Fred and Ginger were born with a congenital issue that made it difficult to walk. So we named them after dancers, and did what all fosters do - help cats find their footing!

I started watching these videos in 2020 during Covid, and I would cry about orphan kittens and my powerlessness to help them. Now, a little more than a year later, I watch these videos with a whole different feeling as my second foster kitten runs around on my lap. Thank you for producing the content that has motivated me to try to make a difference for them, but also a difference for me.

@CharlotteIssyvoo 2 года назад

What fun narration on this one! When my 21 year old cat died, our other elderly (but less elderly) cat cried and cried for him, so we got him two rescue kittens, a brother and sister. Though he's always been a very grumpy cat, he was completely smitten with one of his new kittens. They'd chase each other in slow motion, which was just his speed, though not hers. He's slowing down even more now, so no more games of chase, but now he cleans her and cuddles with her, things he'd never done with any cat before. It's pretty adorable.

I started watching your channel over a year ago. It ignited my passion for the TNR side of rescue. I went and signed up for TNR class because of you. Since then I have TNR'd a whole colony, found homes for many feral kittens, and helped educate people on spaying/neutering. All together I have helped 15 cats! I hope you know I give you credit for this as well, these videos really inspire me!

Respect to solo kittens. I would never forget my first ever foster of a kitten. That night i lost 3 gallon of cooking oil, 5 liters of unused cat litter, a fresh bowl of spaghetti but obtained a visit by a friendly but annoyed neighbor living downstairs due to midnight noisy kitten flying issues.

@lisah-p8474 2 года назад

I'm in physical therapy right now and I don't think I'll be quite as agile as Fred and Ginger when I'm done, but it sure made me happy to see some special needs kittens given a second chance. ♥️ I've also got a tremendous case of kitten fever and as soon as I can get around a bit better I'm already planning on fostering through my local humane society.

@sherriross4785 2 года назад

I saw that on Kitten Lady too 😻 "Pitbulls and Paroles" also had 2 puppies on that were born with this. They built a small wooden shoot that encouraged them to walk upright and teased them with wet dog food to move forward. They eventually started to walk correctly and were adopted!!! 🐶🐾🐶

@benw9949 2 года назад

I first saw kitten swimmer syndrome covered by one of Kitten Lady's videos. Without coverage by her and you, and probably by folks like Chris from Cole and Marmalade, and Jackson Galaxy, we wouldn't have much information. Thanks, Flatbush Cats and other channels. Those of us who care about cats really need to know things like this in case we encounter kittens and cats who need help who have things like this. The foster carers and cat lovers and veterinarians on RU-vid really do us and each other a good service and education, right along with the cuteness. There are plenty of not so cute and fun things that need our attention, but those are part of the care of having cats. Thanks, guys.

@benw9949 2 года назад

Oops, I left out Kitten Academy, Senior Cat Wellness, and there are many kitten fosters, so I didn't mention them by name. But these folks really are good sources. It's so good to have these available when we need questions answered, and just to see good stuff going on. Or, yes, sometimes difficult stuff too, but that needs to be covered so we know how to handle it and what to look for.

@soulcatcher_pajome 2 года назад

Thank you for spreading more awareness about adopting kittens in pairs as well! Cats aren't single animals and the myth of the "mean, unpredictable, evil cat" half stems from people adopting a single kitten too early, so it ends up not learning that bites hurt and use humans as their personal chewing toy.

The vet clinics and hospitals don't deal with ferals, and charge phenomenal amounts for pets. There are some organizations authentically care, like Flatbush Cats 🐈. Sadly, alot are run like rackets.
