m sure everything will be fine ❤
I have donated bit lost on Euros. I have one cat and 5 chickens who are completely free range and sleep in the plum tree. Love the video.
All best wishes to Lincoln! So sorry for the experience!
So happy to here Lincoln is fine, I fully understand the blood clot thing and how scary and boring it can be to check under the hood for all the potential areas areas affected. Good thing Frances health care covered some of the impact for you. Thanks for the spaying and neutering reminders so necessary now a days
Nice to see Lincoln came home and is resting above ground.
😆
I look forward to all your videos, can’t wait for a new one.
I'm glad Lincoln is home. I hope everything will be fine
The very worst part of any health issue is the unknown. I'm truly sorry that Lincoln and you are going through this. It sounds as though the French healthcare is on top of all the testing needed, even if their dietitian needs restraint 😉Sure beats hospital food in the States however!!
I am a big proponent of TNR. Good luck and if you trap any that look like they're nursing be sure to let them go back to their kittens for a few weeks before spaying.
Ohhhhh, I hope he’s ok!
I am praying your scan comes out well Lincoln and I am so happy you are home. Tongue is delicious with horseradish sauce! I am glad the drone is okay too.
Thank goodness Lincoln is okay, the drone was rescued, and a process is in place to help the feral cat situation. You are wonderful people! Janice from Arkansas USA
Glad Lincoln is home and that his test results are in the clear, hope the last one was also good news. Thanks for helping out the kitties Amanda.
Welcome back home Lincoln. Hope the health issues are sorted out quickly. Bless you for trying to trap and take the feral cats to the vet. Definitely more satisfying than a facelift and lasts longer 😹😹😹
I’m so glad Lincoln is getting good care because it’s very hard to keep a good man from achieving great heights! And thank you for your info and actions re cats here in France. It’s so utterly stupid to hold onto a custom based on protecting sacrosanct balls! It’s not just á rural thing. And not just cats. Does have an intact dog make the owner more of a stud? Time to create a campaign like “Real men choose …”(Can’t think of a word that would work.)
That would be a meaningful revolution!
😂
Sending Lincoln all the best,glad all is well so far ❤
Hope things go well for Lincoln! Will remember him in my prayers! God bless!
Yes you are right humour helps, hope the rest of the tests will be good.
Interesting to hear about a French hospital and the food ! Sending good wishes Lincoln! We need you for vlogs , remember that !
I’ve got a bit of experience with “symptoms” that have no reason. Make sure they check your bloodwork for vitamin or mineral deficiencies. If you don’t already, good idea to take a multivitamin. It’s helped me with some of my “symptoms”. I think some viruses these days do things we don’t even know about! Be well!
So sorry for Lincoln's health scare and glad he is home ❤ I absolutely love y'all videos ❤ sending healing vibes
Glad you’re out of the hospital Lincoln. Hope all comes out clear.
Happy to help with the cats. Unfortunately my experience was neighbors with cats not neutered or spayed created many meals for surrounding coyotes, until I realized what was happening. Lets all jump in and help with this!
😊
I laughed out loud when you mentioned the funeral plan…..I so agree about humour being the best medicine!
Happy Lincoln is feeling better and at least Cancer free! Happy belated Easter!🕊🕊🐰🐣🐤🐦
Yay...Lincoln's alive! 😂 Glad to hear you are home and on the mend. Hearing how the cat population is handled made my jaw drop so yes to your plan to help curb the population!
I hope Lincoln recovers quickly and things get back to normal for you two asap. You are so funny. No boat, no faceflift. Ha! I hope you're able to make a nice dent in helping to control the feral cat population. Yes, having a sense of humor can help in many situations. :) Keep your spirits up. All good things come to those who wait, right? :)
How nice you to care for the animals. Bravo
The same thing happened to my Son just after Christmas.
4 days in the hospital, every test going, 14 days on a heart monitor etc.
Just got a clean bill of health last week, hoping for the same for you.
Sure hope Lincoln gets good news on his last test. I enjoy your channel so much. Good luck with your cats.
