I saw an injured kitty, I caught an injured kitty

- I took him to the vet and
Released a healthy kitty
(mostly)
I wanted to wait until we moved into our new house to start trapping cats but apparently I can't help myself. We found a feral boy with some really bad teeth who also needed to be fixed, so I guess this makes TNR #1 for us! Super huge thanks to Rana and the local TNR org for helping out and offering advice and assistance. After we move we plan on getting into TNR and fostering a lot more (and we can have as many cats as we want!)
TNR = trap, neuter, return

We TNR'd our first cat! I wasn't planning on it, but sometimes things just happen. He was actually really close to where we originally found Pichi. I really hope you guys enjoy random cat videos that aren't just our own cats because I plan on doing a lot of this after we move!!
I can’t thank u enough 😊😊 overpopulation of cats is a big problem so this helps a lot
I actually wanted to foster myself
we'd love it! You guys are awesome!
I swear you guys are like CatMan Chris 🥰
Thats fantastic I TNR'd my first cat this year.
Rachel catching cats like they're pokemon lol.
Pokecats, gotta catch em all
She needed the cat equivalent of a master ball to catch Pichi.
I wild cat appears. Rachel uses trap. It's super effective. (Later at the catmon center)
same here lol i get at lest one a year last year was2
Goes to vet and hears poke center jingle.
I'm now 1000% convinced the new house is just an excuse to rescue and adopt as many cats as possible without landlords getting antsy
This is literally one of the reasons we wanted a house
@@RachelandJunAdventures OMG YES! Also, same! Except in my case I just moved back in with my parents who have the big empty house I can use for my nefarious cativities 😂
I can't help but imagine a dozen cats hovering around jun while he does his cooking and staring him, wanting a little piece of the goodness he's whipping up.
cat house on the kings: japan edition
I got 11 cats and 8 out of them were feral cats.
Remember when Pichi was only going to be staying until they found a home for her? Yeah I remember. 😂
Have they decided that they are fully going to keep her now?
Mikaela Hill yes, she's a permanent part of the family now
@@mikaelahill5554 they have Merch with Pichi, she is part of the family
@@mikaelahill5554 yeah, iirc Rachel said that because pichi took a while to settle down with her and Jun, it would probably be traumatic for her to move again so they decided to keep her
@@mikaelahill5554 Yeah, Poki and Pichi are inseperable now.
Rachel: *Saves Pichi* okay, this the last one
*finds Injured kitty*
Rachel: “Okay, maybe one more”
Rachel has such a kind heart ❤️
That is not having a kind heart, that is decency.
Rachel, 20 cats in: this is the last one
she’ll have a whole cat sanctuary
@@lanafair2625 another cat found
Rachel: Jun get the cat cage, we have another one.
You forgot Poki. He was a roadside rescue too 😸
One day, when the world is taken over by cats, Rachel and Jun would be revered as great saints and protectors of feline kind.
Also Claire (Creamheros) and other cat lovers like oursleves
Also nice prfp
What in the Love Death Robots?
Or enslaved
Don't forget Kitten Lady.
Rachel: *Lists this insane number of treatments and surgeries that the cat needed in order to be well again*
Rachel: In total, his vet bills came out to around $400.
Wtf why does America hate medical patients
Because America is all about the mighty dollar.
Seriously in the US that would have cost over $1,500
it's not that they hate the patients, it's that they love them corporations
I was shocked by that price too!! Many years ago my dog had to have a canine tooth pulled and the bill was just under $900.
Because our Poltical Parties are complete assholes
I love TNR stories. Cats like this who can't be brought in without traumatizing them are still able to get the medical care they need, fixed so they don't increase the population or get into unnecessary fights, and live out their lives in relative comfort on the streets they call home. I look forward to seeing all your future adventures with fostering cats in your home.
My local community has a good TNR program that focuses mostly of neuter/spay! I’d like to volunteer and help them some day.
I work at a shelter that does TNR's, and while it isn't the ideal scenario, sometimes it is the best one for the cat, so I'm proud to say that I volunteer there!
