I am a security officer and the building I patrol had a feral cat roaming around. I began feeding her and slowly over two months of gaining her trust, I finally I brought her home last week! She is thriving and I am so happy I was able to give her a new life. Her name is Calliope, Callie for short and she truly has changed my life. I am so happy to give her a whole lifetime of bliss!
Congratulations! You put in a lot of work to rescue that kitty and you are now rewarded with loving purrs. Thank you❤
Owning a cat is a gift u have two for almost 12 years now. Have fun 😇
That's brilliant mate. 😊
My best friend has a cat with that same name. She was a runt so she’s still the size of a 4 month old kitten!
You did good, man! ✔️👍🏽 You're Awesome! 🌟 Thank you.
People really don't understand the commitment when you get a pet. They're not an item they have feelings, they're living creatures.
plus I have seen people put in more effort into finding housing for their old sofa
Yes, messed up. The cat was probably waiting for his family to return
Black people struggle with responsibility
@@linewalker Yeah I can't believe it, I would kill somebody over my cat 🤷♂️
@@ssgemactv They are family.
There's no way this cat would be sleeping on my porch without me adopting him
Absolutely adorable
Same here... 😊
Same! He'd be so well fed, have a bed out there and everything haha.
I had a Blue cat sleeping in my garden, took a month to make friends as we were away for 2 weeks, but eventually I gained her trust.
She had fleas, mites in her ears, eye problems, and a hernia from when she was a kitten, she was wearing a dog anti flea collar that had rubbed the skin off her neck and she had very little hair on her rear. Advertised her and when her owner contacted us and called her 'little scabby bottom' we threatened to report them for neglect at which point they lost interest. Gorgeous loving girl who with care and treatments looked absolutely fabulous.
@@mrljgibson What absolute scumbags, glad you got her.
I agree
HOW, HOW, HOW CAN PEOPLE ABANDON THEIR PETS LIKE THIS? They just pack up their stuff, start the car, and drive away? Well, I guess that's where the angel rescuers come in. Ares is a love and I'm so glad he's with a person with real heart. Thank you! ❤
It's fairly easy.
Thank you for saying with passion how I feel. I am outraged how people can just abandon their pets like that. For crying out loud, if they don't want them even though it's cruel, just hand them over to an animal shelter so they can get another family. That poor Ares was living in hell for 2 years. I am so relived to see Ares is happy now
Because to them it is not a pet it is a thing and therefore means nothing to them
@@camillep3631 you f****** nailed it.. all of my love, time and emotional investment goes to the humans in my life
@@SalAcceturra then do not get an animal. Fairly easy solution.
So glad he found a loving home. Shame on the previous owners.
Rule number one if you move and can't take your pet with you is to
make sure it goes to a shelter or rescue place. NOT outside to survive
on it's own. What a handsome kitty.
Some people are absolutely heartless towards animals. I've known many people like this. Thank goodness, most people really love their pets!
Absolutely, a rescue or a *no-kill* shelter.
More than a million dogs are killed by shelters each year in the US.
@@a.w.thompson4001 no kill shelters often have very strict and expensive requirements, sometimes a regular shelter is peoples only option. Until we put strict breeding laws and requirements on animals, we will have issues rehoming pets and no ability to stop the mass flow of tossed away pets. Especially backyard breeders.
such a handsome kitty and totally heartbreaking he had to try and fend for himself for so long
@@d.vaughn8990 You see a stray cat, so you think you know all there is to know about that cats previous owner, whether or not that owner is even still alive. I've known many people like you, quick to judge with ears off and eyes closed.
I've ended up keeping my 3 cats from a former relationship and they're my boys, I could never get rid of them. They're like my kids. Don't know how people just abandon such loving and trusting animals...
They are for sure your kids :)
True👍👍👍👍
People who do this have no soul.
@@janejones5362 yes
Sad, who just abandons a family member like that? Disgusting. 😣
Exactly.
I hate all those precious animals are left behind..I have my mom's cat when she passed..I wouldn't leave him behind in her apartment..hes so so precious to me and my boys..
BECAUSE THEY DONT GET GOV'T MONEY EVERY MONTH FROM A CAT ONLY KIDS aka RUGRATS
Too many people do... story of my life 😂 but so sad for him 😣
In a way.... it worked out. Because if they hadn't abandoned him, he wouldn't have met this lovely young lady who most likely will give him way more love than his previous owners, who obviously didn't care for him that much. So, it actually worked out for the best, despite the difficulty he faced.
This is how I got my cat. I believe he was left behind in my neighborhood by a bunch of surfers. At first I thought he belonged to someone, but then he kept coming around, and in particular, one day he was just begging and begging to come inside. I opened the door and he walked right in. My roommate took him in as her own, but he quickly became my guy. I had him for 17 years. Great cat - I really miss him. This cat looks like a Russian Blue - such sweet cats.
There s no greater honour than
Being chosen by a cat ❤
❤
My boy is half Russian blue. He can be a little shy and apprehensive around other cats and strangers, but when he’s comfortable he’s the most cuddly cat I’ve ever met. He never bites or scratches like my other cat.
@@theknightswhosay I used to volunteer with a no kill organization, and I remember a few Russian Blues coming thorough - they were so beautiful and gentle, sweet. I wanted one, but my boy would not have liked it.
@@Purplenpinkk It was a lot of work to make him get along with my other cat. Mostly the other cat’s fault, but I had the half-Russian blue first, so he was a little hostile initially.
I can’t imagine just leaving my 2 kitties behind when I moved. They are with me forever. I’m so glad this boy got rescued.
This cat got rescued
@@neozeon2567 duh
@@neozeon2567 I will never understand people who correct something already correct
My parents got their first cat this way. My mom wanted a dog, she moved into a house who’s owners abandoned their cat barely over a year by his size and now we’re still cat people
The cat lived to a happy sixteen years

@@englishatheart So that’s all you picked up on from that beautiful story was a grammatical error? Please get over yourself.
