Street Cat Rescue: Fetty + Storm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- These two street kittens were already past the socialization window, but a serious upper respiratory and eye infection moved Fetty up to the front of the rescue line. And he didn't go anywhere without sister Storm, his protector and guardian! It can feel so overwhelming to be a new rescuer and TNR volunteer - where to start when you see cats everywhere? This was our experience in 2017, and we had no other help or volunteers. It was actually you - our supporters from around the world - who helped us get through a string of very expensive medical situations and inspired us to keep pushing. I hope you enjoy their story, because you are part of it. Stay tuned for part 2 later this year.

hey flatbush pro cat rescue
Thank you guys for your work, brings tears to my eyes
I'm so happy they were adopted together.
Those are some nice cats.
I like Storm better though.
You're doing God's own work there my friend 🙏 👌 It struck me that if you were in any Commonwealth country, you would have some letters after your name by this point in time, or at the very least some kind of Royal recognition Keep up the amazing work 💪😊
Flatbush cats: These kittens are too old and past the socialisation window.
Flatbush cats: [domesticates them anyway]
Flatbush cats too wholesome for this world.
Flatbush cats treat their rescue like a decent human, that's why most of the time, they can make a feral cat into a fatto catto.
Never assume you can do what they did with all kittens. It's just not so. A small percentage you can. The rest want to be feral and free.
@@Joel-bj8om NO not most of the time. You assume all cats or kittens are salvageable. They are not.
@@mircat28 They don't "want" to be feral and "free". It's just that many past a certain age cannot be socialized. But some can. Three of my cats were thoroughly feral but I was able to tame them. And they were already adults. It does happen, but it's not to be expected.
@@mircat28 if you watch Tiny Kittens, they are constant taming ferals. Adults, not just kittens. A lot more of them can be tamed than most people realize.
Storm: Following you into the trap is the best choice I've ever made.
Fetty: Meow.
OMGOSH YES! I think she would SO say that!
👍👍
I think it was Fetty who followed Storm in there. As he had no eyesight, his sister was his seeing eyes which was why they were always side by side.
0:20 This is the reason why i stop jogging outside and choose to buy a treadmill. Once i go outside, and start looking, there always many more of them. Believe it or not, thats how i get my 5 cats. Rescued them from the street while doing Sunday morning jog. Everytime i jog, i always bring 1kg of dryfood in a jar and come back home empty
You've got a heart of gold
😽🐾💫same here.
I know what your doing is good for those cats, but if they aren’t spayed or neutered, it’s best not to, you don’t want more kittens that will eventually die, or live sick, it’s sad, but we need to end this cycle.
Awe I wish you wouldn't give up helping them, but I know it is a difficult situation. I know you care though. I kinda think people with a lot of money should be doing more to help this problem everywhere. And it's sadly is the whole world now. ✌💙🐈
Wonderful
I’m glad you caught them together.
Like honestly, thank God, right? He did his thing with the best of intentions & the universe did the rest.
👍👍
how about the mommy and sibling, my english bad i dont understand 60% he talk abt
@@zevancc8777 they are at an age where the mom doesnt want her kitten with her and kicks them out, and the other kitten often just go seperate ways
@@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 aww
My girl lily was dumped at 3 months old. My brother in law found her outside his work terrified and starving. She knew how to use a litter box which is even more sad because that told us she was definitely dumped. We got her fixed up and got her some food, and I fell in love right away. She’s two years old now and is an absolute little love bug.
Thanks
So glad you found Lilly!!
All four of ours were dumps. It sucks, since there is a No Kill Shelter 5 miles down the road.
@@showmemo3686 people can be so damn Cruel
sweet lily
Flatbush cats is hands down my favourite cat stuff on youtube. From knowing 100% that it's not fake, from the lovely videos, calming presence of the narrator/owner of the channel, to the cool music and tips on handling cats to, most importantly, the focus on trap, neuter, return being THE way to reduce cat suffering in the world.
Just wish there were more videos! Keep up the great work! :)
Love Kritter Klub too
I moved into the Flatbush neighborhood in 2012 and I immediately noticed how many strays there are here - there is/was a colony living outside above the station platform at my subway stop, and almost every corner shop has a cat of their own. I'm so glad they're providing this badly-needed service here!
