we had a feral black cat around work. I adopted him years ago. Told the wife she wouldn't even be able to touch. Took 2 of us in full battle gear to get him caged to go to vet. Brought him home. came out walked thru hall way and did figure 8 around wife's feet and then jumped on her lap. Only comment was " I thought you said he was mean". Passed away 2 years ago after 14 years with us.
Kittens that have the most attitude when rescued often end up being the most loving, loyal, and affectionate cats when you finally gain their trust. Spirit and character makes them all the more memorable.
@@magiv4205 well cats, just like humans, are unpredictable The same way humans can grow up to 80 years, many of us die from diseases and natural causes
I surrendered feral kittens to the humane society after socializing them for three weeks. They were like these kittens when I started, around 5 weeks old. They were adopted in under a week.
Listening to her voice alone made me relax lol, she's so gentle, patient and and loving you can tell this woman has a beatiful, kind heart. These kittens are going to fall madly in love with her!
Had an abandoned Male cat come up to my ground level apartment window, when I opened it he just waltzed right in and snuggled as close to me as possible, purred like a maniac. Went out right away to grab him some food and ask my neighbours about him. Apparently he'd been abandoned by a previous tenant months ago and had been seen lurking around the apartment dumpsters. He was one of the kindest and cuddly cats I had ever met, found him a forever home after a few weeks. That cat inspired me to become a cat foster.
The little blonde kitty defending his siblings while slow-blinking at the lady is so cute. He’s like “I’ll scratch your eyes out if you come near me, but I still like you.”
I got a 1 day old kitten in 2012. His mom was very young, and she gave birth under a pallet in a friends machine shop. Mom just moved on. My friend knew I rescued and got the newborn to me. I had it in a small pouch that I basically took with me everywhere for the first 3-4 weeks so I could bottle feed him whenever he got hungry. He bonded very strongly to me. Still have him today. Gettin old, but still my special little buddy.
The one I got was about a week old, the eyes were open but just a very little bit. Bottle fed and stimulated for quite a while. Now he is my little buddy in every way. Yours is about 11 now, I am sure hopeful, and in the same breath dreading the day he gets that old. Pets never last as long as they should. God bless
Hahaha, one feral kitten gave me ringworm. He was very affectionate when we found him so it was all in my neck. Not the thing to have when you have to go to job interviews. Needless to say did not get the job but got an amazing cream that got rid of it. He was our cat for 18 years and we miss him badly!
Yea I had one right on my face (cheek). Like others I got it from the ggym I suspect, thankfully as said above, an easy to get script for a cream clears it up pretty quickly. Man I was so self conscious at work for those two weeks or so haha.
I know this was four years ago but I had to say you are a beautiful person for taking care of these beautiful baby's....I have two feral kittens I adopted two years ago and it is so amazing the different personalities they have....Mine have never hissed or tried to scratch but I guess they count me as one of the pack now.....I am retired/disabled and have always stayed with them 24/7 in the same room....I wake up in the morning and usually one is sitting on the window ledge right beside me and the other one is in my bed or the cat tree....I so wish I could take on two more but I'm really not supposed to have any in the apt. complex....If they ever say the cats have to go then we all go....Best friends are hard to find but I have two that we love very much....God Bless and good night...Our lives are so much more filled with joy when we share it with our animal friends....Thank you again for what you do.....
Divine Substance appropriately manifest safety, abundance, health, happiness, perfect homes, wealth, prosperity, love, fun, and what ever is needed or wanted for these people and their kitties here and now.

I found a little orange kitten in freezing weather just after Christmas. He'd been the most scared of the feral cats in my grandparents' barn, but he's turned out a beautiful playful cat.
makadeni123 Well yeah haha but just the idea of how he sees himself as the guardian and puts himself out there to try defend the others. He's just awesome.