@@BigMike_RTTV This person has been correcting everyone's grammar all over this video, from what I've seen. It is very annoying, not to mention pathetic!
Beautiful story, btw! God bless you all. 🤗
@@englishatheart It’s called autocorrect. Phone does it to me all the time.
His former family should be deeply ashamed, but they obviously don't know what shame is. I'm heartbroken over what this sweet boy suffered through, but overjoyed that there are compassionate rescuers who saved him. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful boy. Peace and blessings to all.
My feelings exactly. I hurt for him and then I feel happiness for him. I will never understand some people. So grateful for others.
But the woman actually has no idea what happened or whether or not the owners tried to do anything before moving. She only assumes that they just packed up and left without consideration. And then people like you jump on the bandwagon.
@@whanethewhip Alright, tell me what acceptable reason the owners could have for leaving without securing a safe future for their cat?
@@whanethewhip The fact the "consideration" was abandon the cat makes any arguements for what they "tried" pointless. Its not hard to place your cat in a shelter at least before you move away, even anonymously if anything. This was just selfish neglect in its rawest form.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w We'll wait 👂👂👂
I truly can’t stand people who abandon these sweet furballs
me too it's so awful
Neither can God!
He has a "plan" for such vile people !!!
Shame on his old owner, I love my cay as my own son. I haven't had more than 3 days vacation since I have my cat 😸
Same here, i got told that there were a bunch of orphaned kittens I got told the man only took the mom, not her babies basically he left them there to starve, luckily I got in contact with the lady who found them I decided to adopt 2 one for my siblings GF and her family and for my family, I got a grey tiger striped cat called Betty and her brother is named nico they love visiting each other even if they are 1 years old together they still play with each other like kittens I love my lil Betty boop like my p future kid and I will never abandon her
Tf is wromg with u ppl? pets are pets, and u can love it more then ur own child? lol
@@yondayyon4131 what the hell is wrong with you, it's called natural compassion. If you don't have it maybe you should just go off yourself so we don't have to deal with uncaring people like you
Ditto... a dog in my case. She's my baby and she comes first.
I love my cat but no where near as my son!
I'm not a pet person myself. But anyone that leaves their pet like that has a special place in hell waiting for them. Thank you for rescuing him.
Special demons are waiting for them. They are busy already but there is always room for more.
Hear. Hear.
Absolutely! 👏👏👏
I an deeply a cat person and I wholeheartedly agree. Even the devil hates people who do this. A very special place in hell awaits them.
Yeah at least do the minimum and find the animal a new home. Not the animals fault that their owners are terrible. I had a cat run up to me on my step crying like crazy and I could tell it got out from it's house...i fed it and Gave it water and posted online and the owner came. Luckily I had tuna too feed it cause the landlord won't let me have pets which suck cause I love cats.
My Teddy suffered the same fate and was abandoned. She was rescued by a wonderful lady and I adopted her. Teddy was in terrible shape, sick starving and wounded and I nursed her until she became an incredibly beautiful girl with an amazing loving character. She is gone now after her kidneys declined to function but I tried everything to save her. Her last years spent with me were amazing and she was treated like a princess, had a perfect kitty life and wanted for nothing. I wish she was still here with me. Always be kind to animals.
I can't imagine people just abandoned their cat just like that. The cat looked to be in a bad shape physically in the beginning. Glad to see he's found a new loving home. Bless your heart.
A friend of mine found a cat that had been abandoned like this at her apartment. She's been with me for seven years now and she's the love of my life! (the cat, I mean!)
😂
How heartless can you be? What is wrong with people?! Thank you for the rescue!
🐾♥️🐾
I hear these stories and I just pray there are no kids around these type of adults.
@@tracypolselli1464 I agree.
I’m sure they ended up in prison or death …. They aren’t telling you the whole story
Hello Linda how are you doing hope you're having a safe day
Are you vegan and maybe also an activist then? Because it’s not good to be a hypocrite (:
Breaks my heart to know someone left him behind like he didn't matter at all. Thankfully there were people who cared. Now he has a great forever home & will never be betrayed so badly again.
Hello Karen how are you doing hope you're having a great day
@@scotttom6552 Thank you it's improved from yesterday. Hope your day is going well.
thanks a LOT for caring so much and please read my comment
Sweet boy! I saved a feral beautiful tan/beige baby boy cat in my 20s. He was the most loving cat, the sweetest cat I've ever encountered. I only had him two years before what I thought was a sore tooth, turned out to be feline FIP...I had to let him go (euthanasia). Almost 30 years later, he's still the cat love of my life. RIP SWEET GRIFFIN 🐾🙏💓
I don't understand people. How could they just LEAVE... and not take him.!
People are so cruel. I couldn't leave my cats.
It’s heartbreaking to see how people are able to abandon their cat. 💔💔💔💔He looks exactly as one of my baby girls.
They said the owners just packed up and left. This is different from simply moving houses, you only abruptly up and leave like that when you are in grave danger. They probably assumed their neighbours would notice and do something rather than knowingly leave the poor thing in that condition for 2 whole years! Sorry, but I think THAT is the messed up part
Your children have 2 extra legs ?
Breaks my heart to hear about people just abandoning their animals......these bastards have no hearts & don't EVER DESERVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ANIMAL!!😡😡😡
I think it’s cool how animals somehow know when they’re adopted. All 4 of my rescue cats show a lot of affection and appreciation.
I would never leave my cat. She’s part of our family. When we move she goes. If we look at a place that doesn’t take cats, then we don’t consider that place. It would completely break my heart if I lost her.
Being a cat owner, I would never ever dream of moving away and leaving him behind. It's hard enough when I go on a vacation and have to leave him behind with a sitter. How can people be so cruel. If you are not able to care for your pets anymore, don't abandon them there are so many places where they can be left at. ☹️
I leave mine with family and it's STILL hard
The stress of forcing my cat to move with us killed him.
