I get SO ANXIOUS when I watch rescue videos where there are cats who clearly want cuddling but there's like 2 seconds of a vague head pat in the video and then NOTHING. It's like on top of the usual emotional stress of seeing animals who've been through some shit, now there's the added emotional stress of my brain and heart and arms and hands spending the entire video howling WE NEED. TO HUG. THOSE KITTIES!!!! So this video was just utterly, absolutely blissful. Petting, and cuddling, and brushing, and more cuddling, and more petting, and holding, and petting, and loving, and oh my god, the music choice, too. And Teddy, just so OBVIOUSLY and PERFECTLY happy, with his little half closed eyes and his sweet little biscuit making... this is a perfect, perfect rescue video.
1. I've never seen a cat so willing to get into a carrier. He was so done with being outside he didn't care where they took him. 2. Seeing Teddy become so playful toward the end was so heartwarming! You could tell he felt so much better and that made all the time and effort worth it. ❤
Kira F, yes, I found a _very_ skittish cat outside my house one evening. It was over -20F outside; and she was so cold and so near death that she _let_ me pick her up and bring her into the house. She was just done with being outside too!
mine was too and it was born and raised stray all its life (till now) and i do these things also, but don't go around flaunting videos of it thinking to pop out my camera everytime for youtube likes and views lmao... wish i could though! x'D (for memories sakes) might have some b4 and after pics tho P:...
He was clearly someone's pet at one time. He was receptive to petting, breaks my heart how terrible he looked before he was saved. There truly are amazing people out there from the rescuers, doctors, people that donated money to his surgery his new owners.🙏💜💜💜💜💜
Oh, it depends. He could have lived near schools. Romanian feral cats are skittish, but will tolerate some pets, if they are busy eating. The ones near schools? They jump on you for pets. Children love animals.
Feels worse knowing this cat might have not been abandoned instead lost. He might miss his family and his family would definitely miss him if that was the case
@@Anreii That's what male cats do if you don't neuter them. They run away from their owners looking for cat p*ssy and never come back. It's called roaming.
@@Anreii people need to microchip their cats . Which now they have to since June this year.in UK. Lot people are aasholes don't take their responsibilities. Cats have many kittens and roam away. Cos they never neutered the female or male. Sum du to earn money from animals. Make me sick 🤢♥️😻
I love cats I cried I subscribed My beloved cat, Dodi, is nearly 21 years old & deaf. Dunno if she could handle a new friend, at her age & condition. Thank you for all the support you give to poor homeless lovely cats.
Me too, I rescued all three of my cats from the streets of Miami, Fl two have past away one at 12 yrs old the other one at 13 yrs old and the last one I have Lucky is turning 16 yrs old today! ❤and still going 😊 I’ve given them the best life possible.
The way he let them pet him and walked straight to the cage and wasn't afraid of humans clearly shows that he had a family before he is amazing I'm happy they could save him
We lost our cat girl at 13 years old from stomach cancer just before Christmas. The same day, we adopt a stray young tomcat who was skin and bones, covered in wounds and scars. He was very afraid at the rescue , direct from the streets, in our harsh winter in 🇨🇦, but at home, he became suddenly only cuddles and hugs. He was our Christmas gift, due to the vet bills and he is wonderful! He is amazed to have a toys box and nap with them. He has his leather sofa in my room and he sleeps at night on top of my old disabled guinea pig cage. ( i am bedridden) .They love each other, my piggy helps him each morning to steal the hay from his cage for a quick breakfast! They are hilarious! Often, i awoke with his big butt on my pillow and the rest of the cat on my lap! All people are in love with him, he likes to appear on camera when my daughter is in meetings! This week, he discovered how play with a paper bag, so exciting! Each live we save is worth the price and the efforts.
@@murielvaillancourt3855- I can't think of a better Christmas gift than saving the life of a cat. We've done that several times. My husband finally understands that, to me, the life of a cat, or two, is worth more than gold. Hope you're well, and surrounded by the love of your kitty. And piggy 💕
After seeing this video years ago, I decided that, when I was able to, I would rescue a cat rather than buy from a breeder. A week ago today, I brought home a snugly shoulder kitten. I just got back from his first official vet visit and thought I should let you know that your videos have a positive effect on people from half a world away (I live in Asia). Keep up the good work and best of luck with your new clinic!
Right now I have 8, at one time we had 14. Everybody fixed. I live on social security and don't have much, but we manage. I live in a Mobil home park where people move out and just leave their cats, they show up on my porch starved and hurt. I take care of them and use some of my grocery money to feed them well. And they are not going anywhere, they will always have a home with me.
Hey, same! Guy from India, here. I used to feed and be friendly with a stray mommy. About a year ago, she had 3 kittens. I wanted to bring them inside and do something for them, but my living situation was unsteady. Within a month, I'm not sure what happened, but two of the kittens stopped coming to see me when I came to our usual feeding zone. That was it. I took a plunge and bought them inside. Had some ups and downs with my living situation, but we're now happy together!
We're you able to spay te mom and remaining kitten? I hope you have a secure home now. I almost lost my cat a year ago after I lost my apartment suddenly and had no prospect. We even slept in a tent for a couple of nights. He was so miserable and confused... I'm so glad a family member was able and willing to bail us out.
Male cats always wander around and get lost. Maybe that's what happened to him. I lost my cat too,one day he just did not came back home. I've been crying for years because of it.
I am amazed Teddy was still able to ask for help even after all that he had been through. You can lead a horse to water you can't make them drink, Teddy was ready and willing to fight for recovery that is a resilient cat.
Animals are resilient like that. My cat was never abused but my dog's last owner used to beat him. Now he's safe with me and I'm training him to be my service dog, and he also participates in dock diving.
The poor thing walked right into that carrier as if to say, "Wherever they're taking me can't be worse than where I'm at now." One thing's for sure: After he got off the street, Teddy became one of the best-loved kitties in the world.
A sweet and adorable cat. She suffered a lot before. With the help of do many kind people, she became healthy again and gained tones of love. Very happy she is adopted with other cat siblings. Wishing the family would living happily with all the animals.
That is exactly what i thought , it is just amazing that he realized that fact and never resisted ( i would love to think that he had some of the wisdom to think of it that way )
When we moved in to our new house, a stray cat lived in our garden already. After 2 days of watching us I fed him, after 1 week I can touch him, after 1 month he was our daily guest and now, more than 1 year later he live with us in the house, do what ever he wants, wrecking my nerves every day and is the greatest joy in my life ❤️
@@sunkat76 thank goodness for people caring about Teddy around the world. Always pay it forward any way you can. That is what I try to do each month for cats and kittens around the TriState area. I have 4 rescues around 11 years old now. Caring volunteers make the world go around.
