Only thing I would do is provide them with a collar and silent/quiet tag with your address/phone. That way if someone finds them, they don't think they don't have a home. Make sure tag is quiet so they can roam around and hunt. If you really wanted to, you could put an tracking tag on their collar so you can see where they are.
I'm so relieved some of your cats returned, they are wild and love roaming. I would love it if they'd seek shelter at night away from predators. Looking forward to them hanging around and eating rodents from the watermill, an ideal situation indeed. I have an idea for keeping the camper cooler and cutting down on rain water leakage. How about construct a pop up type structure (only covered on the top) with a sturdy roof (not just shade cloth) and you can wire it up for solar energy on top for a temporary sun/heat barrier so you guys can live cooler in your camper. I love watching your videos and looking forward to seeing all that you do, you guys are making a difference.
The cats getting out, made me so sad, but when they came back for feeding it made me happy. Have a sweet bell when ever you’re getting ready to put food out, that way they can have a communication sound that they can easily adapt. Best wishes with these 🐈 cats😊
Drew- get Brittany a UV flashlight. We used them living in SoCal to see critters at night. Scorpions light up awesomely well at night when the uv light shines on them - so you can see them !
That structure would make a wonderful chicken coup! The kitties will be coming and going as long as you feed them and will slowly warm up to you and stay. They will love you!
Kitties are most active at dusk and at dawn. That's the best time to interact with them. Other than that, they're just sleeping somewhere and don't want to be bothered. Good luck! Love conquers all!
Listen…..don’t ever fault yourselves over what is not known. Your intent seems to always be out of love and kindness and that’s what really counts. So happy things are working out and your getting your roof started. How exciting! Blessings to your family fur babies and all. 🙏🏽❤️🐾
I have the feral cats. I’ve actually trained them to come onto my screened in porch during the winter and have a heater out there and bedding! The key is to always always always have food available to them! They can smell the food for a long ways away, and they will always come for easy food versus having to hunt! So keep the food football full, even if it’s just dry cat food! They will come back.
Please understand that your intentions for the kitties was good and who knows they may just hang around. Don't think of it as any failure, your hearts are good.
Appreciate your wam comment! 🙏 We put a lot of thought into the idea of adopting them and then building the catio. We have slowly been gaining their trust. The food really helps. 🐈
SO FUN !!! To hear you both speak Portuguese. You always make is sound like you are really bad at it. That was PRETTY DANG GOOD. Even if it is just basic phrases, IT COUNTS ! .....If you are communicating in the language, your are speaking the language. So happy for you both... and sorry about the kitties.
Good morning Drew and Brittany. I love how you wanted to share your adventure with 3 kittens. You provided everything for a safe home. They will return after their adventure.
Of course your fur babies have returned to you, but on their terms, as it should be. You both have such gentle voices and gentle ways, so you are earning their trust. Have you thought of opening up your mill to them, leaving the door open, so they can discover the mice that live in there? You can even put in a cat door for them so that they can come and go as they please. It is always a joy to see the two of you. I'm so glad that I became a patron. I wish I could afford to help you out more, but living on social security, we have to watch what we spend. But every little bit helps, right? Have a delightful week! I can't wait to see what you accomplish next. Sending you both love, prayers, and gentle hugs from Donna in Florida......
I’m glad 2 out of the 3 kitties came back. Hopefully she will come back too🤞🏼. I’m very excited to see next week’s video. It’s great to see progress on the Watermill.
Soooo happy the kitties stuck around and you’re able to love on them and know they’re safe. ❤️🙌🏼❤️ Stay cool and safe out there!! Excited for all of the progress to come! 🎉
Yea two kitties are back! It would be ideal to have each of them implanted with a *cat GPS chip.* You’re going to be terribly broken hearted the day one of them doesn’t return so please consider the implant or a quiet tracking collar for peace of mind. Thanks to your kind hearts they’ll probably stick around but at least if one gets injured then you’ll know where to find him/her. 😻
The tears just spurted when you first pet the grey kitty and then the other one came also. Turning over and letting you touch their bellies means they trust you. I hope Mama made it back safely if she went. Years ago we moved 17 miles and our cat went back to our old house through an ice storm, across a highway and across two wide creeks. We have no idea how he did it or how he knew where to go. Just say your prayers that she has guides to keep her safe. Love and hugs to all
This is a true story of our cat when we moved from farm to city 23 miles away. We left the cat, Midnight on the farm as we went back on weekends. After about two months, Midnight turned up on the back steps of the house in the city. He had never been taken there. Amazing isn’t it! The cats decided you two will be their people.❤
Glad it’s starting to come together for you. Hopefully it all works out and the cats come back and stick around they seem to be getting used to you. You made a good decision not to chase them. Well done ❤❤❤
I'm so happy that at least 2 of your new furry babies have connected with you. I mean how could they not learn to trust you Brittany. ❤❤❤ Also, how wonderful that the roof work in underway, or maybe complete now.... Can hardly wait for the next video.
