I have one of these let down cats......... he's insanely perfect. I'm almost glad they abandoned him because otherwise, I never would have gotten him. I got him at about 1 1/2 years and he's 13 now. He SO SPOILED now, but still sleeps in my arms every night. We also got 2 kittens 3 years ago and he's done a wonderful job with them.
@backlashmarket - I've been donating to my local SPCA where I got my amazing rescue cat (and actually 2 more since him) since the pandemic began. I want to make sure they keep churning out awesome kitties :)
Fools say cats don't have facial expressions. This poor creature had it all in her face--The fear, the betrayal, the loss. I'm glad she'll never have to feel those things again. You guys are great.
Ugh, this one really got to me - seeing how scared she was at the beginning broke my heart 🥺. I can't imagine how someone could lock an animal in a cage like that and literally leave her there to starve to death, by the trash cans. Thank you so much for all of the incredible work you do. She's beautiful and such a sweetheart.
This video had me crying within seconds... my first cat was also named Sima. Seeing this poor baby shake and tremple was heartbreaking. I don't understand how anyone is capable of doing this. So happy Sima got her happy end, or rather a happy new beginning.
well, they didn't leave her to _starve_ (note the cat food and deli meat in the carrier), but it's still super messed up and, in my opinion, straight-up cruel that they just left her there instead of surrendering her to a shelter.
@@mozarteanchaos I feel it was just a nod to their conscience though. at some point the food would've spoiled or been eaten, at worst it would make the cat sick. It was definitely a death sentence one way or the other, when the cat hadn't been found. it IS incredibly cruel.
@@catatemyname7801 good point; you might be right, there. it's good that we can agree that it's wrong either way, though. i'm glad she got rescued - i don't want to imagine how horrible her death might have been otherwise.
"It was an honor to help Sema regain her trust." OK, I have absolute respect for this gentleman's beautiful heart and hard work. You are my role model. Thank you for being my teacher.
@@brickwall6247 I could imagine running into that person and immediately without hesitation dispatching them on the spot. That’s how bad this pisses me off. I used to be a people person a long time ago. Nowadays my cats mean more to me than 99% of humans. I don’t like that I’m like this but what can I do
"Most of the time, that scared animal in the shelter has a lot of love to give. They just need to feel safe." My cat, Zebby, was dumped at my vet because of a pricey surgery (that the previous owner had a hand in causing). He still to this day is afraid of most people, but I have never had a cat more affectionate. I remember at the vet's when I saw him the first time, he hid in a corner for a good while before approaching me. After he sniffed me, he just wanted some love, and I could see the kind of cat he was. Scared, stressed, but just wanting to be safe. I've now had him for nearly four and a half years, and I can't even think of a home without him. Every night we snuggle up, him asleep on my chest or cuddled into my arm. Every morning, a squeak when he notices I'm awake as he announces it's time for his morning cuddles. Giving this scared animal a chance changed my life. He's my world.
@@camryuser He had some crystal formations in his bladder (don't remember the name, but it's a specific kind due to extreme stress over an extended period of time). The previous owner simply decided it wasn't worth spending their money on that, I guess, but all the better for him and myself! :)
I rescued 2 “feral” cats (sisters) from an animal shelter about 3 years ago now. One (who I named Mrs Freddy Krueger cause she cut us so many times) has now become a lap kitty. She’s come so far. It’s like she’s a whole different cat from once she was. I’m literally so proud of her. She’s like my child. The other one however....still won’t let me touch her, although she loves begging for my food when I have some (chicken, bacon, but mostly chicken lol) and I give it to her, but she’s still mean as hell. Lol. Starting to think I’m never going to be able to touch her and I accept that. Although I still keep trying. And she keeps running away. But at least she stopped hitting me so I guess that’s something. 😁
2 years ago me and my mom were looking for a kitten (for our other 'teen' cat), we ended up with a rescue cat who was so scared of everything, as if she had severe PTSD. It took her a long time (couple of months) to settle in at her new home. The adoption center told us that she hated being with other animals and people, however, she is now completely in love with our 65kg dog and our other 3 cats (with us a little less, but from time to time she likes to cuddle on your lap). My mom lives next to a forest where she can play and live the life she never had - she lived 4 years in a bathroom and wasn't allowed to go anywhere else. Seeing her climbing up and down the trees while walking the dog is truly amazing. When I'm older and want a pet, I'll rescue one (or more, probably) too!!
Have you taken the distant one to be checked by vets? She might actually be feeling extremely irritable from a hidden health problem like bad teeth (resorption), best to get her checked thoroughly because that might explain her behavior.
Last month we adopted a stray that was living in my In laws auto shop, she was the most loving thing ever and they workers at the shop were the ones who fed her while she was their (They found her in a car engine bay) she was maybe 3 months max and was the tiniest & most precious thing ever! Anyways we dropped her off at the shelter because we wanted her to get adopted (im allergic to cats so that's why we didn't take her right away) but in the end we felt so bad so we just said screw it and took her home. Funny thing is I don't have any allergic reactions with her since she has short hair. One of my best decision's ever :)
@@rj1344 There's nothing wrong with leaving a comment before you watch the video. Especially when you know what the content is. The title is "rescuing a scared, abandoned cat". The OP was right. The cat DID deserve better and they thanked Flatbush Cats for rescuing it.