+ Neon Ray Yeah, they're more than happy to delegate leadership duties to him while they take it easy & cat nap. But did you notice that once the food comes out, it's every kitten for themselves? That's one thing they're definitely not delegating! 😸
Barbara, it's been six years now … how did they turn out? They are gorgeous … would love to know a recent update! Thank you for sharing and saving these beautiful kittens !!!
I like your comment about the one which falls the hardest. I have three kittens I rescued recently. The snarliest, hissiest one is the most affectionate by far and is never far away from me. She's also the ones that comes to me 1st when called.
Pablo668 I'm a real crazy cat lady, my kits have a good home, but some people are seriously jealous of me and my kitties. My SHeena was catnapped by such a person caused me a real heartattack, if I locate her should I reclaim her, its been almost two years but I thought I saw her, she looked healthy and cared for.my heart broke again.should I reclaim her, would it confuse her?
I got my cat as a feral kitten at a friend of a friend's farm. Don't know what happened to her mommy or siblings- it was just her by herself, occasionally being fed by the farm-owners and then skittering off by herself again. I took her in as an indoor-only house-cat, and she's come a long ways. It actually took her two years to start purring like a regular house-cat! Like, she'd be happy and content, you could tell, but she'd never purr until recently. I worked very hard on her and she's just such a friendly, loving cat now. I mean, she was never a bad cat, just a skittish worry-wart cat with seperation anxiety, and is now a cat that curls up and sleeps with you at night and just starts purring the second you touch her. Some major things that worked on making her more friendly was; before touching her at ANY POINT, I'd *ALWAYS* ask permission. I'd let her smell my hand and if she retreated, I wouldn't touch her, or if she pushed into my hand, I'd pet her. If I was petting her and then she suddenly flinched or something, I'd always retreat my hand. If she peed where she wasn't suppose to, I woouldn't yell at her but show her to the kitty litter. And finally- I got put on anti-anxiety medication which turns out, my cat had anxiety because I had anxiety, and was learning it from me, so, my mellowing out made her mellow out. After that, she became a purr-machine. :>
KrissLucia she sounds awesome! Is she dating? Unlike other intolerant, biggoted, prejudiced, chauvinistic assholes. I'm PC, and learned at a young that if you don't date trans people, youre a transphob.
What a beautiful, kind lady. God bless you, and everyone who makes the world a better place by saving kitties. Well, all animals Thank you for sharing this with me.
Yes just looking at them makes me broody for more kittens I have one white cat called Jasper a rescue he loves us so much sleeps on the bottom of the bed He is so bright and intelligent 👌😂
Yes! God Bless that lady! Thank you for saving animals . For those of you who abuse , abandon or neglect an animal I just PRAY there is a special HELL for you . The beautiful ppl like this woman have surely earned their wings .
i would have laughed at you years ago for wearing Gloves for kittens, that was until a kitten smaller than them, bit be all the way through my finger. now i respect how hard a kitten can bite nevermind a cat.
Personally I wouldn't be worried about the teeth so much as about the claws. From my experience, an angry / scared cat can do way more damage with their claws than with their teeth.
Most people don't think kittens bite hard cause when they bite it hardly hurts. What they don't understand is that if it didn't hurt its only cause they didn't bite you, they were warning you. Its called getting nipped. If a kitten really felt in danger like it might lose it's life of get hurt it will hurt you. It won't just pat you with its soft padded digit toes, or touch you gently with the points of its teeth. In fact it will carve you up as best as it can, if it manages to pass by a vital line you may need to be rushed to a hospital before you bleed out. It also can easily pierce deep through human meat. Some kennel tech thought she's was some hot shit not wearing protective gear with the new feral kitten that just arrived. Told me and a few others to leave the room, that she was gonna grab the new kitten and didn't need us scaring it, that she knew what she was doing. 4 minutes later she's screaming and yelling for me to come back. Blood everywhere from the long deep scratches and she was bit on the thumb THROUGH THE NAIL. I immediately grabbed a towel threw it over Puffin the kitten and wrapped her up. Kendall tech was taken to the ER for stitches and to drain blood and pressure out of her nail. Don't sleep on kittens, you'll regret it.