maybe you could spread a tarp or some thing just above your camper roof to help keep the heat from your roof. or maybe putting some insulation on the roof to try to help
Glad that two of the cats returned. Just keep leaving food close to your van and try to be close to them even if they dont let you touch them. It's not easy to earn they trust but you had to be pacient.🤞 By the way, I'm impressed with your portuguese. Not only the pronunciation but you understand extremely well when someone is speaking portuguese. Congrats 👏
So happy the two younger cats reappeared and want to be your pets. As your friends had been feeding them from young kittens they are probably more socialised than mum. Your patience is rewarded. I think you might be surprised how much affection and attention they will give you, they already seem to trust you.❤❤❤
Hi Drew and Britany. Britany sweetie, outdoor, wild, or feral cats have a keen sense of survival. How hot it was for you would not have been so hot for them as they could well be resting under bushes. Also, most learn the ability to hunt. You have made a little shade spot for them. Some things and some people are meant to roam free. But in the meantime, guys, you have a perfect outdoor sleeping area for yourselves. Although it looks like you may have realised that already, and it looked lovely with the fairy lights. Drew, you were spot on when you said about there being only so much learning you can do being on the road. There is nothing wrong with setting roots down. I travelled a lot on my own when i was younger. I am 53 and think i was late 20,s or early 30's when i set down a form or roots. I was 17 when i left home and started on my own personal journeys. I bought a dog too, who luckily could go to work with me. But it was 2010 when i found my real root base. Now i have 3 dogs, all of which are rescues. I am doing yet another online study course (i like to keep my brain occupied, esp as my dad had altzimers).Now i have some fantastic memories and photos as it was in the days when you developed your photos. I have a big " memory" box with all sorts of things in. I still have all the experiences from travelling. But now i have some stability, too. I have my dogs, my home, my garden, where i grow some veggies in raised planters, lots of bee and butterfly friendly flowers. I have trees too. I have friends nearby as well as afar. I am also able to put into practise my environmental ideals that i carried and developed further whilst travelling. The thing,that is not the best now is my health, and other than my health, i am happy and content. I think most people who travelled find a fullstop. A place to settle in. Some other people do travelling later in life. You just take the best of both into your heart. The watermill is in your soul now. I love you guys. Oh yes, both of your Portuguese has really come on leaps and bounds x
Aw! Those cats are so cute! I am so happy for you that they ended up trusting you. I am sure you guys are so happy as well. Hopefully, the mother cat comes back.
Such a warm hearted video! Just loved watching the trust and bond grow between you and your new kitties! They've returned, you past the test, and now they'll be with you forever! So, sweet. Your patience paid off.
Leave their food inside the 'catery' with the door open. They'll return for their food. Keep the door propped open. They'll soon enough realize its their place... they're safe...and their food is consistently there. Give them time... consistency is the key.
Fun. Yay for happy endings. But let me tell you, if you don't already know...Wild boar are NO JOKE. They are strong and ornery... not to mention destructive. Even wild pigs, due to their size can be a threat. Maybe get some whistles or something as pigs will spook. You know what's best... and there's always Google. So happy kitties are back. Cant wait for next week!
Yes, so true. I follow a TH-cam family in France living in a Chateau in Normandy, and wild boar - pretty much overnight! - destroyed their beautifully planned garden - just dug everything up! Might want to talk to locals about how to keep them roaming wild AWAY from your property. Especially since eventually you are going to plant vegetables on our terraces.
