Side note: I’ve had two black cats. They are the. best…and so smart (I think they have to be and it’s a trait they’ve developed b/c people are dumb). Your clutter of black cats is a life goal of mine! My bathroom has a black cat theme (using nice art…lots of artists, including Picasso, had black cats). I absolutely would have adopted one…all of them if I could have. The option of names does 4 black cats is…I wouldn’t even know where to start deciding a theme.
RE: I freaking love your work sooo much! I love how you stick up for others and use your platform and voice to make a difference! 💯💯 Thank you for all you Do with Swoop and Swoop Too! I'm totally getting me and my son (who also loves you!)! Some Swoop Academy/Petty University apparel. I hope this isn't too stupid of a question, but do you send any of your Petty University clothing with Your autograph? And could you possibly one day post a link to all of your music? I would love to have a way to listen to some of your art since we got a few sneak peeks on some of the newest videos you've done. I know you have thousands of people on here and probably not likely I'll get an answer back, but I hope I do! Thank you for what you do forever giving the silent a voice! You rock!!! Swoop swoop!!!
Is this your real hair or is it a wig please? I love the color purple and you are beautyfull woman and I love your comments in your video's. Greetings from Ilona out of Belgium in Europe. 👍🏻✌️
I would be absolutely heartbroken if my cat even got out the front door and ran down the street. I have a tag on her collar that has my phone number on it (and a warning that I might be crying on the call), just to AVOID my pet getting lost or hurt. I might even feed her too much because I don't want her to be hungry. The thought of someone PURPOSLEY abandoning and starving their pet is absolutely sickening. Anyone that actually loves their pet would be just as sickened by it.
@ville__I don’t know if you are trolling or if you lived under a rock for years. She is not friends with this groomer, and she actively denounced her predatory behaviour.
I once had a kitty that showed up at work one night. For the next few days, she kept using my car as shelter from the sun. I finally decided to take her home, get her cleaned up, and then take her to a shelter. However, I was new to the area, so I was having a hard time figuring out where to take her. Then I realized that a hurricane was getting ready to hit and it would be hectic at a shelter afterwards. So I figured I would just wait. So, anyway, Wendy is now 12 years old and is currently yelling at me because I was suppose to fed her six minutes ago and how dare I make her wait! 😂
Excuse you, the audacity! - sincerely a lady woken by a doberman with a husky attitude and I didn't feed her according to her exact schedule because I wanted a nap. how dare 😂❤
Did you ever get her checked for a chip or post photos of a found cat. Cats do roam and hide under cars when they have owners. You may of made someone think their cat died
🤣😂How dare you make Wendy wait six minutes for food! She's STARVING! LOL! That's usually my wake up alarm for my babies when I don't wake up right away in the morning to give them their wet food. They have dry food, but man, you'd think otherwise while they trip me from the bedroom to the kitchen XD
Add to the fact that not only is Crariglist its own Sus Pool, "rehoming" a PITBULL on that site is the worst thing you could ever do. They are one of the top breeds to be victimized through that site. Shame on her. I'm so glad Niko has found love and care.
Right, and people who do this are further stigmatizing this breed by doing that. Which in return makes it difficult for other pitbulls to find good homes.
We had a pregnant stray cat give birth in our yard, then her kitten got pregnant and gave birth in our house and then grandma cat gave birth again before we were able to catch her and fix her. By the end of it, only 1 cat was able to be re-homed despite many efforts so we were caring for 12 cats in the same house. Not once was selling them on Craigslist or abandonment ever considered. It's disgusting how anyone could treat an animal like that
You are a rockstar! We currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats and take care of 6 to 8 cats outside. Lol I can't let them go hungry?! And I have winter shelters cause it's central Washington....
@@ariellefitzgerald1222 ........ they said they were caring for 12 cats at one point, not that they still are. clearly, there was a solution worked out. also, idk why you're mentioning a random denver shelter lmfao - i'm pretty sure not everyone online lives there
I'm sorry but anyone who uses living breathing animals entirely for their own self gratification show disturbing levels of narcissism, but then abandoning those animals when they aren't convenient anymore shows an innate cruelty bordering on psycho/sociopathy. It's unacceptable.
She only cares about herself and what others can provide for her. Animals, husbands, friends, children... She discards them when she's done. Her whole personality is performative. People like her should NOT be allowed to foster children OR adopt animals. Ever. There is no longterm care and love for anyone in BD's life (or people like her)
My elderly lizard is currently sleeping on my lap as I watch this. People who use animals to make themselves look better in the public eye, while not giving a rat's ass in the background, need to be punished much, _much_ more harshly. I can't fathom how people can do this.
Animals are part of the family. Take care of them and they'll take care of you. I don't live with my parents anymore so rarely get to see her, but my almost 15 year old Cavalier has been spoiled her whole life and takes care of us in return. After my surgery, she was so gentle without seeing any dressings as it was cold so I was in long sleeves. Same deal with my mum and her surgery 2 years ago. My little girl learnt to alert to my mental health episodes before they started and when the episode would start whether it be a panic attack, crying, mania, trauma episode or a psychotic episode, she would stay by my side 24/7, direct all of my attention to her by nuzzling me for pets or booping my face if I start crying, she'd cuddle with me at night even though she prefers sleeping on tiles in her old age and she'd even sleep on my lap on the couch for long periods even though I'm very smol and not as comfortable as the rest of my family. She did the same to my brother when he was grieving the deaths of lots of his friends who were in a major accident. She's not specially trained to do this, she's not a service dog. She just loves her humans because that's all she's ever known.
She has abused, neglected, and/or abandoned every animal she's owned. Her husband murdered one. And she has endangered the lives of so many people, including children, when she attempted to be a foster mom. Thank goodness the system realized she is not a safe placement, and no children are any longer under her care. And hopefully NO CHILD EVER WILL BE.
I've found that local breed specific shelters or rescues (especially PITTIES) that if you offer to fund a foster, you can safely rehome your very wonderful pet through a proper vetting. If it's seriously not a financial issue, then take the extra steps to ensure your voiceless pet gets to a safe new place.
This is why I also love Jackson Galaxy. Whenever he's asked about the worst cat from 'My cat from hell 'he always says it wasn't the cat misbehaving, it was the human who didn't want to be bothered understanding WHY that cat acted like that. Your dog isn't 'clicking' with you means you aren't in tune or care about his needs and can't be bothered with understanding why. I've taken in plenty of stray cats and seen many turn from feral cats into kitties that see they are loved and safe. Tossing them away is just screwed up and I truly hate this woman
For our wedding, instead of wedding favors we made a donation to the shelter we got our 4 rescues from. Rescues are always looking for food, toy and blanket donations! Even if you can’t give money, time with the animals is helpful as well!
We found out from a kid’s book that you can read to animals in shelters. Not only to donate time so they’re not so lonely, but to also to get animals used to being around people. This was the sweetest thing (even though it’s sad it’s needed) & my kids want to do this now 😻🐶
Shes so painfully problematic. I hate how people suddenly follow her word by the masses, out of religious belief. She is a con artist on ALL levels and will scam any and everyone who will look her way. Shame
I also had a stray pregnant cat in my care! She would come to our porch, sit on our laps, when we’d walk around the block she’d follow and one day she started coming in my house. I eventually let her in to stay & she had 5 adorable kittens! I raised them for 24 weeks. I didn’t want random ppl I didn’t know taking the babies. I gave 1 to my neighbor, 1 my mom, 1 a coworker & 1 to a girl I knew, for free. I kept 1. I told everyone if they changed their mind just give them back. The 1 girl did change her mind & gave 1 back but I love him too much to rehome him again. I went from no cats, to a cat & 2 kittens. Couldn’t be happier! I agree with Swoop & totally know how it feels! 😻
She chose to come to your house and worked her very important shift in the cat distribution system! What a sweet story. Wish your cat family the best ❤
Yessss Swoop..I can't stand people who don't rerehome animals responsibly. I rescued 6 kittens from a crazy situation, and they were super young. One passed because the fleas were too bad, and she went downhill overnight. Was absolutely heartbreaking, but we ended up keeping the black kitty. We found one a home locally with a vet tech, and the other 3, we drove to Michigan (8 hrs from us). We tried for weeks but couldn't find them homes. My husband's aunt worked for a rescue there, and she sent us pictures as they were adopted 😁 they all found loving homes. People can be so ignorant and heartless.
We took in a pregnant stray kitty. The original plan was to adopt out the babies, but my mum and I got attached and we now have five cats. One Mama and her four grown kids.
I got a black cat who was 2 years old. When she got older she got Diabetes. I learned to inject her insulin. When her arthritis got bad. I put in stairs and a ramp for her, I took her for acupuncture and medicated her for it. When she could no longer stand and showed me she had enough in this world. I carried her to the vet myself. I stayed with her to the very end. 12 years with her. Not a moment would I ever consider abandoning her. I did sometimes wonder if it was getting too much for me but with her age I did not think she would have a better chance in a shelter or rescue. So I kept going, I kept looking after her, loving her. I miss her every single day. My black void was a very special cat. I wish I could have another 12 years with her. Do it all again. Pets are not disposable. They are family members. From arrival to final moments, you should care for them. If you can not, do the right thing for their future. Work with a shelter or rescue, do not just abandon that family member. I am glad the Billing department is doing well. What are their names? I only remember Automo-bill and porkchop? If I were closer i would adopt a void.- there is a black cat shaped hole in my heart at the moment.