Cats are funny...I had a feral cat that adopted us going on 10 years ago. She would let me pets her, but that was about it. I made her a 28 gallon insulated house with a heating pad for the winter(Arizona winter that is lol) and feed her twice a day for the last 10 years. 3 weeks ago I open the back door and she walked right in and has been there ever since. The other two cats and her get along great, like they've always been together. Today she was playing with one of the cat toys. She acts like she's never been an outdoor kitty now. She goes to the back door and meows if she wants to go out for a few minutes and meows to get back in. She uses the littler box too Amazing!
Their realising that humans are actually quite nice to baby kitties is lovely to see! For the first time since their mother vanished they're feeling safe, secure and provided for, all that baby kitties need. They'll go on to have loving families that will give them lovely lives. Which is exactly the way it should be.
almost all my cats I've had were feral or rescues never had to do anything like this at all , when starvation sets in a feral becomes desperate and usually seeks a human at least in my case . My last cat I found a year ago in a parking lot screaming his head off , scooped him up fed him , cleaned him up , he slept with me that night . The ferals tend to be obsessive with me , they get super jealous but he still loves to crawl up to my shoulder and cuddle like he did when he was a kitten . All my cats seem to know they hit the lotto .
If someone inexperienced is going to follow an example on how to deal with feral kittens, being really cautious like this video is certainly better than being not cautious enough and ending up bitten or badly scratched. Particularly if not familiar with body language and warning signs.
This woman has the best job in the world. I found this kitten when I went to the humane society, super super little, less than a month old. He was found in the middle of nowhere alone, no mom, siblings, nothing. They later found he had no scruff to subdue him, which the mother uses to carry them and control them. I adopted him the day after I found him. My girlfriend and I have decided that the mother abandoned him to look after the others, because he was so feisty and had no scruff. We'll never know for sure, but that's good enough for me. I saved him, and that brightens my day.
+Keyshell i know right she really does have the best job ever, def a dream job if there ever was one IMO. aww thats great you guys are awesome! reply to my comment & let me know, would you consider making & posting videos of his progress?
Well, kittens are usually in high demand because everyone wants to adopt a kitten instead of a cat--which is sad for cats, but good news for these little ones. I'd guess they all got adopted and hopefully all are still around.
thank you from one animal lover to another for saving these innocent creatures. I know it's a lot of hard work when you care so much and can't walk away from animals in need.
+117095605422411008673 When I was a kid I gave a kitten milk... Kitten drank it and you can guess what happened next... I thought they liked milk :/ Hey atleast I didn't gave kittens chocolate. God, I was so retarded...
Beautiful work! I've rescued, raised, adopted, and been adopted by a number of feral cats and kittens, and they can be a challenge. In every case, they were worth every second of it.
It sure does work. I took in two kittens apparently wild, not even 3 pounds, got hissed at for some day after they got fixed soon after, just kept feeding them frequent little meals and luring them to play and I have some awesome cats now.
As an individual person not associated with any organization I have worked with nearly two dozen feral born kittens ranging in age from as young as possibly 48 hours to as old as many weeks. All having been found near a big rig wash and rest lot. Having dealt with the tireless effort needed to tend to as many as three days old kittens requiring bottle feeding every two hours I can say that fostering even a single litter can be overwhelming even if they are of an age that feeding from a bottle is no longer needed, but to take on four litters is amazing. After nearly three years of tending to feral born and abandon kittens while routinely trapping and fixing adults in the area there hasn't been a litter found in over a year despite multiple instances of domesticated cats having been abondon by what I must assume was truckers who for whatever reason. Having been a die hard cat hater nearly a decade ago I admit my change has been as extreme as any of the cats I have taken in. It was a semi-feral elderly female I called Felix that changed me as I helped her after discovering her injured from a fight I assume with a dog when I came across her hiding under a bush in my front yard. It took well over a year, but I still recall the first time she followed me into my house most likely because she was just to old to want to deal with the Arizona summers outside. She passed away later that year but left an impact on me that lives on. It's in her honor I took to helping other cats in need.