I love this channel. I found a kitten at the Honda dealership I work at. She looked to be about 5-6 weeks old, but the Vet said at least 9-10 weeks. She came right up to me and jumped into my hands. Skin and bones. Giardia and Roundworms, fleas, the works. A meow that melted your heart. Unable to keep her in our apartment due to financial inadequacies and inexperience, we had to relinquish her to the local animal shelter. I've been visiting her every day and she's doing very well. We plan to adopt her once her spaying and vaccinations are done. We kept her at our place for three days before we realized we just didn't have the money to treat her health problems and keep her comfortable. I haven't ugly cried in years, and this opened the flood gates when the animal control officer came to pick her up. I felt like I failed her, like I wasn't worthy of that kitten's love, of which she imparted on me without question or temptation. Dont worry, Koda. I'll be back to take you home when you're ready.
It was very kind of you to take her to a place that can get her healthy. And I get the money situation. Just remember, she could become injured or ill once you adopt her. If you don't feel financially comfortable to handle unexpected vet emergencies, food, toys, etc., then it is much kinder to let her be adopted by someone that can. 💛
@@RockStarVee Yeah we thought about that and since our jobs are pretty new, (I found her on my 3rd day of work after months of being jobless) we're confident we can afford what she needs in the near future.
@@ltrs1212 We have a "Koda' not far from where I live. He's the big, orange-patched "Rodent Control Officer" at a pod of food carts. His human made several shelters for him on the property, and kept him indoors temporarily when the smoke from the forest fires got too terrible. But now he's back! Love to sip my coffee outside and see him sunning his belly a few steps away. :)
Poor girl, not surprised she needed some time to regain trust in humans after how she was treated. She’s beautiful, so glad she is somewhere where she feels loved.
She regained that trust pretty fast which makes it even harder to comprehend why she was abandoned. She must have been someone's pet and affectionate. How do you take such a cat and leave out for the trash?
@@1940limited Maybe the people who she lived with lost their jobs and most likely went to a shelter but got turned back because it was full. So they left her in a area with dense population so someone would find her.
Yeah that was a cat that was fighting hard with her instincts to be unfriendly in the beginning. Clearly she wanted to be friendly but just couldn't trust the new humans yet.
It disgusts me how people can abandon and abuse these beautiful animals. I believe they have souls, so to me it’s like the sickos who leave their baby or toddler out for the trash. 😢. Simply horrifying. It’s in sharp contrast to see this Flatbush Cats man. You have a beautiful soul my friend and I think we can all say thank you to the bottom of our hearts❣️🐈⬛😊
I got chills when you said the name you gave her meant "Treasure". She is gorgeous and an absolute treasure. The way her garbage owners abandoned her makes me so angry. They should be prosecuted.
I fostered a beautiful stray girl. I found three wonderful homes for her one after another. Each time she hid for two weeks straight and wouldn’t give the new families the time of day. When I would go pick her up she would run to me without hesitation. After the third home I realized that we belonged to each other. We’ve been together for three years now. I love her with all of my heart. ❤️
This one made me tear up and cuddle my cat close. I found Bucky at the shelter, scared to the point where he was unresponsive and unmoving. Just completely shut down. I decided to bring him home and he’s been the most amazing cat i have ever had the pleasure to be with. He’s still scared of everyone except me, my sister, and mother. His absolute love and trust in me has probably saved my life in the past.
The shot of her cleaning her new sister at the end really killed me in the best way. It was so incredibly sweet to see the way she relaxed and became so loving in the right home. Fostering really is so essential.
This reminds me so much of how my Bella was when I first brought her home. She had been adopted from a rescue for which I volunteered two years prior with her brother. They returned her because they said she was urinating on a variety of items in their home. Turns out she had idiopathic cystitis, a condition where the walls of her bladder will get inflamed causing her to feel like she needs to urinate, but not really having more than a few drops of urine in there to squeeze out. The cause is unknown, but in many cats it's stress activated. It was obvious once I got her home that she had, at a minimum, been verbally abused in her previous home. She would cower at the sound of a voice that was anything slightly above a gentle tone. It took her about 2 weeks to decide that I was not going to hurt her or yell at her. Her idiopathic cystitis cleared up, and she has gone on to become what I refer to as my velcro kitty. She is never more than a foot from me. Especially sad is that even today, 11 years into being in our home, she is still pretty afraid of my husband, who is absolutely gentle with all of our cats. She will accept pets from him, but only if I'm nearby to watch over the interaction. Further evidence that her verbal abuser was a male. Time and patience has smoothed out her interactions with the people in her life. She is an absolute joy, and deserving of all of the effort we have put in to getting her to this point. She wasn't supposed to wind up being my cat. The original owner surrendered her at an adoption event for the rescue. Coward in her crate. We knew then she was not a candidate to go into the adoption center. I brought her home, and I knew within a matter of weeks that I wouldn't be able to get her adopted because she would just be terrified through the process, so she joined the family. Best foster failure ever. And really, my only foster failure. She was meant to be a part of our family, and while I regret the two years she had to spend in a home that was not loving to her the way that she deserved, I'm grateful they returned her to the rescue for her second chance at happiness.
The adopters surrendered her brother 9 months later. he was always bolder than she was, and we tried to get him to surrender her brother at the time that they surrendered her. They refused. I do know he made it back to the safety of the rescue and was adopted into a new home. But seriously, if you're going to adopt, be willing to commit to working through whatever issues these precious beings develop. I am certain that not having her brother with her made her transition from her adoptive home to my home that much more difficult.