I've had 5 fosters throughout my years. Two had hyperthyroidism and needed medication twice a day. It never occurred me to rehome. I'm a ride or die for my furry housemates! 😂
@@KelseyDrummer Damn straight. I only momentarily debated rehoming due to my own health conditions interfering with her getting best care. In the end though I think I was her best care. To the end, I owed that cat my life. Least I could do was my very best.
@@aconerty6392 I have another cat. She is 12. I think when its her time I will get another void. The only cat she has ever got on with was my Lady. My void. Iris is just a derpy idiot. I love her but I don't think she would like if I got another baby. So I will wait. Loving my idiot Iris in her silliness. I have had her since a kitten. She is too silly.
I'm fostering a void right now if anyone is interested! Him and his siblings were abandoned by their owner before they moved out of country (my previous land lord). He's a BIG kitty- 19lbs shorthair, fixed, EXCELLENT napping/spooning/cuddling/crying/TV watching companion, plays fetch, loves to be brushed, comes when you call him, loves belly rubs and chin scritches, walks on harness and leash, goes kayaking and fishing (basically a dog, with the luxury and convenience of being a cat)... UTD on shots, last checkup/dental in Dec, very healthy 2yo! Also SUPER quiet (I'm used to my 18yo ginger who will serenade the house at 3am from the top of the stairs and turns EVERYthing into an argument). I'm in San Diego, CA- Fly here, take a weekend vacation, fly home with a new friend :D I'm getting way too attached to them and I need to focus on my geriatric kitty before taking on other responsibility. He comes first as he's been with me almost 2 decades, afterall :/
Black kitty owner here. People are so weird about black cats. When I was thinking of getting another cat (before getting my black cat) my grandma told me specifically not to take a black cat because "they bring bad luck". I hadn't even thought about what color I wanted my cat to be, it didn't matter to me. Well, because she said not to get a black cat, and for such a stupid reason, I started focusing on black cats. Because I found her take so annoying and since she claimed that everyone she knows avoid black cats and even "get rid of black kittens" I wanted to find out how large this problem actually is. Even if the problem wasn't actually a thing I would've focused on a black cat just to spite my grandma (I love her but she has certain opinions I can't stand and regarding those I can be a little shit by not straight out arguing with her about them but passive aggressively doing the exact thing she hates) but then I found out how bad the situation regarding black cats actually is. And I was like unless a situation falls in my lap where another colored cat needs to be rescued by me I'm gonna adopt a black cat. And I did and I couldn't be happier about my decision. I love all my cats equally as much, the past and the living, but I have to say that my baby girl, the black cat I adopted, has by far the sweetest, cuddliest nature. And that says a lot since all of my cats have been incredibly sweet and loving.
This is how I got my boy Noodle. I found out how hard black cats have it with adoption & came across him - the only black kitten at the adoption event & they had him and his sister separate from the rest. His sister was white and black, & now I wish I got her too.
That’s why I’m getting a little void kitty when I have the money to! I love cats, especially black cats, but because of my parents superstitions we never got a black cat. Now that I have my own place I’m getting one!
I have a black baby girl. She is the biggest baby I have, which says a lot because I have a fat orange tabby. 😂😂 I nicknamed her my little Vampire Bat when I got her because of how pointy her ears were at the time (she later got fluid in both of her ears due to some issue and they didn't "deflate" properly, so they became like cauliflower ears and I ended up re-nicknaming her to my little Fruit Bat). I want another black baby because of how truly disgusting people have been historically to these poor babies, all over superstition and other bs reasons.
My boyfriend is a firm believer that my life turned around once I got my black cat. He believes there is a black cat goddess that brings good luck to black cat owners. (I mean it’s more a figure of speech than a real belief). My black cat and tuxedo cats are my life and have brought me so much luck and happiness.
I recently Google "cats that bring good" and black cats were on the list of protecting and warding off evil. Of all the cats I've ever had in my 43 years, black cats are the absolute best.
As soon as I heard that Brittany put out an ad to rehome her dog on Craigslist, I cringed. Craigslist has a very notorious reputation! And the internet was not kidding in regards to Fundie/Republican Woman Baby Voice!
Bless you for adopting the black kitties that were not able to find homes. Today marks 3 years since my beautiful black kitty Abygail died. She was 19 years old and my faithful companion. I still miss her. When I see your babies, my heart fills with joy. Black cats are so beautiful and they are all my Baby to me. Stay safe. ✌️😺
I'm sorry for your loss. Black kitties are the sweetest babies. I have a black male who was the first one to meet my foster fail baby boy. He is so good with the babies. That's his baby now, even though that little orange boy is unhinged. lol
When our newest dog a 3 lb chihuahua because insanely protective of our newborn (he would get into every baby item and snuggle him and bite anyone picking him up) we spent 4 MONTHS finding a good home for the sweetie. If you could get him away from baby he was just a cuddle bug and very loving. He just was convinced our son was his puppy 😊
I knew a Maltese mix that was like that. She was a very nice and calm dog, but when she was in her owner's lap, she would snap at you if you came close. Thank you for taking the time to make sure the dog was in a good home.
We had a husky/wolf mix who did the same with me as a baby😂 she was my best friend for her last 10 years of her life. Course she never nipped at people unless they got too aggressive with me. My friend is rehoming a lizard and told me shes going to interview people and ask for their current set up of current reptiles and she won't be homing him with someone who doesn't currently have another reptile. Its not hard being a decent pet parent when things dont work out.
@@knitwitchpgh I’m so glad they are making sure no first time reptile parents. they are tricky pets and can get sick easily, my daughters boyfriend has one.
theres some crazy horror stories about foster and adoption and sperm banks.. they dont background check the people adopting/buying children/animals… some stories are literally just human trafficking via these systems :/ so many lives ruined bc the system let a pedo or a narcissist/abusive person adopt 💔
You got to be kidding me!?! She has a law suit against her for fraud & she abandoned her pet. This woman shouldn’t be allow to care for a blade of grass let alone a child.
remember if you love kids and think you could give them a good life, do your best to do your part for the children who would never have a life like that without you. everyone deserves the opportunity for a good life
I volunteer at a pet shelter. Some people do have legitimate reasons on why they can keep them, like if the owner is not in the best of health. If you cant keep animal then get it rehomed, people that do stuff like this are sick.
That fact that someone can get a child and or pet just for attention, and then toss them aside when they no longer serve that purpose, is so beyond messed up. Pets and kids are living beings who have hearts, souls and feelings. Not some objects to be used and then disregarded. They deserve genuine love and care. What also got me is that she stole someone’s tragic story, their story of pain and passed it off as her own. Like is she serious?!!! What kind of crap is that?!!!!!
I got my two favorite chickens from Craigslist. A tween girl got in over her head when she ordered one of every kind off a fancy breed chicken website. After a few months of taking care of 30+ chickens, she decided to downgrade via Craigslist. Luckily I’m not a psychopath and give those chickens the most spoiled life ever but who knows where the rest wound up.
i just adopted a rescue dg that came from a neglect situation, and hearing about niko broke my heart. i don't consider myself an exceptionally good person, i'm normal at best, but i can't fathom anyone being so heartless to a dog. cosmo is scared of everything but so, so eager to love and be loved. it's unthinkable.
I love you so much. I am a volunteer application screener for a cat rescue in PA, my crime junkie brain loves deep diving into people and their ability to care for animals and making sure our rescued kitties find their forever homes. There was a poor kitty, a 2yo Himalayan, who came into our rescue. Her owners bought her from a breeder. They were upset that she was scratching their furniture, so they had this poor kitty declawed. She then started peeing everywhere, likely because she was in pain and, imo, her owners are awful people and she was picking up on that vibe. They took her to be euthanized, at 2 years old! Fortunately the vet they took her to reached out to us. She was assessed by our vet and was deemed to be perfectly healthy (no UTI, etc.) and she quickly found her forever home with a sweet widow. If you are able, please consider volunteering at your local animal rescue. They are so important!
As someone who grew up working in an animal shelter and with cat rescues, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about this. Animals are not disposable and there are a lot of sick people out there. I have so many horror stories and so much trauma. Hold animal abusers accountable.
There are just certain people that just hearing their name I'm disgusted. Brittany Dawn is one of those people for me smh. Poor Niko, all the people she scammed, & people she continues to con
It's rather shocking how little empathy some people have, especially for their own pets. Niko really only knew her as their family, and being essentially thrown away as soon as they weren't a cute puppy anymore is sickening.
The biggest issue is that she continues to get dog after dog after dog. It’s so irresponsible and honestly, heartless. They’re not props, not content. Learn about a breed before you get it to see if it’s right. NONE are right for her. It makes me sick! It’s so cruel & IMO it says a LOTTT about her character. She’s supposed to love all Gods creatures but we all know her Christian rebrand was the best way for her to make more money than she deserves for less work!
She’s a fake Christian so it makes sense! She’s peddling to the crazy Christians (as a Christian I will say that is sadly most of them) and just saying what they want to hear. I can almost guarantee she doesn’t believe in the religion and is just using it to money 😂
I had to rehome 2 cats who just stopped getting along with my older disabled cat. One is currently happily living with a playmate at my grandma's. The other got adopted by a lovely family through the shelter. I felt terrible and I took every precaution to make sure they got to a good place. I cannot imagine not giving a shit about where your pets end up.
I had two that beat up my senior cat. I'm lucky enough to have a home big enough to keep them separate. I don't know what I would have done if I was renting!😭
I live in a very rural area, and people see our house and go "oh, they'll feed my cat" and dump them. We recently reached 7 cats again (we adopt them and more show up 🙃 but 5 are just ours now lol) but you just gotta do it. Our neighbor helps, which is huge. People who dump their pets are the worst.