And imagine he was a street cat...just imagine how cool this cat was to even take a bath with no resistance or go to the vet without coming back fully raged
@@kahinaoftheelements4845 it's unbelievable. my cat has no problems going to the vet but if you get her anyhwere near a running tap or the bathtub she screams.. doesen't attack or meow but tries to jump out and just legit screams
Except for the bathing part, my Dizzy was just like him. Just a calm, sweet fuzzy guy. My vet always said his temperament was the best she’s seen. He passed years ago and I miss him dearly.
At around 2 minutes when he looks around while being brushed, I couldn't help feeling he was thinking "is this really happening to me..." what a fortune Teddy had to have kindhearted people come across him!
It's crazy how anyone would disregard a dirty cat as something normal. Cats are not like dogs. If they look dirty it means they are probably sick and don't have enough energy to groom themselves. So if you see a dirty looking cat please try to help it if you can!
@@ME.S.E you do realize that cats are effectively still wild animals for the most part. Yes a cat raised in doors is a glorified kitten, but cats with a bit more freedom, can adapt quickly to feral life and the next generation may as well wild animals. Not to mention the entire islands taken over by feral domestic cats. The only way you could argue all feral cats are dirty and sick is by saying all wild animals are dirty and sick. Admittedly it depends on your dirt and sick thresholds and what streets you refer to. Basically what do you define as dirty and sick?
@@willowarkan2263 Even feral cats need care. They don't need to live in houses, but they need food, and to be spayed or neutered and they need their shots. They are not adapted to live as wild animals. They just aren't socialized to accept being touched by humans.
Brooklyn has generational street cats. Not necessarily abandoned or lost. The ones who lived around our neighborhood were all of smaller stature after generations adapting to scarce food sources. But there were no rats our neighborhod either unlike closer to downtown...
@@K-popstanLuver I know. I was just stating what I have observed. Not quite sure what portion of Flatbush/Brooklyn this was but it is a fairly long thoroughfare in a very large borough with quite a few different urban biomes in between waters and I happened to have rescued a few locals myself.
@@TheCandiceWang I never had a cat be chill during a bath in my entire life until I adopted my cat now. I think the chill bathers are 1 in a million. Lol
He reminds my of an old friend i had in elementary. He a deformation in his left ear, which made it bend forwards. He told me that doctors said that there was no worry of ear problems, he’d just be different. I always liked being close by to him because all the mean kids would make fun of him for his bendy ear, so i always stepped in to tell them off. I once got so mad at a kid for what he said to my friend, that i punched him and broke his nose. I was sent to the princapal’s office for it. We were together up until highschool, where he had to move away. He was very smart and was accepted onto a really nice college. Only thing was it was very far away. I was really sad to see him go, but he said that if someone tries to make fun of him, he’ll do what i did and break their nose and see if they think that’s funny. It’s been years since i’ve seen him, but i heard he’s down in washington, working at some big library. He always loved books. I wonder if my friend and teddy would get along well.
If he did run away from home because of hormones and got lost I really want to believe that his previous home was sweet with him because of how relaxed he was during all of this
You never know. It could be some homeless person's cat. Sometimes homeless will have animal companions. If the human dies, they will end up being alone.
I adopted a cat like this. He was much older, but such an angel. Unfortunately cats who are going through kidney complications, especially male cats, will pee on the rug when they have flare-ups. A lot of people either aren't able or interested to get them expensive procedures like this done or they just think the cat has behavioral issues, and they wind up dumped
I think he was so easily rescued because he was very tired and sick and had been that way for quite a long time. Getting in a carrier with a can of food it in may have been his last gasp for survival. He looked ready to give up at the start of the video. So happy he has found a home. Even better, a home that came with a big brother cat to play with!!!
i have a kitten who we found drenched in motor oil and nearly dead. Brought him home, cleaned him up, nursed him back to health. Hes still a bit skiddish but doing very well. His name is Dusty Bones, a lovely long haired mix.
I had a kitten bust into my house and use the other cat's litter box as if to say look I'm potty trained! He never left he's 25 pounds now his name is Max he's my buddy he once saved the kids from a rattlesnake. He almost got bit but we shot that things face to pieces. The snake not the cat.
I loved the first brushing when he lifted his tail like, "Don't forget this, please!" But, I figured he was used to humans when he allowed you to touch him from the beginning. And when he started grooming himself, a sure sign that he was starting to care again. But, the saddest part for me? He was shown on television, and the original owners never bothered to contact the station to claim him. Tells you just how much THEY cared.
Doesn't mean they saw it. I very rarely watch the news unless it's been taken to FB and goes viral and I just so happen to see it. His family could very well be out there thinking he's dead sadly.
One of my cats jumps up and sleeps next to me in bed, he nudges up against my shoulder All night he stays and in morning he follows me around Some cats are like that but my other is jerk, ignore me all day
I've never liked cats. Like NEVER I actually hated them. Until my neighbor who lives downstairs brought a baby cat home. I never mistreated him, and I think I've been the most affectionate with him since his neighbor is never home. The reason I never liked cats it's because they would never let me grab them and would scratch me or whatever and this cat is kinda like teddy he let's me hold him like a baby. Thanks to that cat I'm here looking at cat videos and now I actually like cats and see them on a whole different perspective. 💜👌🏻
@@StevieMichelle - You've got to learn to 'read' cats before you start scritching them and picking them up etc. - it's not that difficult, and you will know when/which times you can do what to them.
Cats have different personalities 🤷♀️ My first cat didn’t like to be touched. She loved spending time near us but wouldn’t let us touch her. My neighbors cat on the other hand is clingy af.
I've fostered and cried over each one being adopted. I just remind myself I am not the only one who can love that adopters are full of love. The minute one foster goes out another one can come in which is one more life to save. So yeah it hurts to say good bye but remember why you do what you do. You're meant to be the temporary home until the forever home is found. It feels good to know every foster that goes thru your home didn't have to die out on the streets!
@@mircat28 last year I viewed a cat at a foster home and I could not adopt the cat because the foster parents loved him already. He already had a home and I felt like I could not measure up to their expectations for an adopter. So I did not take him though I liked him. I did however take a cat from a family through word-of-mouth, who simply dumped her off at my house and took $50 from me for her. They couldn't have been very good cat parents as they never answered my request for her vet history.
Teddy would've died an agonizing death if he hadn't been found. I'm glad he was. It's not easy or fun being on the streets. I know. I was out there for a long time.
I cried too because I am sure he went through a lot on the street. Thank God they found him, and they gave all so much love that he deserved. Teddy knew he was in good hand from day one. I was sad and happy coz now, he has a loving home. He got so much love to give to the rescuerers and his human parents. God bless and long live Teddy. Love & Kisses. Me and my 13 rescued kitties
@3:10 Teddy's look into the camera is priceless here. Such a good boy, he deserved all the love and care he got/is getting. I'm glad he has a chance to be in a home again, and off the streets.
I am so happy for Teddy, but very sad for billions of homeless, suffering and abused cats and dogs in the world. I wish all cats and dogs were as lucky as Teddy.