@@1940limited thanks! There really was no other alternative. She turned 13 in August, and in August of 2019, on her 12th birthday, she was diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Cancer. But, as feline cancers go, small cell intestinal lymphoma is among the most treatable. She takes prednisolone, a mild steroid, everyday along with a quarter of a standard pepcid AC to protect her stomach. Every other Sunday she gets an oral dose of chemo called chlorambucil. She's tolerated it really well, we have another 4 months on this treatment, and then we do an ultrasound to check to see if she's in remission. Fingers crossed! And knock on wood.
@@NOYB6930 I was adopting a cat at a local shelter, when a big gray & white cat approached me & asked me to take him home, too. I didn't think I had room for another cat & told him so, apologizing as well. He haunted me, however, so I called the shelter to ask about him. I could adopt just him, they told me, but he had a litter mate in the shelter who'd been with him for 12 years - except when he'd been adopted alone then brought back 9 moths later, citing "incompatibility" as the reason for return. His sister spent most of her time, huddled in her cage, frightened & overwhelmed. I couldn't split them up again,, so I adopted both of them. In the 4 years I've had them, Applejack has become a real sweetheart, & Ashera, a spoiled goddess. I don't regret having adopted them, as I believe that for as long as they'd been together, it would've been detrimental to Ashera to adopt only Applejack & leave her at the shelter. Every time I find them cuddled together, I'm so glad I brought both of them home. Today, February 21, 2021, Applejack & Ashera turn 17. Both are in good health & appear to have years of life ahead.
"It's also possible that they loved people very much... and were let down anyway." Yup. This is the one that made me cry. Geez, people can be so cruel to animals. To shove her in a carrier and set her out near the trash. Despicable. You are doing amazing work. Please, never stop doing what you do.

i ugly cried at the way they left her by the trash. such a sweet girl... i rescued my cat Lola a year ago and she was already 6 years old, terrified, hidden in the back of her crate. she was so afraid she didnt make any sounds for a month - now we hold conversations and she leads me to bed when its time to sleep. for these sweet cats to be let down by people so much.. ugh!
...do you eat meat, milk or eggs? Is a horse a pet? They eat horses in France, The Netherlands, etc. Can a bird be a pet? Do you eat birds? Can a pig be a pet? A cow? Think about it. Follow the truth in your own heart.
"Someone had locked this cat inside a carrier and put it out by the trash." Me: choking up, tears developing. WTF people!!! Abandoning is one thing, but keeping the animal locked up and then abandoning? Despicable. And such a beautiful feline, too. Thank you, Flatbush Cats 🐈, for all you do with diligence, empathy, kindness and patience. If only all humans had those qualities, we wouldn't have to hear the sad beginnings of a story. Only happy ones of thriving pets and responsible humans. We need happy stories now.
I know, it's completely despicable. I've seen a couple of dog rescues on Hope for Paws where people have abandoned dogs with chains around their necks. They became embedded in the dogs' skin as the dogs grew. I mean, if a person's going to do something so horrid as abandoning a pet, why not at least give the poor thing a fighting chance to survive?!
@@ritasmith4335 - I absolutely agree, Rita. People should go to jail for animal cruelty and abandonment. And they should be made to attend some type of compassion or empathy counselling.
Some people are more animal than human so this doesn’t surprise me…thank goodness for her savior..hope the thing that shoved this beautiful animal near garbage has a very garbage life
My cat was left behind by someone that moved away. She hung around the buildings but was scared of everyone and wouldn’t come to me. She would cry loudly at 5am because a lady would feed her. I finally coaxed her to my door and let her walk in. She seemed to like it, she’s been home for 7 months now.
I went to ACC in Brooklyn n adopted my Garfield!! They gave him the perfect name, orange tabby, fat, lazy , n absolutely loved food just like the cartoon cat!! His history was he was found in a garage!! He loved people n he was very clingy!! I miss him so much!! I had him for 8 years n he passed!! I was devastated!! Now I'm ready to take another trip to Animal Care and Control to find another cat!! I think adoption is the best!! I've been binge watching ur videos!! I wish I could foster, but I get attached very fast!!