Cats love the place, not the person. Yes you play a part in the place, but major change no matter what is extremely stressful for cats.
@@MrJackira that isn't true. I have 7 cats, and 2 of them was from my old house which they lived in for 3 years, now they are 8 years old, alive and pretty happy with my other cats
I had a feral cat. I took her from NY to Vegas and back when I moved back.
@@MrJackira was it too old? either way you can look for a shelter or even online for someone to take the cat instead of just abandoning it. Not only is it cruel to the cat but it is also inconvenient in case your neighbors have pets or livestock that can be perceived as prey
Thank god for those that rescued him, and shame on those that abandoned him. My son looks exactly like him. I can't be away from him for longer than a day before I start getting anxious that he's okay, so I don't understand how people just leave them like that
Me either! Heartless
I don't understand it either.
I know! I work form home but before that I hated leaving my baby boy alone just to go to work.
I am SO glad Ares found a new family who will care for him.
> My son looks exactly like him.
wat
@@McDutchie ikr like what
The previous owners have got to be a bunch of horrible humans. Karma will come back to kick your asses.
Ares is so sweet. He's not feral but was left to fend for himself. When you communicate w/a cat they communicate back and show you so much love and funny moments, and fill your Heart. Clearly those owners didn't interact w/Ares ot they would've seen how he loves and they would Not have left him behind!
The people who left that cat behind when they moved are vile human beings( I use the term" human beings" loosely.) Thank you for rescuing him!
Mittens quote from Bolt comes to mind
“They leave declawed cat to fend for herself, wondering what she did wrong”
I agree with you Pat Marcy. Those who abandoned him are vile subhumans. I am a rescuer and see abandoned cats all the time. To those people that do this I hope that every day for the rest of their lives is filled with pain and suffering.
I always wished there was a way to mark someone for abandonment in their records so they can't purchase/adopt any animals or adopt a child in the future.
Nah, they're not vile. They just failed being human.
@@fantasy5590 I also done wish for them be in horrid pain all day
Hopefully the regret what they did and don’t let others make the same mistake
Thank you for saving this beautiful cat. Another great story!
Our cat is almost 17. We’ve had her since she was a few weeks old. I can’t fathom his pain and anguish.
I've cared for so many senior animals who were dumped by their families the second they showed infirmity. 💔 I've seen surrenders where the owners are heartbroken to see them go after finding a loving home for their aging pet, and others who gave their old pets away go buy their kids a new puppy the next day.
I rescued two boy cats from the street in Bahrain, one had a broken back leg that is now fixed. They love each other and we love them, and so happy we were able to give Lucky and Hugo a loving home.
You have to be one heartless human being to abandon any pet…. Especially that beautiful kitty. So glad he found a wonderful home
They probably aren't as heartless as they paint it to be. They were likely just as heartbroken when they could catch a cat fleeing from the flury of moving activity. Animal welfare can be horrible to deal with if you are out of state and lost a pet. But that wouldn't make a nice PR story.
@@pauldickhoff3594 they ABANDONED their cat. They are SCUM.
@@pauldickhoff3594 it really depends on what part of America you live in. I've been doing cat rescue for 20+ years. Where I grew up, you rarely saw a cat roaming around. Where I live now people throw them out like garbage and cats are everywhere. When a cat has a microchip, we can usually find out who adopted them. Typically if we can contact them, they want to surrender the cat.
Heartless people!! How could they leave this sweet boy.. I'm so glad that he was rescued and later adopted. ❤ thank you for saving his life!!!
Because they have their animals as accessories rather than for love
@@cxg101 yeah, I really wonder what kind of accessories 🧐
Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later
The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross.
By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift
People also abandoned their own kids and relatives like some of the homeless that’s lives on the street humans life more important than a animals life
I'd be careful judging the owners who left him behind. We don't really know the circumstances, and so many rescues, fosters, and shelters are full. I currently care for 24 cats because where I moved in, they had an overrun cat colony. I have spent 5 years caring for these cats, who all have Feline Herpes Virus. In five years, I have only been able to find homes for two cats. Where I live has become very uncomfortable due to crime, and I really want to move. I have no real means to move my family out of here. I love all these cats very much - but what do you do? If no one else is willing or able to help, are you so bad for putting your children before these cats? I don't think so. Do I want to be forced to make that decision? Absolutely not. But life hits is in ways sometimes where we can't cover all our bases and we walk away hurt and defeated - the last thing we need is for people to start shaming and blaming. In fact, here I am. I have a ton of cats that need a good home. Want to help?
Don't give him up like those other 'caring' people did. 🥰
No worries--she won't.
Same situation in my parents’ neighborhood. People moved away and left their cat behind. He’s so smart and has such a huge personality that there are 7 families on the street who make sure he’s well cared for. And by consensus, his name is now Little Freddy Fraker.
If they care for him why not fully adopt him? Streets are damgerous..
Thankyou ! Yes yes and yes . “Care for” is not having a family , and sleeping inside and getting a drs help to make sure he’s good . He’s needs shots , for treatments , regular meals , water , shelter .
Why hasn’t someone just adopted him into their home ?
I rescued six, three week old kittens and they are now two years old and I would never just leave my babies out on the street. I was 68years old and lived in an apartment all my life and they told me I couldn't have cats, so I went out and brought a house. I've never been so happy. 🐾💖
You lovely lovely person. You've just made me cry. Love to you and your kitty family
My kind of girl. You go girl love you much😍🥰😘💋🧡💛💚💙💜💯💯💯
Good for you, Barbara! 😊
What a wonderful person your kitties have to look after them Barbara! You are a saint! Give the cats an extra pet for me
Aw he's so thankful that he's getting affection again and he's giving it right back.
