  • Little Bear was abandoned on the street until some kind neighbors took him in. Enjoy his journey to the good life!
    In this video we talk about the reason why many cats are abandoned, and how improving access to affordable and accessible spay/neuter programs everywhere will result in fewer cats like Little Bear ending up on the street to begin with. We can't rescue or adopt our way out of this problem. Please support proactive spay/neuter and TNR programs in your area.

      Pythonaria We don’t know that. Many people in Brooklyn live well beneath the poverty line. As they stated in the video, there aren’t any permanent low cost spay/neuter clinics in Brooklyn, leaving many poor families with no means of paying for the operation, afraid of eviction because neighbors are complaining about the smell of a spraying cat or the howling of a female in heat. It’s not an excuse for putting a defenseless animal out in the cold, but it’s a reason why it happens

Fast forward to a year ago and I caved in to my kids asking for a pet kitten. 4 months after getting my 3 month old kitten I ended up getting another kitten. They’re awesome and super cuddly. They’re extremely affectionate and my little play buddies. My friends all make fun of me for how much i talk about them and send pictures of them to everybody lol. My cats names are Rocky and Zoey 🙂

He's got such a lovely personality. You're so right about cats needing exercise. My furbaby is 19 years old and, sadly for me, she's got renal failure. But, she still has what I call her "mad half hours"!!! After breakfast she takes off and runs around the house in a circle, chases her tail and plays with her toys for exactly 30 minutes. Then she comes over to me and lies in my lap looking at me as if to say: "Aren't I amazing"??

      After decades of only having female cats, I got my first male Tuxie five years ago. I was startled at the difference in physique from the girls he showed - more muscular, stronger chest and legs, and his forepaws were totally different: Not only were the claws much larger and thicker, the "fingers" themselves were larger and longer by probably 25%. And where the girl's "thumbs" are almost vestigial, his are right out there and he uses them as much as the "fingers" for gripping and clawing. I should note that he's not an especially big cat otherwise - our middle (in age) Tortie is longer and heavier... but his "maleness" is still very evident when you see them side-by-side. I now find it pretty easy to identify a male cat from a female without looking at their rear ends. :-)

    One of the most affectionate cats I ever knew was a very unneutered brown tabby. I wanted to keep him so badly, but my parents thought two cats was enough and took him to the shelter. I hope he had found his forever home, (or the home he belonged to if he'd escaped it). I'm glad Little Bear got that chance.

      we need to get tnr programs on the epa's to-do list. reducing cat population not only prevents sweet adorable cats like this from living in the streets, but it also preserves your local ecology, which can be severely disrupted by a large population of cats.
      if you make it about the environmental issues, you might be able to pressure your state representatives to propose legislature that would give the epa a budget to fund more tnr programs

      I spoke with someone who worked at an animal shelter in mid 2000's. After the financial crisis of 2008 dragged on to '09, the '10, she told me people were heartbroken to surrender their pets thinking the shelter would find them a new home as they were on the brink of being homeless. Even though that time has passed, and the economy is booming, I see examples of people still on a paycheck to paycheck existence & one financial emergency away from dire straits. The most recent Govt shutdown where unpaid employees were lining up at food banks after 3weeks, that speaks volumes to me. I never judge, but I do correct people who honestly believe that cats are these self-sufficient creates who can easily adapt to being dumped.

    • @mercygrrl
      @mercygrrl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @ShariSez1 I am in *complete* agreement. Furthermore, pet owners who rent grapple with increasing costs here in H-town as landlords apply monthly fees in addition to the standard pet deposit. There's a lot of new mid/high rise inventory being offered at promotional offers & teaser rates, but when the lease is up & the pet owner has to move, there is a scramble to find new housing at a similar price point.
      Right now on my Yahoo page: *Millennial wealth is still lagging behind previous generations at the same age.* "Millennials own 4% of all U.S. real estate at the end of last year, compared with 12.9% for Gen X when they were at the same age in 2002. Boomers held about 32% in 1990 when the middle of the generation was around 35."
      Just recently on FBC instagram, there were 2 surrenders [Sima & Oscar] due to a "mean landlord" It's more complicated than people realize. And for all our social media outreach, pet owners struggle to find someone in their immediate inner circle who can help them out & offer shelter until things are stabilized.

We made sure to get her vaccinated, neutered and she even has a microchip.

In another month she'll be the 2 lbs required for neutering. She stays with my SIL and MIL plus her kitty who's 6 months older. From a lounge lap kitty to Olympic gymnast contender was the transformation. Lol. SIL claims having a "little sister" is the best thing to have ever happened to her kitty. We think SIL is the best. ❤️

      This popped up in my view list again. Rewatching, aw, gosh, kitty. --- I've now lived in an apt. for several years, enough time to see how rough it is for stray cats around the apts., and enough time to see a few strays come and go. I'm handicapped, so I can't do as much as I want to help, budget's bad, and getting rides can be hard and slow. (My younger cat is way overdue to be spayed, neutered.) The strays, anything from left outdoors, formerly house cats, to fully feral, face a tough life and bad hazards, including cruel humans, both adults and kids. I miss a couple of strays who have disappeared. I've learned a lot, good and bad. My current two cats are both rescues from the parking lot here as kittens. So it's good to see cats like the one in the video getting rescued and adopted, discovering they can be loved and have people and homes again.