I've been following them since a while before they got Teddy but for me it's that his behaviour and even his name is the same as my oldest boy Teddy. Mine is 15 and a fully black cat but grey and white Teddys story definitely is special to me too.
@@DieAlteistwiederda He knew he was being treated well, and he appreciated every human who was there for him. You just know a cat like that is thankful in his own way. I've had a few cats just like that, and my last one, Theo, lived to be 20 years old. Now, Angel, my current rescue cat, is 18 and a half years old, and you wouldn't know it. It's just so satisfying to have her in my lap or on my side or chest with myy arm wrapped around her while she purrs. She really knows someone loves her, and even though it seems to get harder to lose a cat when he or she is released to God's Kingdom, I know another one is waiting for me somewhere. God always wanted me to have cats in my life, and I just adore them and will do whatever I can to care for them.
Unfortunately, Teddy was given a fantastic home for years but passed away after his condition progressed beyond help. Passed away a couple of months ago now.
TRUE WORDS YOU SPEAK HE LOOKED LIKE LIFE WAS GONNA GET THE BETTER OF HIM BUT HE'S TOUGH AND LUCKY HE CAME ACROSS THESE GOOD PEOPLE, I SEE HUMANS LIKE THIS AND I CAN SEE THE PAIN LIFE HAS THROWN AT THEM, IT'S TOUGH 😇
@@Grumpy_old_Boot he probably did. I adopted a cat found down by the freeway by animal control. He was skinny, full of fleas and filthy. Vet said he was around 10 years old. He is super sweet and affectionate. Likes everyone, had him for 6 years now. Definitely not a feral cat, obviously had a home before me. Probably got lost, and like you, they are wondering what happened to him . But he is here in a great home with a loving family, and very , very happy.
I started crying like 2 minutes in and my soulmate cat, Gwen, came over to see what was up. She looked from me to the screen a couple of times, then flopped down, snuggled up and watched the rest of the video with me. You must be doing some damn good work if you melted the heart of the only cat I’ve ever met who adores her human and barely tolerates the two other cats in the house…or maybe she just thought Teddy was a hunk (don’t worry she’s spayed). Thank you for all that you do. I will definitely be donating ❤️
I used to never wanting a cat, and one day I came home from work and I heard “meowing “ . I looked at my husband and said what’s going on? His reply” that’s a cat, and he is STAYING! I went to the store to get cat food, litter, toys. The cat was given to my husband by a co worker, but I took it the vet anyway. It is a mix main coon cat , black with yellow eyes. We have not taken any vacations since 2012 and my husband is blaming me cuz I won’t leave my cat to anymore. I became a cat lady. My cat is AWSOME!
It’s a good decision to not go on a vacation and leaving the cat home. Even though our friends and family came over and took care of our cat, her immune system seemed to weaken and she was under a whole lot of stress, and she got ringworms right after. It had happened twice and I’ve also decided not to take on a vacation for the sake of my cat.
Don’t you have cat hotels over there? There are places that are so great for your cat that the cat would almost prefer to stay forever. It might take some searching to find heaven for cats, but it’s out there. Most of us paint ourselves as the ultimate care giver and that our cat would be miserable and suffer if we went away. The truth is that there are a lot of others out there that can give them so much attention and love while you’re on vacation. There are hotels out there that are beyond your wildest dreams, where your cats will thrive in. You just need to find it.
The poor guy was really a mess. I'm sure he was stinky and itchy. Cats usually keep themselves pristine clean, but he was just too ill to do it himself. It probably was a relief.
It 'is' very hard to give up a cat after you have fostered them. I still think about one I named "Jack", who was so sweet and loving, from 10 yrs ago. But I'm sure he was adopted into a good home. You have to give them up so you can help save more. It's a rewarding cycle. ❤🐱
God created the house-animals for the human beeings. For to show us His great Love for us...and to make many people soft-hearted. In a fallen world....as the Bible tells...People need warm hearts around. Just so little as giving a warm thank with a smile and a little wink when cars stops by a fot-passing in the street...thats not allways happen...but when I give them a friendly attitude. It is such small everydays-things that makes me soo happy to respond on☺😘😘
@@torilllundborn7899 You are so right about doing little things to spread love. Aim to be the person who radiates a joy and happiness to others around. The energy we give off spreads in an exponential way!
Rickson Denden my sister once fostered a kitten she found outside of her workplace and ended up keeping her because she grew attached to it. Couple months later she found another stray kitten in her friends neighborhood and instantly kept him. Now she has Azula (her dog, she adopted her bc no one wanted the runt) Niko (the first kitten) and Salom (the second lil guy, idk how to spell his name lol)
When they’re driven by nothing but instinct, you really can’t ever blame an animal for their actions; it’s just in their nature. That is why their hearts are pure... definitely purer than human hearts.
It truly is heartbreaking how often cats are abandoned. Our current cat was left behind by a neighbor when they moved out. We began feeding her, and now she comes to us every day, sleeps in our bed, loves to get attention, she's the best. I don't know how anyone could toss aside these wonderful, affectionate animals.
Well they said if not fixed male cats can run outside the home and roam over a mile away and get lost. We have a kitten and it is about time to get him fixed. He has ran outside a few times. We look around and he is not near the door and zoom he is outside. So far I've caught him each time. But I have started holding him when I need to let the dog out.
@@shannonm.4087 Lol... dittle is a cute name! My great Fluff was also a stray at one point. Now he's 14 lbs of pure fur, muscle, and claw from all of the turkey and chicken I share with him
dru breaks my heart to think of him out there. I’ve got three cats that were strays and got homes help for about 15 more. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. If everyone just cared and loved a little more but sadly they don’t.xx
He asked for help but he got so much more!!! I wish to thank everyone that donated to his care or vet bill! You are incredibly kind and generous!!!!!!!!!
My cat does that too when he's in my lap, and constantly wants me to hold him as a baby :) Teddy reminds me of him, very affectionate and social. My other cat is more sassy and more reserved to strangers, our boy greets everyone just like a dog does haha. But she (my other cat) is cuddly too towards me and my bf and sleeps with us and besides me at the couch, but she isn't a lap cat ;) Which we weren't expecting since she is a British Shorthair and they want to be around and beside you but usually not directly in your lap. Our boy is a mixed breed just like I assume Teddy here is :) In Swedish we call it "bond katt" or "hus katt" when they aren't a specific pure breed, which would translate to "farmer cat" or "house cat", don't know if there is any term like that in English. Now I'm rambling, but I love cats more than anything xx
I almost always cry. What a sweetie and I am so glad he is getting the care and love every animal deserves. I have six cats, 4four of which I have rescued, but there are so many more needing a home.
I can't believe how good-natured he is considering all he's been through. When you see all the rotten stuff in the world, it's nice to watch someone doing so much good.