I just want to thank Monique for seeing how awesome Ares is as a great cat and stepping up and adopting him. Ares gets a loving, wonderful parent, and Monique gets a fabulous and beautiful kitty. So happy for both!!!
Such a wonderful thing you did. I moved to a rural area 26 years ago and ended up taking care of 22 cats. Just by getting all the kittens we could catch fixed and giving them food and water we basically cured the feral cat problem. I still have 11 cats left. It has been very expensive but also a labor of love.
Same, seems like people bring there pet's out here and just drop them off to fend for themselves 😢. I've got 4 now and all neutered. ❤
It’s absolutely understandable why he was fearful at the beginning- he’d been abandoned and was probably heartbroken at being left behind. Once he realized he was with caring people he was full of love to bursting. Thank goodness he found a real home with good people. I hope the ones who abandoned him enjoy facing ultimate judgment when their time comes- I guarantee there’ll be no place for them in heaven’s garden.
Hello Sara how are you doing hope you're doing good
@Sara Grant
I couldn’t agree more! I think it’s gonna’ be real hot where they’re going! 😂
I just can't understand how people can leave a family member behind.. I just can't. Hes so sweet..
Because he had no family...
@Nunya Bidness Your are an idiot.... Ever heard of cats that literally commit suicide when they are separated from their human owner? Let me guess, you are a dog lover 🤣
Nobody cares if a piece of paper said you were this or that. just stfu you annoying loser

How anyone could abandoned their cat, their pet is beyond me. Arie is such a sweet cat, it's wonderful that he has a family who loves and cherishes him.
People who just left cat behind are monsters to me. Hope they get Karma.
When I took in a stray, only to find out from the vet that she was already spayed, it broke my heart to find out people just leave pets behind. And she’s super affectionate too. I don’t know how anyone can abandon a pet.
Pets do run away, and they can wander very far. Especially cats. Cats can decimate ecosystems because of how efficient they are at hunting.
@@v1760sidewrong crowd, V! 😂
I adopted a cat that was abandoned at a house by 4 different group of tenants. Whenever people move, they just leave the cat there. The last person moving happened to be a dog person that wasn’t planning on taking the cat. He told me that from what he knows, people just left the cat when they leave and she’d be outside until the next people will hopefully allow her to be indoor/outdoor cat, and so far she’s lucky that usually the people that moved there will at least feed her. I told him that I wanted to take her. She’s the sweetest cat and has been with me for 8 years now. She’s an old lady.
God bless you 🙏
I can kinda sympathize with the tenants. Not the first one obviously, but the other 3. They probably pulled up, found a friendly cat outside and figured she was a happy outside cat. So they'd feed her and yes give cuddles and such of course, but when they'd leave maybe they thought she actually belonged outside or to the owner of the property and just never questioned it? It might be a stretch, but you get what I'm saying?
@@josephv6007 I think they know that she didn’t belong to anyone, but I get what you are saying too. It’s not really the new tenant’s responsibility, but it’s sad that she thought they are family and one by one, they would just leave her behind.
@@josephv6007- My sympathies are firmly with the cat. Whoever abandoned her in the first place is the worst of the lot, but those who subsequently re-abandoned her are jerks. I get that it was unexpected to have a cat go with the rental. I don't get how no one thought to take her to a shelter or rescue - or ideally get her adopted - before leaving her. Not really anyone's responsibility to do that, but it's humane to do it.
It breaks my heart that they would just leave him outside and go away. I’m so glad that he was adopted by someone who will be able to love him for the rest of his life.❤
Hello Wendy how are you doing hope you're having a good day
Glad he was saved and I know they are professionals, but I do TNR and I would never handle a cat like that. If you're going to scruff them you have to support their bottom half. Im a vet tech, I've seen people do this and actually damage the skin and muscle underneath. Kittens yes you can do it, full adult cats absolutely no unless you have to. Happy he had a chance to thrive now, many kitties are not so lucky
When my neighbor moved I was told he threw his 6 month old cat over the fence and drove off. Soon after my wife and I were walking around the block and the cat ran across the road right over to us. 3 years later we still have her and she’s been one of the best pets I’ve ever had and unbelievably spoiled. She's basically our child and we are so grateful.
Aww. I'm so glad she found you, but I think she knew what she was doing. Somehow they know who the good, loving people are. I'm so so glad she's spoiled. The mean person who literally tossed her out doesn't deserve her.
@@voyaristika5673 thank you!
That's so lovely! Thank you for being so caring. I wish people were fined or even arrested for dumping pets. It should be against the law in every state. Period. Most of the time people know who dumped a pet. I see all the time on CL where people literally post ads to get rid of their pets and it says something like "Needs to be gone asap!" What do you mean, asap? Just because someone didn't care enough to find a home now they're in a rush. People get animals and suddenly don't care? Who does that?
@@mariarohmer2374 psychopathic/low empathy people
I found a 3 week old kitten under my car as I was leaving work for the day. No mother in sight, he was tiny, and shivering. I brought him home, did some vet visits, and it's been almost a year and he is the happiest kitty ever. He became a step brother to my other cat who is the same age (another rescue) and I can't imagine if I had left him that day he was under my car.
Good for you. Your a kind soul.

This put a smile on my face. My heart breaks that Ari was left and discarded like that. I can't imagine how hard it was for the little guy. But seeing him rescued, restored, cared for, adopted and LOVED fills my heart with JOY.
I've been rescuing cats and dogs left in the neighborhood I work in for a few years and it's heart breaking to see it just keep helping 💔.
I'm so happy Ares got a second chance at life. What a beautiful baby. The people who abandoned him are disgusting.
I was thinking maybe the owner got sick and couldn't come back and maybe someone else packed up the house and left the poor kitty...who really knows, right? We're just thankful this baby got rescued. So many don't.