I would feel scared to death knowing that I'm scamming people, so it baffles me how people like Brittany Dawn can feel so comfortable doing it for a living
I have a special place in my heart for black kitties, or voids as I call them. I think it's horrible how some people still believe they're bad luck. They can be so sweet and loving and if I could adopt them all I would. I have my own sweet void who'll be 15 years old in May. I don't even want to imagine my life without her. She's curled up, purring, in my lap as I type this. Thank you so much for loving on those sweet babies. It makes my day every time you show them. I love the kitty pallet cleanser.
God, this is so upsetting. I had to rehome my dog a few years ago because my disability got worse and I was no longer able to give him the exercise and playing he needed and deserves. It was so heartbreaking, and I took a lot of time and effort to make sure he was going to a good home. I can't even imagine just... dumping your dog and not caring. Awful.
I found a tiny baby kitty in the garage. I fed him, I introduced him to our 3 small dogs that loved him. They loved him so much the snuck him into the house. Jack the Ripper is now a permanent fixture and if he meows or hisses our chihuahua "nanny" cries and runs to his rescue! He is bigger than her and thinks she is his mom. Now Jack has adopted a cat.....and we love Spirit just as much!
Years ago, a downstairs neighbor in my apartment complex abandoned a mommy cat and her 5 kittens on their patio when they moved out (in the Arizona SUMMER). I called the main office and asked them what it would cost for a pet deposit to bring them in because there's no way in actual hell I'm letting them sit out there on concrete. The office team members were sweet and waived the fee, and I got SO lucky to find homes for all six kitties within two weeks. It's still really heartwarming to go to a friend's house and see one of the kitties all grown up.
I feel like this crowd will appreciate my sister. She cannot absolutely CANNOT drive by an abandoned animal without helping. Weirdly its usually rabbits? Please stop getting them for funsies people, I'm tired of rehoming them 😂 but because of this she's no longer allowed in my house if she can't open the door herself. Because if she can't open the door it 100% means the little shit has another rescued rabbit in her arms. I just ran out of safe places to send them too 😅 I only know so many non meat farms and responsible bunny parents
My mom and I too took in a mommy cat and her 4 babies. Worked with a rescue to find a home for the mom, found a home for 2 of the kittens with a friend of a friend and ended up keeping 2 of them ourselves because we couldn’t let them go, we loved them too much. They are now 3 years old and are such a blessing P.S Are you doing a doc on the whole JLO thing?
Her story about getting rid of Nico because he had too much energy and she had anxiety is so wild to me. I have a malamute/husky, and I didn't do research before I got him, as he was gifted to me. He had INSANE energy when he was young. I was scratched up and chewed on constantly. I cried so often from frustration and fear that I couldn't handle him and would need to rehome him. But you know what I did, at the ripe old age of 16? I took him to obedience classes, where we constantly had to stand away from everyone while he screamed at me and tried to chew on my ankles. But then he learned, and our relationship got stronger, and he stopped mouthing and jumping on me all the time. We did another round of classes, just to be sure he knew how to do the things, and he passed with flying colors. He is one of the best things in my life now. That's what you do when you commit to having an animal. You do everything in your power to make it work. And if it doesn't, you make damn sure that they end up in a loving home that is equipped to handle whatever issue you couldn't.
I got my dog off Craigslist. Many years ago before I found out how sus it was, she needed removing because she wouldn't stop chasing chickens affecting her livelihood and they tried training. She is a little escape artist so I can't leave her unattended in the yard, but she gets plenty of exercise and socialization and she was well care forced and fixed before I got her complete with medical records. I kept her name. The lady had a heart attack two weeks later. I sent her a picture of Katie and she was so happy to see her happy and said we came at the the right time due to her heart attack. So it can work out, but best to stay away
As someone who has experienced a miscarriage that is down right disgusting and cruel. I would have been mad as well. And the poor doggo my heart breaks for him. The amount of trauma he endured. That woman is one of the most vile individuals I have a had the misfortune of coming across. Thank you and all the people for bring all this to the forefront again. There is no redemption for a monster that continues to cause destruction to others. She needs to take accountability and be banned from all social media. On another note I actually got one of my bulldogs from Craigslist because I wanted to adopt not shop. I had never even thought about how risky that was for the fur babies, luckily mine found a loving forever home. It scares me to think where he could of ended up🥺
I currently have a German shepherd going through his terrible two phases that we got from my local humane society. We were not made aware that he had some minor behavioral issues and we are still actively trying to work with him to get through them. you don't abandon your dog when you get overwhelmed. You use tools to help you and your dog get through them together. Just the thought of doing this to my own dog makes me actually want to cry because I love my little menace to Society on his good days and on his bad days that is what being a pet owner is about. I despise people who think like this it grinds my gears so badly. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Also, the Billing Department is absolutely adorable I love black Cats!!!!
Thank you, Swoop, for continuing to shine light on this! It’s disgusting that wealthy “influencers” continue to think they can get away with abhorrent behavior! We know that all press is good press for these people, & “influencers” often do horribly offensive things publicly for clicks/views, & comments. Engagement (of any kind) lines their pockets, & they take negative comments straight to the bank.
I just saw CC Suarez video on this topic recently and I was fuming then Now I’m even more angry. How anyone could harm a beautiful animal makes me so sick. I have two German shepherds and they can be a handful but they are family and a huge part of my heart ❤
UGH......i might not be the best person in the world.....but i do not have the heart to hurt animals/kids or anything of that stuff. It takes a special kind of evil to harm kids/animals and it makes me sick.
As the fur mom to a beautiful pit bull that we rescued 10 yrs ago tomorrow - this makes me so angry. People treat these animals so terribly. Even 10 years after being loved and cherished in our home the signs of her prior abuse are still there. She runs from the fly swatter though we’ve never struck her. She gets very anxious with loud voices and will hide, though we’ve never yelled at her and aren’t yelling or fighting with each other just being loud humans. To give any dog, but especially a pit bull, to some rando on Craigs List is just unconscionable. I am so glad that Niko is doing better and is getting love and care that he deserves.
As a cat mom, seeing the work and care you put into the whole billing department filled me with so much love. Too often I see mishandling or neglect with animals so this was refreshing and sweet. Also the shot of them all in their Christmas sweaters, omg!🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️
I adopted a stray and found out at her spay appointment she was pregnant. Unfortunately we had to put one of the kittens down today at 6 weeks due to breathing complications. We did everything we could and I'm devastated 💔 I will be making sure the other kittens will go to the best homes possible and if I can't find great homes they will stay with me
Years back my brother took in a stray pregnant mama cat, and she had 6 or 7 solid black babies too. Two were girls and I took one off his hands because I knew how challenging it would be to adopt them out. If I remember correctly, only one other was adopted and the rest still live with his (now ex) girlfriend. I'm so glad he got them all spayed before he left. And yes I still have my beautiful black kitty. I named her Nina ❤
28:00 Even as a fairly superstitious person, I never understood the aversion to owning black cats. Growing up, the only cat I wanted was a solid black shorthair cat, but because my parents are, like, “anti-buying cats,” they took what was available and that was usually a random kitten that had been dumped on friends’ farms, so it was always a mixed bag. Only once did we get a black cat. But, he had a little white diamond on his chest, so, technically, not an “all black” cat.
As always you are impressive and inspirational - which is only a small portion of your positive attributes! A close friend of mine has been involved with animal rescue here in western Canada since Hurricane Katrina, which has broadened my own scope of knowledge in that field. I feel about cats similarly to yourself, and adore every update on your 'billing department'. Continue with your hard work producing the docs that are so genuinely thorough and wonderfully well articulated, that contribute to your audience's understanding of topics that rarely receive such balanced and complete coverage.
Brittany Dawn shouldn't be allowed to own anything alive other than a houseplant and even that is debatable. I wouldn't even want her to have sea monkeys.
The thing you say about committing to animals for life is so true. This is what I try to instill in my kids, and it's also the reason we only adopt older pets. Senior pets need homes too, and we love them so hard for the 3-5 years they are with us.
A man threw his dog out and ended up on my porch. I lived in an apartment and had 3 jobs. I couldnt find a home for the dog. We went on walks 2x per day and after 8 short years he decided to cross the rainbow bridge. I miss him every day. there is NEVER AN EXCUSE!
I have less than zero dollars, and just got a $900 vet bill today. That's what credit cards are for. I promised my boy a good life when he decided to spend his life with me 14 years ago. It's a sacred duty. I can't imagine my life without him.
We adopted a sweet red heeler off of Craigslist. The people we got him from said he preferred to be the only pet in the house. Fast forward two years and my husband rescued a black kitten from a field. The momma was friendly and his basically wild pet until she got attacked by some dogs. He took him and brought him home. He was a spicy kitten for all of two days until he found out that cuddles and upies were awesome. Now hes a happy sweet boy that cuddles with my husband every night also the heeler is the best big brother ever to said cat
Black cats are awesome! My furbaby came to our door one day, 6 months old and starving. She had clearly not been treated well, it was close to Halloween and wouldn’t risk her being out. So instead I fed her half the kitchen, gave her a safe place to recover and she just never left.
