Kuwait has so many street cats & purebreds. Here’s why-and how to help!

- Kuwait has no animal shelter, leading to a widespread issue of cats being dumped outdoors. Individual rescuers are stepping in to help these cats, who are often Persian, Scottish fold, British shorthair, and Arabian mau, and typically seeking homes for them abroad. Thank you Laila (@rescueforwinston) and Mona (@mcclq8) for sharing your stories, and for all you do to help cats.
We lived in Kuwait and brought home two little street cats to the US when our assignment in Kuwait was over. We love our Kuwaiti Arabian maus!
They seem like wonderful cats. As a long-time feline rescue volunteer with chronic health problems, I would love one. I need an affectionate baby to love when I’m stuck in bed. My Burmese just passed away at 19…he was the cat I was closest to in life. A constant cuddle companion! I’ve had two random bred cats just like that, though. I adopted them as seniors, so I didn’t know them as long but they bonded very closely with me. Both looked like they had British Shorthair in them. Big bones…big teddy bears! I guess I felt closest to the Burmese because he followed me to every room, and advocated for my needs with my carer, when I was ill. He would not eat until I was fed.
Tq for your kindness 🇲🇾♥️
there zero birds there, am i right?
I'm in Bahrain right now and have 4 that I'm taking back with me for sure when it's time to go back to the states. Arabian Maus are great cats!
@@marimo66666 sparrows and pigeons are abundant
Mona should have a donation website. Bless her and Laila heart’s. Thank you to you as well!😘❤️
Agreed. Both are very kind souls and the cats are very lucky to have them.
Thank you so much, Layla and Mona, from the bottom of my heart for saving the lives of so many of these furry baby darling kittens and cute darling adult cats. May God continue to blessvand protect you for the most noble work that you both are doing for these darling furry angels. So sad to know know that people just dump their cats and kittens at a different environment just because they have decided not to keep them any more. I hope and pray that God in his Divine Wisdom will bring about a change in the attitudes of these kinds of people.
If you go look at their instagram which is in the description box there is a way to donate
mon has it in her bio u can find her account in the description...alot of other rescuers do too like save a soul, bfg and paws kuwait
Yep she's a earth 😇
I have a Kuwaiti kitty. He's a purebred Scottish Fold, brought to the US by the South Texas Persian Rescue, operating out of San Antonio, Texas (they've Adlai brought over lots of mixed kitties from there). He is the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever met. He took a long time to understand what laps were, but now he never wants to get out of them. My life wouldn't be the same without him, and I can't recommend these sweet children enough.
Why rescue cats from other countries? Surely it makes more sense to recuse cats in your state/town/country? :/
I can't recommend Scottish folds at all, it's not fair on them with the arthritis
@@jenesisjones6706 if there is an abundance of cats in one place, and not many in another, it makes sense to rescue from the place with the abundance of cats to relieve some stress off of where that cat lives. if I lived in Georgia and there aren’t many stray cats in my area, I may rescue from somewhere overloaded with cats.
@@jenesisjones6706 I live in Florida and so many lovely cats and dogs get put to sleep just in lee County it's disgusting and were I used to live in western Massachusetts there are times were there's no dog's avaliable for adoption at the shelter.
Sounds like a lot of my rescue cats. When they figure out you’re a friend, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. They are eternally grateful!
I'm in Kuwait & I daily feed cats as part of my responsibility. Really appreciate laila's work... Need more people like her.... ❤
Isn't Kuwait a rich country?
people are rich but not all of their mindset towards the environment & preserving other living organisms. That's why Kuwait needs more people like laila.
I live in Kuwait .. I and my Aunty also feed stray cats for so many years now as a part of our daily routine.. we really love all the fur babies. Last year I rescued a abandoned puppy from a roadside and now he is in India having a great happy life with my other dogs n family 🥰
@@chadwillett619 yes
If youre feeding them youre helping the street cat population get bigger and bigger. Is that your goal?
We’re starting to have a similar situation here in Saudi Arabia. Many people adopted cats during the pandemic due to boredom and not being able to go out, and now that life is back to normal they’re claiming they’re way too busy to take care of them so they throw them out.
