He's taking his time, enjoying the feel of his new bed. THANK YOU for giving him comfort and love!!! He will lie down when he wishes. He wants to enjoy. And, his joints may be a bit creaky!
Mine 3. Well 4 actually. Persia and maya unwanted kittens. (passed) then Ruby and nova homeless and abused all from the same charity shelter. Don't buy, adopt and be fantastico🎉
What happened to this cat parallels how society treats men. The late Thomas Wolfe wrote about it in his last novel, "You Can't Go Home Again," which dates all the way back to 1939, long before the Equal Rights Amendment came along. Women are hell bent on destroying men. Gender bias (favoring females) is rampant now. I'll end by saying you'll see a lot of homeless men who are in worse shape than "Rufus." It's a rare sight to see a homeless woman, though.
Me too! I got shelters with straw for the uncatchable cats in my area and feed the ferals twice daily. They are using the shelters, I'm glad to say, I raised them up on pallets to better insulate them. I rescued an adult cat about 3-4weeks ago now and he is asleep on my windowsill. I would have the outside ones if they let me near enough (despite having fed them for years) one has been in with me and a couple of cat loving neighbours and knows he is welcome but rarely stays more than a night with anyone. Its a concern but I do have contacts if any of the uncatchable ones needed veterinary care that I couldn't provide through meds in food etc., that would cage trap them. I don't want to scare them out of the garden though as I know they are well fed, sheltered and seen 2 x daily.
That is the hardest thing for me working at a spay neuter clinic that is attached to a shelter, I want to take all of the seniors home! Breaks my heart to see them in there
Aaaaawwwwwww, the love in his expression face eyes, he is loving that bed, and his purring he is so content, his gratitude is emanating from him. I send rufus bundles of love and tender gentle cuddles galore. Rufus you are a Good good boy, you are the best boy that ever there is. 😺😸😹😻😽🤍🩶🤎💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷❤️💔❤️🩹❤️🔥💕💞💖💝🙀🎖🏆🏅🥇✨️🌄🌅☀️🌝🌞⭐️🌟🌠🌌❄️❄️❄️
Hey there little buddy, you are so so beautiful my little friend. I wish you much warmth, fun and affection shown to you. Enjoy your forever home my furry wonder 😊❤😢😢❤😊
🥹 God Bless you for giving Rufus a loving home he definitely looks so happy in that nice big comfy bed ....kitties are truly amazing he will live his best life because he has his loving family 🐾❤️✨️🐱🥹🌅🐾
I adopted a senior girl last Xmas. She's curled up here on my shoulder purring loudly and holding my arm tightly to her chest. She'd had little human interaction but has adjusted. Now she can't get enough affection. I hope she has many years to go.
It broke my heart, he must be in such pain, the slightest movement must be excruciating and yet he is still able to enjoy probably the first bed he has ever had 😭😻 !
Rufus looks near identical in markings/colour/even the face shape kinda to my own kitty who is 21 years old (and still going strong). Such a precious little guy, I hope Rufus knows nothing but love for the rest of his life. ❤
Omg I got a senior too! She has like 10 pillows and Sherpa throws everywhere. She also has a $300 stroller so she can examine her neighborhood kingdoms!
Wasn’t expecting to cry today, but here we are. This was beautiful. I am so happy that he has found someone to show him human compassion, for the rest of his days.
I almost didn’t watch this because I took one look and knew he came from a life of horror and hardship. I have seen cats like that and not been able to do anything for them because my life was not my own. I am so happy that Rufus was saved and whatever remains of his life will be much better and softer with food and love.
Cats I've had have sometimes liked to do biscuits standing up for a while before they lay down, I think that in itself feels good to them, and because it reminds them of feeding as babies it puts them in a meditative state. He's a little kitten again in this moment, it's not just the bed that has been gifted to him but innocence again too.
It's heartbreaking to see a cat in such poor condition, but at the same time, I am so grateful that good people have him now and he has that beautiful soft bed to sleep in. It's like it took him so long to realise how he could settle down in it and it was his to sleep in. Bless him. I hope he has a long retirement of being treated like a king.
Just when you think your heart can’t be broken any more someone goes and breaks it wider; now if only I could get my eyes to stop leaking I could type this darn comment… thank you ❤
You know I had never connected air biscuits with his momma belly. That is wild seeing this old cat going That far back in his mind. I'm sure Rufus would have shed a tear if he could. A tear of Joy
@@allenlindsey1175 Yes, when they were little, and nursing they would knead to help the milk to flow. They do that when they feel safe, secure, and happy. Warm fuzzies.
I got 2 dog beds for my cat when a woman's dog passed. They like blankets. Put a blanket for Rufus. He will love it. Bless you for being so kind to Rufus.
I'm crying, seeing the little guy who cannot believe it, having such a comfy place - just for him, just to lie down, to rest the weak body... Thank you so much, for making him a dream come true he never even knew, that it existed.
Care for the older creatures is a mark of a civilized society, animal or human.
Amen ❤
Please let me know he's okay.
Yes! Respect is important, too.
@@a.w.thompson4001 absolutely

Rescued is my favorite breed.
Mine too😻😻😻😻

Yamán😻, Melek😻, Gray😻 and Lily😻
I agree. Rescued animals never forget, their love is unconditional. ❤️♥️😘🥰😻🙏✝️
Put that on a t-shirt and I'll buy it!!!
The moment he relaxed, curled up and settled in was priceless. Thanks for giving him comfort and companionship in his final years.
You’re worth your weight in gold for all you’re doing for that little fella. Wishing him a full recovery❤
Old fella who has been down a long, hard road, finally getting to rest in clean, comfortable bed. Thank you, so much.

