We rescued Sal and Sonny from the streets in Brooklyn, and fostered them in our bathroom until they were ready for adoption together as a pair. Every year during kitten season (roughly April - October), hundreds of volunteers around New York City foster kittens to help overcrowded shelters. If you’re wondering about the mom cat, there is a second part to this story coming soon, where we found/fixed her and discovered a few more friends at this colony.

Flatbush Cats I hate to be the “sad” person and ask this question, but how do you know there weren’t any more kittens? Do you check for more kittens in situations like these? (Love your channel, and when I have my own living situation I hope to foster as well.)

I concur wholeheartedly, I never use the possessive "my" when referring to the cat I co exist with. I suppose under human laws I own her and am certainly responsible for her. However she is her own person, with a unique personality, even is she isn't human. If nothing else I could say that I am her human, this would be a more accurate way of putting it.

Cats are superior tbh, it is our human egos that cannot grapple with this. That is why for all the many strengths we have - the things we can create and innovate - we are extremely faulty. Cats faults, if any, are more of miscommunications between the species. There r hideous, fake, cruel, and morally corrupt people - a good amount of society can induce a cringe. However, cats are perfect. Even ones with birth defects are still lovable and adorable. They don’t have the ego hang ups we humans do. They only attack us in defense, as they were taught - yet they are capable of the love most humans cannot comprehend - a non romantic love that is so good, so pure, the poets may cry and artists scream in an attempt to capture its representation. The cat - a soft, plushy creature with a face that stares straight into ur soul as a portal to heaven should. They deserve respect and love for this, and we should be honoured to have them in our lives.

@@gordontheengineswifedr.nirmal I'm inclined to agree, humans only disappoint, a cat has never let me down! That comment was well put I have to say, it encapsulates my feelings on the matter. It's a symbiotic relationship we have whereas we tend to their physical requirements (Food, shelter) while showering them with love they are just themselves and when we receive the love back it is so life enhancing. Their love is evidenced in a myriad of ways, from the way they claim us by rubbing against our legs to make us art of their lives to the anxiety they suffer when we are out for extended periods of time.

I'd just like to take a moment and thank you for these wonderfully edited videos. Your music choice especially makes it feel more naturally than other rescue videos. I hate to say it but a lot of other videos have a tendency to put in "emotional" music that leaves me uncomfortable because it feels manipulative. I appreciate that you don't do that. I also love how you also educate the viewer while also not being preachy about it. Most other videos either don't do that at all or throw too much at you. Thanks for improving not just your own community but helping others to improve their communities as well.

@Aramis3737 Shelters don't run for a profit. The adoption fee is there for two reasons: to cover the costs of medical, food, etc, and also to discourage any old rando from walking in and getting an animal. If it were that easy, abusers and dog fighters would come in droves to get animals they intended to dump or kill. By charging, it helps to make sure that only the people who are serious about wanting a pet come to get one.

This video has a very important message about fostering cats, or any animal really. Fostering isn't about the person, it's about caring for an animal until they can be given a home where they're loved. There's nothing wrong with feeling sad about having to let the animal go. Something like that is going to be difficult but you're giving that animal a forever home where they'll be loved to the fullest. Where they can be given full attention and love. Letting go of a foster animal will be hard, but at the very least you'll know that because of you, you gave that animal a completely new life.

Letting them go is bittersweet, but it does get easier. As Kitten Lady says, the goal is goodbye. I think of fostering as a safe place to land before they go to their forever homes. My job is to give them love and socializing and a few house rules. I give them pep talks when it's time for them to go: "I've raised you up and it's time for you to find your forever home now. You're going to have a whole new family who will love you forever, and I want you to be the amazing kitty I raised you up to be, okay? You're not just a pet; you have a mission: to go out in the world and be an ambassador for all the animals still looking for their families."