You might like Hope for Paws (on TH-cam). They rescue dogs, cats, & any animal that needs help in LA.
Then there's Kitten Lady (another channel). She rescues kittens & does tnr.
These guys are amazing without doubt but my favourite cat channel is Walter Santi
@@Janaale i like Walter Santi :)
With all the work you do for the kitties in your community, I know it must be difficult to find the time to produce a video. That makes this video even more special. Thank you so very much
👍🏻
I'm so glad they've been adopted together.
Me, two! I have an 8 year old brother-sister pair (rehomed 3 1/2 years ago when their owner left Korea). I am so glad I was able to keep them together as they are so bonded. They eat, play, groom and sleep together. I’d say they are together 22-23/7. As I’m an expat and travel frequently, I know they take care of each other when I leave them to a cat sitter!
Yeah, bonded cats are bought/adopted together. They get depressed otherwise.
Yes, I liked this before I watched it. Because I know that I'm going to like it after I watch it. I love Flatbush cats.
And I was not disappointed. Those are two lucky cats, and storm looks just like her mom. Amazing really. Even if it's just one cat that you help, you can see the impact that help has on that one cat's life.
I'm the same
I do that with most channels who I'm happy to support, the video could suck, I'll still be clicking like.
if you want to help a channel out but can't do the membership thing, dropping a comment and liking the comments of others will boost their audience interaction metrics in the all powerful algorithm.
I found a sick cat my garage over New Years and fostered him back to health. This was my first time fostering and it was difficult to say goodbye but I knew it was the right thing to do for him to thrive as the only animal.
Did you put him back on the streets?
@@leopardprint2860 Probably not, fostering is nursing a kitten (kittens) to health and having them adopted out.
Diminishing health and eyesight prevents me from doing as many rescues as I used to. However, I still feed and provide as much veterinary care as I can to neighborhood cats. I join the chorus of, "Thank you" for all you do, and, for sharing these heartening stories.
thank you for your compassion, if everyone did just their little piece we could prevent so much needless suffering
@@thesummerland6165 Wouldn't that be a wonderful world. Thanks for your response.
May you be blessed
@@tingmeekiaw1313 Thank you for the kind thoughts. Blessings to you also.
I swear I love you guys!
Once storm saw her brother was being cared for she stopped resistance.
It's always amazing to see a cat who is scared and alone come around to be so friendly and playful in the end. Your work is amazing, and I am proud to support it. Keep up the good work!
Reading the comments makes my day. There are so many lovely people here and I think there is hope for our future. Thank you all!
True that ❤
💯💯💯
❤❤
Right back at you Loredana!
In a world gone mad, this video is an oasis of sanity.
Love conquers all...i socialized 3 feral adult cats with love, patience and FOOD...they turned out to be mush balls...and I gave them permanent homes...my husband and I found homes for 18 cats that came into our lives and they lived happily after...
Thanks for the good work of your heart and hands...God bless
Helping one animal might not change the world, but it makes a world of difference for that animal
You all are saints!! I adore all of you "Flatbush Cats" (people & cats) and donate to you whenever I can. Money well spent!!!!
Y’all have inspired me to foster when I have the means. I’ve had rescue cats all my life. My current cat we got off the street many years ago and he’s an old boy now. I’m so glad to have given him a home and love, he’s given 1000x more love back. What you’re doing is so special
Me too. Right now I'm in college. I have 1 cat but when I have more money and more space, I'm going to foster cats like these and give them a second chance at life
Likewise! I am currently in a two bedroom flat with two cats but once I can upgrade my living space I want a foster cat room!
My youngest cat (9 months) was found in an alleyway as a kitten and it's taken us many months to socialise her and she still doesn't like touching
My buddy found his cat in a garbage bin outside a McDonald's with a box of fries on his head, he took him home washed him up and 11 years later they're still best buds who are never apart for more than a few hours.
😄😄😄
@@pan-semitistcommunist4181 did you name him cheeseburger
So glad they were adopted together! Thanks for all your hard work.