My brother brought home a kitten who had been TNRd previously and was just very skinny and week. We think she also had some kind of respiratory infection. She was very sweet and very cuddly. We did our best but she only lasted a couple of days. I’m still really heartbroken about it.
@@ohdeer-sabrina8132 we have to remember that cats are master hunters, unlike dogs cats can live good lives outdoor without human care
Most cities have good TNR programs! Some vets even do it for free. If you see stray cats without chips in their ears and have time, I would highly recommend helping :)
"This is the fastest cat capture I've ever had!", Rachel's only done it twice and it's like a sport for her now.
She did have to trap one of her others... I can’t remember his name 😓 the one with the short tail and the insane appetite.
@@noelanim6896 She didn't trap Poki, he let her pick him up. Watch their "We found a cat" video if you want to know more.
@@ieatdust8666 That's true, but Poki was a capture. So her third, after Pichi.
Rachel 1 second into the video: "I have found another cat"
CJ: Aww shiet, here we go again.
Pichi: WHAAATTT!!!!!
737
Hahahaaa
(You mean :
Y a Y! Here we go again *)
Rachel and Jun in 2030: I found another injured cat ...now we have 14 cats
That’s basically what happened to a friend of mine haha
If that's all they have in almost 10 yrs from now though.... 😹🤣🤣
14 cats is a LOT _lot_ less cats than it seems.
This is why you need to continue with your sponsorships; you will have more money in case of unexpected events like saving cats ❤️
Yes! Personally I don't mind the sponsorships, I know Rachel and Jun are responsible people and can do amazing things with the money they get from them. 💕
All the spons to save all the cats!
This^^
I am also down for more sponsorships/ads!! What’s watching an ad vs helping animals? 💖
I love the idea of locals keeping an eye out for TNR cats and maybe providing some soft food every once in a while. I do that to a lot of strays in my area and I think it's better than trying to force them to be adopted. They seem quite happy out and about. Rachel is such a sweet soul for helping so many cats like this.
In some areas they can adopt out ferals and semi-ferals as barn cats, after spay/neuter. I can imagine it works great, as ferals would already likely know how to hunt
We have loads of spayed and neutered cats in my area that people keep an eye on and feed and catch if theyre injured. To the point where even our most feral kitties will come onto peoples porches in the daytime. We still have a lot who dont tolerate people, but even coming for food in the daylight says a lot
Feral cats can't be adopted but strays who are used to being around humans can and should be adopted. The survival rate for outdoor cats is very low because infection and accident rates are high and they are much less likely to be taken care of when there is a serious problem. Especially when they are young many don't even survive cold winter. My grandmother has seen many dead kittens around her home in winter. They should all be neutered, but I don't think we should be quick to say that they are happier outdoors. The local volunteers were upset that they were being fed because "that's the least they could do" but can't be bothered to take them to the vets or adopt them. It is actually easy for cats to find food even without people specifically feeding them, and what they actually need is a good home that takes care of them, a lot of cats enjoy affection too. The idea that "they are happy being strays, I just feed them" is mostly a misconception and often just used to feel better about the cats situations. (Maybe it is cultural but in Japan everyone buys pedigree kittens from pet shops and rarely adopt cats who need homes.)
Man, cats just get me so mad. Cutest things ever but absolute nightmares for native ecosystems, the idea of supporting them in any way just feels so wrong to me. I get that they're pets and are cute but the birds are cute too.
@@misumi6312 birds also cause significant ecological damage. Florida alone has around 20 species of invasive parrots, some now classified as agricultural pests because of the extensive damage they do. Cats can't fly, and their ability to combat mouse and rat infestations are valuable
Rachel be like: “I’m a simple woman. I see cat in need, I bring the trap.” 😂 I love that you’re able to help out these cats!
Rachel: we had to remove a bunch of his teeth, get him fixed, and give him antibiotics for FIV
Rachel: his vet bills were 400 dollars
I'm sorry??? When my cat got sick it was 500 for just an ultrasound!