I let the kittens get messy when eating on purpose because I think it encourages them to spend more time grooming themselves and each other. (If they have no mom around, I mean.)
That diluted calico is so pretty. I never knew what they were called. An auto shop here has one that wandered in as a stray. She’s the shop mascot. Very sweet.
The level of SQUEEEEEEEEEE in this video is off of the charts!!! I love all of these beautiful kitties, and thank you for all that you do for these beautiful kitties!!! The world needs more people like you!!!
The day before you published this I rescued three abandoned female kittens. They have now taken over my home, but my two older cats and I wouldn’t know what to do without them. I realized they need each other to feel safe, so this will be their forever home!
Had to add ... I was reading the comments, and I have to say that all of you people are just as beautiful as that woman for your compassion . Truly wonderful humans . Thank you all!
I have only had the honor of helping three fernal kittens, two of them I got to keep. The third went to a friend my mom worked with. Good Job. I didn't actually used food and a glove I put a pillow on my lap and petted them, until they relaxed.
They are so adorable!!! It reminds me when I rescued a momma kitty, and she had 6 litters. Two of them got adopted, and I have the four kittens right now. They are so precious. I kept the momma kitty too, and on top of that, I have 8 other kitties. They were all rescued from outside from different times.
Poor little orphan babies. I’ll bet their mom’s bardo is nearby, and very grateful to you, for picking up where she unfortunately had to leave off. I imagine she’s thanking you as she readies for her next existence. ❤️
Barbara, you are SOOOOO good with those cats! I hope you have some good support to help you with the food costs and care, and vet bills! I feed about 12-13 feral cats, 3 times a day, that are in the bushes at Home Depot in Lakewood Mall, and when I can get the mommies caught, I get them fixed and released back to their families! Keep up the excellent work and thanks for your help with the kittens!!!
A kitty story! 7 months ago I heard a kitten crying. I thought that maybe 'he' wanted to get out of his house. That sound was so sad; continuing into the early evening. He was in the area of a car engine! I knew the owner; he came out with his sons. They got the kitty out & they passed him to me. The wild, frightened critter clawed me & I let him go. I said 'thanks & goodnight' feeling sadder still. At around 12 a.m. he was in another vehicle; crying, awfully hungry, etc..@ 5 a.m.; same sounds & more sad feelings. I talked to him to keep him fighting! And he did. The 2nd vehicle left @ 9 a.m....Imagine how I felt then animal lovers. Then? A knock on my door at 4 p.m.; and there was my neighbor with a greasy, wild kitty [about 1 or 1 1/2 months old]! He feel asleep on my shoulder & after that? Some food/water and a bath . Now 'Mercedes' is one of the cutest kittens ever [aren't they all]? Yes, I kept him. [I have playlists]...
"Time" is the key to getting these cuties turned into playful little fur-balls of mischief. I want to see more of these cuties to see how tough they are now.

Kittens that have the most attitude when rescued often end up being the most loving, loyal, and affectionate cats when you finally gain their trust. Spirit and character makes them all the more memorable.
I think the shy cats can become just as loyal and affectionate toward their human, it's just not as obvious to other people.
Nah. It's nice to think about it like that, but no. Cats are cats.

i would have laughed at you years ago for wearing Gloves for kittens, that was until a kitten smaller than them, bit be all the way through my finger. now i respect how hard a kitten can bite nevermind a cat.
Personally I wouldn't be worried about the teeth so much as about the claws. From my experience, an angry / scared cat can do way more damage with their claws than with their teeth.
kitten teeth are like needles!