My mom and I try bringing food to those cats especially in our neighborhood, there were usually 3-5 cats but these last few weeks the numbers are increasing and I think we see over 12 cats just in our neighborhood. Really heartbreaking to see
not just during the pandemic. I've seen it happen way before that. People see it in western movies, social media etc so they want pets. Just not the responsibility.
من جد! حارتنا تحت كل سيارة فيه وحدة ولا ثنتين مندسين من الشمس
It's because you keep feeding them. It will definitely not decrease the number of cats.
@@MU-jx1xo I mean we are humans. No one likes to see a starving cat and not feed it.
arabs being inhuman, whats new
I just can’t understand why anyone would buy a cat from a breeder when there are so many beautiful pure bred cats that need to be rescued now. Thank you for driving awareness of this important cause 😽
Same.
they think that the ones from the breeder are healthier or cleaner in some way, unaware of the reality that all pets need consistent veterinary care
I got my cat from a drain at the station thought it was a rat, luckiest cat, yet she bites me a lot. My first black cat.
One thing I never get either, especially after I found a kitten on the street (which now has a loving home). I think a good start would be a breeding ban, especially backyard breeders and breeding mills.
breeders and purebred cats aren't the problem of overpopulation. It is all the alley cats, that owners refuse to spay or neuter and then let them roam the streets, or just dump them in the streets per this video. Look at ALL these cats---99% random bred, not purebred. The Arabian Mau breed she talks about, not purebreds either. A purebred is a cat that you KNOW several generations of it's ancestry. Boy there are a lot of eye infections in all those cat 😢 I really liked that smoke/tabby young male cat and the one she pointed out as an Arabian Mau---they looked fairly healthy.
The Kitten Lady of California meets the Cat Lady of Kuwait! That shelter is wonderful; I know the cats are all happy to be there! Thanks for sharing!
Kuwait is a rich country with many well off people. We've seen documentaries on them having house staff from other countries. I'm surprised the locals don't want to contribute to a shelter and to ensure a spay/ neuter campaign.
Bruh not all of us are rich💀 + rich people do not care about anything but themselves lol
at 6:55 u legit see people placing places for them to eat. Not everything u see on video u go run and assume the worst.
@Drooman Kass ıf you are a muslim and saying it is not right religiously my friend you are wrong.
@@pain5794 The nation of Kuwait IS wealthy. The government should have a shelter program.
@Drooman Kass Are you saying that it's against Islam to neuter and spay cats?
WELCOME TO KUWAIT! I recently took in a kitten from the streets and I could easily see that she was dumped as a kitten bc someone tried to breed their cat and was unable to care for her. I took her to the vet she's clean and healthy, and I am in the process of getting her all her vaccines. She has long fur and is pure white, probably wasn't a street cat for too long she was 5 months old. I heard some rescue organizations here are trying the TNR strategy I hope it works
Tnr?? Trap nuture. Release???
so sad to see how cruel people can be when they prioritize their joy over the life of a creature ..
Welcome to gulf Arab countries.
@@faheemabbas3965 You're telling me there are only stray cats in the Gulf states now? Amazing. Keep your spite out of this literal world wide problem so we can actually do something about it.
lmao they live better than most people
@@griefwizard but it's seem shameful in all Western countries to abandon an animal, given the number of stray cats in the gulf it doesn't have that stigma. There's no excuse. They are rich.
@@Paul__Allen Western countries are richer.
I'm from Kuwait, but I moved to the US, and I haven't set foot in Kuwait for nearly a decade. I remember this being an issue, but it looks like it's even worse today. One of my goals, when I do come back, is to open cat shelters.
Thank you for doing what you do, you are wonderful humans!
Hiw many of those cats did you bring with you?
@@PSCA1988 I haven't brought any cats with me, but I've been supporting shelters and taking part in indicting animal abusers, in the US.
@@atotheg1991 and for the record I am American born and raised!
@@andresalaf Okay?
Come to India
This is so heartbreaking. I cannot imagine dumping my furbabies somewhere, for any reason. When I adopted my two, it was a commitment I made for life - no matter what. I get that times can be hard, but in my opinion, that’s no excuse to not at least find a good home, or just don’t get a pet at all if you know your situation could become precarious in the future unless you aren’t all in. It’s that important.
I’m glad these ladies are doing what they can to help.
My three fluffballs are mine forever.