My cat clover got sick, had a fever, wouldn't really eat, she was in care for 3 days, and it was 3,000$, $200 for an "estensive lab results" because we were trying to figure out why her health declined do quickly. Still no lab results and then I find out they waited 2 days before they even gave her antibiotics in an IV, they were just sitting there trying to feed her the first two days watching her SUFFER! The second they gave her the IV with antibiotics her fever broke and she got back to herself. it's like the chose to watch her suffer and took my money. Never going to that vet again and they also got introuble for suspicious charges. Idk why people are so evil, just trying to save my baby 😩
Right?? I was so surprised. I was expecting $1000+
$400 was on par with just an xray for my cat ahahaha
The other day I took my cat for vaccination, tests for her overgrooming, and general consultation. It all added up to around $400 too.
Better country :) USA sucks everywhere with healthcare, pet care included.

and because of your help, that feral cat will live a much longer life
Poor baby. Getting involved with feral cats is such a heartbreaking endeavor, but at least Pumpkin be much better off now for your help and now he won't be contributing to any more feral kittens!
I tried once. I was in over my head. It was definitely heartbreaking. Thank you for making me feel like less of a monster/failure.
I had a feral cat that was coming to my house for food last year. Over a period of 6 months I got her to accept pats and then she allowed me to pick her up. So I took her to the vet and got her spayed, vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas. She was tested for FIV and came back negative. I adopted her after that and now she lives in my house. Her name is Possum. She is very affectionate now. I had some problems with worms coming back and the flea infestation she had took a while to completely eradicate but she's healthy and very happy now! She's a petite little grey tabby (very typical feral colouring).
Typical feral coloring often differs from area to area though. 🙂
In addition to subscribers’ contributions, why don’t you try to get a sponsorship from a big company that deals with cat food, products, etc. to help fund your rescue efforts? With the tremendous amount of subscribers you have, I would think that such a company might very well sponsor you. I know that you all do not seek out sponsorships very often, but I would consider the benefits of obtaining sponsorships. I’m certain you can find a suitable company.
That's a really good idea! Once we move and get established I'll look into it!
Honestly Rachel I wouldn’t be surprised if you and Jun end up helping all of the cats in Japan who need loving homes. You are absolutely wonderful, love you!!❤️💕

Plot twist:
The feral cat is a paid actor
We have a failed TNR and then failed foster kitten in my house. She just ended up loving people way too much and now I don't want to give her away. And now all of my indoor plants need to be chewable, something I never needed to worry about with my 17 yr old cat.
Best kind of failure
task failed succesfully
*Gets Pichi*
"Okay, we'll find her a home."
"Okay, we're keeping her."
*Catches kitty*
"We can't take another cat ourselves."
Sure, Rachel, sure.
to be fair, Pichi was blind-ish and needed treatments
so that's a special case I guess
?????
What
@@Lz1508 I was more wondering what went through the mind of the people who wrote the comment
@@zaramintheequanimous That, and I don't think they could've ever given her away, not when her and Poki formed that special bond. ^^
@@nemaele That's the thing about fostering though...you[ &/or your own critters] do form special bonds with them, because you have to sometimes in order to get them to survive whatever they are going through when you take them in, but then you still have to send them on to someone else anyhow because one person can only care for so many(And then you do it all over again). People who foster/rescue have to be super emotionally strong, and good at letting go; and/or good at not worrying too much about whether or not the foster critters[ &/or their own critters] will miss them[ or each other] a lot or not. 😅😅
My grandpa was good at TNR and feeding the feral cats. When I moved into his house after my grandpa died, the local cats were looking for him for some foods. 🥺 I couldn’t afford to feed them on top of taking care of my cat so the feral cats moved on.
Good job taking care of the kitty population in your local area! 👍🏾
Damn years of trust gone in a flash…how long has it been? Have u tried befriending them as well
That you wanted to help them even though you couldn’t speaks to your good heart. Cats are good a finding hoomans to help them- I’m sure they’ll find another and be fine.
@@APersonOnTH-camX They were inner city cats. I think they knew where to score food and moved on quickly when they saw a different human.
I’ve since moved into my own home. If there are feral kitties in the area they are well hidden cus of the forest and farm fields.