Wow, this is basically the story of my Mäuschen 😍😢 She too had been found in a cat carrier by some trash bins and taken to our local shelter, where I met her about three months later. The shelter staff had named her "Maus" (=mouse) for her brownish-grey fur, and she was really shy. She didn't get along with the other cats in the big cat rooms, so she was sitting in a (thankfully pretty large) cage, but she wasn't trying to get my attention by meowing and rubbing against the cage door like the other cats - she just sat there, wide-eyed, not reacting to my attempts at gaining her interest. She seemed utterly overwhelmed by it all, having lost her old home, finding herself in this new noisy and crowded place... Seeing that I myself had just had to drop out of my job with severe burnout and had to adjust to a totally changed situation and prospects, I felt I could relate very much. The fact that I had a habit of calling any adorable animal I met "Mäuschen" (=little mouse) and she was already named "Maus" was the cherry on top. I sincerely believe we were meant for each other. So, after bullying my partner into agreement ( ;P ) and persuading my landlord to allow me having a pet, I finally adopted her. She came out of her shell somewhat as soon as we arrived home, but she was still shy and sometimes skittish. Over time and with lots of patience and gentle encouragement (and bribing with treats), she became more and more confident, first cautiously turning into a lap cat if I sat perfectly still, then fetching me and demanding for me to lie down in bed so she could make herself comfortable on my belly. She has not only stopped hiding under the bed when our doorbell rings, but has actually taken to going and checking out our visitors and getting herself some scratches from them. She has turned into a very beautiful, headstrong, peculiar, manipulative, cuddly, and incredibly loving girl. It's been a little over three years now, and I haven't regretted adopting Mäuschen for a single second. I haven't regretted all the money I've spent on cat toys she has absolutely no interest in, nor on vet visits, medications, and special diet food for her various health problems. I don't even regret the heartache of knowing that she won't be with me for much longer, or the hole in my heart that I know she will leave behind when she passes on. If I regret one thing, it is that I didn't meet her sooner and got to spent only so few years with her. She has been my faithful companion through a very difficult time, my little ray of sunshine on every single day, and a reminder of everything good and worthy in the world. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. So here's my message: do consider adopting and adult cat. It's worth it. And they deserve it.
@@1940limited Aww, thank you so much for caring. Yes, my sweet little girl had cancer - a huge liver tumour, inoperable. I did everything I could to give her the best time she could have wished for, and I think I did well. But sadly, a little over a month ago on Christmas Day her time came, and I had to say goodbye to her. As you can imagine, it broke my heart, and I miss her terribly every single day. But I have her ashes at home with me, light a candle for her every day, and I have a necklace with a little pendant that contains a bit of her ashes so that I can carry her close to my heart. She was a very special and loving little girl. And yes, I am sure at some point in the future I will adopt another cat, but not right now - her loss is still too fresh and raw, and even though rationally I know it's not true, I would feel as if I was replacing her, and I just couldn't bear that. Besides, even though it may sound crazy, I think that maybe me and her were meant to spent this limited time together: I came across her at a time when my life was in a huge and scary upheaval, and I myself needed rescuing just as much as she did. We grew close, we helped each other cope and had lots of love to give each other. And just when my life issues finally started resolving themselves to the point that I can make a new start, her life came to an end, albeit far too soon. So maybe I am meant to really start fresh, without anything or anyone but myself to think about; and once I've settled into whatever I am going to do next, I will be able to open my heart again for another cat in need of rescue. ❤
@@h0n0lulu83 So sorry for your loss. I now am in a situation where my sweet boy has lung cancer and I'm doing everything to give him his best life ever, knowing that despite that I can't change the ultimate outcome. I understand the notion that getting another cat right away can help ease the pain of such a loss but for me, its ok to allow some real time to mourn and thus honor the one you just lost - alone. Its not always about having a pet but having "that" particular pet and that particular relationship that can never be duplicated. The potential comparisons getting another cat right away might bring wouldn't be fair to that new cat. It took me quite a few years after the loss of a cat before I could fully love the one I have now and I only have him because he literally forced himself into my life. I'm positive it will and should take a very long time before I can fully love another cat when my boy goes...
She is hissing and making boundaries to protect herself from getting attached to a new human to end up being abondoned again. That's why a lot of cats that go through Sima situation end up having separation anxiety which can be shown when the owner leaves the house and the cat keeps crying at the door sometimes for hours which is so heart wrenching. Cats are so complicated emotionally but we are too arrogant to notice it.
@@justdev8965 Yes I have, it was a rhetorical question, I'm aware of that I'm not dumb or ignorant. I'm an avid true crime fan I know that there are terrible human beings out there
My boy George heard the distressed meowing and came running in to see who was making the noise, probably so he could snuggle them. Him and Spoon are the most helpful snugglebugs I've ever had and I can't wait to have fosters for them to help
oh what a gorgeous baby, look at her big eyes in that dainty little face, she's a stunner! how anyone could throw away such a sweet little thing is beyond me, and we're all so very lucky that Sima found herself in your loving hands. The world is a much brighter place with selfless and endlessly caring people like you guys
This video shows both the worst of people, with this angel being abandoned, and the best of people, with you guys rescuing her. She's such a sweetie and I'm glad she's getting the love she deserves.
Anyone who says cats are heartless should be ashamed of themselves. There are MILLIONS OF videos that prove them wrong BUT they still say shit like that . Just watching this video made me even more frustrated that people still say things like that
Heart broken to hear someone abandoned cat and throw them away just like trash. 💔💔 On the other side, Sima is the lucky one too. She has the kind people like yours to earn her trust back. ❤❤❤ Thank you 🙏🙏🙏‼️

My cat, Zebby, was dumped at my vet because of a pricey surgery (that the previous owner had a hand in causing). He still to this day is afraid of most people, but I have never had a cat more affectionate. I remember at the vet's when I saw him the first time, he hid in a corner for a good while before approaching me. After he sniffed me, he just wanted some love, and I could see the kind of cat he was. Scared, stressed, but just wanting to be safe. I've now had him for nearly four and a half years, and I can't even think of a home without him. Every night we snuggle up, him asleep on my chest or cuddled into my arm. Every morning, a squeak when he notices I'm awake as he announces it's time for his morning cuddles.
Giving this scared animal a chance changed my life. He's my world.
Thank you for changing his world
@ToxinReign; What was the cat's required surgery?