Unfortunately, these cats are mostly dumped when people travel during the summer...nobody can find anyone to take care of the cats and it is very hard to bring cats with you on the plane (it is too hot during the summer for cats to travel unless it is in the cabin which very few airlines allow). So, most people either put the cats in a cat hotel which costs about 30 USD per day or they have to sell them or release them outside. It is a very sad situation.
I too can never do to another animal, such a horrible think😫.
I have a cat which I take care just like My own child.
Thoughtless people dump their cats, especially when moving, just as frequently in the USA, and creating the same type of problems.
That’s most of humanity .
Omg the black one eyed kitty who thinks she's a scarf! So cute! I would give her so many cuddles 🥰
Thank you guys for looking are theses beautiful babies. May Allah Ta'ala give you reward. Aameen sum Aameen 🤲
Such a rich country but no aninal shelter.. you can judge a society by how they treat the most vulnerable. Bless those ladies!
There are plenty of animal shelters in Kuwait. Unfortunately, they’re almost always full and can’t take in anymore cats
100% agree
@@cpsoud They mean government funded shelters
Thank you Laila & Mona for helping these vulnerable cats 🐈⬛
Wow 🙀
Thank you for bringing awareness Kitten lady ❤️
I'm from kuwait and didn't imagine you would visit and bring this topic to light!
Much love and respect to you 🕊
Gobsmacked by the number of cats here! The people who help them are really special heroes, because they must suffer at times from frustration and a sense of climbing a down escalator. Yet they persevere. Bless them!
If I lived in Kuwait, I'm pretty sure I'd be a cat hoarder. Seeing so many of them on the street, especially the ones that were abandoned, breaks my heart. I hope more Kuwaitis will open their hearts and homes to these beautiful kitties ❤️
Its ppl like you who go to kuwait and hoard cats and then dump or abandon them when you leave. How shameful.
We are!
Well they are a lot of people helps cats
They simply need to neuter them to keep the population down if they don’t want to take them in. None of those cats will leave more than a few years due to diseases and poor health since are known to inbreed.
Thank you for doing what you're doing dear, may God bless you
Thank you so much for using your platform to bring awareness about this especially at other countries. This happens so much abroad as well. In Sudan (and other countries) there’s so many stray cats and dogs. Growing up in America I know about animal shelters, vet care, spaying, neutering & etc but in Sudan (and other places) it’s not known. I have cousins in Sudan who rescues cats & care for them which is great but it’s so many to handle. There needs to be more animal rescuers, adopters & fosters around the world. This is why I continue to foster animals in need.
Maybe you should tell your Americans not to abandon and discard their pets like that on their way back.
In America, including manhattan, there so many street cats (and rats) especially around garbages.
OMG my kitty dizzy (fka octavia) came from you!! she is safe and happy here now in Washington DC! Thank you for your work, its is saving cats and filling homes with love
I live in Kuwait and I’d never thought u would visit next to my house just in front of it there is 10 cats we feed them every day since we have a cat there is also a food in pet zone i think that’s 20kg and it’s only for street cats
Do many people in Kuwait take care of the street cats? Is is like a community effort?
@@lotus_flower2000 not really
@@lotus_flower2000 some people do and they woek really hard to achieve it
@@lotus_flower2000 no , These people are just heartless mofos. Thats arabs for you
@@lotus_flower2000 yes we do in where i live there is at least 4 houses in my street leave food out side and water for cats and birds. but you know some of those social media people only care about their image and look like a hero in the other hand you can see that poor fisher man who keep some fishes for cats and feed them without talking about it 🙂
I live in Florida. We also have lots of free-roaming cats. Twelve years ago, I was feeding 57 colony cats. Today that number is down to 18---a 68% decrease. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it is essential to fix them. My motto is: First fix, then feed.
Those man eating iguanas will help you lol
That is a great moto and thanks for helping!
Lol maybe they just stopped coming back for food after you snipped their genitals. Did you consider attributing the decrease to that?
You mean castrate them..imagine you as a person having to undergo that without your consent. I have seen some of the ill effects cats undergo after castration
Thank you for helping the cats!