I just rescued a male adolescent cat 3 days ago. I was out in my garden and he came out of nowhere crying and begging for help. I gave him a bath and took him to the vet the next day. He is currently quarantine due to very contagious parasites. I have two cats already. This poor cat kept thanking me constantly. Every time he would go to eat food, he would take a minute to stop and come over and at least let me know that he was grateful for my help. We've a long road ahead of us but it really amazes me when these animals show up and actually ask for help. ❤ Thank you for sharing your kindness. There is another cat in my neighborhood that's got to bend over ears like this little guy which is a sign that there's a lot of health issues going on with him and possibly nights. I can't get him to trust me though. I'm picking up a big carrier so I can help more cats in quarantine them until I can find homes for them. My vet has given me discounts because I bring in so many homeless cats. Shout out to Rasnic Animal Clinic in Duffield, Va!😢
My brothers cat will close his eyes and if you’ve ever seen a happy tiger, that’s the face he makes and omg. It’s the most precious and I nearly cry every time he does it. He just always looks so content and in complete bliss it kiLLS Me
Cats do that specifically as a communication. They use body language to communicate. In cat language that means, "I feel safe around you. I accept you. I love you"
When they're that dirty it comes as a relief for them. My cat fell in our pond and nearly drowned. She looked like one of those seabirds after an oil-slick. Normally she would freak about a bath, but she was really calm and just let me wash her. The bath became *completely* black. Then she let me dry her with a hair drier, something she would normally never had let me do.
Look how beautiful his coat is!!!!! Thank 🙏GOD🙏 for people like you. I just adopted an amazing pure black cat that was dropped off by someone into the feral cat community here in Staten Island. Just like Teddy, she wasn’t feral, nor a stray. How could she defend herself? Someone noticed that she was not feral. She was brought into a shelter and foster home. She is now happy and healthy in her forever home with me. Lord knows they know when they’ve been taken care of and adopted. Thank you so much for all that you do. ♥️Much Love From SI♥️
Whoever owned him before may have had him used to baths. My cats have been bathed since they were very small and don't act our either. They'll meow loudly and try to get out every now and then but don't flip out and try to kill me lol.
just binged several flatbush videos in a row but this was the one that got me sobbing. his transformation from dirty and lethargic just broke my heart in two. knowing his survival hinged on the cooperation of so many people... knowing just how many people loved this cat they didn't know enough to save his life. i can't stop crying
When I dont have work days and I can wake up slowly. I start reading the news witch puts me in a bad spot. So I go over to YT too see some funny and entertaining videos, witch always leads to hearth warming videos. After that, I can start my day as a caring and happy human being.
Poor Teddy, he wouldn't have lasted much longer on the street. Thank you for helping him and all the other cats. I have adopted cats over the years and they have all been such loving members of the family I also give to Alley Cat Allies to help street cats have a better life.
I have never seen a cat so trusting with strangers. Godbless.
Yes me too. Hes so loving ❤❤😺😘🙏
He is clearly domesticated. He isn't a stray, he was abandoned.
Cookie who said he was a stray?
same, even my cat whomst i feed everyday dont trust me :D she always attacks me
Nicholas Forrester there is one down my road who is always sat in the driveway and he’ll meow at anyone going past for a rub on the head
I love the ammount of cat petting shots in this video
Don't forget the kitty hugs and 'biscuit making'!!!❤
lunatic gmd it’s what he and we deserve
I get SO ANXIOUS when I watch rescue videos where there are cats who clearly want cuddling but there's like 2 seconds of a vague head pat in the video and then NOTHING. It's like on top of the usual emotional stress of seeing animals who've been through some shit, now there's the added emotional stress of my brain and heart and arms and hands spending the entire video howling WE NEED. TO HUG. THOSE KITTIES!!!! So this video was just utterly, absolutely blissful. Petting, and cuddling, and brushing, and more cuddling, and more petting, and holding, and petting, and loving, and oh my god, the music choice, too. And Teddy, just so OBVIOUSLY and PERFECTLY happy, with his little half closed eyes and his sweet little biscuit making... this is a perfect, perfect rescue video.
@ugur asik Ohhh, you're SO edgey, incel.
Extensive cat petting + calming music is like a warm bath on a cold day...
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal."
LOVE that
No god will bless him and the cat.

Look a very brutally injured cat saved
True
Teddy passed away this week. So glad he got 4 years of love and safety ❤
Awww, I wish he had had more time of "love and safey" but glad he had it at all.
I'm sorry, he was a lucky kitty!
RIP Teddy 🙏🏼🩵💙
Sorry to hear. What a cutie. ❤
RIP teddy ❤️
I’m glad he got love and care and a home of his own to live in comfort for his last few years.
1. I've never seen a cat so willing to get into a carrier. He was so done with being outside he didn't care where they took him.
2. Seeing Teddy become so playful toward the end was so heartwarming! You could tell he felt so much better and that made all the time and effort worth it. ❤
@@bmfanboy8838 😐🤨?
So true. It was like he thought, whatever you're going to do to me, it couldn't possibly be worse than this. Poor little thing. What a transformation!
Kira F, yes, I found a _very_ skittish cat outside my house one evening. It was over -20F outside; and she was so cold and so near death that she _let_ me pick her up and bring her into the house. She was just done with being outside too!
mine was too and it was born and raised stray all its life (till now) and i do these things also, but don't go around flaunting videos of it thinking to pop out my camera everytime for youtube likes and views lmao... wish i could though! x'D (for memories sakes) might have some b4 and after pics tho P:...
You should see my cat at the vet’s. She fights her way back into a carrier 🤣🤣
"We named him Teddy, he reminded us of a worn raggedy old teddy bear discarded and forgotten on the street" 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Alissa Michelle no teddy from one of my fav movies AI
Hes gorgeous......good name poor kitty.. glad he rescued😘😘😘😘😺😺😺🐾🐾🐾❤❤❤🙏
Caim Numinous why
That one got me too 😢
But it seems a very sweet baby to me. Hope it gets all the love and affection from your family
What a love bug. Teddy really deserved to be worshipped like the emperor he is.
The Real Mythril I have a rescue cat named Nova (short for Casanova) who looks just like Teddy
Will and Ted's excellent adventures X
He was clearly someone's pet at one time. He was receptive to petting, breaks my heart how terrible he looked before he was saved. There truly are amazing people out there from the rescuers, doctors, people that donated money to his surgery his new owners.🙏💜💜💜💜💜
Oh, it depends. He could have lived near schools. Romanian feral cats are skittish, but will tolerate some pets, if they are busy eating.
The ones near schools? They jump on you for pets. Children love animals.
Feels worse knowing this cat might have not been abandoned instead lost. He might miss his family and his family would definitely miss him if that was the case
@@Anreii That's what male cats do if you don't neuter them. They run away from their owners looking for cat p*ssy and never come back. It's called roaming.