@@camryuser He had some crystal formations in his bladder (don't remember the name, but it's a specific kind due to extreme stress over an extended period of time).
The previous owner simply decided it wasn't worth spending their money on that, I guess, but all the better for him and myself! :)
@@toxinreign2626
So basically a cat's version of kidney stones? (kinda of)
These kind of people would euthanize their own mother.
😭😭😢😭😢😍😍🥰🥰💕
What pigs these people were for dumping this poor cat God bless you for taking care of her 🇦🇺💜🐈
I rescued 2 “feral” cats (sisters) from an animal shelter about 3 years ago now. One (who I named Mrs Freddy Krueger cause she cut us so many times) has now become a lap kitty. She’s come so far. It’s like she’s a whole different cat from once she was. I’m literally so proud of her. She’s like my child. The other one however....still won’t let me touch her, although she loves begging for my food when I have some (chicken, bacon, but mostly chicken lol) and I give it to her, but she’s still mean as hell. Lol. Starting to think I’m never going to be able to touch her and I accept that. Although I still keep trying. And she keeps running away. But at least she stopped hitting me so I guess that’s something. 😁
Thank you for your understanding and giving these cats a home. Many people might not want to be bothered with the one that's not so friendly.
2 years ago me and my mom were looking for a kitten (for our other 'teen' cat), we ended up with a rescue cat who was so scared of everything, as if she had severe PTSD. It took her a long time (couple of months) to settle in at her new home. The adoption center told us that she hated being with other animals and people, however, she is now completely in love with our 65kg dog and our other 3 cats (with us a little less, but from time to time she likes to cuddle on your lap). My mom lives next to a forest where she can play and live the life she never had - she lived 4 years in a bathroom and wasn't allowed to go anywhere else. Seeing her climbing up and down the trees while walking the dog is truly amazing. When I'm older and want a pet, I'll rescue one (or more, probably) too!!
Have you taken the distant one to be checked by vets? She might actually be feeling extremely irritable from a hidden health problem like bad teeth (resorption), best to get her checked thoroughly because that might explain her behavior.
Just luv ya.
give her food with your hand, that helps a lot.
Last month we adopted a stray that was living in my In laws auto shop, she was the most loving thing ever and they workers at the shop were the ones who fed her while she was their (They found her in a car engine bay) she was maybe 3 months max and was the tiniest & most precious thing ever! Anyways we dropped her off at the shelter because we wanted her to get adopted (im allergic to cats so that's why we didn't take her right away) but in the end we felt so bad so we just said screw it and took her home. Funny thing is I don't have any allergic reactions with her since she has short hair. One of my best decision's ever :)
You are a wonderful person for that
Sometimes people who are allergic to cats in general can develop a tolerance for a specific cat, or specific cats. Just a thought.
You won't regret it!
Hey that’s awesome, you should be proud. You changed the life of a helpless conscious being for the better. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Its good decisions by people like yourself... that give hope... to people like me :)
Thanks for lifting my spirits...
that cat deserved better. thank you for rescuing them.
R J ok buddy
Even if u just read the title, no one deserves to be abandoned so I thank them too.
R J you act like all his videos aren’t about saving stray cats
@@rj1344 There's nothing wrong with leaving a comment before you watch the video. Especially when you know what the content is. The title is "rescuing a scared, abandoned cat". The OP was right. The cat DID deserve better and they thanked Flatbush Cats for rescuing it.
How can people abandon whom they're sent to take care of? Beyond incomprehension!
I love this channel. I found a kitten at the Honda dealership I work at.
She looked to be about 5-6 weeks old, but the Vet said at least 9-10 weeks. She came right up to me and jumped into my hands. Skin and bones. Giardia and Roundworms, fleas, the works. A meow that melted your heart.
Unable to keep her in our apartment due to financial inadequacies and inexperience, we had to relinquish her to the local animal shelter. I've been visiting her every day and she's doing very well. We plan to adopt her once her spaying and vaccinations are done.
We kept her at our place for three days before we realized we just didn't have the money to treat her health problems and keep her comfortable.
I haven't ugly cried in years, and this opened the flood gates when the animal control officer came to pick her up. I felt like I failed her, like I wasn't worthy of that kitten's love, of which she imparted on me without question or temptation.
Dont worry, Koda. I'll be back to take you home when you're ready.
My roommate works at a Mazda dealership. He derived Koda from the Mazda design philosophy "Kodo".
It was very kind of you to take her to a place that can get her healthy. And I get the money situation. Just remember, she could become injured or ill once you adopt her. If you don't feel financially comfortable to handle unexpected vet emergencies, food, toys, etc., then it is much kinder to let her be adopted by someone that can. 💛
There is no shame in doing what you can when you are unable to do everything. Incremental progress is still progress.
@@RockStarVee Yeah we thought about that and since our jobs are pretty new, (I found her on my 3rd day of work after months of being jobless) we're confident we can afford what she needs in the near future.
@@ltrs1212 We have a "Koda' not far from where I live. He's the big, orange-patched "Rodent Control Officer" at a pod of food carts. His human made several shelters for him on the property, and kept him indoors temporarily when the smoke from the forest fires got too terrible. But now he's back! Love to sip my coffee outside and see him sunning his belly a few steps away. :)
Humans can be so heartless....THANKFULLY, the saviors like you folks are more abundant.
"It's also possible they loved people very much... And were let down anyway."
