@@cyberhansa Me three! Do as much good as you can, as long as you can, as often as you can, in as many places as you can, for all those you can! Ever heard of the story of the Widow's Mite?
Me four! I recently increased my monthly donations, and a couple of weeks ago received my first postcard from Flatbush Cats. Up on my fridge now and waiting for more... not as a reminder of the horrible life that street cats suffer, but as a reminder of FC's ongoing efforts to fix this terrible problem. For anyone out there on the fence, please -- if you're able -- donate. If you're watching this, I know you loves kitties and want to help them. Please help.
I can't do monthly, because I never know what my monthly income will be, so I sent a one-time donation. Flatbush Cats does such good work. We don't have anything like that here in Australia, and I used to live across the water from Brooklyn, so supporting them is easy.
This stuff is heartbreaking. This is why TNR is so important: preventing kittens from being born into a world of suffering (that they might not even survive in without human support)
So true ! I rescue and TNR'd 57 cats just in my small neighborhood. I also have a small colony i care for and have 12 I've taken in because people simply dont want to deal with it. So sad !! If everyone just did a little bit to help things wouldnt be so out of hand. Please people, get your pets spayed, neutered ! 😺😺
TNR solve the problem in bigger scale but sadly most "pet lover" just want to maximize the good feeling of helping cat/dogs. Most popular video mostly feeding or rescuing stray kitten. They dont really care about solving the problem. Just want to judge other human to feel morally superior.
@@nancyzilinsky4219 Hopefully you're spaying the females too? There's always a male around so if you don't spay the females you really haven't accomplished anything. In fact I would concentrate on spaying the females before I worry about the males. Edit Also, do you have a vet to help you with it? I have wanted to start a SNR program but the vets I have talked to say they won't spay or neuter wild cats because they are too hostile to handle. I'm still looking around though.
7:40 You notice the kitten's hand stretch out and the woman sort of held it with her ring finger, as if holding a loved one's hand for support. It probably wasn't intentional but I literally burst into tears. They're just babies, for God's sake. I'm so grateful you're helping, but I can't help but think of all those still out there.
Yes. I adopted my guys Charles and Wilma from a local cat shelter when they were 3 months old. They are about a year now. I love those little guys so much. Wilma was left in a cardboard box with her litter mates when her owner moved out of the apartment thankfully someone found her and brought her to the shelter. Was severely underweight. The shelter got her healthy and now she's living her best life with me and her buddy Charles. Grateful to have them.
Will, I am a monthly supporter and these videos do make a difference. I really awed by the work you and the Flatbush Cats crew do to help these beautiful animals. TNR is catching on where I live and FC is a part of that movement. Thanks!
I have found kittens like these many times. In the last year I have spayed/neutered many cats out of pocket. I have been forced to moveb4 times because neighbors complain. Bless you for doing these vital works. I know there are not enough people that are aware.
Thank you for all you do. ❤️ These kittens are so defenseless, but the suffering adult cats are just as defenseless, and they all need the help we can give them. Sometimes one has to be a detective to find the ones who hide so well. Yes, neighbours who don't understand can be a problem, unfortunately. I hope that more people will see these videos and rather than get in the way of rescue, decide to help. God bless you. ❤️🙏🍀🐾🐾🐈
Try contacting a shelter near you! Many can subsidize spay/neuter and could even sign you on as a team member! This is what I did in my area. Asking for help can be a blessing sometimes
Can we call the spicy nugget Hero? As he or she saved four beautiful babies lives leading you into the basement. What you're doing is amazing. These babies will have a happy life away from the torment of the street life. I do wish no cat or dog would have to suffer that fate. If I had the money I would donate and I would start my own here in my area.
That's the exact same name that popped into my head! It really does fit them, and it's fitting for either gender! Their lives were forever changed thanks to this spicy kitty, like an angel sent from above to heed their cries for help
First time I syringe fed a kitten I didn't realise I was overdoing it until some of the liquidised food shot out his nostril. Thankfully no harm seemed to be done as that boy lived to be almost twenty years old. Lesson learned - take it really, really slowly.
Remember folks - if you cant support this channel you CAN still support your local shelter or humane society. Volunteer. Time spent sitting with lonely pets who are waiting for a new home can bring joy to you... and to a critter who's lost the only home they knew.
Our local Humane Society was worthless. So was Animal Control. I can’t even understand why they exist. Must be to pad political unemployment rate calculations.