@@Anreii people need to microchip their cats . Which now they have to since June this year.in UK. Lot people are aasholes don't take their responsibilities. Cats have many kittens and roam away. Cos they never neutered the female or male. Sum du to earn money from animals. Make me sick 🤢♥️😻

My beloved cat, Dodi, is nearly 21 years old & deaf. Dunno if she could handle a new friend, at her age & condition.
Thank you for all the support you give to poor homeless lovely cats.
And people really have the guts to say cats are evil.
Some act evil. But it's all a farce I bet.
It depends on their care takers
Okay but like what does a cat's personality and people's thoughts about them have to do with this video lol, pretty irrelevant if you ask me
My cat is, but we love him
Seriously there the most adorable things in the world. They are so cute and calm and my favorite pets in the world
A former pet, not a feral. Poor thing, not street wise. So lucky to be rescued and treated.
yeah that's what I was thinking. He probably ran away a little too far. He was very trusting of strangers.
Yeah cats who are feral don’t meow at people or approach people
The definition of feral is a once domesticated animal turned wild. This was a feral cat.
Wildgrem - I wouldn't say Teddy was wild, just homeless.
wildgrem he was far from wild considering how tame he was. Most likely abandoned or lost
I found 7 of my cats on the streets of Brooklyn...THANK YOU for saving that baby! I hope he lives a looooong, happy, healthy, loved-up life! 🥰
Me too, I rescued all three of my cats from the streets of Miami, Fl two have past away one at 12 yrs old the other one at 13 yrs old and the last one I have Lucky is turning 16 yrs old today! ❤and still going 😊 I’ve given them the best life possible.

@@ChristineMichelleYT well it wasnt anemic the entire video either. plenty of cats can be hissy little messes even really really sick.
The way he let them pet him and walked straight to the cage and wasn't afraid of humans clearly shows that he had a family before he is amazing I'm happy they could save him
I would say he did that because the poor cat doesn't have nothing to lose anymore, so he just walked straight to the cage
We lost our cat girl at 13 years old from stomach cancer just before Christmas. The same day, we adopt a stray young tomcat who was skin and bones, covered in wounds and scars. He was very afraid at the rescue , direct from the streets, in our harsh winter in 🇨🇦, but at home, he became suddenly only cuddles and hugs. He was our Christmas gift, due to the vet bills and he is wonderful! He is amazed to have a toys box and nap with them. He has his leather sofa in my room and he sleeps at night on top of my old disabled guinea pig cage. ( i am bedridden) .They love each other, my piggy helps him each morning to steal the hay from his cage for a quick breakfast! They are hilarious! Often, i awoke with his big butt on my pillow and the rest of the cat on my lap! All people are in love with him, he likes to appear on camera when my daughter is in meetings! This week, he discovered how play with a paper bag, so exciting! Each live we save is worth the price and the efforts.
@@murielvaillancourt3855- I can't think of a better Christmas gift than saving the life of a cat.
We've done that several times. My husband finally understands that, to me, the life of a cat, or two, is worth more than gold. Hope you're well, and surrounded by the love of your kitty. And piggy 💕
Muriel Vaillancourt oh please film and share! sounds so amazing!😀
After seeing this video years ago, I decided that, when I was able to, I would rescue a cat rather than buy from a breeder. A week ago today, I brought home a snugly shoulder kitten. I just got back from his first official vet visit and thought I should let you know that your videos have a positive effect on people from half a world away (I live in Asia). Keep up the good work and best of luck with your new clinic!
this has made me so happy!! i hope you and your kitty are happy xxx
Bless those who save rescue cats instead of breeders.
Right now I have 8, at one time we had 14. Everybody fixed. I live on social security and don't have much, but we manage. I live in a Mobil home park where people move out and just leave their cats, they show up on my porch starved and hurt. I take care of them and use some of my grocery money to feed them well. And they are not going anywhere, they will always have a home with me.
Hey, same! Guy from India, here. I used to feed and be friendly with a stray mommy. About a year ago, she had 3 kittens. I wanted to bring them inside and do something for them, but my living situation was unsteady.
Within a month, I'm not sure what happened, but two of the kittens stopped coming to see me when I came to our usual feeding zone.
That was it. I took a plunge and bought them inside. Had some ups and downs with my living situation, but we're now happy together!
We're you able to spay te mom and remaining kitten? I hope you have a secure home now. I almost lost my cat a year ago after I lost my apartment suddenly and had no prospect. We even slept in a tent for a couple of nights. He was so miserable and confused... I'm so glad a family member was able and willing to bail us out.
I love that 96% of this video is just Teddy getting scritches 😂😂

@Blaaqphoenix not out of context at all mate ☺. God created everyone (cats included)...it applies to all if your compassion is for all, plants too. 😉
@Blaaqphoenix oh shit I was thinking if a skit DMX did in one of his albums where he said that word by word
I am amazed Teddy was still able to ask for help even after all that he had been through. You can lead a horse to water you can't make them drink, Teddy was ready and willing to fight for recovery that is a resilient cat.
Animals are resilient like that. My cat was never abused but my dog's last owner used to beat him. Now he's safe with me and I'm training him to be my service dog, and he also participates in dock diving.
The poor thing walked right into that carrier as if to say, "Wherever they're taking me can't be worse than where I'm at now."
One thing's for sure: After he got off the street, Teddy became one of the best-loved kitties in the world.
spot on 🙂
I thought the same thing. That poor thing was so defeated…
A sweet and adorable cat. She suffered a lot before. With the help of do many kind people, she became healthy again and gained tones of love. Very happy she is adopted with other cat siblings. Wishing the family would living happily with all the animals.
You’re so right, brilliant analysis. 👍😇😅
That is exactly what i thought , it is just amazing that he realized that fact and never resisted ( i would love to think that he had some of the wisdom to think of it that way )

It's crazy how anyone would disregard a dirty cat as something normal. Cats are not like dogs. If they look dirty it means they are probably sick and don't have enough energy to groom themselves. So if you see a dirty looking cat please try to help it if you can!
Ehm... so a dirty dog can't be sick? Street dogs are always dirty and they are all sick.
@@ME.S.E but they don't have a strong an urge to clean themselves in the way cats do, they can be content being somewhat dirty.
@@willowarkan2263
All street animals are dirty and sick. Even street cats that do try to clean themselves.
@@ME.S.E you do realize that cats are effectively still wild animals for the most part. Yes a cat raised in doors is a glorified kitten, but cats with a bit more freedom, can adapt quickly to feral life and the next generation may as well wild animals. Not to mention the entire islands taken over by feral domestic cats. The only way you could argue all feral cats are dirty and sick is by saying all wild animals are dirty and sick. Admittedly it depends on your dirt and sick thresholds and what streets you refer to. Basically what do you define as dirty and sick?
@@willowarkan2263 Even feral cats need care. They don't need to live in houses, but they need food, and to be spayed or neutered and they need their shots. They are not adapted to live as wild animals. They just aren't socialized to accept being touched by humans.