@@LLStark Yeah you're totally right. Abruptly "packing up and leaving" is different from simply "moving houses". It seems this was a precarious scenario. Perhaps even the family was in grave danger and needed to just leave immediately. Otherwise they would've moved out properly rather than up and ran away like that.
Makes me sooooo mad that people could leave their pet behind. They depend on us!
I’m so glad he was saved and now has a forever home where he’ll be loved and cared for. As for people who abandon animals, they don’t deserve to breathe.
No, you don't deserve to breathe. These videos are nonsense. And what people do is none of your business. They're animals, they can take care of themselves.
How people treat animals tells you everything you need to know about them. There's a reason animal cruelty is a precursor to serial killers.
You got that right!!!!!!
I agree,they don't deserve to breathe.
Disgusting people, really. There isn't a decent word for them.
I am always aghast... horrified that anyone could abandon an animal. For me, these precious creatures... little people... deserve the best care possible. I have two felines, and I look at them as my children! The previous owners of this wonderful cat have committed an egregious act. Such acts should be crimes, and the perpetrators should be punished. Thank you for saving his life!
So sad, I could never abandon my little buddy like this. He gets heartbroken enough when I leave for a few days on business. People who think cats are fine to just be alone all the time haven’t seen a cat who has fully bonded with their owner(s).
Cats are so cool for that reason. My 5 pound dog needs 3 small meals a day. I can go to work and he’s okay but if I have to go somewhere for a day even, I have to make arrangements for him. Not just that but, even if I had someone come feed him, he would be heartbroken. They’re like kids. Like us. They need more than food and water and a clean environment to thrive.
My boy was abandoned when his former feeders moved. I made the husband drive me to get the cat. I fell in love IMMEDIATELY!! As he screeched all the way back to my house. Now, when I go feed chickens, or step outside, he howls at the window 😭.
His previous owner was apparently suffering from cute kitten( puppy) syndrome ~ once the cat ( dog in some cases) is grown ?... hope they don't feel like this with a kid 😢 Glad to see he has a new home
@@aliceclark9120 People have abandoned their kids for stupid reasons too.
Many people like adopting kittens because they're small and cute. As for me, I like adopting cats, because they show you their developed personality. What you see, is the LOVE they give.
Monique, thank you so very much for giving this angel Ares a forever home.
So happy Ari is now safe, well cared for and loved. I had tears throughout this. I have a 7 year old tortoiseshell named Molly who was also abandoned by her owners. She was a 100% indoor cat for the first five years of her life. Her owners moved and left her just outside the only home she ever knew. I can't imagine the bewilderment and fear she endured. She had been outside for at least a year when I was made aware of her and her situation. She was in very bad shape due to lack of shelter or food. How I know what happened to her was due to the fact that one of the neighbors told a friend of mine her story. Long story short, Molly is asleep on my bed as I write this. She is safe, well cared for and loved. Like Ari. From here on I will be sending good, positive thoughts to Ari and the lady kind enough to save him. Peace to all who take the time to read this comment. ☮
Thank you! You are the answer to a VERY cruel planet.
Good job, 💞 it's people like you that restore my faith in human nature and with that you hit a 100 👍😉
It is too sad to think of how many animals are treated like this!
Thank you for your kindness and goodness to Molly and for loving her as much as I'm sure she loves you!!
Thank you, thank you very much!
Aww. This handsome boy deserves all the snuggles and kisses. So glad he’s found his forever home.
Me and my wife rescued our cat bill from a shelter and he was such a big love. He was so happy to find some people to love and care for him properly.
I don't know how anyone could be so heartless to leave their pet behind. My cat misses me if I go out for just one evening.
People suck... What a sweetheart cat. I'm so glad kitty was cleaned up and safe
Yep. Three young women out of high school got an apt and then got 3 cats. One year later they abandoned them. As allergic as I am to cats, one of stole my heart. He was funny and sweet and athletic and loyal. And all he wanted in return was a home and a friend.
What happened to the others?
I believe my allergies were caused by shots. Don't get shots AND they do too many on pets, as well. ..see Veterinarian Secrets, TH-cam!
(The bad guys are trying to kill us, no kidding. By air, by water, by food, by bad medicine, etc!)
@Tired of All this
Good question! What did happen to the other 2 cats?
I never saw the other two cats after the girls moved out. I knew the owner of the building who in turn knew the parents of the girls. Brats with family money. They got a nicer apt near to downtown Anchorage but they didn’t take pets, so they threw the cats out. Luckily it was summer at the time.
@@tiredofallthis7716 I’m glad how you knew about the cats and didn’t a call rescuer sooner to get them…. ✋🏻💀 but ur talking about how u took one but left the others … when you could’ve at least called someone to taken them to shelter even if it’s packed they would at least try to be given a home :/. Imagine being house cat with ur two other buddies and then all sudden human takes one and fucks the others. You failed these cats as much as the owner Leaving them to starve on the street most likely not in good area near apt… it doesn’t take long to do good deed literally there just phone call away. You can’t even keep the cat u took too because ur allergic that’s no life for him…. But if you do end up keeping him I’m hoping you don’t fail him and kick him out and all I have to say is if you see the other cats again near apt pls call a rescuer.
Thank you to everyone who understands the commitment of caring for an animal. 👏🏻❤️… I was dating a very successful businessman who one day told me to get rid of my two dogs if I wanted to continue dating him. Bye, bye then. My pups are my family. And getting rid of them was not up for debate. I never want people in my life who do not like animals.
Count your blessings. If a man is that shallow, he's no man at all.
The nerve! He thought his money trumped love. You dodged a bullet!
Why did he tell you to get rid of your dogs? I am trying to understand the reasoning there. He would have had to been a psychopath to tell you that for absolutely no reason. What happened?