Kittens don’t mean to hurt anyone, but their little “milk teeth” are like needles. It’s wise to be careful around them! 😋💕🐈
Most people don't think kittens bite hard cause when they bite it hardly hurts. What they don't understand is that if it didn't hurt its only cause they didn't bite you, they were warning you. Its called getting nipped. If a kitten really felt in danger like it might lose it's life of get hurt it will hurt you. It won't just pat you with its soft padded digit toes, or touch you gently with the points of its teeth. In fact it will carve you up as best as it can, if it manages to pass by a vital line you may need to be rushed to a hospital before you bleed out. It also can easily pierce deep through human meat. Some kennel tech thought she's was some hot shit not wearing protective gear with the new feral kitten that just arrived. Told me and a few others to leave the room, that she was gonna grab the new kitten and didn't need us scaring it, that she knew what she was doing. 4 minutes later she's screaming and yelling for me to come back. Blood everywhere from the long deep scratches and she was bit on the thumb THROUGH THE NAIL. I immediately grabbed a towel threw it over Puffin the kitten and wrapped her up. Kendall tech was taken to the ER for stitches and to drain blood and pressure out of her nail.
Don't sleep on kittens, you'll regret it.
@@gmshadowtraders ooh edgy, i bet you have alot of friends.
These kittens are so pretty omfg
cousinira I love the hissy ginger boy and the Calico! 😍😍😍
Cats are funny...I had a feral cat that adopted us going on 10 years ago. She would let me pets her, but that was about it. I made her a 28 gallon insulated house with a heating pad for the winter(Arizona winter that is lol) and feed her twice a day for the last 10 years. 3 weeks ago I open the back door and she walked right in and has been there ever since. The other two cats and her get along great, like they've always been together. Today she was playing with one of the cat toys. She acts like she's never been an outdoor kitty now. She goes to the back door and meows if she wants to go out for a few minutes and meows to get back in. She uses the littler box too Amazing!

Cats
Their realising that humans are actually quite nice to baby kitties is lovely to see!
For the first time since their mother vanished they're feeling safe, secure and provided for, all that baby kitties need.
They'll go on to have loving families that will give them lovely lives.
Which is exactly the way it should be.
Ah yes .... kittens are designed to melt the hearts of cat professionals and we ordinary cat fans alike. So cute!!!
almost all my cats I've had were feral or rescues never had to do anything like this at all , when starvation sets in a feral becomes desperate and usually seeks a human at least in my case . My last cat I found a year ago in a parking lot screaming his head off , scooped him up fed him , cleaned him up , he slept with me that night . The ferals tend to be obsessive with me , they get super jealous but he still loves to crawl up to my shoulder and cuddle like he did when he was a kitten . All my cats seem to know they hit the lotto .
The Mad Viking agree so much with your statement. Not saying her method is bad. It seems great. I just seems a little bit over complicated to me...
If someone inexperienced is going to follow an example on how to deal with feral kittens, being really cautious like this video is certainly better than being not cautious enough and ending up bitten or badly scratched. Particularly if not familiar with body language and warning signs.
It helps to make sure they don't have worms, The vet should always check out abandoned pets in case of unknown injuries.
Maybe the cats know that vikings are suckers for a cute face. You are doing a good thing, dude. Keep scoopin' them up!!
Yeh you right them not feral to me
This woman has the best job in the world.
I found this kitten when I went to the humane society, super super little, less than a month old. He was found in the middle of nowhere alone, no mom, siblings, nothing. They later found he had no scruff to subdue him, which the mother uses to carry them and control them. I adopted him the day after I found him. My girlfriend and I have decided that the mother abandoned him to look after the others, because he was so feisty and had no scruff. We'll never know for sure, but that's good enough for me. I saved him, and that brightens my day.
+Keyshell i know right she really does have the best job ever, def a dream job if there ever was one IMO.
aww thats great you guys are awesome! reply to my comment & let me know, would you consider making & posting videos of his progress?
melleighxoxo If I had thought about that when I got him I definitely would have considered it. He's over a year old now though, basically grown up.
+Keyshell This kinda job can be pretty depressing sometimes, tho. But then again, I believe that is true for most jobs.
Adorable. God bless the people who rescue and help these babies find good homes.