Thank you for loving and being there for these precious furbabies they are gorgeous they new where they would be loved and taken care off so they came back to you both it warms my heart that you
My two puppies came running over when they heard the kitties 😸😸😸 You will have the best entertainment with the kitties. So happy they like their new home. Thinking of you all from Austin, TX
Regarding your roof, I have a metal roof which is fireproof/ resistant that is structurally stronger than a wood or asphalt roof. It would be cost effective and less problematic than adding a concrete roof. Something I would look into before committing to concrete roof.
Yes....I completely agree..strong and light and with isolation..plus in a day a team of 3 guys will set up a roof that size,after the steel beams are in place...there are many factories of metal roof in PT...in Portuguese the name is painel sandwich...price is around 20 euros sqm....
For wild animals, you are doing good at making friends with the kittens. I would try to think of them as working animals that come and go as they please. But, I know that I’d fail miserably with that concept, because they would be my pets. I think you might be able to turn the gray talker in to a quasi pet over time. She seems most interested in that concept. Hope mommy is just living off the land and being the working cat 🐈 that she is.
Ahhhhh so happy for you that the kittens came back.🎉 Hoping the mama cat will also reappear...I was sitting in awe seeing them gaining trust. So awesome to be able to love a pet. I had a Siamese cat that followed me all over, and even lay beside me while I was busy in the garden. And to top it he was a talker, like your grey one😂 . Sadly he passed away. Please enjoy your kittens. Animals can't talk, so we are the voice. Oh and awesome to see the cats in the nearby home. Awesome, wow. So much caring. Cats are good cause they keep the mice away. They can also be very defending over their territory.
You made the hook up now. They will hang around. Might miss a day or two but soon they will be under foot for everything you're doing. My guess is they will be bringing you hunting presents by the fall. Question, do you guys have any trees large enough for hammocks down near your pond? They make camping/hiking hammocks with bug netting. Comfy to sleep in and might be cooler on those hot evenings/nights. Glad to see the project moving forward. Good luck and thanks for all your time.
Needed to to screen in the 4th side! As the owner of 8 different cats (actually they owned me, lol) in my life, I saw this coming a mile away! I understand! Cats are food driven and need playtime! Still great progress on the homestead!
Have you secured the back wall of the catio completely so the escape route is closed? Please consider putting their food & water in the enclosure and leaving the door open. If they can get used to the catio on their own terms, perhaps they’ll use it occasionally. They’ll need someplace dry wherever it rains. Perhaps consider creating a bench enclosure where they can huddle in colder weather. My neighbor does this for his cat and uses an infrared heater in the winter. His cat loves it so much he lays on his back and stretches out completely like he’s sunbathing. 😽
A lot of positive news in this episode!! Great to hear the kitties stuck around and that your renovation is finally getting started! Looking forward to the next one :)
Awe. So happy your kitties came back to you. ❤❤ Hope you see momma soon. 😢And more excited roof work coming soon too. Love watching you two kind hearted souls 🙏 Stay safe and we all love you 💯💯🫶🫶🤗🤗🤗🐈🐈⬛🐕
Never gets old the feeling I get the moment one of my foster cats connect with me. It takes patience and I have found food is a great way to win there trust and acceptance ❤
You kitties are so sweet! Cats choose their owners. Since you have provided food and shelter for them, you have welcomed them to your home. I have adopted 3 cats inside, but we had adopted another cat that decided that he didn't want to be inside. He is outside with a few other feral cats. We provide individual bed boxes for them, food and water and a sheltered area for the cold, windy winters. They wait for their breakfast and some live, but I can't leave the food out at night. It attracts raccoons, skunks and roaches, so we take the food in at night.
My Goodness, you guys got the best cats. Tough and smart and they will get all the mice and who know what else! No-one is going to mess with them. They are just off exploring the area. They know your guys are the best!