If it happens again to where there are cats that you want to feed, try buying one of those $30 22lbs of dry cat food. I accidentally bought it(I didn't check the size) and a huge bag of food came. For only $30, that big bag will last a long time.
Wow, that is a really cheap vet bill for all that! I usually end up paying $400-500 just for a dental cleaning without any extractions. I’m so glad you caught him and got him the care he needed. I’m looking forward to more cat rescue videos. 😊
Yeah, my cat had to have teeth pulled and that was at least $1400 😭
i was about to comment something like this! my cat had to have bloodwork and some other minor things and the bloodwork alone was $300 😒
wow here 400/500 is the price for dental extraction
Some vets charge less for ferals, especially for TNR procedures, if they can afford it! But also keep in mind this is Japan so prices vary between countries
@@soulcatcher_pajome I lived in Japan for a short time, and the general cost of things wasn’t terribly different from my home country, so that’s why I was surprised. But it’s nice to know some vets charge less for ferals.
that was such a short time to catch him compared to pichi! I'm so glad that he is much healthier now and can spend the rest of his days in his territory :)
If they ever need to catch him again in the future though, it's either going to be even easier because he knows they just want to help when he really needs it...OR [most likely] it'll be even more difficult, more like with Pichi[ or worse], because he'll be wise to it and more resistant after having gone through it before.😅😅 ((Hopefully they won't need to catch him again. ^-^))
......he actually didn't seem that incredibly feral to me though; but maybe we just didn't get to see footage of his most feral moments here, so it's hard to say without having been there. 🤔 🤷♀️ Lol
I hope he'll recover well, and that they will share any updates they get about him from their friend with us too, maybe! ^--^
TNR is so important. To everyone helping out these stray and feral animals: I have so much respect for you. Keep up the good work!
Oh my God you're basically a Cat Saint
You're gonna love flatbush cats then
I can't wait for the "Foster Arc". So many cute cat videos will be coming our way. ☺
Just proves that TNR is your calling. It wont even wait until you're setup. The universe just knows you are ready to help.
Love your hearts
Hey, I was looking at the last japanese exam paper for our end of school exams in ireland, and I saw that the reading comprehension was about you guys! it was pretty cool to see
🙀🙀
That's kinda crazy/cool! ^^
Really? What did it talk about? That's kinda wild that there's an exam reading comprehension about them! Super cool!
NO WAY!! that's so cool!!
I'm sure he's thankful for the help, even if it didn't seem like it. Good info explaining what TNR is to people who might not know what it is and the ultimate goal of the program. I wish you luck with your fostering goals.
Trap N... And Release?
@@JaAvii3456 TNR is trap, neuter, release
Aw I saw your story on insta when you first saw him ♡ He was definitely much easier and faster than Pichi 😂 Hopefully you never get to the point where you have to reuse the drop trap you built for Pichi
lmao I caught him in like 5 minutes. I was NOT prepared. It'd be great if they can all be this easy, haha
I ran a cat rescue for 8 yrs and did a lot of work with TNR ferals. In my experience, the hardest cats to trap are the ones who have previously entered a trap before and escaped (it can happen on occasion if the conditions aren't right) or have seen another cat trapped. 😄
@@kimw92 Makes sense! Pichi never gave the traps a second chance during her rescue.
One of my cats a semi-feral. She was almost killed by my ex-neighbor( he would drown them. She wasn't the most loving of cats, but she loved the dog we had at the time. They were the best of friends. For 12 years they were the best buds. She live for a few years more outside cat and all. The last year of her life she came back to sleep and go out in the morning. She passed away in the house. Buried her in the yard under a cement art peice I made. The few times she trusted me to let me pet her were great. We would sit on my stairs and hang out for a bit. She would get petted and I'd get drooled on. Good times. Well I'm now up to 9 cats. Found the 9th one a month or so ago. That thing is usually glued to my butt, much to my other butt baby cat annoyance. Getting the 9th spayed next month sometime.