I have done TNR work on my own for about 10 years. The problem I had was the cost of spay and neuter. A male cat was costing upwards of $150. Most people can't afford that price. I took my cat to the vet the other day for his 3 year rabies shot and it cost $140. That is ridiculous! If the prices would come down, more people could afford to get their pets fixed and vetted. Irresponsible pet owners and high costs are problems in the USA. Thank you for all you do! Love from Texas
I feel very fortunate to live in Western Washington for one reason, the largest percentage take SNR seriously. In Tacoma there is a huge surgery center that only does spay/neuter. It is low cost for everyone, and free for those below a certain income level.
My parents have a cat colony in the back of the house. None of them have ever suffered severe illness, but some have died from dog attacks, some just left and never came back. There’s almost four generations of cats now. I don’t have money, and my parents don’t have money - we’ve looked at other options, low-cost clinics, vet insurances, none of it we can do. It’s so frustrating we can’t stop it without money. I hate it.
Seeing stories like this makes you wonder just how many poor kittens are dumped in areas where there is no hope of finding help just to suffer and die. One f my sweetest cats was a dumped former pet that had no idea how to find food. When he stumbled up onto my front porch trying to get to the food I used to leave out for the neighbor's cat (they've moved away now) he was nothing but a skeleton with fur. My vet was shocked that his internal organs were all still functioning. Now he's a big, fat, fluffy, solid black purring machine that loves pets and cuddles. His favorite "toy" is another dumped cat that had one kitten and both now live indoors with me. These two have become almost inseparable. Shortly after I managed to get her inside with her baby and they had adjusted to being indoor pets, somebody dumped another pregnant mother off and although one didn't survive the other two did and the three of them sure keep this house a noisy but happy place. Strangely, the kittens, now full grown cats, are at least twice the size of their mother but she doesn't take any nonsense from them. Mine were the lucky ones. How many are never rescued? Sadly, any rescue groups that try to function locally have to deal with the harassment and STUPID obstacles being put in their way by the local greedy, money mad so-called "Humane Society" that feels like ALL donations of money and support belongs to them alone so the rescues all have to stay low key in order to survive and function.
The most heartbreaking thing in this video was that person passing by that sick kitten in the street like it was invisible..leaving him there to die slowly..💔 Thank you Flatbush Cats for your outstanding work..💙🙏💙 I've been doing TNR/fostering and volunteering for more than twenty years,i know too well the importance of this work..
That sick kitten dying on the street (with that one eye abcessing), luckily, got adopted by the founder. Mani is living HER best life now, but she's a very lucky one. She reminds me so much of Kitten Lady's Eloise in all honesty.
This video made me cry. I get so angry when I see people breed their animals for profit when there are so many animals out there that currently need homes. Thank you for the great work you do
The woman providing medical care is an angel! I would hear her exhale and think how frustrated she must be to find a precious animal in that condition, and then she pulls it back in and provides words of loving encouragement to each kitten. May God richly bless you.
"You're not trash." Heart breaking but inspiring. TNR is so vital, thank you. 😊 I've seen parts of this before but it was good to see more of the care that came after the rescue. It'd be good to have a 'this is them now' bit, at the end. I couldn't tell who was who at the end.
This was made 2 weeks ago only; the cats shown at the end are not the kittens in this video. I’m sure Flatbush will update us later on for these specific kittens
The lucky ones! I'm a passionate supporter of TNR. I've helped on many in my area and would love to be able to accompany on some more next time I'm in the flatbush area. More hands is a blessing that is much needed and I wish more people had the big hearts as you do. Breaks my heart seeing that clip often of the cat with the horrible eye and how it's just ignored and walked right past. I'm so happy you were able to help that lucky one as well. 😻💞
I broke down a cried like a baby when that kitten looked up at her through its newly un-crusted eyes. I wish I had more money to donate. Someday heee soon.
Your videos are always so difficult to watch. Early 2018 I adopted 2 siblings from Athens, Greece who were found in a similar situation to this one. A sweet girl named Nana and her affectionate brother Feliks. They came to live with me in the Netherlands through an adoption agency that takes care of a tnr program, and brings streetcats and dogs to live with people in countries that don’t have a stray animal problem. Unfortunately, exactly a year ago this month, my sweetest girl Nana suddenly became very sick, and despite all of mine and the efforts of the vet over the course of a few weeks, I still lost her. When an animal you love is suffering, you want to do everything you can to get them better. For me the round the clock feeding of small amounts, giving her her meds, driving her to her vet appointments (in fact, using a taxi because my stupid car had conveniently decided that this was the best time to definitively stop working), those were very stressful, but nothing compared to knowing deep down that she wouldn’t make it. I really admire the volunteers that work with these sick kittens, because that feeling of despair is one of the worst feelings out there. And I think it’s inevitable to not get at least a little attached to any animal you care for. (Sorry for the essay) TLDR: I have mad respect for volunteers who care for those that need it the most.