So sorry the catopia didn’t work out after all of your hard work Drew. Praying your other kitty comes back. 🙏 Soooo excited that work has started on your roof!! Can’t wait to see what gets done by next week. Love from Mary in SoOC. 💗🤗
So glad the kitties came back. They were just doing what they did in there old home. You two will do good with having fur babies. There are no one book on how to raise them. You did all the right things. I love kitties and you will too. Good luck on getting the start of your home. Can’t wait to see it start. Blessings on your journey ❤️🙏🏻❤️
For some of us, not getting emotionally invested when it comes to other creatures, is impossible. We have empathy……..my heart aches for so many. It’s why we’ve decided to always adopt from shelters. Sadly, our shelters here in New Mexico are over flowing with amazing doggies and kitties who need forever homes🧡. It’s so wonderful that these kind humans feed all the “wild” kitties🧡. Are those handlebars on the scooter not adjustable? “You were making it hot”……Aaaawwwwww🧡
I so enjoyed this. There is a group of feral cats that have lived under a shed in the lot behind my fenced in yard for 8 years. I have built winterized houses for them with escape doors but they will NOT enter. They come to my patio for food if they don't see me looking out the window. Trust the cats that they will be fine unless there are predators. Looks like they have learned that they are free and in a safe and caring atmosphere. Lovely prior owners!!!! How kind.
The same thing happened to me. I took in my best friends 30 cats. She paid for the pen. But, my husband would not listen to me. He insisted we get the wire fencing that was 5in by 5in opening. The one they use for cows. The cats were out of it within 2 hours. We went back to the store and bought the fencing i had picked out. They all came back. I kept them in the large pen for 2 monthes and let them out.
We’re coming to Lisbon on October 21st! Watching your videos got us hooked on Portugal! Food ideas would be appreciated! We are seniors (76 & 77 yrs.) love you found the cats! ❤️🇨🇦
Only thing I would do is provide them with a collar and silent/quiet tag with your address/phone.
That way if someone finds them, they don't think they don't have a home.
Make sure tag is quiet so they can roam around and hunt.

Oh… I’m so so glad they came back!!!!! YAY !!!!!!
The cats getting out, made me so sad, but when they came back for feeding it made me happy.
Have a sweet bell when ever you’re getting ready to put food out, that way they can have a communication sound that they can easily adapt.
Best wishes with these 🐈 cats😊
So happy the kitties stuck around and are gaining trust!
Sleep in the catio with mosquito netting
Good! I was afraid to watch! ❤
@@karrelbuck I was thinking the same thing
Drew- get Brittany a UV flashlight. We used them living in SoCal to see critters at night. Scorpions light up awesomely well at night when the uv light shines on them - so you can see them !
Brittany you are so kind hearted. All will turn out well, dont worry 😊
So happy two kitties came back
Thank you for sharing 😁
brittany is such a kind soul
As are youuu 🙏❤️😽
She sure is .. and Drew as well 👌
❤❤❤❤
😻😻😻
And Drew too.
That structure would make a wonderful chicken coup! The kitties will be coming and going as long as you feed them and will slowly warm up to you and stay. They will love you!
Kitties are most active at dusk and at dawn. That's the best time to interact with them. Other than that, they're just sleeping somewhere and don't want to be bothered. Good luck! Love conquers all!
You are on point with your comment. That’s exactly how it seems 🐈 🍽️
Happy about the kitties coming “home”. You have such patience!
Anyone that loves animals and tries to help them, is awesome to me. ❤❤❤
😽😽😽

Listen…..don’t ever fault yourselves over what is not known. Your intent seems to always be out of love and kindness and that’s what really counts. So happy things are working out and your getting your roof started. How exciting! Blessings to your family fur babies and all. 🙏🏽❤️🐾
We appreciate you recognizing that ❤️

Appreciate your wam comment! 🙏 We put a lot of thought into the idea of adopting them and then building the catio. We have slowly been gaining their trust. The food really helps. 🐈
SO FUN !!! To hear you both speak Portuguese. You always make is sound like you are really bad at it. That was PRETTY DANG GOOD.

Brittany and Drew are such beautiful people inside and out, I was very impressed with Britanys Portuguese, ❤
I’m glad 2 out of the 3 kitties came back. Hopefully she will come back too🤞🏼. I’m very excited to see next week’s video. It’s great to see progress on the Watermill.