I'd be very curious to know how they're doing today, in Dec 2019, 7 years later.
Its 2020 already，wishin for D Update.
Maybe adopted
Maybe dead.
Vibhu Bharadwaj not ruin because it’s a possibility
Well, kittens are usually in high demand because everyone wants to adopt a kitten instead of a cat--which is sad for cats, but good news for these little ones. I'd guess they all got adopted and hopefully all are still around.
thank you from one animal lover to another for saving these innocent creatures. I know it's a lot of hard work when you care so much and can't walk away from animals in need.
I think my heart is going to explode with love for these beautiful creatures
anyone else just die when they see kittens?
i do
500,000 people were murdered in cold blood by this video.
LOL
Poggle566 😅
+Tudogg Just die when they see kittens? What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?!!??
You are good people. Saving lives is amazing.
Amen to that.
I love how gentle and wise you are with them. I love gentle women like you, thank you.
So glad you saved these babies😸
black kittens in the other cage wanted some food too.
ikr.. :(

bircan doğaroğlu giving kittens,.special pet milk is kk

Beautiful work! I've rescued, raised, adopted, and been adopted by a number of feral cats and kittens, and they can be a challenge. In every case, they were worth every second of it.
It sure does work. I took in two kittens apparently wild, not even 3 pounds, got hissed at for some day after they got fixed soon after, just kept feeding them frequent little meals and luring them to play and I have some awesome cats now.
Nothing feels better than holding a Cat on your hands for petting it. These kittens are on extreme league of cuteness 😍❤
As an individual person not associated with any organization I have worked with nearly two dozen feral born kittens ranging in age from as young as possibly 48 hours to as old as many weeks. All having been found near a big rig wash and rest lot. Having dealt with the tireless effort needed to tend to as many as three days old kittens requiring bottle feeding every two hours I can say that fostering even a single litter can be overwhelming even if they are of an age that feeding from a bottle is no longer needed, but to take on four litters is amazing. After nearly three years of tending to feral born and abandon kittens while routinely trapping and fixing adults in the area there hasn't been a litter found in over a year despite multiple instances of domesticated cats having been abondon by what I must assume was truckers who for whatever reason.
Having been a die hard cat hater nearly a decade ago I admit my change has been as extreme as any of the cats I have taken in. It was a semi-feral elderly female I called Felix that changed me as I helped her after discovering her injured from a fight I assume with a dog when I came across her hiding under a bush in my front yard. It took well over a year, but I still recall the first time she followed me into my house most likely because she was just to old to want to deal with the Arizona summers outside. She passed away later that year but left an impact on me that lives on. It's in her honor I took to helping other cats in need.
You are an amazing woman god bless you
But you kinda smeared the tuna oil all over that kitten 😂
dododude that's what happens when you litterally feed them while holding them vertical facing the ceiling.
Well, his Sibling will take care of that rather quickly.
The others will groom it ,toute suite.I think she looks like she knows what she's doing.
dododude do not worry his siblings will clean off all the places that he can not reach...
I let the kittens get messy when eating on purpose because I think it encourages them to spend more time grooming themselves and each other. (If they have no mom around, I mean.)
THEY ARE SO CUTE
thank you for your kindness to some precious Baby kittens. Th se are adorable kittens.
Thank you so much for taking care of this adorable little gang of cuties. Many thanks to all who rescue !
I hope they are thriving and enjoying life where ever they may be today. Sweet and good you did for them.
SO beautiful! I would love to have all of them - and spoil them the rest of their lives!
I hope these beautiful little kittens have found their forever homes and have a wonderful happy and very loved life.. R.I.P mummy cat.
So much gratitude for taking care of these babies. They r beautiful!
Such patience and loving care. You're a great example to us all.
That diluted calico is so pretty. I never knew what they were called. An auto shop here has one that wandered in as a stray. She’s the shop mascot. Very sweet.
The level of SQUEEEEEEEEEE in this video is off of the charts!!! I love all of these beautiful kitties, and thank you for all that you do for these beautiful kitties!!! The world needs more people like you!!!
