@@koi.in.pond3149 why would tax money be part of your question? Seriously?

@@koi.in.pond3149 You're wrong dear. No cats own me at the moment. I may get 1 or 2 some time in the future. So I ask again, why would you ask about tax money? It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

@@koi.in.pond3149 the issue is that one of the first questions you asked, you sounded like a q anoner, worrying over if your tax were going towards this. It's just....distasteful. I'm not accusing you of anything, but I felt the same about your comment. Ppl don't usually watch these uplifting videos about animals triumphing against such odds in order to be political. I get that they would've died without help like you said...I just don't understand why you would bother watching something like this, then.

I second that! Thank you so much to all y’all earth angels here to save animals. Especially, a big thank you to the helmet maker! This person needs to be known for is noble act.

Its almost like he doesnt try to remove it because he knows its there for his safety.

To be fair, they do say that they went through several designs before eventually settling on this one. Trial and error, in other words.

@@sforza209 What do you mean just a 3D Printer? A saw, a hammer and a chisel don't make you a carpenter, nor does a 3D Printer make you an engineer. The person had to design this in CAD, an he even thought about ventilation.

​@@JoeDirtisawsomeSo these kittens have more inner strength than you? That's the sad part, for you. smh

i love otter and bunny.

Great update! Thanks! I care.

Not surprising, though I'm curious why they went for a titanium mesh instead of some kind of plate.

Ditto. I hope and pray Otters surgery goes well.

Me too 🙏🙏💟✝️

this is enough to make anyone cry

I’m so grateful that there are humans that steward those in need of a safe foundation to grow the rest of their life to the fullest, expecting nothing but the success of those they angel.

Eat some meat soy boy

Maybe, in fact, Mother Nature gave these little kittens a "yes" :)? After all, we, humans, are a part of nature and evolution takes place in all aspects. Survival is not only instincts or biological factors, but also conscious efforts and decisions? The mother of kittens had no tools to save her babies, so she decided to leave them and end their suffering as quickly, as possible - they would not survive living as stray cats and she knew it. But then a human found them and decided, that they can help thos little babies, because there might be ways for them to survive and live a happy live. Mother Nature is really wise nad kind.

@@kasianowak6142 No honey, Mother Nature doesn’t work like that. HUMAN NATURE and wanting to help, does though! A weak, disabled animal does NOT normally survive. Those WEAK animals are usually food for other animals so the strong can live on. Weak genes does NOT make a species live on but in all reality, can and eventually will, make a species go extinct. That’s why animals have instincts (via mother animals rejecting/killing/abandoning their young). HUMANS helped this animal, which I’m happy for. “Mother Nature” had nothing to do with it.

Yep,I have tremendous respect for her,

Maybe that's what humans are for -- saying no to Mother Nature and yes to unconditional love.

@@lucialamprey2690 Hopefully at least some humans.

What a caring soul you are! My Mum was born with a congenital defect, back in 1915, and her family spent her childhood telling her what she couldn’t do! Thankfully, she didn’t listen to them too closely, but married, and had me. She was the best, most loving Mother that anyone could have had. With her ‘problem’, she was also incredibly empathetic towards others who had ‘issues’. I’m also a ‘pussy person’, and have been blessed by being chosen on a number of occasions. There’s nothing better than pussy-cat love!

@katiedoucet4748 - These little guys may have been adopted by now, so tuck this infor away for the future: I have heard of teams of people who volunteer to shepherd animals across distances to their new homes. They operate in a tag-team way - the 1st person drives, say 30 miles and meets up with the 2nd person at a diner or a mall who drives another leg of the trip, etc. The generosity is amazing. Perhaps this kitten rescue woman has contact with such a group or the local animal shelter does.

Absolutely correct. I wonder if angels in heaven will not tend to our wounds as kind people do to animals here on earth.

They aren't only incredible with the care, love and support of the fosters, especially the special need ones, but have hearts of steel to withstand the heartache of separation when adopting them out. Such blessed souls.

Seriously. People who REALLY look out for those weaker than them are the people we should be listening to. Not the bogus political parties who kill the environment and lie about it.

And at the same time, they dress in skins that have been flayed from animals, lie down on sofas made of leather, and eat hamburgers :))))

we are like animals to angels. imagine how much more intelligent an angel would be compared to a human. they probably view us like pets

They are so amazing!

Oh, so heartwarming that theres caring people still out in the world. I hope the person that made his helmet can make another one as he grows bigger. God Bless you all!!