..I actually have 35 cats, myself.😅
That's horrible about your ex-neighbor.....I hope he was stopped.😾 💔😿
Glad your one girl survived him, at least. 💜 Thank you for giving her such a beautiful final resting place. ^-^
@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341
Thanks. I missed her and her leathery ears.. They moved out shortly after. They trashed the house on the way out. They flooded they house as a middle finger to the next owner. They were trash humans.
@@kasugaifox8571 Jesus did anyone ever reported them for animal abuse?
@@Tamaki742
Not that I know of. They got evicted soon after.
Jun: Sir, what are you doing there?
Poki: o__o
Some additional info re trapped cats. I had experience with cat that would have sworn was feral. He tested positive for FIV/FELV so did not want to put him back. He went to sanctuary instead. Within 3 months, he was being held and kissing his caregiver’s face. Since then, I have tried to keep trapped cats in a large cage a little longer to observe them. Give them time to decompress. See if there is a pet cat there from long ago. Thanks for helping that little boy. ❤️
Even if they were born feral... if you have enough time to invest in it, and if you have somewhere for them to go permanently afterward, more of them than it might initially seem are probably actually capable of being tamed - because hissing and clawing is not always a sign of aggression but is more defensive & fear-based instead, and once they learn they don't need to fear..they settle down. These are all Domestic Cats, after all, not true Wild Cats. (It also depends sometimes on what kind of history they have with interacting with humans in their past, even if they were never a pet, have they ever been directly terrorized or harmed[ whether intentionally or accidentally] by a human?[ And what is the cat's individual personality / how exactly do they personally respond to which kinds of things?] There are so many different possible factors, which we just don't usually have any way of knowing for sure. Every cat is different, just like every human-person is. 🙂) But, unfortunately, people don't always have or choose to invest the prolonged time-they worry more about just getting things done as quickly as possible; which is better than nothing, but still less than what would be a perfect ideal. (And if you don't have a for-sure place for them to go, it can reduce their feral survival instincts to tame them even if they could have been tamed, so it's sometimes just better not to tame them so they can stay in familiar surroundings without damaging their chances for continued survival rather than sitting in potentially traumatizing unfamiliar shelter situations hoping to be adopted for an indefinite period of time.)
Maybe one day we will have more people like you, who are able to try and invest that extra bit of time. (And more people willing to provide homes for cats, in general.) 🙂
It’s crazy how cheap the vets are there 😱❤️
His eyes looked so gentle and curious like he was taking in ALL his surroundings
Thank you so much for helping your neighborhood kitties ☺️♥️
In the US his care would have easily cost over $1500. It's amazing of you to help out that sweet soul Rachel!
Ikr I always tell people there would be way less sick pets given up to shelters if the vet bills were not thousands of dollars but no one believes me! Way less animals would be euthanized prematurely if vet bills weren't so goddamned high! People do love their animals but they only have so much they can afford. I'm so sick of the "Well if you can't afford to care for them don't have them!" only to turn around and whine about how many animals are in shelters because people can't afford a $2000 vet bill. US veterinary work is a scam.
I really hope my comment gets seen by Rachel herself because from the bottom of my heart I just wanna say this:
Thank you, for giving all these beautiful furbabies a chance. I've been watching for years now, and I absolutely love your guys' content, and the fact that you go all out for your kitties. I've been raising kittens ever since I was a kid, (Im 22 now, 23 in 8 months) and I know how amazing it is to save these cute little creatures. Once again, thank you and god bless your soul
You saying "He's quite genki" really got me! Such a cute, spicy little guy. Thanks for doing what you could for him!
Vets in the US flatten or notch one of the ears on cats to be released as a visual indicator that it has already been fixed. Makes it easy on vets and rescuers to be able to quickly tell that a cat has been "dealt with" already.
Really appreciate all you do for the cats. Please everyone give to the shelters.
I'm impressed at how affordable vet care seems to be in Japan. The same care here in the states would of been more then 1k.
Yeah, ferals are... Interesting, we've managed with the one we took in since she was only a kitten, maybe a few weeks old.
She turned 18 this October! Still acts a bit wild at times, less so in her old age, but every now and then you're reminded.