I'm crying cuz when I was made homeless I made sure my sweet little floofy princess ChikP was placed in the bestest home. She got a mossy slate roof cape in the woods with an older couple living among trees, stonewalls and wooded paths besides a brook with the bonus of little tigercat brother, Skittles, I rescued from the city, behind the shelter I was living. Meanwhile I got 6 years homeless the last 3 of which living in my car. And tho now I am housed, my greatest lament being unable to have a cat... prbly ever again. This after a life of having cats since I was 10. I had a long-haired MaineCoon mutt I rescued from a feral litter when I waz young so many years ago and first got to living alone. I called him Tsunami cuz of the regal way he held himself with a color and a coat so soft and floofy, unmistakable like no other there ever was and knew darn well he was esp pretty ... - and what a friendly kiiity he grew up to be... would flop on the sidewalk to let passers-by rub his belly whenever we were out front and sidle-up swishy-tail to anyone, even the mailman, imagine that. Then around age 3 he went missing and I called and whistled and hung up signs, combing through backyards empty sheds and old garages, shining a light under decks and porches and knocking on every door that would answer... but no Tsunami. My search was so tenacious i was certain if he got hit I'd at least find a trace or word of his death ... but no Tsunami Nearly 3 months had gone by and my hope was waning but still I'd make my regular loop, if only to delude myself for one more day. It was a Saturday after half day of work, I parked my truck at my home and set out on my route, when 2 blocks down and around 2 corners I came upon that old woman's house the one with the front yard flower-filled just as she was tending her garden. We talked about her flowers and plants and what a lovely day while she clipped buds and pulled weeds when suddenly looking about, I could not believe my eyes... there thru the picture window was Tsunami sprawled across the back of her couch, asleep in the sun. I'd recognize him anywhere by the face and that coat My heart skipped a beat but I held back saying only, That's a real nice looking kitty you have there... what's his name? She said, Oh yes that's Jasper, my husband's name, we were together nearly 50 years, and he showed up a month to the day since Jasper died. He's my husband come back to me... I kno because he never leaves the sight of me. I'm so lucky he came. I was so terribly lonely before then. He gives me everything to live for, I didn't know what to do with the rest of my life before he came to me. With that I gave her a hug and said, I'm so sorry about your loss but I kno Jasper is lucky to have found his way to you. It's clear you are both well-loved and meant for each other God bless you and have a wonderful day. As I walked away I turned to look in time to see her inside stroking Tsunami's fur, she lovingly smiling at him... he pushing against her hand, his eyes squinted shut They do not belong to us. The Animal Spirits know which go to who, and I was just fostering him, allowing him to bloom until his determined place was ready for him. I envision the call he received telling him it was time to leave and always wondered if, at the end of the path, he paused to give a look back - one final time To this day my heart aches and is lifted all in one.

I just came back from a trip to Istanbul. It was my first time leaving the country and I was shocked by how many outdoor cats there were! But every single one of them were so well-fed, housed in outdoor cat homes, and taken care of. Though these cats belonged to no one. It was amazing to see how the community adopted them as their animals and cared for them. It was amazing to see everyone collectively caring for all the outdoor animals

The Turkish people love animals. They leave food and water out for strays and those passing by. I wish there were more people like them because in other countries, animals are treated like garbage. There is a video on RU-vid of a cat in Turkey visiting a symphony as they were about to perform. The musicians and the audience absolutely loved it.

Just happened to watch your video and the message happened to be exactly for me, for something I struggled with the recent experiences. I work as a volunteer, have been fostering rescued cats in London UK over a few years now. I am usually happy to get the cats to be adopted but recently I have experienced extremely difficult cases to let a couple of cats go for adoptions because I ended up being more attached to them among other cats in the past. I thought I was a failure and selfish as a fosterer if I feel sad when a lovely new home was found for them, so I shut my emotions towards the other volunteers. I specially had to act happy in front of the new owners rather than sad letting them go, which can make the new owners feel bad taking them away from me. But listening to your messages towards the end I feel better... Thank you for saying it's ok to be sad, it's ok to cry...

SImiliar to how my cat "Random" aquired me. I drive truck for a living. I had parked at a truck stop to use the bathroom. When I came back to my truck there was a torn up white and grey adult cat sitting on my fuel tank step screaming at me, as if how dare I not leave the open for him to let himself in. That was two years ago, he's been with me in the truck since. He's by far the most vocal and affectionate cat I've ever had and is incredibly attached to me. To this day I have no idea why he was outside, and I don't want to know. He's in bed when I sleep, on the floor beside me while I drive, and always lays where he can open his eyes and see me. When I get fuel or have to go in to a customer he hops up on the front seat or dash and watches me either thru the windshield or in the side mirrors as I walk towards the back of the truck. He's a very good boy. He was just some random cat a truck stop. I didnt intent on keeping him, now I cant imagine not having him.

I foster cats (mostly unsocialised kittens) and I was afraid it would be hard to say goodbye. I want to say to people thinking about fostering: I haven't found it to be too difficult. In fact, a part of me is always happy because I know I've helped them get ready for their forever home. Without me they wouldn't have learned to live with humans, recovered from illnesses, had someone to advocate for them and be their voice - and this is an honour and a delightful, meaningful volunteer action you can do.

It’s heartbreaking to me how we don’t realise how being afraid of heartbreak (for the best reason, an adoption!) is a disservice to animals in need. I’ve fostered and let go. It was so hard. I’m still here, though. When I get the chance I’ll do it all again, for them.

Great video. Fostering can really be an exercise in self development and personal growth. It requires one to go beyond love based on attachment and giving in order to fulfill emotional needs, in favor of serving a bigger purpose. As much as you can grow to love one kitty that you develop deep love for over the course of fostering, you begin to realize that the next kitty you help is just as special, perfect, and deserving of love and safety as the one that came before. And that you can continue to expand your love past ownership and attachment into something broader - supporting the never ending stream of kitties needing food, care, and socialization so they can live decent lives as ferals, or be wonderful companions, enriching the lives of both cats and people.