Now if only people could be this kind and invested on other people

@@KINDaf Yes, but the complexity of wants and needs in a human makes that possibility much more complex and unpredictable. Animals other than humans, for the most part, are much more straightforward when it comes to their "hierarchy of needs". But your goal is a good one, and one that is worth practicing every day.

@@merylew4969 Thanks 😊

You have to think of it like this, the more you let go to forever homes the more fosters you can bring in and it's those fosters who truly need you. Once a foster finds their forever home your journey with them is complete, but so many new ones await you and need you.

My Issue Is If A Kitten Is Bonded To Their Friend, They're Bonded To You As Well... That's Why I Don't Like Foster Homes, It Feels More Like You're Giving Up Your Kids, And You Can't Guarantee They'll Get The Same Level Of Care. I've Unintentionally Rescued Every Cat I've Ever Loved. I Can't Even Think Of What They Went Through Before I Found Them, Some Of Them I Know Their Back Story & My Current Rescue Kitty Was Locked In A Closet And Kicked Outside (Literally) We Rescued Him From A Basement On A -14° Winter Day. He's Been With Us Over A Year, And After Two Weeks I Couldn't Have Let Him Go. He's Bonded Alright, To My Husband And I.

I'd have the other problem. A former first responder, coming across critical situations never bothered me, but a kitten in distress or with such a health problem and I fall to bits!

@@StarfireReborn Totally agree😻

@@StarfireReborn My point exactly.

I hope they are adopted together in their forever home.🥰😺

I have had two animals who both had to have a limb amputated. One at 12 years old from cancer and another at 3 years old from a broken leg. Both adapted and thrived after they healed despite missing a limb they used to have. Animals are so amazing!

Yes their brain hanging out is completely normal. The mom left them due to them having deformities. It is nature and that's what should happen.

@@koi.in.pond3149 No harm in helping a cat.

@@grylltheonion I get ur point. But sometimes animals are put before people now days.

Those babies don't even know they are any different, they in themselves are so inspiring!

I have a cat with similar front leg deformities. And he is the most loveable cat I have ever had. He stands up on his hind legs cuz he wants hugs. He's about 5 years old now and does everything a 'normal' cat does. I just feel awful for him when he jumps off the counter cuz it sounds painful. I help him down as much as possible.

@@joekingsley7642 oh me goodness!! Soo cute!! 🤗

I think that makes me cry even more for some reason.

They don’t even know or think anything is wrong with them. That’s why I love animals. They just live in the moment 🥺

Thisss!!! I want to see everything about them, i want them to stay in the spotlight so everyone can be updated and hopefully no one will ever hurt them!!

I wish I lived there I'd have them both....one of my cats has exactly the same condition as Otter. She is now eight years old, she doesn't wear a helmet but like Otter, she is completely normal. She is amazing, and loves playing with her mum and brothers and sisters.

🧡🫶🧡🫶🧡

Agree! God bless them!

Omgoodness, YES. I want to be able to follow these two curious as well !!

I do still think its sad... Nobody should ever have problems like that but its great that theyre life is so full of love and care.

The Sad part for me was that they where tossed away in the street Just because they had abnormalities And because I remember about the litter I rescued years ago, one of them had this fucked UP paw, they where 3, found in the cold streets, sadly the cold probally gave them a pulmonar infection, and because I was (am) piss poor I couldn't Really check them at the vet, then they died, Just because I'm poor, It sadness me knowing that I couldn't save them, hurts a lot.

Those little guys have no idea that they are any different, they are just happy 😁

@@schwartzy65 I’m disabled, & I gotta be honest it sucks to know when ppl see me that it makes them sad. It could be inspiring to know life & happiness persevere in the face of pain & adversity, but instead you choose to be sad when you see animals & ppl like me… now THATS sad.

@@CalamityJenJones, I’m 38 & have really bad rheumatoid arthritis & serious ankle damage in both ankles. I’ve had a wheelchair for over 4 years. Sometimes when I go out in public in my wheelchair people look at me with pity. I just smile & wave back. Most people smile back when they realize, just because I’m disabled it doesn’t mean I’m unhappy all the time. Animals don’t even realize they are different sometimes. I’ve been disabled since I was high school. I had undiagnosed & untreated arthritis. Then I fell & really messed up my right ankle. Over time & years in retail I messed up my other ankle. A friend told me she really admired how I handled my arthritis & how I didn’t let it stop me, get depressed or have a pity party. I mean it sucks sometimes & I was really mad at the doctor who misdiagnosed me for years, but I’ve accepted it, I’m proud to represent disabled people & show people overall I’m happy & you just learn to adjust. I miss being able to run, play sports & other things, but I hardly ever think about that stuff. More often I think how much I love my wheelchair & I have so much fun in it. My 5 canes & my wheelchair have made my life so much better. Also, my life is pretty great.