It is amazing how friendly those street cats are .. 🙂
because people are friendly to them, they don't have fear
Literally brakes my heart 💔. I wish I could adopt them all , they seems so cool each and everyone of them
I have always felt this way! In the US, I used to teach cat care classes to rural and urban communities, through 4-H. We’d hold free cat shows to reward good care and socialization of random bred cats, after the education series. I’ve seen kids and parents grow so much in their relationships with animals! I also do feline rescue. People dump cats near farms and in cities, thinking they’ll find shelter and a food source. They live painfully, and die horribly. Statistics in the 2000s said if we each adopted 3 cats, we would solve the problem. I know it’s not an opinion for everyone but, if it is, please adopt! ❤️🩹
Well the heart is the strongest muscle and can not be broken, it can be punctured,teared of smashed but breaking it isn't possible.. unless you dip in it liquid nitrogen for a long time and then use a hammer or any heavy objects.

@@sciencenotstigma9534 They live painfully, and die horribly. this line hurts!!
@@hasiburrahman5511 the Americans leave their pets behind abandoning and discarding them when they have to leave. That's what has created this problem. Now the westerners will start cat trafficking!

It's really sad that people abandon their pets like this.....
Thanks for spreading awareness Hannah!
It's the western expats who abandon their pets when they leave and thats where the problem starts
These poor babies. Brakes my heart. I wish I could help them all.
We adopted one of our cats from a rescue named Bridges from Kuwait; I'm glad to have helped take one of these poor babies off of the street 🥺
MashAllah this shelter women is doing a great job I really appreciate for saving little poor souls 👍keep it up
Just incredible. It's amazing how friendly the street cats seem to be.
Because I think all of them were once house cats that were dumped 😢 it makes me so sad and mad
@@lizg8055 no not all of them are dumped..arabian maus are the sweetest breed ull encounter they are so incredibly smart and loving ive fostered and rescued so many in kuwait. if u want a loving clingy cat get yourself an arabian mau😂i ended up adopting 3 of my fosters when i was in kuwait and they have been with me for 7 years ..still the clingiest😂i love them more than anything in the world

Bless those women for all they do. It's a labor of love ❤️. Thank you for bringing awareness.
If the Arabian Mau is anything like an Abyssinian, they are the sweetest, most devoted cats. These rescuers are amazing and I hope they're able to provide education to help people understand that dumping a house cat on the street can be a death sentence because they don't have the survival skills of a cat born on the street. 🐾🐾 Thank you for sharing your experiences Hannah.
Of all the kitties we saw in this video, I thought they were some of the cutest.
I love the white cats with different color eyes, too.
My husband stays in Kuwait, he always sends me in videos and photos cause i love cats, he feeds food and water to them outside
God bless Laila and Mona, I hope more people will be open to adopting local stray cats there.
I am so so glad to see you teaming up with Laila and using your platform to spread awareness about this! I've followed her on instagram for years and the work she and others in Kuwait do is harrowing. The situation is so overwhelming I can't imagine doing what they do. Hopefully there will be many more kitties adopted to the US because of this video!
Well now I know how I'll be adopting my next kitty! Thank you for always sharing these important stories with us ❤️
We have so many house cats have been abandoned in the streets with no action by the government.
Its soo heart breaking when you see this and can only do very little to help.
I hope you spread the knowledge of these poor beautiful animals around the world so may be just may be people in charge could do something to safe them. Thank you very for coming and i hope this is only the beginning for a big hope❤❤❤❤
These women in Kuwait are amazing, I'm in Baltimore City and we have hundreds of thousands of street cats and it is very overwhelming. I feed over 50 cats every single day just on my own. These women are awesome!
Any human being helping weak animals is a superhero in my eyes … please keep doing your work and tell us how to help
So grateful for all the rescuers in Kuwait. Thank you for bringing this issue to light. May Allah bless you. It's so heartbreaking to think that other people would just abandon their pets, I have 20 cats and I can't imagine throwing any of them out for any reason. They are family.
God bless you 🙏
MashaAllah! I pray for your cats as they remain healthy and blessed... I also have 15 cats and I'm facing many problems caring for and feeding them every day. My daily life becomes stuck sometimes mainly in time management issues. But I still struggling for them and never think of throwing them out of my home
Its the Americans who dump their pets behind when they leave instead of taking them along at the end.
Omg this brakes my heart, I wish I could travel from the UK and take them all home, they just want to be loved.
God and His Majesty be with you...
Amen.
Those cats are all beautiful!!!!