My dogs were incredibly interested in our bushes, we found a tortie kitty who we brought into the house. She got plumper as the days went on... she had two all black kittens behind the christmas ornaments boxes! We kept everyone ❤
I have empathy for people who genuinely have to rehome a dog. My 8.5 year old sheltie was rehomed with me last year through a friend of a friend. It was a hard decision for them and a long process and I am so grateful I can care for her in the latter part of her life.
I've missed your energy, truth, and genuine compassion for all (almost) life. I hate hearing about people harming these lives that can't help themselves. My kitties, Prometheus and Purrsephone send their love to the Billing Department. Pro is solid black, Purrsy is black and white. These siblings live to love and love to live. So glad that Niko was found and is in a great home now. I'm binging SWOOP TOO! And next paisa, I'm getting me one of your tees. Love, Light, and and keep Valid!
i'm actually getting a tattoo in honor of my dog who passed away two weeks ago. i cannot even imagine abandoning a dog, i hope that adorable pup is safe
I rescued a Norwegian Forest Cat named Snowy in November. He was surrendered to a vet and the vet couldn't find a shelter with room, so the manager of my local shelter called me as I was looking for a long haired cat. Initially a "shop cat" so I could practice cat grooming on him. If no one took him he would have been put down!! Like no?! I went and got him the next day. He was ANGRY when I got him home. I get why! He was seperated from his brother and abandoned because the owners were too old to handle giving him med and apparently he had the runs? He fights like a mother when I had to give him a pill, but since it was only gab I just let him relax on his own time. He doesn't get along super well with my other two foster fails, but the tolerance is getting better. Anyways I had an onion in my belt, which was the style at the time... Lol anyways when the kitten started meowing he perked up and started nosing around my phone because he heard a wee kitty!💜🐾
I’ve ended up in the ER because I’m allergic to our rescue. Because of my asthma they said she had to go. I told them simply “no”. She’s my baby and isn’t going anywhere. I don’t know or understand how someone can see their big beautiful eyes and leave them. 🤷🏽♀️
Oh no! I want to give you the view girl but at 59 seconds in I had to stop. Animal cruelty is truly demon shit that I cannot stomach. Love ya swoop! Keep up the good work girly!
Swoop I love the little snarky names you give to these people who do hideous things. It gives a moment of.. I don’t know if humor is the right word but it’s the best I could come up with. It definitely makes the story easier to digest. Appreciate you always! ❤
To hell with every person who abandons a pet/domestic animal or child. To hell with them! I'm so glad that poor pup was censored, because I could barely handle the segment as it was. How dare! Poor Niko...
At 24:05, when you were talking about a man of doing horrendous things to kittens he got off Craigslist, I had to go back to actually watch that part because, for a moment, I thought you were talking about Luka Magnotta. And as a Canadian AND and mother to a furry baby, we don't claim Magnotta.
Sadly darker colored dogs are not adopted as much as lighter colored dogs. What is wrong with people? The black cats, people are superstitious, but why on the dogs then? People are crazy. But being superstitious is an incredibly lame reason. The billing department is beautiful and I’m glad Swoop took them in.
All of the wonderful investigative journalism aside, I also really appreciate the use of Erik Satie as the background music. If I remember correctly, that’s one of his Gnossienne, which is a dance in musical terms, but can also mean a moment of awareness that someone you've known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life. Pretty fitting for this style of subject matter.
I've been fostering a mama cat and her three kittens since November. I just got the two boys adopted through a coworker about a month ago. I still have mama and the girl kitten (I'm going to adopt mama cat). It's been frustrating to go to adoption event after adoption event and not have success. But I know that the right home will come along and it will be best for her in the long run. I cannot believe the audacity of Brittany to post her dog on craigslist of all places.
My husbands mom is a cat hoarder. At one point, she had 30+ newborn kittens. It was horrific. I got into contact with a local cat rescue through a friend of mine(Odin bless her ass), and i was able to get the kittens and their mamas taken out of the house. There were only 12 cats after that, but she wouldn't let me get rid of the others, and calls to animal control didn't really do anything sadly, and now she's back up to 40+ cats...
OMG. I looked up the graphic you shared about her dogs. Her latest dog is named Dax, which is the name I gave my new puppy I got last month. I'm appalled. I don't pray, but I will pray that her Dax is treated better than her other dogs and finds a loving home when she gets bored of him. And donate to a local shelter in his name.
It's still hard to believe that the babies from The Billing Department are already grown up and running empires of their own now. Thank you for not giving up on giving them the right home, even in an overwhelming situation with many pets. Your heart is golden.
Niko is looking well in those end of the video pics. Poor little baby though. He looks so sweet and he deserves so much love. I wish I could reach through the screen and give him cuddles ❤
The horrific things that dog has experienced that he can never tell us about… Awful. I don’t even want to think about it. I hope he can make a full recovery and is taken in by someone who spoils him so thoroughly that he forgets all about his tragic past.
that is disgusting 🤮 one of my rescues is a cat that was caged in a closet because she went into heat (sp?) she called me and said can you take this cat it drives me crazy… so we got her in the next 15 minutes, that was 10 years ago and the kitty sleeps on my bed 🛌 with us and our clan 💯💙 animals are a long commitment 💯 ps she is amazing 😻
Where I am it's almost impossible to find a place to help you rehome cats. In our family we end up taking in strays and whenever we've ever tried these places , they say they can't help, bc they have too many others...
doesn't she live in the suburbs and cosplay as a rancher at her parents' place? while her husband cosplays as a veteran and steals all the valour? real power couple i say.
I have a 16-month-old Belgian Malinois named Judge, and I just adopted another Malinois puppy. She is named Storm, but I should have named her Houdini. She can get out of her crate at 16-weeks old. It's happened twice. Did I get all mad? No, what I did do was spend nearly $400 to get a crate she cannot get out of that will be connected to her brother so she doesn't get lonely :) I don't get people who treat animals like handbags. They are family not accessories.
Have you ever had a Malinois before? I’m a dog trainer and that is a breed that most of us even personally wouldn’t own. They are bred to be police dogs for a reason. I wish you luck. 😊
I don't understand this crap man. I have a small farm, I don't make content because I'm absolutely terrified about being roasted by the internet for something I'm doing wrong somewhere somehow. How can you basically all but ensure such a situation for yourself. To the extreme

Side note: I’ve had two black cats. They are the. best…and so smart (I think they have to be and it’s a trait they’ve developed b/c people are dumb). Your clutter of black cats is a life goal of mine! My bathroom has a black cat theme (using nice art…lots of artists, including Picasso, had black cats). I absolutely would have adopted one…all of them if I could have. The option of names does 4 black cats is…I wouldn’t even know where to start deciding a theme.
Please please please do a video about Robert Durst. His are some of my fav cases. With The Jinx pt 2 comimg out it would be SWOOPALICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
RE: I freaking love your work sooo much! I love how you stick up for others and use your platform and voice to make a difference! 💯💯 Thank you for all you Do with Swoop and Swoop Too! I'm totally getting me and my son (who also loves you!)! Some Swoop Academy/Petty University apparel. I hope this isn't too stupid of a question, but do you send any of your Petty University clothing with Your autograph? And could you possibly one day post a link to all of your music? I would love to have a way to listen to some of your art since we got a few sneak peeks on some of the newest videos you've done. I know you have thousands of people on here and probably not likely I'll get an answer back, but I hope I do! Thank you for what you do forever giving the silent a voice! You rock!!! Swoop swoop!!!
Is this your real hair or is it a wig please? I love the color purple and you are beautyfull woman and I love your comments in your video's. Greetings from Ilona out of Belgium in Europe. 👍🏻✌️
People who use animals for clout, just to throw them away, should be jailed and never allowed to own a pet again
As someone who works in a shelter I can promise she’s on state wide “do not adopt” lists. It doesn’t take much for us to do this tbh.
And this?? Is what she’ll do if she gets that baby she wants naturally! She’s already done it to the foster baby she had!! Gave that up as well!
I would be absolutely heartbroken if my cat even got out the front door and ran down the street. I have a tag on her collar that has my phone number on it (and a warning that I might be crying on the call), just to AVOID my pet getting lost or hurt. I might even feed her too much because I don't want her to be hungry.
The thought of someone PURPOSLEY abandoning and starving their pet is absolutely sickening. Anyone that actually loves their pet would be just as sickened by it.
@ville__ Oh my God you're so cooooool with your profile pic swastika band on your arm.
Agreed
There's a special place in Hell for individuals who decide to have/adopt kids or get a pet for Clout and Cash. Living beings are NOT toys or props!
You mean like the OG rehoming you tube mom? I haven’t thought about her in a long while.
Esp when the dogs are breeds like pitbulls or bulldogs who are bred to be deformed
@ville__I don’t know if you are trolling or if you lived under a rock for years. She is not friends with this groomer, and she actively denounced her predatory behaviour.
@ville__ Where is your proof? In the wise words of Carl Sagan: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
@@Dither87A month late, but it's a troll, better not interact with them.
I once had a kitty that showed up at work one night. For the next few days, she kept using my car as shelter from the sun. I finally decided to take her home, get her cleaned up, and then take her to a shelter. However, I was new to the area, so I was having a hard time figuring out where to take her. Then I realized that a hurricane was getting ready to hit and it would be hectic at a shelter afterwards. So I figured I would just wait.
So, anyway, Wendy is now 12 years old and is currently yelling at me because I was suppose to fed her six minutes ago and how dare I make her wait! 😂
Yes, this is how the cat distribution system works. Signed, mom of 6 kitties
Excuse you, the audacity!