He looks like a cat I found when he was a very small kitten about five years ago. He showed up at my brother's house on his deck everyday. I was able to win his trust almost immediately. He would lay down at my feet whenever I would stand and would come running to me whenever I would stop by. I finally decided to take him home with me because my brother lives on a busy street and he didn't really like cats. I kept the little guy quarantined in my upstairs bathroom until I was able to take him to the vet to make sure he didn't have any diseases that could be passed on to our other cat. Luckily he passed with flying colors and five years later Merlyn has a loving home and has been inside since. He does have a screened in porch that he can go out whenever he wants to. Unlike a lot of cats, he acts more like a dog. He follows me wherever I go and has to be very close to me. I couldn't imagine ever leaving Merlyn behind if I was to ever move. Some people should NEVER have pets.
I can't imagine that, no matter what circumstances come up, it's not possible to at the least message a rescue group or shelter if you had to move suddenly. It's heartbreaking that pets like Ares are just suddenly abandoned on the streets.
I can't understand why the original owners can't be located? In Australia 'it's illegal not to have Cat's and Dog's microchipped'!!!
I would like to believe that other Countries do same!!!
So sad how people think cats can survive left like that. I’m so glad you rescued him and now he has a loving home forever. I have five cats that came to me that were feral or left and now they are my family. Cats are so loving and so easy to take care of I don’t understand why people give them such a bad rap.
Hello Cheryl how are you doing hope you're having a great day
😊
@@susancooper1698 hello
It is obvious the wait was worth it. He found a loving mom and a wonderful home. The people who left him behind should be ashamed.
He's a real sweetie 🥰 They didn't deserve him anyways. So glad you found him. He deserves way better than he got.
I am so upset that his former family left him behind. He looks exactly like my baby Crescent who was a rescue we adopted when he was just a kitten. It took a while for him to warm up to our family of six humans, two Shih Tzus and another rescue kitten (whom he loves), but he is a lover too. Don’t know how we ever lived without him. 😊
Ari is one of gods creatures an god doesn't like ugliness the prior owner will never see heaven god bless Ari n his new owner give him a lot of love 💕 this goes to show there are good people left in this world
I'm not so sure, he's quite tame for the God of War...too tame 🤔
Who told you (except DODO) that he'd been abandoned.
He was missing when they moved.
It happens to human beings.
The army moves OUT and there are tens of soldiers gone missing that nobody knows about.
Maybe he was just nowhere to be found and they have come back on multiple occasions to find him without success ?
@@team3383 Or they planned to get him the next day because they couldn't find him on moving day (animals can sense it and hide), then they got killed in an accident or something similar.
It's easy to assume and start blaming without all the informations.
Poor baby... Must've been so scared & confused
Hello Alana how are you doing
I hope the previous owners see this video and I hope the guilt torments them for all eternity. Thank you for rescuing Ares and showing him love and warmth again ❤️
I understand that people fall on hard times and sometimes have to surrender their pet to a shelter or rescue...BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU JUST ABANDON THEM?!?!?!
So glad you all were able to rescue Ares and now he has a loving forever home!
No, you don't understand. If you understood then you would not have included a 'shelter' as an option for your cat. Shelters do not provide shelter, they are killing plants built for the sole purpose of processing a large population of pets, through death.
A cat brought to a shelter has 3 - 5 days to be adopted before it is killed. Imagine that cat you love, living in a cage for 5 days, surrounded by barking dogs, extremely scared and stressed out, then only to be killed 5 days after receipt, without you and by people your cat doesn't know or trust and that kill animals daily as their job and are completely heartless and without care. The reason shelters always have room, is because they killing daily. Think about the type of person that would get a job at a shelter killing pets every day, what kind of person do you think that is? Someone that loves cats?
And rescues? You mention surrendering to a rescue as if you just walk in somewhere and it's all better. The problem with rescues is that they consist of individual volunteers that agree to foster a cat until a home can be found for it and the problem is that since they are not killed, foster options fill up fast. Many volunteer fosters will also only accept kittens, because they know they will get adopted out fast, so full grown cats get the shaft.
There are strays in my neighborhood, one stray I have been feeding for 1.5 years is still a stray because no one will adopt here, and literally every local and non-local rescue I have contacted is 'beyond capacity'. And only about half of them even reply to say that.
So what's left? Abandonment. Then the best chance that cat has is if the neighborhood puts out food and water bowls otherwise it will mainly live off of bugs, maybe some lizards or gophers, if it is a good hunter, birds and rodents very rarely.
Even so, it's still better than a 'shelter' which is a 98% guarantee of death since they only adopt out roughly 2% of the cats that have been left with them.
While shelters do have their own unique situations and problems to contend with, they DO coordinate with rescues - provided they are aware of local groups and community efforts. Not all of them are the cruel, heartless slaughterhouses that some make of them.
In the end, it all boils down to the people that work in all these efforts. *Training, Communication, Coordinated Efforts, Continuous Education of the Community about Trap, Neuter & Return; **_this_** is what we should all be agreeing on.*
For the sake of other heartbroken felines like Ares used to be, so that not even a single cat be abandoned in the cold streets after living an indoor life and get the boot just like that.
@@UnlimitedFlyers I agree 100%. Thanks for the comment :)
@@UnlimitedFlyers No, not where Ares is, shelters don't coordinate with rescues, and rescues are beyond capacity and so there is nothing to coordinate even if they did. And here, most rescue fosters are holding out for kittens.
The selective rescue you see in this video (cats of SB) doesn't even reply to calls, instead they look for cats in the worse condition because they get more YT views that way. So they wont bother with me or others here that call or email them because the strays are normal strays, not like the one in this video.
The street I'm on (also in SB) has a bunch of strays, I feed 3 in addition to my own. I myself called the same 'rescue' you see in this video 3x to rescue a spayed stray, they didn't return a single call, not even to say 'sorry but we're at capacity' like all of the other rescues in SB and OC county. And the reason I only look for a home for her is because she wants to be an indoor cats, the other 2 that I feed prefer to be outside.