God bless these women for the awesome and unappreciated labor they're doing
In Saudi Arabia we have the same problem, I try to educate everyone on how important it is to Spay/Neuter and care for your fur baby. They are helpless souls that needs our love. Shout out to all the great rescuers out there!!
Thank you so much for bringing light to this subject!
Thank you for this video and for highlighting these issues. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Kuwait! 😊 I'm Saudi but I rescue cats with my husband and at times it can be extremely overwhelming. Getting emotionally attached to a stray cat is a bittersweet feeling, difficult at most.
Both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time!
Thanks, for your help and kindness. You are an Angel. 😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Kuwait is a lovely, developed country: surely they could set up some animal shelters ... Thanks so much to the rescuers.
God bless all those people who are caring for these cats.
I sort of imagine you with cats following you everywhere. Thank you for this.
Wow. Thank you for shining a light on this issue. Individuals choosing to take action and help these sweet abandoned cats. It is heartbreaking to see. I am glad that the cats are sent overseas to loving forever homes. ❤ I saw you using eye cream for infected eyes. Thank you to the animal rescuers who are choosing to make impactful changes.
Sending dumped cats overseas to be adopted is not an impactful change. It is shifting the burden onto other countries (in this instance, America), where additional animals (cats in this instance) must be euthanized because the American didn’t adopt a cat from the shelter down the road, but from Kuwait instead!
p.s. I know this sounds mean, and I am not intending that. It’s just that we must all wake up and realize that globalization does not solve anything, it just shifts the misery away from one country onto another, at the expense of the animals, and allows our leaders to remain unaccountable for helping solve pet overpopulation.
I would volunteer in a heartbeat! May God bless all of you guys! Much respect!
What a Beautiful gesture to help these Beautiful poor cats especially in that unbearable heat outside when everyone has air conditioning inside.
I follow Bridges From Kuwait, seeing the sheer amount of abandoned adoptable cats in any country is so heart wrenching. I wish I could do what Mona or you do, have a place to foster or even permanently home multitudes of cats.
One day I hope
Me.too
i dont understand why such a rich country does not have shelters
Islam has no animal rights!
Don’t talk about my country😡😡
It is not a priority.
In islam cats can go wherever they want in beach mosque city's wherever they want to go they go in islam
Because living in the streets is better than being in jail
God bless you all who help these helpless crestures 🤲🏻
Now I want to go to Kuwait! I love cats!
They are everywhere more then the people
It's not really a good place to visit
Thank you to rescuers in Kuwait..
So many cute cats! I hope more homes can be found for them and huge props to the rescuers.
Thank you for doing something to help these cats by showing this videos. I felt bad fir those strays. Thanks that there are people like you and rescues to help them.
Thank you for giving us visibility to this situation! Great work by everyone involved ❤
I am in love with this girl ❤
Good work done. God bless you all good people who help such poor animals.
Thank you for bringing up the issue. Living in Kuwait, my cat was one of the Persian cats that got dumped. He's so friendly and loving but was in bad condition, had severe inflammation, and needed surgeries on his jaw. I'm so glad I found him. There are people who really want to help, but there aren't many resources available and the number of cats is overwhelming.
Actually there are multiple shelters in kuwait they are nonprofit and work really hard. But without support it’s hard to stay afloat. We all do our part to try to save as many souls as possible. And Shukran for sharing this and encouraging people to adopt 🙏🏼

Thank god that there are always people helping out. LA has to many on the streets as well.. I am feeding neighborhood cats .
Thank you kitten lady to bring up this issue to the world stage. The problem is Kuwaiti people buying kittens and cats for their children to play. And thus getting abused my kids .
I live and rescue cats here in Kuwait . As an expat living here and caring for them where people doesn’t even support our work. We get scolded for helping and threaten us to put in bars.please raise the issue of closing the Friday pet market forever. Please more videos to raise awareness about animals situation in Kuwait.
Why would you be arrested for taking in stray cats? Is that illegal there?!
@@lotus_flower2000 In some of the Gulf states it's against the law to feed street cats or get veterinary care for them, although thankfully this is often not strictly enforced. I don't think there would be any law against rescuing or adoption.
@@kenmccormick8059 I can understand if it is against the law to feed street cats but why would it be against the law to get veterinary care for them? Lol, that sounds ridiculous.