I donate monthly and although I don't have much and am a senior, I will be making a small trust and naming Flatbush as one of the beneficiaries for all you do for these poor cats, thank you
I love Fetty's crooked grin at 6:57 while he's floppoed back in his new Mum's pillow, tummy up. Such a soft, sweet lil nutter kitty.
Thank you so much
Awwww, look at himbs making those half-blind biscuits. Adorable.
I don’t know what we, as humans, did to deserve such sweet and innocent creatures in our lives, but it’s certainly not enough, no where close to paying back their love and affection.
Our Precious Creator knew we'd need some unconditional love to see us through all of our rough patches as well as loving companions to share our moments of joy. A full bowl, a clean box, & a comfy bed to snuggle with us in is really all they ask in return. Those who don't want to share their lives with these littlest angels have absolutely no clue what they're missing.
Blind cats usually have a partner cat that they have with them. It's important they remain together, even if the sight is restored. Shadow, a cat with similar eye eyes, always had another cat, Ascott, follow him around. In fact, during a winter storm, they came into the house, guided by Ascott, instead of remaining outside. When the house had to be sold, the two were separated and Shadow's eyesight was restored, which stressed him out and turned the older cat into something else. Sadly, he escaped the home he was adopted to. This was over 9 years ago, and I'd like to believe Shadow lived a good life.
As for Ascott, his guide cat? He's 16 years old and on my lap. Shadow was adopted before I got to the facility, and I had intended to bring them both home, but he's adapted to just having a house to himself.
Imagine this entire comment filled with thumbs up and love. You guys do great work that is needed for loving souls.
Quality humans for quality felines, all is well.
I'm feeding 4 cats but can't trap, neuter or return because of management. I'm not supposed to feed them, but I'm not letting them starve. Now summer is coming in the desert, so lots of water and I bought an umbrella for shade on my patio. It's the best I can do.
Bless you SUSAN
Can you contact an animal rescue organisation to approach the managers to allow one or more of their members to TNR if not back to your workplace, then to foster care, or become barn cats? Rescue organisations can partner together using the internet (using Google, Facebook, Instagram, phone calls, text messages, word of mouth) to bring the cats out of that situation. With great logistics, confidence (and prayer!), you can ensure a happy or at least, satisfactory ending. Good luck.
When Flatbush Cats Post: 🏃♀️🏃♀️
when i'm watching your videos it reminds me that there is still good people in this world
It’s so… *calming* to see that more people like you exist in the world.
Todos ustedes son unas personas hermosas y generosas
Gracias por dar ejemplo d compasion
I rescued a small cat family - got 3 , but one never returned. They are doing OK !💖
Glad they got adopted together, sisters have to stay together!
**I LOVE YOU, GUYS!! **ANGELS OF MERCY**
Tank you Flatbush Cats
..
I gotta say, you have a genuine voice for these videos.
It makes viewers emphatize more with the cause than others, who does this kind of charity, and that goes to the hearts and minds of viewers.
BIGGEST grin on my face right now, knowing they got to be adopted out together. LOVE!
Thank you for treating a cat with bad eyesight.
I am so glad they went to their forever home together!
Thank you for being amazing!
WHAT A LOVELY MAN AND HIS VOLUNTEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom cat is so pretty. No doubt she would have been adopted had she been able to be socialized. Poor thing.
I love it when images from their permanent home are shown. Definitely makes leaving their wonderful foster home seem more sweet than bitter.
So glad they went from feral to lap cats
Their momma's little eye blink at the end.... what a sweetheart.
These videos are good for the soul. Thankyou for all that you do for these adorable intelligent beings. Xx
I originally looked at getting a cat from a breeder because I thought it would be nice to have one of those popular ragdoll cats. But after learning more about rescuing from organizations like Flatbush, I adopted my rescue, with her herpes and crooked tail, and I love her more then anything!! I'm so glad I came across Flatbush Cats and all the amazing work they do
Nothing but cat smiles, thanks guys
Found 2 kitten under a big old truck was searching after them cuz we were trying to help a driven over cat mom and found out later that she had kittens searched 4days for them , the one who drove over the cat mom did not even stopped to look after her, but the one thing that impressed me was that the cat mom did not run back to the kittens but away to not show or lure others (us) to the kittens. Sadly the cat mom did not make it in time when we arrived at the pet doctor
your videos always mnake cry
the double burrito 💙
the helper kitten always by the sick one's side 💙💙💙
them getting adopted 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Loved, cried. Thank you.