😽🙏💕
Soooo happy the kitties stuck around and you’re able to love on them and know they’re safe. ❤️🙌🏼❤️ Stay cool and safe out there!! Excited for all of the progress to come! 🎉
Yea two kitties are back! It would be ideal to have each of them implanted with a *cat GPS chip.* You’re going to be terribly broken hearted the day one of them doesn’t return so please consider the implant or a quiet tracking collar for peace of mind. Thanks to your kind hearts they’ll probably stick around but at least if one gets injured then you’ll know where to find him/her. 😻

maybe you could spread a tarp or some thing just above your camper roof to help keep the heat from your roof. or maybe putting some insulation on the roof to try to help
I love seeing the cats. Seems they intend to stick around on their terms…lol. That’s okay.
Agreed 😽💕
Seeing you finallly getting to pet the kitties made me cry with happiness😢❤
❤
Glad that two of the cats returned. Just keep leaving food close to your van and try to be close to them even if they dont let you touch them. It's not easy to earn they trust but you had to be pacient.🤞 By the way, I'm impressed with your portuguese. Not only the pronunciation but you understand extremely well when someone is speaking portuguese. Congrats 👏
I've lived in Portugal twice in my life xxx SO many stray cats n packs of dogs in the mountains when I was there anyway xxx The Cats will be okay 👍
Awhh…so happy to see the two kitties are gaining your trust. Such a very sweet episode. You two are beautiful souls.
So happy the two younger cats reappeared and want to be your pets. As your friends had been feeding them from young kittens they are probably more socialised than mum. Your patience is rewarded. I think you might be surprised how much affection and attention they will give you, they already seem to trust you.❤❤❤
They're exploring their new surroundings. All change takes some adjustments. Good luck.
So precious..I hope the mama shows up ..❤😎
Update next week 😽😉❤️

My two puppies came running over when they heard the kitties 😸😸😸 You will have the best entertainment with the kitties. So happy they like their new home. Thinking of you all from Austin, TX
So happy they cats came back❤
The catio would possibly work as an AirBNB, or chicken coop!
A cat can go out? So a fox can go in!
So glad kitties came back 🥰❤
Keep spoiling them with treats, and love! Love conquers all!
GOD LOVES YOU & SO DO I
I am so glad that 2 of the cats stuck around! ❤
So happy. The kitties stayed. One big happy family
Another thing you could have done was have tuna cans. For hungry cats there is nothing better.
Regarding your roof, I have a metal roof which is fireproof/ resistant that is structurally stronger than a wood or asphalt roof. It would be cost effective and less problematic than adding a concrete roof. Something I would look into before committing to concrete roof.

So happy kitties are back hopefully nuno will show up ❤
So happy the two babies are sticking around! Crossing my fingers for momma cat.💚
Have you wondered about herding cats?
For wild animals, you are doing good at making friends with the kittens. I would try to think of them as working animals that come and go as they please.

She seems most interested in that concept. Hope mommy is just living off the land and being the working cat 🐈 that she is.
I'm so happy for you that at least 2 of them trust you right now. I hope the 3rd one returns also. Thank you for sharing your continuous updates. ❤
😻😻😻 a happy ending with the cats!! I am so happy. Maybe Mama cat will show up some day? Take care! ❤️
I am so happy your furry friends came back...I truly hope you fix those kitties before is too late!!
Oh so hoping Minut is ok!
Ahhhhh so happy for you that the kittens came back.🎉 Hoping the mama cat will also reappear...I was sitting in awe seeing them gaining trust. So awesome to be able to love a pet. I had a Siamese cat that followed me all over, and even lay beside me while I was busy in the garden. And to top it he was a talker, like your grey one😂 . Sadly he passed away.

They can also be very defending over their territory.
Glad the kittys came back. And the roof work is starting. What kind souls you to have. 😊❤
You made the hook up now. They will hang around. Might miss a day or two but soon they will be under foot for everything you're doing. My guess is they will be bringing you hunting presents by the fall. Question, do you guys have any trees large enough for hammocks down near your pond? They make camping/hiking hammocks with bug netting. Comfy to sleep in and might be cooler on those hot evenings/nights. Glad to see the project moving forward. Good luck and thanks for all your time.
So happy to see the cats. Was hoping they'd stick around. I can't wait to see the transformation of your home. So exciting!!!
So glad you guys managed to win the cats trust, awesome.😘
If they roll in front of you that’s definitely a good sign!!