- sincerely a lady woken by a doberman with a husky attitude and I didn't feed her according to her exact schedule because I wanted a nap. how dare 😂❤
Did you ever get her checked for a chip or post photos of a found cat. Cats do roam and hide under cars when they have owners. You may of made someone think their cat died
@@Junitunes I did take her to the vet and they didn't find a chip.
🤣😂How dare you make Wendy wait six minutes for food! She's STARVING! LOL! That's usually my wake up alarm for my babies when I don't wake up right away in the morning to give them their wet food. They have dry food, but man, you'd think otherwise while they trip me from the bedroom to the kitchen XD
Add to the fact that not only is Crariglist its own Sus Pool, "rehoming" a PITBULL on that site is the worst thing you could ever do. They are one of the top breeds to be victimized through that site. Shame on her. I'm so glad Niko has found love and care.
OH THANKMGOD! THE PUP IS OKAY?! OH THANK HEAVENS
@ville__tea? Really? Recent receipts?
Right, and people who do this are further stigmatizing this breed by doing that. Which in return makes it difficult for other pitbulls to find good homes.
@TheFinalFanboy that’s what I thought too, cause I was like “she just made a long ass video taking Colleen to the fires”
@TheFinalFanboyhe’s a well known bully and a troll on multiple channels. I report him everywhere I see him.
We had a pregnant stray cat give birth in our yard, then her kitten got pregnant and gave birth in our house and then grandma cat gave birth again before we were able to catch her and fix her. By the end of it, only 1 cat was able to be re-homed despite many efforts so we were caring for 12 cats in the same house. Not once was selling them on Craigslist or abandonment ever considered. It's disgusting how anyone could treat an animal like that
You are a rockstar!
We currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats and take care of 6 to 8 cats outside. Lol
I can't let them go hungry?! And I have winter shelters cause it's central Washington....
Dumb friends league wasn’t an option? 12 cats in one house is pretty disgusting…
@@ariellefitzgerald1222 ........ they said they were caring for 12 cats at one point, not that they still are. clearly, there was a solution worked out.
also, idk why you're mentioning a random denver shelter lmfao - i'm pretty sure not everyone online lives there
@@joemama-zm4de I didn’t know it was exclusive to Colorado 🤣 my bad.
@@ariellefitzgerald1222 omg I assumed you meant "dumb friends league" as in giving them to friends XD I had no idea that was a shelter name!
I'm sorry but anyone who uses living breathing animals entirely for their own self gratification show disturbing levels of narcissism, but then abandoning those animals when they aren't convenient anymore shows an innate cruelty bordering on psycho/sociopathy. It's unacceptable.
She's has a lot of traits of psychopathy for sure. Glib, charming, lack of remorse, image-focused.
She only cares about herself and what others can provide for her. Animals, husbands, friends, children... She discards them when she's done. Her whole personality is performative. People like her should NOT be allowed to foster children OR adopt animals. Ever. There is no longterm care and love for anyone in BD's life (or people like her)
she treats every animal she's had like a handbag, also the same way she treats people, almost like she actually has no compassion
I will truly never understand how people can harm animals in any way. Makes me sick.
My elderly lizard is currently sleeping on my lap as I watch this. People who use animals to make themselves look better in the public eye, while not giving a rat's ass in the background, need to be punished much, _much_ more harshly. I can't fathom how people can do this.
Sounds like a cool buddy
Animals are part of the family. Take care of them and they'll take care of you. I don't live with my parents anymore so rarely get to see her, but my almost 15 year old Cavalier has been spoiled her whole life and takes care of us in return. After my surgery, she was so gentle without seeing any dressings as it was cold so I was in long sleeves. Same deal with my mum and her surgery 2 years ago. My little girl learnt to alert to my mental health episodes before they started and when the episode would start whether it be a panic attack, crying, mania, trauma episode or a psychotic episode, she would stay by my side 24/7, direct all of my attention to her by nuzzling me for pets or booping my face if I start crying, she'd cuddle with me at night even though she prefers sleeping on tiles in her old age and she'd even sleep on my lap on the couch for long periods even though I'm very smol and not as comfortable as the rest of my family. She did the same to my brother when he was grieving the deaths of lots of his friends who were in a major accident.
She's not specially trained to do this, she's not a service dog. She just loves her humans because that's all she's ever known.
It sounds so nice and relaxing to be chilling with your elderly lizard 🦎☺
Aw tell your senior lizard I said hi. 👋
I agree, especially because the relatability brings in more profit.
She has abused, neglected, and/or abandoned every animal she's owned. Her husband murdered one. And she has endangered the lives of so many people, including children, when she attempted to be a foster mom. Thank goodness the system realized she is not a safe placement, and no children are any longer under her care. And hopefully NO CHILD EVER WILL BE.
She's pregnant. Just saw the post on ig.
@gutmanale9140 how terrible for baby who will become mommy's little cash cow
@@gutmanale9140😱😱😱😱😱
Given that it's HER, that prospect frightens me..
@@gutmanale9140oh good Lord. 🤦🏻♀️
Lets not forget that her husband SHOT their dog after it unfotunately got hit by a car (because of her negligence) instead of rushing it to the vet.
I've found that local breed specific shelters or rescues (especially PITTIES) that if you offer to fund a foster, you can safely rehome your very wonderful pet through a proper vetting.
If it's seriously not a financial issue, then take the extra steps to ensure your voiceless pet gets to a safe new place.
This is why I also love Jackson Galaxy. Whenever he's asked about the worst cat from 'My cat from hell 'he always says it wasn't the cat misbehaving, it was the human who didn't want to be bothered understanding WHY that cat acted like that. Your dog isn't 'clicking' with you means you aren't in tune or care about his needs and can't be bothered with understanding why. I've taken in plenty of stray cats and seen many turn from feral cats into kitties that see they are loved and safe. Tossing them away is just screwed up and I truly hate this woman
💯 totally agree
I’ve had cats my entire life, and still learn from Jackson Galaxy. He’s wonderful, and so was his show.
For our wedding, instead of wedding favors we made a donation to the shelter we got our 4 rescues from. Rescues are always looking for food, toy and blanket donations! Even if you can’t give money, time with the animals is helpful as well!
I love this
This is so good !
I love this idea!
We found out from a kid’s book that you can read to animals in shelters. Not only to donate time so they’re not so lonely, but to also to get animals used to being around people. This was the sweetest thing (even though it’s sad it’s needed) & my kids want to do this now 😻🐶
You could say this is a new Dawn of terror for Brittany
Lmao
One can only hope, for all the hell she & her husband have put her animals through.
😂 thank you for that
Damn I wish I'd have thought of KillaD69's comment lol. Well played.
@ville__ you sounds like a useless incel
Shes so painfully problematic. I hate how people suddenly follow her word by the masses, out of religious belief. She is a con artist on ALL levels and will scam any and everyone who will look her way. Shame
Yep.. Jesus is her new grift.
It's so sad how many people use religion as a grift.
she looks amorexic.
@@JENKEN425 looks have nothing to do with her terrible behavior.
It’s insane. It’s as if all of her “sins” have been forgiven, forgotten and swept under the rug.
I also had a stray pregnant cat in my care! She would come to our porch, sit on our laps, when we’d walk around the block she’d follow and one day she started coming in my house. I eventually let her in to stay & she had 5 adorable kittens! I raised them for 24 weeks. I didn’t want random ppl I didn’t know taking the babies. I gave 1 to my neighbor, 1 my mom, 1 a coworker & 1 to a girl I knew, for free. I kept 1. I told everyone if they changed their mind just give them back. The 1 girl did change her mind & gave 1 back but I love him too much to rehome him again. I went from no cats, to a cat & 2 kittens. Couldn’t be happier! I agree with Swoop & totally know how it feels! 😻
She chose to come to your house and worked her very important shift in the cat distribution system! What a sweet story. Wish your cat family the best ❤
All these wholesome adoption stories are the best part of this video 😭😭😭 love swoop but y'all got me out here tearing up
how sweet )
Yessss Swoop..I can't stand people who don't rerehome animals responsibly. I rescued 6 kittens from a crazy situation, and they were super young. One passed because the fleas were too bad, and she went downhill overnight. Was absolutely heartbreaking, but we ended up keeping the black kitty. We found one a home locally with a vet tech, and the other 3, we drove to Michigan (8 hrs from us). We tried for weeks but couldn't find them homes. My husband's aunt worked for a rescue there, and she sent us pictures as they were adopted 😁 they all found loving homes. People can be so ignorant and heartless.
We took in a pregnant stray kitty. The original plan was to adopt out the babies, but my mum and I got attached and we now have five cats. One Mama and her four grown kids.
I got a black cat who was 2 years old. When she got older she got Diabetes. I learned to inject her insulin. When her arthritis got bad. I put in stairs and a ramp for her, I took her for acupuncture and medicated her for it. When she could no longer stand and showed me she had enough in this world. I carried her to the vet myself. I stayed with her to the very end. 12 years with her. Not a moment would I ever consider abandoning her. I did sometimes wonder if it was getting too much for me but with her age I did not think she would have a better chance in a shelter or rescue. So I kept going, I kept looking after her, loving her. I miss her every single day. My black void was a very special cat. I wish I could have another 12 years with her. Do it all again. Pets are not disposable. They are family members. From arrival to final moments, you should care for them. If you can not, do the right thing for their future. Work with a shelter or rescue, do not just abandon that family member. I am glad the Billing department is doing well. What are their names? I only remember Automo-bill and porkchop? If I were closer i would adopt a void.- there is a black cat shaped hole in my heart at the moment.