I sincerely believe that there are NO feral cats...they need to experience LOVE SWEET LOVE!
This channel was part of the inspiration behind me feeding a stray singleton kitten in my yard since last august, and this january before the worst of winter could hit, we finally trapped her. I thought she might not socialize or adapt, but within a day she was a total lap cat and she got a double negative for FIV after a false positive, so as of two weeks ago, she's out of quarantine! She's about 10 months old now, and named Baby. Just this week she discovered the magic of cuddling and now takes them by force. Between you and Kitten Lady i learned so much about socializing feral cats and trapping and I wouldn't have been able to rehabilitate her the way I did without the knowledge you share. Thank you!
Thank you for the work that you do. Greetings from Ireland.
Fetty looks like he is always winking 😉 love ❤️ it. Blessings and Peace ❤️✝️
All kitties are a blessing. We need more caring people.😍😍😍😍
Thanks life for persons like you existing. You´re a true gift for society.
Beautiful pirate kitty! Hope he and his sister have the best life!
Fetty and Storm are so cute! Love what you’re all doing, thank you for helping all these kitties in need 😸
Angel's have a way of finding each other! Thank you for being these Angel's Angel.💜💜💜😻
It makes me cry so much for all the cats that can't be helped
Fetty is an excellent name for a cat with one eye
Videos, like these, keep me giving monthly. I know my funds are going to good use.
I love your videos. Each one is like a mini documentary. Your commentary really enhances the experience too. Thank you for the work you do!
Storm wanting your pets while you were typing was so cute :)
Fetty and storm adjusted extremely quick to the good life.
My cat and I, both one-eyed :-), thank you.
“How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”
Thanks for all your loving patience, and all you do for community cats. These two beautiful cats are powerful advertisers for TRN. Kudos to the eye surgeon, Fetty's looks so handsome! My feral took three months to learn how to trust, then play (what a magical day that was). Well worth the effort, even if it takes three years!
Oh, that's great. These two really beautiful cats are Brother and Sister and they should never be separated ❤ It warms my heart that they were both adopted together, never to have to live on the streets again. Thank you, thank you for saving these two precious little cats. Thank you, Flatbush Cats, for all the wonderful work you do for these sweet little furr-babies who live on the streets 😀 😊 ☺ 🙂 ❤
Guys, you are amazing ! Thank you so much. Blessings 🌷🌷🌷🙏🙏🙏👩👨💕💕💕😻😻
It's sad that so many cats get eye issues (or even blindness) when a simple antibiotic could have cured them.
These two kittens purrsonify true happiness. Thank you for what you do for them.
Bless ALL ANIMALS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i am so happy every time i see ur videos!!! because i neuter many cats in Alicante, and Altea, in 🇪🇸 Spain, i support some cat associations and i do it also my self, i have two cat colonies as well that i feed and neuter when a new cat arrives, at the moment all are neutered! i trap also manually because i can select the cats, thank you for showing our work that many people never see!!! you are THE CAT ANGELS FROM BROOKLYN ❤️😻❤️😻 Universe bless you!!!!
I love cats so much
Fatty's smile is priceless ❤❤❤😍😍😍 Thank you for your dedication to these kitties!
I wish I had the heart to foster cats when I am have the resources, but I just get too attached to my pets, I wouldn't want to let go of a poor kitten that I took home and loved for months and trust another person for its safety. I adopted Taliyah, my newest pet, 2 years ago after finding her on a fast food joint looking for food in trash cans and nowadays she is super obsessive over me, she cries when I am not there, and always looks out for me when I am doing housework.
I really appreciate what you guys do because street cats (and abandoned/feral domestic animals in general) are a huge issue. Thanks for keeping them alive and healthy and having the heart to give these animals second chances when many others would not.
You get desensitized. The first time is hard, but it gets better. Remind yourself that you can't keep 10+ cats in your home and they're better off adopted in another with more space.
Don't let your ego get in the way. You are not the only one who can love a cat. There are lots of people ready to pick up where you leave off and become the forever home. And after they do, you can save another life. There is ALWAYS another little soul waiting its turn to come in.