Do note that Ares was a stray for 2 years and this was not an issue for him or the people in the neighborhood that fed him until AFTER he got mange which any cat can get, stray or otherwise. The cat was not in some sad state as a result of being a stray, it was in a sad state as a result of getting Mange long after he was abandoned. Also not that it then took another 7 months for the foster to find him a home AFTER rescue because most people want kittens and pass up adult cats. This is why I roll my eyes at people that jump in here saying "just find her a new home" like that easily happens in a couple of months.
So when you take all of this in consideration factoring in 'rescues' that do what THEY want, not what the public wants, because they are privately ran, and that shelters are killing plants... law enforcement and animal control in SB wont take a cat to the shelter when the owner dies, instead they will put it out of the house, because they know that is the best chance a cat has and because as a public office, they don't (and can't) coordinate with rescues either.
There is a huge gopher population here that is their staple, that and food/water that people in the neighborhood put out. The biggest danger for cats in SB are coyotes, this applies to strays and indoor/outdoor cats but the cats here know how to avoid, except in one case, a poor Siamese cat and it wasn't a stray.
One minor correction, it's the hot streets of SB, not the cold streets. This is SoCal and it rarely gets too cold for cats in the winter. It can however reach unsafe heat levels for a cat during the summer months and so in SB most cats are under shade during the day and out at night during the summer months.
I feel so sorry for the elderly who have suddenly fallen into ill health, sometimes dying, and have to leave their pets behind. This happens frequently.
Thank you for saving this poor cat, people should be ashamed to treat pets the way they do, no excuses. He’s now with the right kind of human, kind, generous and loving, the family he always deserved. Thank you for rescuing him, you and your team are absolutely wonderful.
Hello Diana
That's what happened to our cat. He was an indoor/outdoor and his family moved and left him. Luckily the neighbors all knew him. We lived around the corner and saw him walking one night. We opened our car door and he jumped right in. Funnily enough, we ended up moving into his old owners house. For 8 year he's been part of our family.
Shame on the evil people that would leave their pets behind. So happy he has a loving family and home
Hello Gwen how was your day going
Couple years ago, I was in a situation where I didn't have a home. For a little bit - I stayed with my brother, then with the friend of my mom's.... we made absolutely CERTAIN that our pets had a place to be, until we could all be reunited again. There was no way in hell that I was giving them up.
It kills me that people do that.
@ Bart Hatch: same here!👍👍👍👏👏👏🤝🤝🐱🐹
AGREED!!!! I've gone without and shared with all of my pets!! They are our family and closest friends!!! ❤️
I'm glad you are ok now
A year ago this month I took in an outdoor kitten. He hid from me for three days under the couch. He then came out and started sleeping right over my head every night for two weeks. After that, he just started laying in the crease of my legs at night. I named him Cassie Cat because I thought he was a she.. Lol.. I am so in love with my Cassie Cat. He is extremely intelligent. He's working on opening the door now by the handle. He understands everything that I say to him. He's very vocal. We went to the vet and got his shots. Such a big boy. He's my baby. I'm so glad that I let my friend bring him to me. My friend, knowing the big heart I have said that if anyone would love and care for that kitten it would be me. Such a compliment. The day before Cassie came I went to Walmart and spent $163 buying stuff for him even though I had never laid eyes on him. I buy him new stuff all the time. He's my baby. Let me not forget to mention the fact that I'm living with cancer. I was reluctant to accept a pet because of my illness. I'm doing well, thank God, but I know that with cancer things can change at any given time. I try not to think about what could happen. I have a beautiful new granddaughter and Cassie Cat. I strive everyday because I want to be here for my grandkids and Cassie needs me.
🙏4U❤️
I’m so moved I was crying. You’re in my prayers. You and Cassie cat ❤
Bless your heart. Be well.
Wishing you, your family and Cassie cat all the best! Thank you for taking good care of Cassie!
@@YDD76 Thank you so much! ❤️
We had uni students living in the house next door a few years ago and they got a black kitten at the start of the year and then when they all left a year later they left him behind like he was furniture. He started coming into our house through our cat flap and just slowly moved in. We would have kept him but we have 2 older cats and he began trying to dominate them which upset them. Cat's Protection took him and re-homed him. I don't understand how people can just abandon a cat like this.
I adopted a senior cat at my local shelter just over a year ago. The local pound had found him roaming the streets and brought him to the shelter about 3 weeks prior to my adopting him. Due to the fact that he had a tattoo inside his left ear, they were able to contact the owners and were told that they didn't want him anymore. I just couldn't believe that and my heart just sank and felt so sad for my sweet buddy, they must have cared for him at some point for they did all the right things, had him tattooed, neutered. How could they abandon him just like that when in his senior years this is when he needs them the most. I comfort myself in the fact that if they hadn't given him up, I wouldn't have the joy of being his new "mum" . He is a true cuddle bug, who loves nothing more than being smothered in kisses and being hugged. Well, I hope he does, he doesn't try to escape my grasp which must mean something, right? He celebrated his 16th birthday on June past, and may he be with me for a few more years to come. By the way, I'd like to make one remark, please avoid picking up an adult cat by the scruff, they're no longer kittens thus weigh a lot more and it can be very painful. Consider what the rescuer does as an exception given the circumstances.
Thank you so much for bringing attention to this.
If he really did need to be scruffed they could have supported his body weight under his feet.
Hello Linda how was your day going
@@jackiemcloughlin6893 Yeah, that's what I would have preferred seeing. If all you have are your hands and you have to pickup a feral cat, grabbing the scruff is probably necessary, but you can still support some/most of the cat's weight with your other hand under the feet or butt.