Such a gentle baby. How could anyone throw him on the street.
It's highly likely that he got lost, since he wasn't neutered.
Brooklyn has generational street cats. Not necessarily abandoned or lost.
The ones who lived around our neighborhood were all of smaller stature after generations adapting to scarce food sources.
But there were no rats our neighborhod either unlike closer to downtown...
The guy said he could of wandered off and got out side no one said they threw him on the streets.
@@badlaamaurukehu the guy said it seemed like the cat had owners before though.

@@CaptainMaeric Omg I was staring at that.
He reminds my of an old friend i had in elementary.
He a deformation in his left ear, which made it bend forwards. He told me that doctors said that there was no worry of ear problems, he’d just be different.
I always liked being close by to him because all the mean kids would make fun of him for his bendy ear, so i always stepped in to tell them off.
I once got so mad at a kid for what he said to my friend, that i punched him and broke his nose.
I was sent to the princapal’s office for it.
We were together up until highschool, where he had to move away. He was very smart and was accepted onto a really nice college. Only thing was it was very far away. I was really sad to see him go, but he said that if someone tries to make fun of him, he’ll do what i did and break their nose and see if they think that’s funny.
It’s been years since i’ve seen him, but i heard he’s down in washington, working at some big library. He always loved books.
I wonder if my friend and teddy would get along well.

@@annek1226 oh right that makes it even cuter. I feel like singing "Somebody to Love" by Queen and playing an epic montage of this guy.
He is a big guy. I bet he was someone’s cat that they just left or his owner died. He is very fortunate that you found him.
Maybe they abandoned him.. sometimes people dont want to care for older animals because they're "not cute" anymore :/
@@stephaniezee9704 shame on them 🤨
If he did run away from home because of hormones and got lost I really want to believe that his previous home was sweet with him because of how relaxed he was during all of this
You never know. It could be some homeless person's cat. Sometimes homeless will have animal companions. If the human dies, they will end up being alone.
I adopted a cat like this. He was much older, but such an angel. Unfortunately cats who are going through kidney complications, especially male cats, will pee on the rug when they have flare-ups. A lot of people either aren't able or interested to get them expensive procedures like this done or they just think the cat has behavioral issues, and they wind up dumped
He definitely seemed like he’d had a hime. ❣️
Some cats, like my Simon, are just...wanderers. They are oblivious and simply start walking.
I think he was so easily rescued because he was very tired and sick and had been that way for quite a long time. Getting in a carrier with a can of food it in may have been his last gasp for survival. He looked ready to give up at the start of the video. So happy he has found a home. Even better, a home that came with a big brother cat to play with!!!
It doesn’t matter how many times I see this video, I always tear up. I love that little guy, thanks for helping him!

I loved the first brushing when he lifted his tail like, "Don't forget this, please!"
But, I figured he was used to humans when he allowed you to touch him from the beginning. And when he started grooming himself, a sure sign that he was starting to care again.
But, the saddest part for me? He was shown on television, and the original owners never bothered to contact the station to claim him. Tells you just how much THEY cared.
Doesn't mean they saw it. I very rarely watch the news unless it's been taken to FB and goes viral and I just so happen to see it. His family could very well be out there thinking he's dead sadly.
Also, to be fair, his owner could’ve died, which would very much explain why he was on the street but seemed to be so accustomed to home life.
My cat would never let me pet him that much. Teddy must have been starved for affection.
One of my cats jumps up and sleeps next to me in bed, he nudges up against my shoulder
All night he stays and in morning he follows me around
Some cats are like that but my other is jerk, ignore me all day
It all depends on how you treat/treated them when they were young and how you treat them currently, they remember everything.
I've never liked cats. Like NEVER I actually hated them. Until my neighbor who lives downstairs brought a baby cat home. I never mistreated him, and I think I've been the most affectionate with him since his neighbor is never home. The reason I never liked cats it's because they would never let me grab them and would scratch me or whatever and this cat is kinda like teddy he let's me hold him like a baby. Thanks to that cat I'm here looking at cat videos and now I actually like cats and see them on a whole different perspective. 💜👌🏻
@@StevieMichelle - You've got to learn to 'read' cats before you start scritching them and picking them up etc. - it's not that difficult, and you will know when/which times you can do what to them.
Cats have different personalities 🤷♀️ My first cat didn’t like to be touched. She loved spending time near us but wouldn’t let us touch her. My neighbors cat on the other hand is clingy af.

I don’t know how anyone can foster animals. I’d be bawling my eyes out dying from sadness when they get their forever home.
I've fostered and cried over each one being adopted. I just remind myself I am not the only one who can love that adopters are full of love. The minute one foster goes out another one can come in which is one more life to save. So yeah it hurts to say good bye but remember why you do what you do. You're meant to be the temporary home until the forever home is found. It feels good to know every foster that goes thru your home didn't have to die out on the streets!
Same for me. I would not be able to give him away.
I've done it for years too! Very rewarding work. Thing is, that when a cat is adopted out, you have room for new kitty who needs the care more.
@@mircat28 last year I viewed a cat at a foster home and I could not adopt the cat because the foster parents loved him already. He already had a home and I felt like I could not measure up to their expectations for an adopter. So I did not take him though I liked him. I did however take a cat from a family through word-of-mouth, who simply dumped her off at my house and took $50 from me for her. They couldn't have been very good cat parents as they never answered my request for her vet history.

I've been following them since a while before they got Teddy but for me it's that his behaviour and even his name is the same as my oldest boy Teddy. Mine is 15 and a fully black cat but grey and white Teddys story definitely is special to me too.
@@DieAlteistwiederda He knew he was being treated well, and he appreciated every human who was there for him. You just know a cat like that is thankful in his own way. I've had a few cats just like that, and my last one, Theo, lived to be 20 years old. Now, Angel, my current rescue cat, is 18 and a half years old, and you wouldn't know it. It's just so satisfying to have her in my lap or on my side or chest with myy arm wrapped around her while she purrs. She really knows someone loves her, and even though it seems to get harder to lose a cat when he or she is released to God's Kingdom, I know another one is waiting for me somewhere. God always wanted me to have cats in my life, and I just adore them and will do whatever I can to care for them.
Rest in peace Teddy. The rescue and your adopters loved you and you will get to play endlessly with Willie.🌈🌈

Huh? The video didn't say he'd died. He just got adopted.
Unfortunately, Teddy was given a fantastic home for years but passed away after his condition progressed beyond help. Passed away a couple of months ago now.

Teddy looks like he has seen some shit. Poor thing. Hope he is doing well. Give him lots of pets from my part, please.
TRUE WORDS YOU SPEAK HE LOOKED LIKE LIFE WAS GONNA GET THE BETTER OF HIM BUT HE'S TOUGH AND LUCKY HE CAME ACROSS THESE GOOD PEOPLE, I SEE HUMANS LIKE THIS AND I CAN SEE THE PAIN LIFE HAS THROWN AT THEM, IT'S TOUGH 😇
He looked like he'd been through hell and back.