Awwww... and when they play with each other they are learning... “ how hard can I bite you, and still have you as my friend “....😊.
I hope they'll got their home and human to take care of them soon. you're amazing for saving them
The day before you published this I rescued three abandoned female kittens. They have now taken over my home, but my two older cats and I wouldn’t know what to do without them. I realized they need each other to feel safe, so this will be their forever home!
Thank God for special people like you who care and love these little guys so much!
Such a wonderful woman!
naughty babies don't hiss at the nice lady! you are really good with these fuzzybums :)
you are a wonderful lady. keep up the good work! xxx
I love this woman for what she does. I know how much pain you endure in this line of work
Had to add ... I was reading the comments, and I have to say that all of you people are just as beautiful as that woman for your compassion . Truly wonderful humans . Thank you all!
YOU HAVE IT RIGHT THE KEY FOOD AND TALKING TO THEM AND LOVE.......GOD BLESS YOU KID....
Awww, they are so precious, bless you for rescuing them They are so cute.
I have only had the honor of helping three fernal kittens, two of them I got to keep. The third went to a friend my mom worked with. Good Job. I didn't actually used food and a glove I put a pillow on my lap and petted them, until they relaxed.
What a lovely, gentle woman.
God bless you for saving these angels
They are so adorable!!! It reminds me when I rescued a momma kitty, and she had 6 litters. Two of them got adopted, and I have the four kittens right now. They are so precious. I kept the momma kitty too, and on top of that, I have 8 other kitties. They were all rescued from outside from different times.
So beautiful! Thank you for caring.
The lady sounds so sweet and motherly!! :)
Poor little orphan babies. I’ll bet their mom’s bardo is nearby, and very grateful to you, for picking up where she unfortunately had to leave off. I imagine she’s thanking you as she readies for her next existence. ❤️
Barbara, you are SOOOOO good with those cats! I hope you have some good support to help you with the food costs and care, and vet bills! I feed about 12-13 feral cats, 3 times a day, that are in the bushes at Home Depot in Lakewood Mall, and when I can get the mommies caught, I get them fixed and released back to their families! Keep up the excellent work and thanks for your help with the kittens!!!
A kitty story! 7 months ago I heard a kitten crying. I thought that maybe 'he' wanted to get out of his house. That sound was so sad; continuing into the early evening. He was in the area of a car engine! I knew the owner; he came out with his sons. They got the kitty out & they passed him to me. The wild, frightened critter clawed me & I let him go. I said 'thanks & goodnight' feeling sadder still. At around 12 a.m. he was in another vehicle; crying, awfully hungry, etc..@ 5 a.m.; same sounds & more sad feelings. I talked to him to keep him fighting! And he did. The 2nd vehicle left @ 9 a.m....Imagine how I felt then animal lovers. Then? A knock on my door at 4 p.m.; and there was my neighbor with a greasy, wild kitty [about 1 or 1 1/2 months old]! He feel asleep on my shoulder & after that? Some food/water and a bath . Now 'Mercedes' is one of the cutest kittens ever [aren't they all]? Yes, I kept him. [I have playlists]...
Mercedes is also a German girl's name.
Their all so precious I want one 😻💖💕🐾🐈
I have rescued other feral cats and like you know they can be tamed with love and patience.
+Chris News ++++1
Feral means she could have barely approached them! 😊
+Chris News a tamed cat is not afraid of humans which these kittens clearly are so theyre feral
+Chris News they are not tame kittens lol sorry, but your comment made me laugh, if they were tame they wouldn't have hissed or swatted at her.
+Chris News lol
Agree, only haters and heartless idiots cannot be tamed
"Time" is the key to getting these cuties turned into playful little fur-balls of mischief. I want to see more of these cuties to see how tough they are now.
This lady understands cats and kittens. The eyes are good clues - the slow blink is a milestone in relaxation and acceptence, even in adult cats.