I've had 5 fosters throughout my years. Two had hyperthyroidism and needed medication twice a day. It never occurred me to rehome. I'm a ride or die for my furry housemates! 😂
@@KelseyDrummer Damn straight. I only momentarily debated rehoming due to my own health conditions interfering with her getting best care. In the end though I think I was her best care. To the end, I owed that cat my life. Least I could do was my very best.
I've got my little void warm on my lap right now, that love is so so special ❤️ you should definitely adopt a new lil one
@@aconerty6392 I have another cat. She is 12. I think when its her time I will get another void. The only cat she has ever got on with was my Lady. My void. Iris is just a derpy idiot. I love her but I don't think she would like if I got another baby. So I will wait. Loving my idiot Iris in her silliness. I have had her since a kitten. She is too silly.
I'm fostering a void right now if anyone is interested! Him and his siblings were abandoned by their owner before they moved out of country (my previous land lord). He's a BIG kitty- 19lbs shorthair, fixed, EXCELLENT napping/spooning/cuddling/crying/TV watching companion, plays fetch, loves to be brushed, comes when you call him, loves belly rubs and chin scritches, walks on harness and leash, goes kayaking and fishing (basically a dog, with the luxury and convenience of being a cat)... UTD on shots, last checkup/dental in Dec, very healthy 2yo! Also SUPER quiet (I'm used to my 18yo ginger who will serenade the house at 3am from the top of the stairs and turns EVERYthing into an argument). I'm in San Diego, CA- Fly here, take a weekend vacation, fly home with a new friend :D I'm getting way too attached to them and I need to focus on my geriatric kitty before taking on other responsibility. He comes first as he's been with me almost 2 decades, afterall :/
Black kitty owner here. People are so weird about black cats. When I was thinking of getting another cat (before getting my black cat) my grandma told me specifically not to take a black cat because "they bring bad luck". I hadn't even thought about what color I wanted my cat to be, it didn't matter to me. Well, because she said not to get a black cat, and for such a stupid reason, I started focusing on black cats. Because I found her take so annoying and since she claimed that everyone she knows avoid black cats and even "get rid of black kittens" I wanted to find out how large this problem actually is. Even if the problem wasn't actually a thing I would've focused on a black cat just to spite my grandma (I love her but she has certain opinions I can't stand and regarding those I can be a little shit by not straight out arguing with her about them but passive aggressively doing the exact thing she hates) but then I found out how bad the situation regarding black cats actually is. And I was like unless a situation falls in my lap where another colored cat needs to be rescued by me I'm gonna adopt a black cat. And I did and I couldn't be happier about my decision. I love all my cats equally as much, the past and the living, but I have to say that my baby girl, the black cat I adopted, has by far the sweetest, cuddliest nature. And that says a lot since all of my cats have been incredibly sweet and loving.
This is how I got my boy Noodle. I found out how hard black cats have it with adoption & came across him - the only black kitten at the adoption event & they had him and his sister separate from the rest. His sister was white and black, & now I wish I got her too.
That’s why I’m getting a little void kitty when I have the money to! I love cats, especially black cats, but because of my parents superstitions we never got a black cat. Now that I have my own place I’m getting one!
I have a black baby girl. She is the biggest baby I have, which says a lot because I have a fat orange tabby. 😂😂 I nicknamed her my little Vampire Bat when I got her because of how pointy her ears were at the time (she later got fluid in both of her ears due to some issue and they didn't "deflate" properly, so they became like cauliflower ears and I ended up re-nicknaming her to my little Fruit Bat). I want another black baby because of how truly disgusting people have been historically to these poor babies, all over superstition and other bs reasons.
My boyfriend is a firm believer that my life turned around once I got my black cat. He believes there is a black cat goddess that brings good luck to black cat owners. (I mean it’s more a figure of speech than a real belief). My black cat and tuxedo cats are my life and have brought me so much luck and happiness.
I recently Google "cats that bring good" and black cats were on the list of protecting and warding off evil. Of all the cats I've ever had in my 43 years, black cats are the absolute best.
Just 2 minutes in and I'm already getting heated, why is this person allowed to still go unchecked??
How does she have an audience is my question... Who is watching his horrible excuse for a human?
Because she hides behind "Jesus forgives" persona. It's awful.
Because of her whyyyy-te tears and fake Jaysus content.
Same!!
and she has a large following!! fucking angers meeee 🤬🤬🤬
As soon as I heard that Brittany put out an ad to rehome her dog on Craigslist, I cringed. Craigslist has a very notorious reputation! And the internet was not kidding in regards to Fundie/Republican Woman Baby Voice!
Craigslist is not the problem the problem is that she abandoned her dog instead of rehoming him I guess nobody responded to her post poor baby
She knew. She was banking on someone bad getting him.
Bless you for adopting the black kitties that were not able to find homes. Today marks 3 years since my beautiful black kitty Abygail died. She was 19 years old and my faithful companion. I still miss her. When I see your babies, my heart fills with joy. Black cats are so beautiful and they are all my Baby to me. Stay safe. ✌️😺
I'm sorry for your loss. Black kitties are the sweetest babies. I have a black male who was the first one to meet my foster fail baby boy. He is so good with the babies. That's his baby now, even though that little orange boy is unhinged. lol
When our newest dog a 3 lb chihuahua because insanely protective of our newborn (he would get into every baby item and snuggle him and bite anyone picking him up) we spent 4 MONTHS finding a good home for the sweetie. If you could get him away from baby he was just a cuddle bug and very loving. He just was convinced our son was his puppy 😊
I knew a Maltese mix that was like that. She was a very nice and calm dog, but when she was in her owner's lap, she would snap at you if you came close. Thank you for taking the time to make sure the dog was in a good home.
We had a husky/wolf mix who did the same with me as a baby😂 she was my best friend for her last 10 years of her life. Course she never nipped at people unless they got too aggressive with me. My friend is rehoming a lizard and told me shes going to interview people and ask for their current set up of current reptiles and she won't be homing him with someone who doesn't currently have another reptile. Its not hard being a decent pet parent when things dont work out.
@ville__😂😂😂
That's actually adorable :P
@@knitwitchpgh I’m so glad they are making sure no first time reptile parents. they are tricky pets and can get sick easily, my daughters boyfriend has one.
She should not be a parent. The fact she and her husband were approved for foster care is disgusting.
It shows how desperate the foster system is. There are waaay more kids than open homes.
@@Lukkaboc She also went through some Christian organization.
theres some crazy horror stories about foster and adoption and sperm banks.. they dont background check the people adopting/buying children/animals… some stories are literally just human trafficking via these systems :/ so many lives ruined bc the system let a pedo or a narcissist/abusive person adopt 💔
You got to be kidding me!?! She has a law suit against her for fraud & she abandoned her pet. This woman shouldn’t be allow to care for a blade of grass let alone a child.
remember if you love kids and think you could give them a good life, do your best to do your part for the children who would never have a life like that without you. everyone deserves the opportunity for a good life
I volunteer at a pet shelter. Some people do have legitimate reasons on why they can keep them, like if the owner is not in the best of health. If you cant keep animal then get it rehomed, people that do stuff like this are sick.
That fact that someone can get a child and or pet just for attention, and then toss them aside when they no longer serve that purpose, is so beyond messed up. Pets and kids are living beings who have hearts, souls and feelings. Not some objects to be used and then disregarded. They deserve genuine love and care. What also got me is that she stole someone’s tragic story, their story of pain and passed it off as her own. Like is she serious?!!! What kind of crap is that?!!!!!
I got my two favorite chickens from Craigslist. A tween girl got in over her head when she ordered one of every kind off a fancy breed chicken website. After a few months of taking care of 30+ chickens, she decided to downgrade via Craigslist. Luckily I’m not a psychopath and give those chickens the most spoiled life ever but who knows where the rest wound up.
i just adopted a rescue dg that came from a neglect situation, and hearing about niko broke my heart. i don't consider myself an exceptionally good person, i'm normal at best, but i can't fathom anyone being so heartless to a dog. cosmo is scared of everything but so, so eager to love and be loved. it's unthinkable.
Nico going to the "trainer" has the same vibe as "Chad [Franke] is going to the wilderness camp!"
I love you so much. I am a volunteer application screener for a cat rescue in PA, my crime junkie brain loves deep diving into people and their ability to care for animals and making sure our rescued kitties find their forever homes. There was a poor kitty, a 2yo Himalayan, who came into our rescue. Her owners bought her from a breeder. They were upset that she was scratching their furniture, so they had this poor kitty declawed. She then started peeing everywhere, likely because she was in pain and, imo, her owners are awful people and she was picking up on that vibe. They took her to be euthanized, at 2 years old! Fortunately the vet they took her to reached out to us. She was assessed by our vet and was deemed to be perfectly healthy (no UTI, etc.) and she quickly found her forever home with a sweet widow. If you are able, please consider volunteering at your local animal rescue. They are so important!
HAPPY SWOOP DAY EVERYONE
As someone who grew up working in an animal shelter and with cat rescues, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about this. Animals are not disposable and there are a lot of sick people out there. I have so many horror stories and so much trauma. Hold animal abusers accountable.
There are just certain people that just hearing their name I'm disgusted. Brittany Dawn is one of those people for me smh. Poor Niko, all the people she scammed, & people she continues to con
It's rather shocking how little empathy some people have, especially for their own pets. Niko really only knew her as their family, and being essentially thrown away as soon as they weren't a cute puppy anymore is sickening.