I’m so glad your kitties came back😊
How exciting your cats are home safe 👍🏽 the third cat will come back , your roof awesome 👏🏽👏🏽
Needed to to screen in the 4th side! As the owner of 8 different cats (actually they owned me, lol) in my life, I saw this coming a mile away! I understand! Cats are food driven and need playtime! Still great progress on the homestead!
Hi! Your Portuguese is really coming along. Well done, guys! Muito bem, mesmo! Beijinhos,Ana
They are getting used to you ❤ see they wanna love you ❤
Have you secured the back wall of the catio completely so the escape route is closed? Please consider putting their food & water in the enclosure and leaving the door open. If they can get used to the catio on their own terms, perhaps they’ll use it occasionally. They’ll need someplace dry wherever it rains. Perhaps consider creating a bench enclosure where they can huddle in colder weather. My neighbor does this for his cat and uses an infrared heater in the winter. His cat loves it so much he lays on his back and stretches out completely like he’s sunbathing. 😽
A lot of positive news in this episode!! Great to hear the kitties stuck around and that your renovation is finally getting started! Looking forward to the next one :)
You two are so sweet
So happy work is starting on your home
Letting you pet the tummy, huge trust.👍
Awe. So happy your kitties came back to you. ❤❤ Hope you see momma soon. 😢And more excited roof work coming soon too. Love watching you two kind hearted souls 🙏 Stay safe and we all love you 💯💯🫶🫶🤗🤗🤗🐈🐈⬛🐕
Never gets old the feeling I get the moment one of my foster cats connect with me. It takes patience and I have found food is a great way to win there trust and acceptance ❤
So glad the cats came back, I hope you find momma cat too!
So happy to see the cats come home 🥰
You kitties are so sweet! Cats choose their owners. Since you have provided food and shelter for them, you have welcomed them to your home. I have adopted 3 cats inside, but we had adopted another cat that decided that he didn't want to be inside. He is outside with a few other feral cats. We provide individual bed boxes for them, food and water and a sheltered area for the cold, windy winters. They wait for their breakfast and some live, but I can't leave the food out at night. It attracts raccoons, skunks and roaches, so we take the food in at night.
That makes me happy I have tears in my eyes when I saw the kitties come back😅😊❤
2 out of 3😍😍😍
My Goodness, you guys got the best cats. Tough and smart and they will get all the mice and who know what else! No-one is going to mess with them. They are just off exploring the area. They know your guys are the best!
So sorry the catopia didn’t work out after all of your hard work Drew. Praying your other kitty comes back. 🙏
Soooo excited that work has started on your roof!! Can’t wait to see what gets done by next week.
Love from Mary in SoOC. 💗🤗
Do you guys have a mailing address in Portugal yet where fans can send you things? Nice job guys :)
So glad the kitties came back. They were just doing what they did in there old home.
You two will do good with having fur babies. There are no one book on how to raise them. You did all the right things. I love kitties and you will too.
Good luck on getting the start of your home. Can’t wait to see it start. Blessings on your journey ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Amazing they came back!
For some of us, not getting emotionally invested when it comes to other creatures, is impossible. We have empathy……..my heart aches for so many. It’s why we’ve decided to always adopt from shelters. Sadly, our shelters here in New Mexico are over flowing with amazing doggies and kitties who need forever homes🧡. It’s so wonderful that these kind humans feed all the “wild” kitties🧡.
Are those handlebars on the scooter not adjustable?
“You were making it hot”……Aaaawwwwww🧡
I so enjoyed this. There is a group of feral cats that have lived under a shed in the lot behind my fenced in yard for 8 years. I have built winterized houses for them with escape doors but they will NOT enter. They come to my patio for food if they don't see me looking out the window. Trust the cats that they will be fine unless there are predators. Looks like they have learned that they are free and in a safe and caring atmosphere. Lovely prior owners!!!! How kind.
The same thing happened to me. I took in my best friends 30 cats. She paid for the pen. But, my husband would not listen to me. He insisted we get the wire fencing that was 5in by 5in opening. The one they use for cows. The cats were out of it within 2 hours. We went back to the store and bought the fencing i had picked out. They all came back. I kept them in the large pen for 2 monthes and let them out.
We’re coming to Lisbon on October 21st! Watching your videos got us hooked on Portugal! Food ideas would be appreciated! We are seniors (76 & 77 yrs.) love you found the cats!