So sad
That poor kitty looked so scared. I can’t stand people that abandon animals.
Poor girl, not surprised she needed some time to regain trust in humans after how she was treated. She’s beautiful, so glad she is somewhere where she feels loved.
She regained that trust pretty fast which makes it even harder to comprehend why she was abandoned. She must have been someone's pet and affectionate. How do you take such a cat and leave out for the trash?
@@1940limited I too wonder how such a beautiful cat can just be dumped away. It's saddening.
@@nangsanbhalangblah333 If I found her Id have taken her home even though we already have 6.
@@1940limited Maybe the people who she lived with lost their jobs and most likely went to a shelter but got turned back because it was full. So they left her in a area with dense population so someone would find her.
@@Legion849 Well, fortunately, someone did find her. Just the right kind of person.
Who abandons a cat ? Like wtf. My cat is my everything and I’ll do anything for her
Man you could see the pain in the eyes of that poor cat
She loved someone once
And they did this to her:(
Yeah that was a cat that was fighting hard with her instincts to be unfriendly in the beginning. Clearly she wanted to be friendly but just couldn't trust the new humans yet.
Gorgeous sweetie. Thanks for rescuing this precious girl.
Excuse me, I now need to hug all 3 of my cats while sobbing
It disgusts me how people can abandon and abuse these beautiful animals. I believe they have souls, so to me it’s like the sickos who leave their baby or toddler out for the trash. 😢. Simply horrifying. It’s in sharp contrast to see this Flatbush Cats man. You have a beautiful soul my friend and I think we can all say thank you to the bottom of our hearts❣️🐈⬛😊
"it’s also possible that they loved people very much, and were let down anyway"

A pets love towards their human is the more purest form of love
Yes..
Both animals and people gets let down by some people...
Trauma.
Bless You ❤️
@@dw1-norskgaming923 ❤
Sad that they abandoned her in such a cruel way, unable to get out of her carrier, if she hadn't been found, she would have died!
She has such a supermodel face, high cheekbones, perfect triangle ears ♥️
Perfect fit for the catwalk.
Lol in my family we call them sport models 😻
It’s ok baby, you’re safe now x
I got chills when you said the name you gave her meant "Treasure". She is gorgeous and an absolute treasure. The way her garbage owners abandoned her makes me so angry. They should be prosecuted.
I fostered a beautiful stray girl.
I found three wonderful homes for her one after another. Each time she hid for two weeks straight and wouldn’t give the new families the time of day.
When I would go pick her up she would run to me without hesitation.
After the third home I realized that we belonged to each other. We’ve been together for three years now. I love her with all of my heart. ❤️
This one made me tear up and cuddle my cat close. I found Bucky at the shelter, scared to the point where he was unresponsive and unmoving. Just completely shut down. I decided to bring him home and he’s been the most amazing cat i have ever had the pleasure to be with. He’s still scared of everyone except me, my sister, and mother. His absolute love and trust in me has probably saved my life in the past.
The shot of her cleaning her new sister at the end really killed me in the best way. It was so incredibly sweet to see the way she relaxed and became so loving in the right home. Fostering really is so essential.
This reminds me so much of how my Bella was when I first brought her home. She had been adopted from a rescue for which I volunteered two years prior with her brother. They returned her because they said she was urinating on a variety of items in their home. Turns out she had idiopathic cystitis, a condition where the walls of her bladder will get inflamed causing her to feel like she needs to urinate, but not really having more than a few drops of urine in there to squeeze out. The cause is unknown, but in many cats it's stress activated.
It was obvious once I got her home that she had, at a minimum, been verbally abused in her previous home. She would cower at the sound of a voice that was anything slightly above a gentle tone.
It took her about 2 weeks to decide that I was not going to hurt her or yell at her. Her idiopathic cystitis cleared up, and she has gone on to become what I refer to as my velcro kitty. She is never more than a foot from me.
Especially sad is that even today, 11 years into being in our home, she is still pretty afraid of my husband, who is absolutely gentle with all of our cats. She will accept pets from him, but only if I'm nearby to watch over the interaction. Further evidence that her verbal abuser was a male.
Time and patience has smoothed out her interactions with the people in her life. She is an absolute joy, and deserving of all of the effort we have put in to getting her to this point.
She wasn't supposed to wind up being my cat. The original owner surrendered her at an adoption event for the rescue. Coward in her crate. We knew then she was not a candidate to go into the adoption center. I brought her home, and I knew within a matter of weeks that I wouldn't be able to get her adopted because she would just be terrified through the process, so she joined the family. Best foster failure ever. And really, my only foster failure. She was meant to be a part of our family, and while I regret the two years she had to spend in a home that was not loving to her the way that she deserved, I'm grateful they returned her to the rescue for her second chance at happiness.
The adopters surrendered her brother 9 months later. he was always bolder than she was, and we tried to get him to surrender her brother at the time that they surrendered her. They refused. I do know he made it back to the safety of the rescue and was adopted into a new home. But seriously, if you're going to adopt, be willing to commit to working through whatever issues these precious beings develop. I am certain that not having her brother with her made her transition from her adoptive home to my home that much more difficult.
Thanks for sharing your story
Great story. Thank you for giving her a home.