Just so you know, there's tons of stray cats in the Netherlands also, so next time you can get a checked, neutered, vaccinated, and chipped cat from right here.
Heartbreaking to see baby kittens in such dire condition. I remember the kitten on the sidewalk with puss coming out of its eye and if I remember correctly you saved that precious kitten. You are amazing. ❤️
The information here and specific advice on how to care for these guys is amazing! Not just "bring them inside and feed them friskies pate, then kick them outside when they pee in a corner"...Great effort to you all, maybe it will payoff and enable others to give similar care in other places, that dont have the benefit of outreach like yours. So glad I donate, you guys are the best.
Thank you for the hard work you do. My cat was a spicy street kitten rescued at about 4 months old, she spent over a year in foster care before she came to her to forever home and she has blossomed into the most beautiful loving cat to those of us that she trusts. I hope these kittens and the spicy nugget find their forever homes too
It’s so hard to see such young, sick animals in deplorable surroundings. Don’t the property owners know what’s happening in their buildings? The work you all do is so important and much needed. Thank you!
i'm a grizzled old Vietnam Vet, and seeing the condition of those kittens almost brought me to tears! I'm a doner to your great organization and an X-Brooklyn resident who graduated from Erasmus Hall High School so I know the neighborhood. It's a tough environment for man & beast and not a forgiving one. I thank you for your relentless work in helping as many of these poor cretures as you can. I wish I could give you more!
I love the work your organization does. I will continue to spread the word and show your videos to whoever may care. I can't spare much myself unfortunately, but please take this as a token of my support.
Once I'm done with uni and secure a job I'm going to start donating to you guys. I live in a country where there aren't a lot of stray animals, but it clearly still is the case in lots of other places and it's horrible to see. Keep up the good work!
The lucky ones as you always point out. So many more yet to save. The first time I saw a few of your videos I saw how you emphasized on it and now when I see a new video I always pray for the ones first that are still waiting to be rescued clinging on to life. May god give them the strength to survive longer till someone like you will hopefully reach them.
just donated to you guys. i'm not in a position where i can afford a monthly donation, but i wanted to help anyway. bless your hearts for working with and saving these cats/kittens who are left with no other hope
These people are incredible... they are really super heroes... I am a monthly supporter to flatbush cats because of the incredible work they are doing in this part of the country...I hope in the near future I will be able to contribute more, because it's organizations like this at the grassroots level that are the key to changing the situation. I send continued prayers and blessings to all these folks to and all the precious fur babies...my hope is I will see in my lifetime an end to this darkness. ❤
Heartbreaking to see this kitties suffering… but it’s everywhere, he in Spain we have so many street cats, it’s just never ending. It’s really hart to break the cycle.
👍 TRULY ONE OF THE BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEOS ON RESCUING ANY ANIMAL..IT REALLY IS HEARTBREAKING..BUT WHAT A LIFE CHANGING WELL THOUGHT OUT VIDEO.....THANK YOU SIR...
I don't know how they survive until someone comes along. What they eat. Thank you and your team for making the effort, getting in there, and saving their lives! I love your videos. Turns out their little scout was in the best shape of all, and was looking for a kind person to help his sick siblings! Scout would be a great name for him. Or Hercules. Love them all. Thank you for all your edification of the masses. This one did make me cry... I hate that this continues. Animals, whether pets or ferals, deserve to live a happy, healthy, comfortable life. Thank you to all you fosters, rescuers, and TNR folks who save the world one cat at a time! ❤️🙏🍀🐾🐾❤️
It may be beside the point but contributes to this horrific situation: Why don't some people respect themselves enough to keep spaces free from garbage and conditions that lead to disease and sickness of animals and themselves? My respect for rescuers is strong and unwavering.
Thank you for having the courage to show how hard, and yet how rewarding animal rescue work is. It is not for the faint of heart! Flatbush Cats gets it! Blessings to all
Your videos often make me cry. I don't think I would ever have the heart to do this kind of work, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving so many cats.
Oh gosh the sheer number of times one of your vids has brought me to tears. It is such hard work to rescue any little creature that’s been neglected, but as you said, you can see the reward in front of you. Thank you for what you do and thank you for letting us look in on the process!