Oh no! Collecting them at an alarming rate! Makes me happy makes me smile 😁
I'd rather have Pumpkin seen adoped because of FIV and missing teeth, but at least he is better now. Most feral cats are hissy at the start but become cuddlebugs once they adjusted to the new situation. I recently took in a 10yrs old street cat without teeth. She hid under the sofa for a month, now she's hugging my leg all day long and doesn't want to leave the house.
I adopted a cat from a feral cat colony. She was young enough and tame enough to adopt out. She is just the sweetest cat in the world. Love that you helped this kitty out
Rachel: okay Pichi is the last cat
This orange lad: *allow me to introduce myself*
Rachel you have a 🤎 heart of gold !!!!
Not one look back 🤣 glad he'll be doing better much now ❤
About 2 months ago we found a stray 6 week old kitten in our feild, we suspected had been dumped, we contacted our local cat charity and managed to trap her safely. shes now living happily as a lil munchkin with our other 2 cats without your vidoes like this and the ones with pichi we probably wouldnt of known how to keep her around and to trap her safely thank you. Mae the lil bean thanks you for helping her get loving home :}
Rachel you are the Salt of the Earth. Taking care of the stray and feral cats of your area is such a selfless thing to do. You take on the responsibility both physically and financially which many people can't afford to do and others just won't. So thank you for your heart, for caring about the animal in the shadows. I love you for your kindness.
Awwwww how wonderful! Kitties need our help so much!
Thank you for helping Pumpkin! 💕
Welp, you've met eyes now, you gotta keep him
so glad pumpkin was a quick catch!! he was so ready to head out 🥰 thank you to you and Rana and the other volunteers ❤️
Poor pumpkin. I am so glad that you found him and helped him.
7:43 “…we can build a cat house!”
Always good to diversify your income streams. 🙃
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who giggles a little every time they call it that.
Glad I wasn't the only one who did a double take!
My cat had to have all of his teeth removed and he's doing excellent, he's on strict wet food diet, but has eaten some kibble since our other cat has his teeth still. Leaving the bad teeth probably would have caused Pumpkin more discomfort so I'm glad the vet went this route and I'm sure his watchers will make sure he gets plenty of food.
I started following you guys shortly before you found Poki, and its been so amazing to watch the journey yall have gone on from "we saved this kitten!" to "We are literally building a room into our house for saving cats!". Excited to see where it takes you next!
Thank you for caring for Pumpkin!
Thanks for taking care of Pumpkin!
Rachel & Jun: saving Japan one cat at a time. ❤
Only 400$!?!?!?!? Here even getting a quick X-ray here is about 500$!!!!
Vet bills are definitely cheaper here!! Plus there are some vets who sometimes work with established TNR groups to offer discounts on top of that as well.
Thanks for saving them all thanks for saving them all you guys are the best
Can't wait for the "Rachel & Jun new mega super cat Shelter" video 💚🧡
Rachel and Jun’s cat catching reminds me of how my families animal shelter started. It started with them taking in a bunch of feral cats and now we have three shelters and one of my dogs were adopted from them.
Y’know, I never really liked cats at all until I started watching your channel. Now I have two cats we adopted from the local shelter. Thank you for helping me understand how great cats can be, and especially for doing what you’re doing with TNR in Fukuoka!
That's awesome - I'm glad there are people who change their minds about cats, like you, out there; "better late than never" they say! 💜
Big Ole THANK YOU for rescuing cats. You guys do so much.
Rachel, do ALL the sponsorships you need to pay for kitties. I will happily listen to ads from you!
That dental work was very reasonable, my cat Minnie had to have 13 teeth pulled and it cost me $1,100 Canadian. :) We have a number of rescues that do T N R and also one that has built a fenced feral colony with a building. They all do amazing work. My two cats I have currently are rescues that I got at the age of 2.
We adopted an FIV positive cat from the shelter named Trigger! He's never going to be a snuggle bug, but he's happy to live with us and our dog. He accepts our scritches.
I like how Rhonna smiles with her eyes as she was introduced.