@@1940limited thanks! There really was no other alternative. She turned 13 in August, and in August of 2019, on her 12th birthday, she was diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. Cancer. But, as feline cancers go, small cell intestinal lymphoma is among the most treatable. She takes prednisolone, a mild steroid, everyday along with a quarter of a standard pepcid AC to protect her stomach. Every other Sunday she gets an oral dose of chemo called chlorambucil. She's tolerated it really well, we have another 4 months on this treatment, and then we do an ultrasound to check to see if she's in remission. Fingers crossed! And knock on wood.
@@NOYB6930 I was adopting a cat at a local shelter, when a big gray & white cat approached me & asked me to take him home, too. I didn't think I had room for another cat & told him so, apologizing as well. He haunted me, however, so I called the shelter to ask about him. I could adopt just him, they told me, but he had a litter mate in the shelter who'd been with him for 12 years - except when he'd been adopted alone then brought back 9 moths later, citing "incompatibility" as the reason for return. His sister spent most of her time, huddled in her cage, frightened & overwhelmed. I couldn't split them up again,, so I adopted both of them. In the 4 years I've had them, Applejack has become a real sweetheart, & Ashera, a spoiled goddess. I don't regret having adopted them, as I believe that for as long as they'd been together, it would've been detrimental to Ashera to adopt only Applejack & leave her at the shelter. Every time I find them cuddled together, I'm so glad I brought both of them home.
Today, February 21, 2021, Applejack & Ashera turn 17. Both are in good health & appear to have years of life ahead.
They have real love for animals and people
"It's also possible that they loved people very much... and were let down anyway." Yup. This is the one that made me cry. Geez, people can be so cruel to animals. To shove her in a carrier and set her out near the trash. Despicable. You are doing amazing work. Please, never stop doing what you do.

Omg the way she run back to his lap, she’s is so gorgeous xxx
ive had my cat 10 years and shes still not a lap cat .
i ugly cried at the way they left her by the trash. such a sweet girl... i rescued my cat Lola a year ago and she was already 6 years old, terrified, hidden in the back of her crate. she was so afraid she didnt make any sounds for a month - now we hold conversations and she leads me to bed when its time to sleep. for these sweet cats to be let down by people so much.. ugh!

"Someone had locked this cat inside a carrier and put it out by the trash."
Me: choking up, tears developing.
WTF people!!! Abandoning is one thing, but keeping the animal locked up and then abandoning? Despicable.
And such a beautiful feline, too.
Thank you, Flatbush Cats 🐈, for all you do with diligence, empathy, kindness and patience. If only all humans had those qualities, we wouldn't have to hear the sad beginnings of a story. Only happy ones of thriving pets and responsible humans. We need happy stories now.
I know, it's completely despicable. I've seen a couple of dog rescues on Hope for Paws where people have abandoned dogs with chains around their necks. They became embedded in the dogs' skin as the dogs grew. I mean, if a person's going to do something so horrid as abandoning a pet, why not at least give the poor thing a fighting chance to survive?!

Some people are more animal than human so this doesn’t surprise me…thank goodness for her savior..hope the thing that shoved this beautiful animal near garbage has a very garbage life
My cat was left behind by someone that moved away. She hung around the buildings but was scared of everyone and wouldn’t come to me. She would cry loudly at 5am because a lady would feed her. I finally coaxed her to my door and let her walk in. She seemed to like it, she’s been home for 7 months now.
My household also has a cat that was left behind. He is so affectionate I wonder why someone could leave him to the coyotes.
Beautiful girl has a loud motor!
I'm so glad Sima was able to break out of her shell. She's so sweet and cuddly 🥺
I went to ACC in Brooklyn n adopted my Garfield!! They gave him the perfect name, orange tabby, fat, lazy , n absolutely loved food just like the cartoon cat!! His history was he was found in a garage!! He loved people n he was very clingy!! I miss him so much!! I had him for 8 years n he passed!! I was devastated!! Now I'm ready to take another trip to Animal Care and Control to find another cat!! I think adoption is the best!! I've been binge watching ur videos!! I wish I could foster, but I get attached very fast!!
Wow, this is basically the story of my Mäuschen 😍😢
She too had been found in a cat carrier by some trash bins and taken to our local shelter, where I met her about three months later. The shelter staff had named her "Maus" (=mouse) for her brownish-grey fur, and she was really shy. She didn't get along with the other cats in the big cat rooms, so she was sitting in a (thankfully pretty large) cage, but she wasn't trying to get my attention by meowing and rubbing against the cage door like the other cats - she just sat there, wide-eyed, not reacting to my attempts at gaining her interest. She seemed utterly overwhelmed by it all, having lost her old home, finding herself in this new noisy and crowded place... Seeing that I myself had just had to drop out of my job with severe burnout and had to adjust to a totally changed situation and prospects, I felt I could relate very much. The fact that I had a habit of calling any adorable animal I met "Mäuschen" (=little mouse) and she was already named "Maus" was the cherry on top. I sincerely believe we were meant for each other.
So, after bullying my partner into agreement ( ;P ) and persuading my landlord to allow me having a pet, I finally adopted her. She came out of her shell somewhat as soon as we arrived home, but she was still shy and sometimes skittish. Over time and with lots of patience and gentle encouragement (and bribing with treats), she became more and more confident, first cautiously turning into a lap cat if I sat perfectly still, then fetching me and demanding for me to lie down in bed so she could make herself comfortable on my belly. She has not only stopped hiding under the bed when our doorbell rings, but has actually taken to going and checking out our visitors and getting herself some scratches from them. She has turned into a very beautiful, headstrong, peculiar, manipulative, cuddly, and incredibly loving girl.