Oh that sweet baby! What a beautiful kitty! Poor thing. I’m so thankful they were able to rescue him!! ❤️🙏🏼✝️🐈
You can tell he once knew human touch, as he adapted so quickly to the rescuer. He seemed overjoyed to touch and hug a living being. Great to see. He’s a sweet guy. 👏🏻
This is beyond heartbreaking poor baby so happy he was rescued . 😭😢 my roommates cats have given my life meaning after having anxiety for so long 💚
I’ll never understand these people that take on this responsibility then just leave them behind because they ‘have to move’. It’s simple: YOU TAKE THEM WITH YOU. I feel so bad for all the kitties irresponsible people abandon 😢
Not everyone can take their pets. Some renters do not allow pets. And going homeless for your animal is not an option. Most shelters kill cats in terrible ways.
Not to mention flying pets its expensive as hell
If you can’t take your pet with a move or financially unable to take of them. There are shelters, reach out to friends and family members.. I feel like these people didn’t try very hard to make sure their pets taken care of. Leaving an animal alone that was depending on you for its survival is cruel.
@@keimorgan5654 100% I would find them a place to live well in advance
Midwestern, I easily understand ( but don't condone ) this type of callous behavior towards animals. I long ago abandoned my idealistic, fairy tale view of human nature. There are no really good people just people who are lesser degrees of evil. Expect the worst from humanity and you'll rarely be disappointed.
PS, I am an animal person overall with a huge preference for felines and am currently taking care of homeless cats in my neighborhood and at my job.
What a chill cat-after two years he was still so loving? What a beautiful soul.
Nothing in this world could get me to leave my little princess behind! She's part of the family and we love her dearly. I don't get how some people still seem to think that cats don't bond with their humans. I've seen cats falling in love with people, just like dogs would. You don't abandon someone who loves you and relies on you, that's just cruel!
My rescue Cat I love him to death I will never abandon him, such a loving cat and animals relay on us to look after them… he is like my son to me ❤
Kip Simpson channel will clue you in on Democrat ran cities people are disappearing dumb dumbs. The crime maps prove this. People disappearing from thier own homes.
Exactly. The bond between my rescue princess and me is so strong - before anything if my house was burning I'd grab her even if she scratched me bloody and run outside naked. I can deal with losing anything but her. They're so intelligent and loving and need to be protected
Just plain evil people who would do this. Can't imagine what this cat went through just to survive.
They tried for a few weeks to find him, but he didn't come home. They didn't get along with the neighbors who were bullying them and their kids, which is why they moved in the first place. This is why you dont let pets out and about.
Thankyou Dodo for these heartwarming videos. 💓
Since my last cat passed away 😢 💔 in April and I can nolonger have anymore pets I am getting my pet
" fix " with channels like yours and Geo Beats.
What a lucky beautiful kitty, he has so much love to give! 🐈⬛❤️
Hello Shelley how was your day going
"They just packed up and left" broke my heart... 😭💔 I'm a cat lover. My cats are my family. When I moved countries my four fur babies moved with me. I couldn't bear a thought of leaving them behind as this would be the cruelest thing to do.
Thank you for saving him 💖💖
Hello Cedric how are you doing
Thank you Monique for adopting loving and handsome Ari, may you both have a beautiful life together!!!!🙏❤️
Just a little love brought him back from a scared, hurting kitty to a happy, healthy, & loving kitty!
These are the beautiful things of life that are worth fighting for. Simple but priceless.
AWW I am absolutely in love with him. I cannot for the life of me understand why people would just leave their pets behind.
My Rottweiler was left in the backyard of someone’s home. I was horrified when I saw her. She had been sitting back there for two months without eating. I’m happy to say a year and a half later she’s my best friend and it was the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life.
What a beautiful sweet cat. Bless everyone that helped save him
In the end the previous owner didn’t deserve him. That’s their loss not Ares! He got a real home with someone who truly loved him! That’s the best love story❤️I believe the animals chose us and not visa versa! They provide us with so much more then I feel they get credit for❤️ animals are such a gift! I can’t imagine this lonely world w/o our beloved pets🙏🏼
2 of my cats were also just left behind by shitty owners. One, my heart cat, finally passed away 2 months ago at more or less age 8 years 💔😭 The other one is still going strong at about 9 years old ❤️
💔❤️😍
I'm so glad you found them and became their family. That's how I became my heart cat Sid's mom. Someone dumped him and his brother in a box in my front yard during a rare southern snowstorm. We had 16 blissful years together.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to lose your best friend, and I’m so glad you have them such a beautiful life.
I have 3 cats, 2 who are half-brothers. Are they sad for a long time when one passes away? Or do they generally get over it quickly?
💔 I'm a mom to 2 abandoned cats. I'm sorry for the pain of your loss but thankyou for keeping a soft heart in this harsh world!
It really breaks my heart to know people get kittens and puppies as pets and the second they grow up or the family moves due to circumstances, they just leave the animal behind and abandon them. But in saying that it's heart warming to see videos like this that people do this stuff for animals and find them forever homes ❤️
Heartbreaking indeed but when Aries found his mom in the end it fills you with joy.
So sad 😞 for that cat 🐈.. who must have loved his owners and probably did not understand why they left him... pets are for life.. they are not a toy you can treat terribly and just discard when you get fed up or they become an inconvenience... shame on those who treat living creatures that way.. Thank you for saving him😊
This happened to a neighbors cat across from my in-laws, they did not abandon her but from what I heard they mistreated her and she ran off. I was in my in law back yard when I came across the emaciated cat, I wanted to cry. I fed and watered her over my in laws objections but then she ran off. Next time we came over we found the cat was coming back around and my in laws were feeding her daily. The next time I came by she was in the house, now adopted by the in laws. She stayed (and was very loved) until she passed away a few years later. Some people are reluctant adopters, but when they make that decision it is final. 💖😻💖
Hello Wendy how are you doing
And shame on people who still claim nonhuman animals are objects to own instead of family members and equal animals. But that’s expected from people who sadly still have the slaveowner mentality and claim to own other animals like us.