Thank you for helping Pumpkin 🎃
A friend of mine has been doing this. She moved to a new neighbourhood and made it her goal to TNR all of the cats in the alley. It took 3 years but they're all neutered now and she saved something like 4 litters of kittens so they got adopted out.
Our cat Spooky had a similar thing when we adopted her from the shelter in 2012. Her mouth was infected and inflamed and after several treatments with antibiotics that didn't seem to help, she had to have her teeth removed too. She only has her canines and a couple incisors left, but has no trouble eating anything. (And I really mean anything cause she's a bit overweight...)
Best of luck to little Pumpkin
One of our cats is almost the same lmao! She had several teeth removed but loves to eat and is a lil chunky. She’s also missing a leg, so the chunky needs to go for the sake of her mobility as she ages
Rachel can not be stopped! Support!
Good job. Thank you for helping that poor cat. I thought his vet bills would be much higher. They would be in the US.
This is so wholesome. Thank you for having a beautiful soul
I love Flatbush Cats, Human Cat Tree and Walter Santi. These channels do outdoor feral cat colony care, TNR and cat fostering and I love that Rachel & Jun will be fostering in their new home too. Pumpkin will hopefully be able to live life happily and infection free thanks to your efforts. This was a lovely video!
I recommended Flatbush Cats too! Though I worry about introducing them to Walter Santi. Next thing you know, Rachel and Jun will have not just their indoor crew and their quarantine room, but they'll end up with a fenced/netted back yard with 15 cats and add another room to their house with heated floors for all the "outdoor" cats to come in and snooze LOL!
@@Kalyahna Would that be such a bad thing?🤔🤔 😅🤭💜
I had only heard of Walter Santi before! Might have to check out these other channels now too; Thanks^-^
You two are such kind souls. God bless you for helping Pumpkin.
Thank you for helping make this world a kinder place for cats.
I used to TNR a few years ago, and it was so gratifying. I can't do it anymore, but it makes my heart happy to see you starting this up and helping these stray/feral kitties! Thank you!
I’m glad you explained TNR as I was trying to figure out what T&R was 😆 I look forward to all of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Yesss, I was just about to go google TNR when she started explaining, perfect timing 😂
Wow, he went into the trap so easily! He must have been a very hungry boy.
I live in a place where not many stray cats live but if I ever see one I WILL save them ☺️
Oh I just know your new place is just gonna be a fostering paradise. 🙏🙏 I love what you're doing to help so many cats
Major blessings/kudos for your compassionate souls! 💖🥺🥰
Great job Rachel. You and jun are very kind souls
Thank you for helping Pumpking. ☺️
Thank you so much for giving Pumpkin the care he needed. The footage was great and very descriptive of the situation. Looking forward to more videos like this.
all that work for $400USD, meanwhile my vet wants $5k to sedate and remove four teeth on my feral rescue. great work with the TNR! it's the way to go to keep cats comfortable when they can't be rehabbed, as they know their territory and they'll no longer be able to produce more cats. since Pumpkin was an unneutered tom, you might want to see if there are any other feral cats nearby.
I can't believe those vet bills came out to only 400! With all those teeth removed, too! My cat's last dental was about that much and he only needed cleaning.
$400?! THAT AMAZING how lucky! The dental work alone cost well over 1000 here in the states.
Ik Pumpkin needed to have his teeth removed, but if he is going to be released as a stray cat won't he need his teeth to catch prey? Or at the very least bite into smaller critters like mice?
Cat food I understand not chewing or being able to swallow it whole but a wild cat I wonder how it effects their hunting
He doesn't! There are a lot of people who leave out food for community cats. He shouldn't have to catch much prey himself. One of the things TNR groups try to do is make sure that there's someone in the neighborhood keeping an eye out on/feeding the cats that are released. We know there are several people in the area where Pumpkin was released that feed the community cats.
I was expecting to see the same struggle they had with Peachy, but it ended up being the total opposite.🤣
Poki looks so guilty at the end 😆
Sweet little Pumpkin, thank you so much for saving this sweet baby! 🙏