The biggest issue is that she continues to get dog after dog after dog. It’s so irresponsible and honestly, heartless. They’re not props, not content. Learn about a breed before you get it to see if it’s right. NONE are right for her. It makes me sick! It’s so cruel & IMO it says a LOTTT about her character. She’s supposed to love all Gods creatures but we all know her Christian rebrand was the best way for her to make more money than she deserves for less work!
This. And not once has she owned up, asked for forgiveness, or apologized for her actions (as far as I'm aware).
She’s a fake Christian so it makes sense! She’s peddling to the crazy Christians (as a Christian I will say that is sadly most of them) and just saying what they want to hear. I can almost guarantee she doesn’t believe in the religion and is just using it to money 😂
I had to rehome 2 cats who just stopped getting along with my older disabled cat. One is currently happily living with a playmate at my grandma's. The other got adopted by a lovely family through the shelter. I felt terrible and I took every precaution to make sure they got to a good place. I cannot imagine not giving a shit about where your pets end up.
I had two that beat up my senior cat. I'm lucky enough to have a home big enough to keep them separate. I don't know what I would have done if I was renting!😭
I live in a very rural area, and people see our house and go "oh, they'll feed my cat" and dump them. We recently reached 7 cats again (we adopt them and more show up 🙃 but 5 are just ours now lol) but you just gotta do it. Our neighbor helps, which is huge. People who dump their pets are the worst.
I would feel scared to death knowing that I'm scamming people, so it baffles me how people like Brittany Dawn can feel so comfortable doing it for a living
I have a special place in my heart for black kitties, or voids as I call them. I think it's horrible how some people still believe they're bad luck. They can be so sweet and loving and if I could adopt them all I would. I have my own sweet void who'll be 15 years old in May. I don't even want to imagine my life without her. She's curled up, purring, in my lap as I type this. Thank you so much for loving on those sweet babies. It makes my day every time you show them. I love the kitty pallet cleanser.
God, this is so upsetting. I had to rehome my dog a few years ago because my disability got worse and I was no longer able to give him the exercise and playing he needed and deserves. It was so heartbreaking, and I took a lot of time and effort to make sure he was going to a good home. I can't even imagine just... dumping your dog and not caring. Awful.
I found a tiny baby kitty in the garage. I fed him, I introduced him to our 3 small dogs that loved him. They loved him so much the snuck him into the house. Jack the Ripper is now a permanent fixture and if he meows or hisses our chihuahua "nanny" cries and runs to his rescue! He is bigger than her and thinks she is his mom. Now Jack has adopted a cat.....and we love Spirit just as much!
Years ago, a downstairs neighbor in my apartment complex abandoned a mommy cat and her 5 kittens on their patio when they moved out (in the Arizona SUMMER). I called the main office and asked them what it would cost for a pet deposit to bring them in because there's no way in actual hell I'm letting them sit out there on concrete. The office team members were sweet and waived the fee, and I got SO lucky to find homes for all six kitties within two weeks. It's still really heartwarming to go to a friend's house and see one of the kitties all grown up.
I feel like this crowd will appreciate my sister. She cannot absolutely CANNOT drive by an abandoned animal without helping. Weirdly its usually rabbits? Please stop getting them for funsies people, I'm tired of rehoming them 😂 but because of this she's no longer allowed in my house if she can't open the door herself. Because if she can't open the door it 100% means the little shit has another rescued rabbit in her arms. I just ran out of safe places to send them too 😅 I only know so many non meat farms and responsible bunny parents
This is so funny lol.
My sister in law has a small army of dogs she's rescued from the side of the road! People like that are so amazing and kind
@@aconerty6392 I absolutely love that.
My mom and I too took in a mommy cat and her 4 babies. Worked with a rescue to find a home for the mom, found a home for 2 of the kittens with a friend of a friend and ended up keeping 2 of them ourselves because we couldn’t let them go, we loved them too much. They are now 3 years old and are such a blessing
P.S Are you doing a doc on the whole JLO thing?
Her story about getting rid of Nico because he had too much energy and she had anxiety is so wild to me. I have a malamute/husky, and I didn't do research before I got him, as he was gifted to me. He had INSANE energy when he was young. I was scratched up and chewed on constantly. I cried so often from frustration and fear that I couldn't handle him and would need to rehome him. But you know what I did, at the ripe old age of 16? I took him to obedience classes, where we constantly had to stand away from everyone while he screamed at me and tried to chew on my ankles. But then he learned, and our relationship got stronger, and he stopped mouthing and jumping on me all the time. We did another round of classes, just to be sure he knew how to do the things, and he passed with flying colors. He is one of the best things in my life now. That's what you do when you commit to having an animal. You do everything in your power to make it work. And if it doesn't, you make damn sure that they end up in a loving home that is equipped to handle whatever issue you couldn't.
I got my dog off Craigslist. Many years ago before I found out how sus it was, she needed removing because she wouldn't stop chasing chickens affecting her livelihood and they tried training. She is a little escape artist so I can't leave her unattended in the yard, but she gets plenty of exercise and socialization and she was well care forced and fixed before I got her complete with medical records. I kept her name. The lady had a heart attack two weeks later. I sent her a picture of Katie and she was so happy to see her happy and said we came at the the right time due to her heart attack. So it can work out, but best to stay away
I agree I got my gorgeous German shepherd off Craigslist I love him dearly
She "hides" behind religion... Be religious but damn stop saying God this and God that... That bugs me to no end
Also, the tiny meows are adorable
My thing with people like that is, are you truly a believer? Or do you just think LARPing as a Christian will make you look like a good person?
🤦
I completely agree! She’s FAKE!
When I hear about animals being harmed, I can only think about if someone tried to harm my cat, Meatball, and how I would lose my mind entirely.
💯
Side note: Meatball is a great name
Please give Meatball a boop for me!
My bf said he’d go John Wick on whoever would hurt my cats
@FeyPax YUS the only proper response imo
That's the first real word my son pronounced - 'meatballs'. Real gravely, too.
As someone who has experienced a miscarriage that is down right disgusting and cruel. I would have been mad as well. And the poor doggo my heart breaks for him. The amount of trauma he endured. That woman is one of the most vile individuals I have a had the misfortune of coming across. Thank you and all the people for bring all this to the forefront again. There is no redemption for a monster that continues to cause destruction to others. She needs to take accountability and be banned from all social media.
On another note I actually got one of my bulldogs from Craigslist because I wanted to adopt not shop. I had never even thought about how risky that was for the fur babies, luckily mine found a loving forever home. It scares me to think where he could of ended up🥺
Okay but the billing department in Christmas sweaters!?! Tax season has never looked this festive 😂
I currently have a German shepherd going through his terrible two phases that we got from my local humane society. We were not made aware that he had some minor behavioral issues and we are still actively trying to work with him to get through them. you don't abandon your dog when you get overwhelmed. You use tools to help you and your dog get through them together. Just the thought of doing this to my own dog makes me actually want to cry because I love my little menace to Society on his good days and on his bad days that is what being a pet owner is about. I despise people who think like this it grinds my gears so badly. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Also, the Billing Department is absolutely adorable I love black Cats!!!!
Heeeyyyyyy that’s me!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for the shoutout!
Thank you, Swoop, for continuing to shine light on this! It’s disgusting that wealthy “influencers” continue to think they can get away with abhorrent behavior!
We know that all press is good press for these people, & “influencers” often do horribly offensive things publicly for clicks/views, & comments. Engagement (of any kind) lines their pockets, & they take negative comments straight to the bank.
I just saw CC Suarez video on this topic recently and I was fuming then Now I’m even more angry. How anyone could harm a beautiful animal makes me so sick. I have two German shepherds and they can be a handful but they are family and a huge part of my heart ❤
I heard it said once, Uf an adult doesn’t feel safe, trusted or valued at home, they can generally move out; but animals can't.
That struck me.
UGH......i might not be the best person in the world.....but i do not have the heart to hurt animals/kids or anything of that stuff. It takes a special kind of evil to harm kids/animals and it makes me sick.
As the fur mom to a beautiful pit bull that we rescued 10 yrs ago tomorrow - this makes me so angry. People treat these animals so terribly.
Even 10 years after being loved and cherished in our home the signs of her prior abuse are still there. She runs from the fly swatter though we’ve never struck her. She gets very anxious with loud voices and will hide, though we’ve never yelled at her and aren’t yelling or fighting with each other just being loud humans.
To give any dog, but especially a pit bull, to some rando on Craigs List is just unconscionable.
I am so glad that Niko is doing better and is getting love and care that he deserves.
As a cat mom, seeing the work and care you put into the whole billing department filled me with so much love. Too often I see mishandling or neglect with animals so this was refreshing and sweet. Also the shot of them all in their Christmas sweaters, omg!🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️
I adopted a stray and found out at her spay appointment she was pregnant. Unfortunately we had to put one of the kittens down today at 6 weeks due to breathing complications. We did everything we could and I'm devastated 💔 I will be making sure the other kittens will go to the best homes possible and if I can't find great homes they will stay with me
Years back my brother took in a stray pregnant mama cat, and she had 6 or 7 solid black babies too. Two were girls and I took one off his hands because I knew how challenging it would be to adopt them out. If I remember correctly, only one other was adopted and the rest still live with his (now ex) girlfriend. I'm so glad he got them all spayed before he left. And yes I still have my beautiful black kitty. I named her Nina ❤
28:00 Even as a fairly superstitious person, I never understood the aversion to owning black cats. Growing up, the only cat I wanted was a solid black shorthair cat, but because my parents are, like, “anti-buying cats,” they took what was available and that was usually a random kitten that had been dumped on friends’ farms, so it was always a mixed bag. Only once did we get a black cat. But, he had a little white diamond on his chest, so, technically, not an “all black” cat.