It truly is beautiful, I'm crying 🥺🥰✨

Every animal deserves a chance to survive. It’s so refreshing to know there are so many beautiful compassionate human beings in this world. Unfortunately we all have to deal with all the idiots in this world like the insensitive ones that leave asinine comments 😡

I do that, too! I have rescue/adopted several FeLV/FIV cats, in the past, because they are still automatically euthanized if surrendered here. I have never been able to place one, but have sent some special needs cats to the No-kill shelter. I put them on a list right away, and they go when it comes up. It has taken over a year, but I’d much rather keep them for that time than see them go. If they become inseparable from one of my cats or with me, that’s when I adopt. A few have got sick and died before going up for adoption, but I give them the best life I can for as long as they have (never had more than 2-3 fosters at once, except kittens, and I don’t keep more cats than I can care well for). I have had to go smaller scale in a smaller home, but it’s nice to see others doing the same! Have worked with behavioral, FLUTD, GI, and many health issues. I agree that we learn so much from exceptional cats! My cat who just passed had chronic, terminal kidney disease for years. He often could tell me when I was sick, before I I knew. I have autoimmune problems, and he’d demand I go to bed, and not leave my side til I got better. We both got chronic UTIs, and he would “diagnose” me (as you know, cats have highly developed senses we don’t). After he pointed this out with insistent meows, I would get symptoms within 1-3 days, so I started just going to the doctor when he called my attention to it. He told me when a cats had an illness, and when my dog had cancer. He sniffed his mouth and gave me the “this animal is seriously sick” look and insistent meow. Vet was seen, and it was oral carcinoma. Thanks to him, we could try treatment and have time to say goodbye. So glad to hear from you, and about your efforts!

@@sciencenotstigma9534 wonderful. I can’t do it anymore but I think I counted about 100 kittens I fostered. Rarely had only a few. Had their own room. Just a few were special needs . Almost everyone got adopted. I took pictures all the time and made each a little album to go back with them to the shelter to get adopted. People really liked them. Tried to make them as special as possible. Of course kittens usually get adopted fast. I took several older cats home when they had been there awhile or had some problems. I like traded fostering with the adoption fee. Made it more affordable for me and gave those older ones a home. I really miss them all

This was my first thought when I clicked on this video!! Like why can't people love their own disabled?? Its so much easier to sell a special needs cat than a human. I spent my summers in high school working ESY (extended school year) for autistic elementary kids. We were always shorthanded on staff and the pay not so great. Not that animals don't deserve care but a well adjusted downs kid or autistic kid could grow up to take care of a foster animal. Its just doesn't make sense to not financially focus on strengthening the human population. Sorry for writing you a novel lol I just really agree with you. You deserve love and support from your community

It was just natural selection of nature.

Nobody abandoned them. When she said "they waited for mom to come back" she was talking about the mother cat. The proper thing to do if you find kittens is to keep an eye on them and wait for a while to see if the mom cat comes back for them because sometimes it's just a simple case of the kittens being accidentally separated or the mom cat is simply out hunting for food and the kittens strayed from their den. So they did that but the mom cat never came back, so they took the kittens and gave them to this lady since they had special needs. So it wasn't a person who abandoned them.

@@TalkingHands308 Don't bother my man, the comments in these videos just want a person to be angry at no natter the circumstances.

@@TalkingHands308 I knew u didn't abandoned them. I was just saying for those who do. Either way I'm glad there's people out there that do take care of animals that are lost.

@@lindadaugherty8890 Oh I'm not involved in this at all. The two kittens were turned over by someone else entirely. I was just clarifying what she meant when she said that the "mom" never returned and that it wasn't in reference to a person, but the actual cat mom, lol. But yes, I agree with you, people shouldn't abandon their pets. But at the same time, you really have to look at things on a case by case basis. I've seen some cases where the person was forced to move and the new place they were moving to didn't allow pets and other situations like that. But then there are those who just selfishly abandon animals, so there are different cases...