What a beautiful boy. His transformation is amazing.
When I first read your comment I read it as 'What a beautiful toy'
no no yeah I suppose it could look like that at a quick glance.
@@savipott Oops.
@@heatherstub yeah and what a difference a single letter can make
He is a God sent! Such a good smart boy
He cooperated to the fullest. He knew he was being rescued
Hamza Fatine or maybe he gave up and let it happen
No, he didn't. I understand you mean well but it really doesn't help anyone when you say that.
jamie ick I agree 😌
I found one years back like this had to take it her home.... Best find ever...was so affectionate..
He was just ready to die.
Blessings to all those who helped pay for this kitty’s operation.
Looks like he belonged to someone before. He’s very trusting and affectionate
You'd be amazed how loving some kitties are.
As loving as he is, if someone was his guardian, how could they let him go or just abandon him? Sometimes I really hate humans.
Cat he explains at 1:15 , maybe he wandered too far and couldn’t find his way back home and his owners lost him.
Yeah, I lost a cat that way myself … one day he was just gone.
I just hope he found another home.
@@Grumpy_old_Boot he probably did. I adopted a cat found down by the freeway by animal control. He was skinny, full of fleas and filthy. Vet said he was around 10 years old. He is super sweet and affectionate. Likes everyone, had him for 6 years now. Definitely not a feral cat, obviously had a home before me. Probably got lost, and like you, they are wondering what happened to him . But he is here in a great home with a loving family, and very , very happy.
He’s so calm and loving, he has definitely had good experiences with people before. This one made me tear up a little. What a great cat.
I know. I would take this precious baby any time. He reminds me of my dear, precious departed Spikey.
It made me sob!
He takes a pet like no problem!
He’s a lovely boy. So affectionate. Life has been difficult for him until you rescued him from the streets. Thank you
“It’s clear he had a home at one point” *intense crying*
awww don't cry :D
I know 😭Who on earth would throw a beautiful loving cat like trash?
@@danielsousa7860 not necessarily. They didn’t mean any harm by it.
My heart sank hard at that exact moment
@ maybe he was annoying for them?
He must have felt like he died on that street and was now in heaven. God bless you

@Stellvia Hoenheim ??? was there a need for this? why draw negativity from such a lovely sentiment?
the rat population is now at an all time high thanks to these cats being taken off the street
I started crying like 2 minutes in and my soulmate cat, Gwen, came over to see what was up. She looked from me to the screen a couple of times, then flopped down, snuggled up and watched the rest of the video with me. You must be doing some damn good work if you melted the heart of the only cat I’ve ever met who adores her human and barely tolerates the two other cats in the house…or maybe she just thought Teddy was a hunk (don’t worry she’s spayed). Thank you for all that you do. I will definitely be donating ❤️
🙏❤🙏
I used to never wanting a cat, and one day I came home from work and I heard “meowing “ . I looked at my husband and said what’s going on? His reply” that’s a cat, and he is STAYING! I went to the store to get cat food, litter, toys. The cat was given to my husband by a co worker, but I took it the vet anyway. It is a mix main coon cat , black with yellow eyes. We have not taken any vacations since 2012 and my husband is blaming me cuz I won’t leave my cat to anymore. I became a cat lady. My cat is AWSOME!
NCC1701A ( the Enterprise ) This is James T. Kirk. I feel for you Cat lady. have a nice day.
olivia AWSOME Captain Kirk! My cat’s name is Mr. Spock because of his pointee ears. You guessed it, I’m a huge fan of Star Trek.
🖖
@@Fabi1701A🖖 me too. ;-) My carnumber is 1701 :-)and it's silver. By the way, I have two rescued cats form the shelter, both with handicaps.
It’s a good decision to not go on a vacation and leaving the cat home. Even though our friends and family came over and took care of our cat, her immune system seemed to weaken and she was under a whole lot of stress, and she got ringworms right after. It had happened twice and I’ve also decided not to take on a vacation for the sake of my cat.
Don’t you have cat hotels over there? There are places that are so great for your cat that the cat would almost prefer to stay forever. It might take some searching to find heaven for cats, but it’s out there. Most of us paint ourselves as the ultimate care giver and that our cat would be miserable and suffer if we went away. The truth is that there are a lot of others out there that can give them so much attention and love while you’re on vacation. There are hotels out there that are beyond your wildest dreams, where your cats will thrive in.
You just need to find it.
His former owner must have bathed him; he cried but was not trying to escape at all during his bath.
Yeah probably.
The poor guy was really a mess. I'm sure he was stinky and itchy. Cats usually keep themselves pristine clean, but he was just too ill to do it himself. It probably was a relief.
This cat has SO much love to give.
I'd be way too emotionally attached to be a foster parent
It 'is' very hard to give up a cat after you have fostered them. I still think about one I named "Jack", who was so sweet and loving, from 10 yrs ago. But I'm sure he was adopted into a good home. You have to give them up so you can help save more. It's a rewarding cycle. ❤🐱
God created the house-animals for the human beeings. For to show us His great Love for us...and to make many people soft-hearted.
In a fallen world....as the Bible tells...People need warm hearts around.
Just so little as giving a warm thank with a smile and a little wink when cars stops by a fot-passing in the street...thats not allways happen...but when I give them a friendly attitude.
It is such small everydays-things that makes me soo happy to respond on☺😘😘
@@torilllundborn7899 You are so right about doing little things to spread love. Aim to be the person who radiates a joy and happiness to others around. The energy we give off spreads in an exponential way!
Rickson Denden my sister once fostered a kitten she found outside of her workplace and ended up keeping her because she grew attached to it. Couple months later she found another stray kitten in her friends neighborhood and instantly kept him. Now she has Azula (her dog, she adopted her bc no one wanted the runt) Niko (the first kitten) and Salom (the second lil guy, idk how to spell his name lol)
Me too
What’s amazing is just how cooperative & grateful Teddy is to everyone. Sweet boy.
Rescue cats are sweeties. My cat was found under the hood of a car as a kitten, and now I can't imagine life without him.
He walked right into the carrier knowing you would save him 💖
It's so cute
Animals are so pure hearted creatures,they deserve a better life.
Animals are God's Children and as humans we have a duty of Care.
When they’re driven by nothing but instinct, you really can’t ever blame an animal for their actions; it’s just in their nature.
That is why their hearts are pure... definitely purer than human hearts.
That’s why we shouldn’t eat them
But coyotes
@@the1tigglet humans are animals too lol
it’s so sad to think this super affectionate and loving cat was once lost outside and alone :(
It truly is heartbreaking how often cats are abandoned. Our current cat was left behind by a neighbor when they moved out. We began feeding her, and now she comes to us every day, sleeps in our bed, loves to get attention, she's the best. I don't know how anyone could toss aside these wonderful, affectionate animals.