I am subscribed and will like every time in these cases. So needless. Heartbreaking 💔🐾💔 How human beings continually walk by and turn a blind eye to the suffering is beyond me. I judge a person by how they treat animals. Period!
this one got more tears out of me than usual, probably because my own cat is sleeping right behind my keyboard as I watched. your work is amazing and I cannot wait to be at a point in my life where I can support it officially
I see the adult cats come in like, "We heard that some new babies arrived? That right?" Ready to step up and help. (I can only send my healing vibes for these little ones & thanks for all the Volunteers.)
My cat Pickle was found exactly in this state. Her white fur was just black and red and brown, so many fleas. She is a pain in my backside and I am grateful every day for the people who rescued her. My cat Hank was similar, and in his case his eyes became so infected he lost one of them. Bless all the heroes helping these babies, and all the other cats.
Thank you, so sad !!! 😭😭😭 I actually couldn't watch but listened to the video all the way and learned allot! God bless you for helping His creation!!! ❤❤❤😻😻😻

I hope so, that was so horrible :(
The information here and specific advice on how to care for these guys is amazing! Not just "bring them inside and feed them friskies pate, then kick them outside when they pee in a corner"...Great effort to you all, maybe it will payoff and enable others to give similar care in other places, that dont have the benefit of outreach like yours. So glad I donate, you guys are the best.
yes. Brilliant.
Thank you for the hard work you do. My cat was a spicy street kitten rescued at about 4 months old, she spent over a year in foster care before she came to her to forever home and she has blossomed into the most beautiful loving cat to those of us that she trusts.
I hope these kittens and the spicy nugget find their forever homes too
It’s so hard to see such young, sick animals in deplorable surroundings. Don’t the property owners know what’s happening in their buildings? The work you all do is so important and much needed. Thank you!
People think they are “just animals” and animals are expendable and have no feelings.
God bless Flatbush Cats and all the precious fur babies. ❤️❤️😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏
i'm a grizzled old Vietnam Vet, and seeing the condition of those kittens almost brought me to tears! I'm a doner to your great organization and an X-Brooklyn resident who graduated from Erasmus Hall High School so I know the neighborhood. It's a tough environment for man & beast and not a forgiving one. I thank you for your relentless work in helping as many of these poor cretures as you can. I wish I could give you more!
Thank you so much and God bless you and all for helping this poor beutiful babys😭😢💔🙏🙏
Heartbreaking. I foster & tnr here on long Island NY. I see the difference we can make 💖
Absolutely selfless work......
Spicy nugget hero,
as well as Flatbush Cats 🐈.
😭😭
I love the work your organization does. I will continue to spread the word and show your videos to whoever may care. I can't spare much myself unfortunately, but please take this as a token of my support.
They are all beautiful and gorgeous kittens.
This channel inspired me to start volunteering at a local rescue. Thank you for all that you do!
Danke! Für euren Einsatz dieser hilflosen Tiere. Schön dass es euch gibt. 🙏
This is heartbreaking. Thank you for all you’re doing ❤️
Once I'm done with uni and secure a job I'm going to start donating to you guys.
I live in a country where there aren't a lot of stray animals, but it clearly still is the case in lots of other places and it's horrible to see. Keep up the good work!
this one made me cry. these poor sweet little beans. i hope they're all okay
The lucky ones as you always point out. So many more yet to save.
The first time I saw a few of your videos I saw how you emphasized on it and now when I see a new video I always pray for the ones first that are still waiting to be rescued clinging on to life. May god give them the strength to survive longer till someone like you will hopefully reach them.
Oh, what strength that would take…😔
Much love from the Netherlands
These videos always make me cry! I am so glad you guys exist and spread awareness.
For the algorithm and also to say TNR is essential for a better future
My heart melted when you said dspicy nugget! I'd call that one buffalo sauce
Thank you.
Thank you for saving these precious kittens.
This was tough to watch. The key thing is the message of hope and seeing the little ones start to bounce back.
I'm grateful for spicy nugget & for you doing this work. Thank you so much.
just donated to you guys. i'm not in a position where i can afford a monthly donation, but i wanted to help anyway. bless your hearts for working with and saving these cats/kittens who are left with no other hope
It's heartbreaking but reality.
Praying all the kittens survived.
Dziękujemy.