It's been a little over three years now, and I haven't regretted adopting Mäuschen for a single second. I haven't regretted all the money I've spent on cat toys she has absolutely no interest in, nor on vet visits, medications, and special diet food for her various health problems. I don't even regret the heartache of knowing that she won't be with me for much longer, or the hole in my heart that I know she will leave behind when she passes on. If I regret one thing, it is that I didn't meet her sooner and got to spent only so few years with her.
She has been my faithful companion through a very difficult time, my little ray of sunshine on every single day, and a reminder of everything good and worthy in the world. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
So here's my message: do consider adopting and adult cat. It's worth it. And they deserve it.

@@1940limited Aww, thank you so much for caring. Yes, my sweet little girl had cancer - a huge liver tumour, inoperable. I did everything I could to give her the best time she could have wished for, and I think I did well. But sadly, a little over a month ago on Christmas Day her time came, and I had to say goodbye to her. As you can imagine, it broke my heart, and I miss her terribly every single day. But I have her ashes at home with me, light a candle for her every day, and I have a necklace with a little pendant that contains a bit of her ashes so that I can carry her close to my heart. She was a very special and loving little girl.
And yes, I am sure at some point in the future I will adopt another cat, but not right now - her loss is still too fresh and raw, and even though rationally I know it's not true, I would feel as if I was replacing her, and I just couldn't bear that. Besides, even though it may sound crazy, I think that maybe me and her were meant to spent this limited time together: I came across her at a time when my life was in a huge and scary upheaval, and I myself needed rescuing just as much as she did. We grew close, we helped each other cope and had lots of love to give each other. And just when my life issues finally started resolving themselves to the point that I can make a new start, her life came to an end, albeit far too soon. So maybe I am meant to really start fresh, without anything or anyone but myself to think about; and once I've settled into whatever I am going to do next, I will be able to open my heart again for another cat in need of rescue. ❤
@@h0n0lulu83 So sorry for your loss. I now am in a situation where my sweet boy has lung cancer and I'm doing everything to give him his best life ever, knowing that despite that I can't change the ultimate outcome. I understand the notion that getting another cat right away can help ease the pain of such a loss but for me, its ok to allow some real time to mourn and thus honor the one you just lost - alone. Its not always about having a pet but having "that" particular pet and that particular relationship that can never be duplicated. The potential comparisons getting another cat right away might bring wouldn't be fair to that new cat. It took me quite a few years after the loss of a cat before I could fully love the one I have now and I only have him because he literally forced himself into my life. I'm positive it will and should take a very long time before I can fully love another cat when my boy goes...
Some people are garbage. Thank you for saving Sima, she’s beautiful and has so much love to share.
Their eyes always give them away. She just wanted to be loved, but first she had to be scared.
We love you Sima
Poor baby she’s terrified.
I dont understand how people can be so cruel
I'll take a moment to say a prayer for all the animals who weren't so fortunate
She is hissing and making boundaries to protect herself from getting attached to a new human to end up being abondoned again. That's why a lot of cats that go through Sima situation end up having separation anxiety which can be shown when the owner leaves the house and the cat keeps crying at the door sometimes for hours which is so heart wrenching. Cats are so complicated emotionally but we are too arrogant to notice it.
This made me cry how can people be so HORRIBLE. She's such a sweet baby.
bonnie S I agree with you people are so horrible sometimes and there's no reason to leave a poor little kitty on the side of the road
Also I forgot to animal abuse needs to stop
Are you even aware of what people are capable of? Have you seen slaughterhouse footage? Or fur farm footage?
@@justdev8965 Yes I have, it was a rhetorical question, I'm aware of that I'm not dumb or ignorant. I'm an avid true crime fan I know that there are terrible human beings out there

Imagine coming on TH-cam and seeing the cat that you abandoned getting help and love
You guys are the Sima of TH-cam. Absolute treasure of a channel.
A beautiful name for a beautiful cat with beautiful people helping.
My boy George heard the distressed meowing and came running in to see who was making the noise, probably so he could snuggle them. Him and Spoon are the most helpful snugglebugs I've ever had and I can't wait to have fosters for them to help
She is exquisite. That is fear, pure and simple. My Jake acted just like that, later becoming a total booboo cuddle bug...
oh what a gorgeous baby, look at her big eyes in that dainty little face, she's a stunner! how anyone could throw away such a sweet little thing is beyond me, and we're all so very lucky that Sima found herself in your loving hands. The world is a much brighter place with selfless and endlessly caring people like you guys
Now the cat is calm not scared anymore
At the exact moment *pretend she's nuzzling your ear * came up, my dog punched me in the face 😊❤💗😍
Awwwww. She once loved people very much
She is beautiful

What cruel person would do this to an innocent animal. It's abysmal. Thank you for taking her in and caring for her.
It really makes you question humanity.
Anyone who says cats are heartless should be ashamed of themselves. There are MILLIONS OF videos that prove them wrong BUT they still say shit like that . Just watching this video made me even more frustrated that people still say things like that
I dont need to pretend shes nuzzling my ear when i have a cat that does it already
I just cannot comprehend someone doing this. Bless you for rescuing her.