@@WobblesandBean same here, my little Dittle was abandoned too and is now purring in my bed!
Well they said if not fixed male cats can run outside the home and roam over a mile away and get lost. We have a kitten and it is about time to get him fixed. He has ran outside a few times. We look around and he is not near the door and zoom he is outside. So far I've caught him each time. But I have started holding him when I need to let the dog out.
@@shannonm.4087 Lol... dittle is a cute name! My great Fluff was also a stray at one point. Now he's 14 lbs of pure fur, muscle, and claw from all of the turkey and chicken I share with him
dru breaks my heart to think of him out there. I’ve got three cats that were strays and got homes help for about 15 more. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. If everyone just cared and loved a little more but sadly they don’t.xx
He asked for help but he got so much more!!! I wish to thank everyone that donated to his care or vet bill! You are incredibly kind and generous!!!!!!!!!
Omg look at how he lays in the arms of whoever is holding him, placing his head on their arm 😍😘
My cat does that too when he's in my lap, and constantly wants me to hold him as a baby :) Teddy reminds me of him, very affectionate and social. My other cat is more sassy and more reserved to strangers, our boy greets everyone just like a dog does haha. But she (my other cat) is cuddly too towards me and my bf and sleeps with us and besides me at the couch, but she isn't a lap cat ;) Which we weren't expecting since she is a British Shorthair and they want to be around and beside you but usually not directly in your lap. Our boy is a mixed breed just like I assume Teddy here is :) In Swedish we call it "bond katt" or "hus katt" when they aren't a specific pure breed, which would translate to "farmer cat" or "house cat", don't know if there is any term like that in English. Now I'm rambling, but I love cats more than anything xx
TEDDY just made a grown man cry.........thankyou for rescuing him and sharing with us
x2
Made this grown woman cry too
I thought I was the only one. 👍
I almost always cry. What a sweetie and I am so glad he is getting the care and love every animal deserves. I have six cats, 4four of which I have rescued, but there are so many more needing a home.
I can't believe how good-natured he is considering all he's been through. When you see all the rotten stuff in the world, it's nice to watch someone doing so much good.
AMEN!!!
The truth is most people are good people. But stupidity and cruelty will always get publicized more.
AnIrishMusician so, so true...most people really are. And awww his new family is so awesome!
I just rescued a male adolescent cat 3 days ago. I was out in my garden and he came out of nowhere crying and begging for help. I gave him a bath and took him to the vet the next day. He is currently quarantine due to very contagious parasites. I have two cats already. This poor cat kept thanking me constantly. Every time he would go to eat food, he would take a minute to stop and come over and at least let me know that he was grateful for my help. We've a long road ahead of us but it really amazes me when these animals show up and actually ask for help. ❤ Thank you for sharing your kindness. There is another cat in my neighborhood that's got to bend over ears like this little guy which is a sign that there's a lot of health issues going on with him and possibly nights. I can't get him to trust me though. I'm picking up a big carrier so I can help more cats in quarantine them until I can find homes for them. My vet has given me discounts because I bring in so many homeless cats. Shout out to Rasnic Animal Clinic in Duffield, Va!😢
Bless you always, Tiffany! 😇🙏❤
When pets close their eyes when you pet them has got to be the cutest shit ever .cant change my mind
When they happy drool while you pet them
My brothers cat will close his eyes and if you’ve ever seen a happy tiger, that’s the face he makes and omg. It’s the most precious and I nearly cry every time he does it. He just always looks so content and in complete bliss it kiLLS Me
And also when you put your hand near their head and they rub their heads against your hand
Cats do that specifically as a communication. They use body language to communicate. In cat language that means, "I feel safe around you. I accept you. I love you"
@@klillym1461 LOOOL so true, my cat always drools when I pet him.
Teddy was remarkably calm in the bath. I always thought this was a cat's greatest fear, but he handled it so well. What a lovely animal.
When they're that dirty it comes as a relief for them. My cat fell in our pond and nearly drowned. She looked like one of those seabirds after an oil-slick. Normally she would freak about a bath, but she was really calm and just let me wash her. The bath became *completely* black. Then she let me dry her with a hair drier, something she would normally never had let me do.
He’s a Snowshoe. They’re especially sweet & gentle & mellow.
Look how beautiful his coat is!!!!!
Thank 🙏GOD🙏 for people like you.
I just adopted an amazing pure black cat that was dropped off by someone into the feral cat community here in Staten Island. Just like Teddy, she wasn’t feral, nor a stray. How could she defend herself? Someone noticed that she was not feral. She was brought into a shelter and foster home.
She is now happy and healthy in her forever home with me.
Lord knows they know when they’ve been taken care of and adopted.
Thank you so much for all that you do.
♥️Much Love From SI♥️
Cats don't like baths but this cat knew that he needs help and needs to be cleaned up so he faced his feers
Whoever owned him before may have had him used to baths. My cats have been bathed since they were very small and don't act our either. They'll meow loudly and try to get out every now and then but don't flip out and try to kill me lol.
just binged several flatbush videos in a row but this was the one that got me sobbing. his transformation from dirty and lethargic just broke my heart in two. knowing his survival hinged on the cooperation of so many people... knowing just how many people loved this cat they didn't know enough to save his life. i can't stop crying
are you saying it doesn't end well? because I was going to the comment section halfway thru and now I don't know if I will keep watching
@@brmbkl don't worry!:)
You know what? I like you. I hope you stay the way you are.
I watched but I love this one. To see his journey to so much love is educational for people to understand that These animals need us and a home.💗🏡🐾🦁🥳🍭
And now you've done me in, too 😭😅
The couple that adopted Teddy are so cute and adorable. He couldn't have gone to a better home.
"This is Miles. He requested a cameo." I just laughed and laughed . . .
me too!
Eppu63 yes, I LOVEDDD that!
My Son's name is Miles 😊💗
I don't know why I keep watching videos that make me cry, this poor baby. You guys did an amazing job, thank you.
Because you have a good heart.
PMS maybe?
Made me cry too.
When I dont have work days and I can wake up slowly. I start reading the news witch puts me in a bad spot. So I go over to YT too see some funny and entertaining videos, witch always leads to hearth warming videos. After that, I can start my day as a caring and happy human being.
😭 Same 😢💕
True cat lover: Holds cat in lap and grooms him while wearing black!
Why only black
Because colors are for casuals m8.
@@nebula3576 cat fur really shows up on black like stains on white.
SafeSpace2018 LOLLLLLL
I agree with that
Poor Teddy, he wouldn't have lasted much longer on the street. Thank you for helping him and all the other cats. I have adopted cats over the years and they have all been such loving members of the family I also give to Alley Cat Allies to help street cats have a better life.
It restores my faith in people when I see things like this. You're a bigger blessing than you may know.
Agreed
Yes, thank goodness for people like you!