These people are incredible... they are really super heroes... I am a monthly supporter to flatbush cats because of the incredible work they are doing in this part of the country...I hope in the near future I will be able to contribute more, because it's organizations like this at the grassroots level that are the key to changing the situation. I send continued prayers and blessings to all these folks to and all the precious fur babies...my hope is I will see in my lifetime an end to this darkness. ❤
Heartbreaking to see this kitties suffering… but it’s everywhere, he in Spain we have so many street cats, it’s just never ending. It’s really hart to break the cycle.
👍 TRULY ONE OF THE BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEOS ON RESCUING ANY ANIMAL..IT REALLY IS HEARTBREAKING..BUT WHAT A LIFE CHANGING WELL THOUGHT OUT VIDEO.....THANK YOU SIR...
My god, the poor babies. Bless you all for your hard work in rescuing them.
Bless you for helping these sweet babies. My wish is to have all homeless animals off the street. ♥️
Thank you for helping them!❤️
I don't know how they survive until someone comes along. What they eat. Thank you and your team for making the effort, getting in there, and saving their lives! I love your videos. Turns out their little scout was in the best shape of all, and was looking for a kind person to help his sick siblings! Scout would be a great name for him. Or Hercules. Love them all. Thank you for all your edification of the masses. This one did make me cry... I hate that this continues. Animals, whether pets or ferals, deserve to live a happy, healthy, comfortable life. Thank you to all you fosters, rescuers, and TNR folks who save the world one cat at a time! ❤️🙏🍀🐾🐾❤️
Very difficult viewing, but imagine the difficulty of being that little kitty suffering through this ..TU Flatbush for all you do. 💖
It may be beside the point but contributes to this horrific situation: Why don't some people respect themselves enough to keep spaces free from garbage and conditions that lead to disease and sickness of animals and themselves? My respect for rescuers is strong and unwavering.
Usually they are sic or depressed themselfs in someway. With cats it can also be someone trying to do a good deed and it getting out of hand.
Thank you for your wonderful, if difficult work with unwanted, abused, and abandoned cats and kittens!
Thank you for having the courage to show how hard, and yet how rewarding animal rescue work is. It is not for the faint of heart! Flatbush Cats gets it! Blessings to all
Your videos often make me cry. I don't think I would ever have the heart to do this kind of work, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving so many cats.
Oh gosh the sheer number of times one of your vids has brought me to tears. It is such hard work to rescue any little creature that’s been neglected, but as you said, you can see the reward in front of you. Thank you for what you do and thank you for letting us look in on the process!
Sweet little ones, excellent job… thanks!😻😻😻
Glad to see you are still at it. I haven't seen any new videos in a while. Bless you for all you do for the spicy and crusty nuggets.
I can hear the carers breathy relief.just amazing work
Thank you for helping these sweet little babies!
All those sighs and deep breaths while the rescuers work.... Very heavy! Thank you for what you do! 🙏💖
I am subscribed and will like every time in these cases. So needless. Heartbreaking 💔🐾💔
How human beings continually walk by and turn a blind eye to the suffering is beyond me. I judge a person by how they treat animals. Period!
Thank you again for doing what you do.
this one got more tears out of me than usual, probably because my own cat is sleeping right behind my keyboard as I watched. your work is amazing and I cannot wait to be at a point in my life where I can support it officially
Thank you for all you do. You are the light of the Earth. ❤
Very eye opening. Very heartbreaking.
Love this channel. Has an Ira Glass vibe. I think the writing behind the stories make the vids so compelling. Well done.
I see the adult cats come in like, "We heard that some new babies arrived? That right?"
Ready to step up and help.
(I can only send my healing vibes for these little ones & thanks for all the Volunteers.)
Bless you for all you do. Happy to bee a supporter.💕😻
Every cat deserves better than this
My cat Pickle was found exactly in this state. Her white fur was just black and red and brown, so many fleas. She is a pain in my backside and I am grateful every day for the people who rescued her. My cat Hank was similar, and in his case his eyes became so infected he lost one of them. Bless all the heroes helping these babies, and all the other cats.
Thank you, so sad !!! 😭😭😭
I actually couldn't watch but listened to the video all the way and learned allot! God bless you for helping His creation!!! ❤❤❤😻😻😻
How heart breaking the situation is.
Thank you for your work. 💐
Slow, devoted, painstaking work for these lucky kittens. I’m so very, very grateful for what you do! 🇨🇦
I love you guys and your organization. I have donated before, and will donate again. God bless you.
Thank you for your work ❤️ God bless you 🙏
The dirt, poor babies::((.
Wow all you guys do for those sick, week, poor, motherless kittens. Not cops, not fireman, or any 1st responders. The HEROs are you guys. 👏
Thanks for your service.