@@mircat28 More than ego is just personal distrust for people, people put cats in the street, and people adopt them too, it's hard to distinguish actual genuine people from weirdos making an act or not taking stuff seriously. But you are right about the last part, as long as people have homes there will be pets ready to be taken in and cared for, I just wish I had more trust in people.
@@ayanp353 Yeah, currently I just keep 3 but you are right, thing is when it comes to people that want to adopt, I am not very welcoming to any, Taliyah came from a family in which one of the members was (allegedly) a veterinary and the family had so many malnourished cats, the vet instead of spaying them (allegedly) killed them, as a neighbor of mine told me that Taliyah's kitten brothers and sisters suddenly disappeared, and said family wasn't into giving the cats for adoption either, I got disgusted when I heard about it.
😼😼😼🌟
These videos inspire me to devote my life to cat rescue when I’m older.
Your videos inspired me to try to start helping feral cats in my neighborhood! I talked to my neighbors in my apartment building and we're going to try TNR on the cat colony in an abandoned building near us. We've partnered with the local animal shelter and we're hoping to make a dent in kitten season. Thank you! And wish us luck!
What a nice pair of cats
Lovely Storm helping her brother.
It takes a special person, two in your case to help the helpless kitties out there and without you guys, they have no hope! Thank you , thank you, I love this story; especially, they are adopted out together!! Blessings to you! 😻😻💕🌹
Thank goodness nobody told _these two_ about that socialization window ;) Way to go Flatbush Cats, another two off the street and into the highlife .
My black kitty Roo roo was from a feral black cat colony of Washington dc , there where about 16 black cats and some greys my roommate at the time loved kitties and we decided to ban together with alley cat allies and help their TNR program by feeding and making winter shelters for the feral in out alley. over time of feeding some of the feral would let us even touch them! Then spring came and kitten season started , we fostered many litters and even decided to adopt , My roommate adopted 2 black kittens named them Bast and Lithi and I adopted the small black Runt kitten and named him Roo roo. Roo roo was special boy he was with me for 16 years he just passed away last spring He lived a long happy life and died peacefully at home with me next to him. I am so grateful for TNR programs . They are ease to get involved in and they always need volunteers so if you love cast its a great way to do amazing work to help these magnificent creatures!
Fetty is a little bread baker :) and Storm is just a little,love bug…. Too cute!!!!
Thank you💫🐾😽
Thank you from my Heart. For saving Storm and
Betty. I hope that they will always be together in a Happy and Safe
Home that they
DESERVE, Amen.
God bless you!
I have two 1-eyed cats...both rescues. Great wee friends.
How Beautiful, his sister was his guardian when he could not see. The bond between them was evidently so strong, there is a lesson there for all of us. So glad of the happy ending for these two precious Baby`s 😻🥰
Such a gem of a fellow who loves felines Im thankful for he and his wife
I love you two so much. I don’t know how you have the strength of heart to rescue and bind then let go. But I’m so grateful that there are folk like y’all who have the emotional fortitude to do what you do.
I live on about 3 acres out of town and people dump cats out here. I am now feeding two cats and have made a shelter for them on the patio. There is a pasture behind our back yard fence so the cats have a nice place to explore. My neighbor feeds a few dumped cats and the other neighbor traps cats and has them neutered or spayed and also feeds them. I love watching Flatbush Cats videos and admire the work being done and also contribute.
Fetty has the most beautiful markings.
I feel like a kid on Christmas every time Flatbush Cats release a new video! -L❤️ve the work you do!
I just went through this with a Mom, Dad and two kittens. No local TNR groups, no SNAP monies, so all vet bills are out of my pocket.
All came back clean for FeVL and FIV, kittens had worms and fleas. The Mom extra spicy, wasn't in good physical health, and blood work came back she had 4-5 different parasites, very anemic and pregnant again. Dad was previously owned by someone (not aggressive) and dumped.
I've gone from having two cats to 6, Mom in one bathroom until her blood work comes back clean, with Dad and the two kittens in a spare bedroom.
I planned on keeping the kittens. I don't want the parents back outside where they'll be harmed, so we're going to give this a shot. I suck at fostering.
Thank you for saving so many cats.
