Someone reported a lost, dirty cat looking for help outside, wearing a purple collar. I couldn’t find him. So, he found me.
Franklin crossed several busy streets to get to us. I can’t imagine what his journey was like, but it’s clear he didn’t get enough food or water. No microchip, not reported lost, he had never been to the vet. Thanks to you, Franklin got the medical care, love and safety that every cat deserves. We found him a forever home that promised to love and spoil him for the rest of his days.

@rickbrenner6079 Год назад

You’re so right. Franklin is the quintessential indoor cat that got booted out of his home to fend for himself on the streets for whatever inhumane reason, and, being the indoor cat that he is, is not skilled at surviving on the streets for very long. It was a miracle this kind gentleman found and rescued him just at the exact right time. Franklin is so sweet💙.

@@jamescameron1861 Please be sure to microchip your new kitty, when you do adopt again. The recovery rate is very high for lost pets, around 95%.

We adopted our cat from a rescue nonprofit. It took her close to a year to stop having food insecurity with us. She required a lot of medical interventions the first few months we had her and has permanent health problems from what she had to survive. My heart breaks for cats like her and Franklin who did nothing wrong but were still put in such a traumatic and dangerous situations.

@1940limited Год назад

Our stray cat has never gotten over his food anxiety. He goes nuts every meal time and cleans his bowl. 3+ years with no change.

@AlishaHerbiederbie Год назад

@@1940limited I had a cat like that. He was a stray and decided my mom was his person. If we brought any boxes inside or moved furniture around he would get anxious all over again and be practically glued to my mom's side. We had him for almost a decade, the sweet boy.

@woudgy Год назад

@@1940limited 11 years and counting, lol. We bought one of those mechanized feeders so he could have small portions throughout the day when we worked (and in the early morning so he wouldn't wake us up) and that first night, we could hear him pushing his paw up the tube to bat at the little trapdoor inside: "bat, bat, bat, bat, bat, bat, bat, bat..." and then the rattling sound of a single piece of kibble falling through, to be loudly devoured. Then immediately all over again, "bat, bat, bat, bat..." We went though that about three times and realized he could just do that all night.

@finleychambers7436 Год назад

Last year, I slowly coaxed a stray to trust me. It seemed like she was previously an indoor cat as she was friendly and spayed (with no ear tip). For months she would eat every last bit of food she was given, even if I could tell she wasn’t that hungry. I was so proud of her when she started leaving food behind when she was full, trusting that there would be more later!

@markfrench8892 Год назад

What a charming fellow. He definitely deserved a good home.

@1940limited Год назад

Our former stray cat has never gotten over his food anxiety. He goes nuts in the AM at feeding time, cleans the bowl so well you almost don't have to wash it, then goes around and mops up any morsels left by his siblings. He's also very good about drinking from his fountain. He's never shown any interest in going back outside even though he was outside for at least 6 months before we took him in and seemed perfectly content in the woodshed. Where he came from we have no idea. He's an indoor kitty for more than 3 years now.

@minnesotacoco5297 Год назад

I've had a very similar experience with a stray kitten I adopted. He was approx 2 or 3 mos when I rescued him. But he has serious food insecurity. He goes crazy at feeding time and even knows the movements I make or the sound of the food, bags or cans. He eats quickly and then finishes any food his big brother has left. He has no interest is going outside. I have a safe spot that I let his big brother go out and roam at least once a day, supervised. But my little rescue kitty will sit in the window and watch. I'm glad I was able to get him safely inside and I'll continue to be patient and loving to him.

@1940limited Год назад

@@minnesotacoco5297 This sounds like a situation very similar to our former stray. It's not a problem for us. He gets his food and is doing just fine. He loves to be warm and indoors. All of our cats are indoor kitties but we have two ferals that come around which we also feed.

Nice cat. He was so eager to be taken in. It gave me a twinge to see that while he was going into the carrier on the street the cats behind him and to his left were curious enough to try to join in the rescue -- and one, the tuxedo looks like an almost-friendly.

@lynnmartz8739 Год назад

One of my 6month olds got a bit concerned about the stressed kitty sounds. We lost our Oskar in August, he was the one I had to turn off the volume any time a kitty sounded stressed. Oskar would jump up on my lap ready to defend even an unknown kitty, he'd even start grabbing my hand. Any time I'd have to take another cat to the vet, the first step was to lock Oskar in the bathroom. He actually put holes in me whenever I omitted that crucial step, in his attempt to 'save' the other cat. RIP Oskar, defender of kitties and oh so very adorable 'roadkill' poses.