As always you are impressive and inspirational - which is only a small portion of your positive attributes! A close friend of mine has been involved with animal rescue here in western Canada since Hurricane Katrina, which has broadened my own scope of knowledge in that field. I feel about cats similarly to yourself, and adore every update on your 'billing department'. Continue with your hard work producing the docs that are so genuinely thorough and wonderfully well articulated, that contribute to your audience's understanding of topics that rarely receive such balanced and complete coverage.
Brittany Dawn shouldn't be allowed to own anything alive other than a houseplant and even that is debatable. I wouldn't even want her to have sea monkeys.
Well she’s pregnant…..😢😢😢😢
The thing you say about committing to animals for life is so true. This is what I try to instill in my kids, and it's also the reason we only adopt older pets. Senior pets need homes too, and we love them so hard for the 3-5 years they are with us.
Can’t believe I caught this with “posted 8 seconds ago” 🥰
A man threw his dog out and ended up on my porch. I lived in an apartment and had 3 jobs. I couldnt find a home for the dog. We went on walks 2x per day and after 8 short years he decided to cross the rainbow bridge. I miss him every day. there is NEVER AN EXCUSE!
PERFECT TIMING LET'S GOOOO. I got me a lil glass of wine and leftover spaghetti. Buns up
Luxury!
I have less than zero dollars, and just got a $900 vet bill today. That's what credit cards are for. I promised my boy a good life when he decided to spend his life with me 14 years ago. It's a sacred duty. I can't imagine my life without him.
We adopted a sweet red heeler off of Craigslist. The people we got him from said he preferred to be the only pet in the house. Fast forward two years and my husband rescued a black kitten from a field. The momma was friendly and his basically wild pet until she got attacked by some dogs. He took him and brought him home. He was a spicy kitten for all of two days until he found out that cuddles and upies were awesome. Now hes a happy sweet boy that cuddles with my husband every night also the heeler is the best big brother ever to said cat
Awww the kitties you rescued with their little sweaters made me smile, on such a sad video.
Thanks for sharing I had no idea!
Black cats are awesome! My furbaby came to our door one day, 6 months old and starving. She had clearly not been treated well, it was close to Halloween and wouldn’t risk her being out. So instead I fed her half the kitchen, gave her a safe place to recover and she just never left.
I love this story!
My dogs were incredibly interested in our bushes, we found a tortie kitty who we brought into the house. She got plumper as the days went on... she had two all black kittens behind the christmas ornaments boxes! We kept everyone ❤
I have empathy for people who genuinely have to rehome a dog. My 8.5 year old sheltie was rehomed with me last year through a friend of a friend. It was a hard decision for them and a long process and I am so grateful I can care for her in the latter part of her life.
I've missed your energy, truth, and genuine compassion for all (almost) life. I hate hearing about people harming these lives that can't help themselves. My kitties, Prometheus and Purrsephone send their love to the Billing Department. Pro is solid black, Purrsy is black and white. These siblings live to love and love to live.
So glad that Niko was found and is in a great home now. I'm binging SWOOP TOO! And next paisa, I'm getting me one of your tees. Love, Light, and and keep Valid!
i'm actually getting a tattoo in honor of my dog who passed away two weeks ago. i cannot even imagine abandoning a dog, i hope that adorable pup is safe
I rescued a Norwegian Forest Cat named Snowy in November. He was surrendered to a vet and the vet couldn't find a shelter with room, so the manager of my local shelter called me as I was looking for a long haired cat. Initially a "shop cat" so I could practice cat grooming on him. If no one took him he would have been put down!! Like no?! I went and got him the next day.
He was ANGRY when I got him home. I get why! He was seperated from his brother and abandoned because the owners were too old to handle giving him med and apparently he had the runs? He fights like a mother when I had to give him a pill, but since it was only gab I just let him relax on his own time.
He doesn't get along super well with my other two foster fails, but the tolerance is getting better. Anyways I had an onion in my belt, which was the style at the time...
Lol anyways when the kitten started meowing he perked up and started nosing around my phone because he heard a wee kitty!💜🐾
😂 It was a good heartwarming story, no onions needed 😂
Thanks for the mention Swoop! So glad she’s still being exposed!
I’ve ended up in the ER because I’m allergic to our rescue. Because of my asthma they said she had to go. I told them simply “no”. She’s my baby and isn’t going anywhere. I don’t know or understand how someone can see their big beautiful eyes and leave them. 🤷🏽♀️
Oh no! I want to give you the view girl but at 59 seconds in I had to stop. Animal cruelty is truly demon shit that I cannot stomach. Love ya swoop! Keep up the good work girly!
There's a happy ending
Swoop I love the little snarky names you give to these people who do hideous things. It gives a moment of.. I don’t know if humor is the right word but it’s the best I could come up with. It definitely makes the story easier to digest. Appreciate you always! ❤
I remember those pix. Not a dog person but I was enraged for that poor pupper. Animal cr*elty & neglect laws need to be SO MUCH stronger.
To hell with every person who abandons a pet/domestic animal or child. To hell with them! I'm so glad that poor pup was censored, because I could barely handle the segment as it was. How dare! Poor Niko...
16:49.. me what the f i pay for no adds on youtube!!!. then looks a the screen and see. oh swoop is showing Brittnanys add..😂😂
At 24:05, when you were talking about a man of doing horrendous things to kittens he got off Craigslist, I had to go back to actually watch that part because, for a moment, I thought you were talking about Luka Magnotta. And as a Canadian AND and mother to a furry baby, we don't claim Magnotta.
Sadly darker colored dogs are not adopted as much as lighter colored dogs. What is wrong with people? The black cats, people are superstitious, but why on the dogs then? People are crazy. But being superstitious is an incredibly lame reason. The billing department is beautiful and I’m glad Swoop took them in.
All of the wonderful investigative journalism aside, I also really appreciate the use of Erik Satie as the background music. If I remember correctly, that’s one of his Gnossienne, which is a dance in musical terms, but can also mean a moment of awareness that someone you've known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life. Pretty fitting for this style of subject matter.
I've been fostering a mama cat and her three kittens since November. I just got the two boys adopted through a coworker about a month ago. I still have mama and the girl kitten (I'm going to adopt mama cat). It's been frustrating to go to adoption event after adoption event and not have success. But I know that the right home will come along and it will be best for her in the long run. I cannot believe the audacity of Brittany to post her dog on craigslist of all places.
My husbands mom is a cat hoarder. At one point, she had 30+ newborn kittens. It was horrific. I got into contact with a local cat rescue through a friend of mine(Odin bless her ass), and i was able to get the kittens and their mamas taken out of the house. There were only 12 cats after that, but she wouldn't let me get rid of the others, and calls to animal control didn't really do anything sadly, and now she's back up to 40+ cats...
I can’t imagine doing this to any of my pets, like wth
OMG. I looked up the graphic you shared about her dogs. Her latest dog is named Dax, which is the name I gave my new puppy I got last month. I'm appalled. I don't pray, but I will pray that her Dax is treated better than her other dogs and finds a loving home when she gets bored of him. And donate to a local shelter in his name.
It's still hard to believe that the babies from The Billing Department are already grown up and running empires of their own now. Thank you for not giving up on giving them the right home, even in an overwhelming situation with many pets. Your heart is golden.
Niko is looking well in those end of the video pics. Poor little baby though. He looks so sweet and he deserves so much love. I wish I could reach through the screen and give him cuddles ❤
The horrific things that dog has experienced that he can never tell us about… Awful. I don’t even want to think about it. I hope he can make a full recovery and is taken in by someone who spoils him so thoroughly that he forgets all about his tragic past.
that is disgusting 🤮
one of my rescues is a cat that was caged in a closet because she went into heat (sp?) she called me and said can you take this cat it drives me crazy… so we got her in the next 15 minutes, that was 10 years ago and the kitty sleeps on my bed 🛌 with us and our clan 💯💙 animals are a long commitment 💯
ps she is amazing 😻
Where I am it's almost impossible to find a place to help you rehome cats. In our family we end up taking in strays and whenever we've ever tried these places , they say they can't help, bc they have too many others...
doesn't she live in the suburbs and cosplay as a rancher at her parents' place? while her husband cosplays as a veteran and steals all the valour? real power couple i say.
Cosplays as a veteran!? 😆 🤣 😂
He’s a cop and a racist one at it !
I have a 16-month-old Belgian Malinois named Judge, and I just adopted another Malinois puppy. She is named Storm, but I should have named her Houdini. She can get out of her crate at 16-weeks old. It's happened twice. Did I get all mad? No, what I did do was spend nearly $400 to get a crate she cannot get out of that will be connected to her brother so she doesn't get lonely :) I don't get people who treat animals like handbags. They are family not accessories.
Have you ever had a Malinois before? I’m a dog trainer and that is a breed that most of us even personally wouldn’t own. They are bred to be police dogs for a reason. I wish you luck. 😊
I don't understand this crap man.
I have a small farm, I don't make content because I'm absolutely terrified about being roasted by the internet for something I'm doing wrong somewhere somehow.
How can you basically all but ensure such a situation for yourself. To the extreme
The cat distribution system was amazing in your case though. The Billing department found you when they knew you had space for them in your life