@@ebynmatthews From some quick research I did, it appears to be the case in Dubai. It's very inhumane, but unfortunately some of the Gulf states have very harsh policies towards street cats and dogs. They are regarded as pests and in some places companies have been employed to trap and poison them.
These cats are dumped abd abandoned by the western expats when they leave the country. It's the spoilt brats of the expats who want the pet while in kuwait and then don't take them along on their way bk. Shame on these American/European expats

Hi first time I am watching this vdo. Amazing kindly Kuwait and your mercy to all cats blessing to Kuwait cats ⚘😇😘🤩👍🏻👍🏻🙏
That black and orange eyed Scottish fold is haunts my dreams 🥰What a perfect cat. I wish I could just fly there and bring him home.
This is one of those painful problems with no really easy solution besides responsible breeding and caretaking, but even that can fall short. I’m glad I’m not in charge of fixing it. But I’ll defiantly be adopting. (If anyone has a black and orange eyed round kitty in the states or Canada let me know! Lol)
This is soo sad 😔. It's too heartbreaking. How do you help them all? It's overwhelming .....
This reminds me of the situation that I just adopted a cat through an agency here in Canada. The cats were rescued from Egypt. He was shaved down when I saw his pictures but since getting him and looking after him it is very obvious that he is some type of Persian/Himalayan mix. He’s absolutely beautiful and sweet (white and fluffy with cream points and crystal blue eyes). He’s so sweet and gentle, it’s hard to imagine that he was living on the streets of Egypt.
Hi, I'm American and have been living in Egypt for 17 years, and yes, so many cats in the streets in Egypt. Makes me sad. They don't believe in desexing, most Egyptians are afraid of cats, unlike the old days of Egypt where they were worshipped. Also, life is so hard here for common people that they say, "let's care about people first". They have no compassion for cats... at all. Sad to me. I always greet and talk to cats on the street
@@judemorales4U hi I m from Egypt and most of the cats dumped on the streets in Egypt are owned by French, British, American and other European countries and when these ppl leave they shamelessly dump/abandon/ discard their pets behind
@@کینیڈاسمالٹاون You have yet to prove your assertion that westerners are doing almost all the dumping. That is just not true. I’m sure some westerners have, but the main problem, as in every country, is it’s own irresponsible citizens!
Thanks for bringing awareness to this. I noticed only a small handful had ear tips, but there was no mention in this video anything about spay and neuter efforts. Can you say more about if they are doing that and what are the private veterinarians charging for this? Did the women with the rented space have her cats all fixed?
She probably did. All of the cat rescuers that I know here in Kuwait do neuter the cats that they rescue
i am sure she had them fixed, if she had them also vaccinated and operated on
Laila here! A few rescuers including myself tried to spay and neuter as many cats as possible in the first location but because they get dumped everyday it was tough to keep up but we still continue to TNR in other locations too!
@@DarkWorldQ8 I do! Rescuers do not allow breeding, or the spread of diseases. That is animal hoarding.
Incredible work, thank you for raising awareness!
Thanks Kitten Lady for raising awareness of the street cats in the Middle East. It's the same situation here in UAE. I volunteer to feed the street cats in my local area with @Reemislandcats and have rescued some cats, who I'm still trying to re home and try and TNR some as well but we have just a few volunteers and only a few individuals help with fostering and rescuing etc and vet bills here are very high. It would be good to have a national programme of neutering and vaccination and more education and awareness on this issue.
Hope they all get rescued and safe.
This is so heartbreaking to see, but thank you to all who are dedicated to trying to give these beautiful animals all over the countries some help. Praying for all these cats every where that needs loving homes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
They're all gorgeous😻
God bless these kind ladies who are dedicating their lives to rescuing these cats 🙏🏻 I truly wish there was something I could do on a large scale to help these women. These people need organizations in their country like the ones we have here, but I know that's hard to come by. Thank you for teaching us something new and showing us the efforts made by these people. Now Kuwait is on my to-visit list. Who would've known. Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing stray cats of different breeds. Great that they are not fighting each other. Tnx4sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing this!
Glad there are people there to take are of the kitties. Thanks for shining a light on the kitties there, Hannah! Hopefully they build some sort of shelter there in the future and the right person sees this video!
Thank you for sharing your awareness 🙏 ❤