I 100% agree with you Good Sir.

He looks so shocked! and so happy - I think you can hear him purring.
Made me cry with happiness with the way he was kneading... "Soft... warm... and for... me?"
Me too. What a sweetheart. Imagine what that bed would feel like for him. 🇦🇺💖🐈
Please give this cat a comfy blanket 🙏❤

@ What an incredible difference you make to these Cats lives. Setting us all a great example of how we can all contribute in our own communities. 🐈😀

Oh. My heart. Poor sweet baby.
Nothing that can make a grown man cry like people showing love and compassion to animals in need.
Oh Rufus you made this 53 year old man cry. I sincerely wish you the best rest of your life possible.🐾
Dude that’s funny. I was also born in 72 but I’m not balling. I swear I’m not🤥
🍀👍💚Bless you sir,for you have good heart
@@ParkerQualityControl Everyone's different man. I was born in '60 and I could cry anytime I see an animal abused or neglected.😢
@@ntvypr4820 I was playing tough guy. Of course I wouldn’t tear up over a cat. 😂😂
60 year-old here, and same. 🥲
Poor guy... My pampered 18 year old cat sends her regards and warm wishes....
I'm not crying tears of joy... I have something in my eyes!
Now I have to add another Internet cat to my list of favorites. Love you Rufus. I will stop by every chance I can to see how you are.
So sad, and beautiful at the same time. Then to see him lay down in such comfort brought tears to my eyes. How absolutely wonderful. ❤️😻❤️😊
Rufie looks like he's been down a long hard road. Glad to see him enjoy his new (first ever) bed. Very nice.

this poor cat can't believe this bed is for him... standing in disbelief....it's heartbreaking🥺. Thank you for taking care of him!..God bless you!...
He’s obviously aged and so standing probably because getting down may be painful for him due to Arthritis. My own Cat does this and he’s almost 20!
Heartwarming for me, not heartbreaking. I’m so glad he’s getting the care he needs.
I know right 🥺💖
Yes, it was humbling to witness...🩵
@@joanthomas6337morphine for cats…no pain stay happy all the way
That poor baby, hopefully he will have a wonderful rest of his life.
Blessed are those who protect, defend and safeguard the weak, fragile and helpless.
Rufus looks like he cannot believe his luck and happiness. All the best to you Rufus.
Thank you for being kind
Old rufus is tired happy he can rest now
That was so sweet. He’s a precious old man. Thanks for loving him.
2:47 That's right beautiful Rufus, you can rest now.
I love how you just let him take his time and did not interfere with his process. Just talking to him in a gentle way.
What a sweet boy. Thank you for taking such good care of him.
I hope Rufus gets to make tons of biscuits in his lovely soft bed. Bless you all, dear Rescue Angels ❤
Hey there little buddy, you are so so beautiful my little friend. I wish you much warmth, fun and affection shown to you. Enjoy your forever home my furry wonder 😊❤😢😢❤😊
Poor little darling. I wonder how many eyes passed over him before he found a kind heart?
Awww, poor little guy. Thank goodness he has a bed now!
🥹 God Bless you for giving Rufus a loving home he definitely looks so happy in that nice big comfy bed ....kitties are truly amazing he will live his best life because he has his loving family 🐾❤️✨️🐱🥹🌅🐾
You deserve all of the cosiness in the world, Rufus. ❤
This old man deserves a kind loving person like you. thank you for what you are doing!
Thank you

Aw….most of my 10 kitties were once “feral”….they just needed love and patience and now they are love bugs
It broke my heart, he must be in such pain, the slightest movement must be excruciating and yet he is still able to enjoy probably the first bed he has ever had 😭😻 !
You are such a beautiful person helping this precious creature -- very moving.
Poor buddy,he looks like life may not have been so kind to him before😥.
This adorable cat can’t believed that his new bed is big and
soft! Thank you for your love, care and concerns!❤️
Oh Rufus… your very first bed in all of your years… ❤❤❤❤
Always wonderful to see kindness in our cruel world. Bless you for helping Rufus.
Rufus looks near identical in markings/colour/even the face shape kinda to my own kitty who is 21 years old (and still going strong). Such a precious little guy, I hope Rufus knows nothing but love for the rest of his life. ❤
That poor gorgeous sweet cat. Life has been cruel for him. I hope he will be able to relax now and receive all the love and attention he deserves x
He has had a rough life. He deserves that bed!
Thank you so much for rescuing him. Hearing Rufus purring and making biscuits is so heartwarming ♥️♥️🙏🙏
Thank you ❤
Knowing you made an animal happy is just the best feeling.
Truly, it is!
AMEN😇🐾🤗

Poor sweet baby! He’s in rough shape. Thank you for loving him.
Good luck Rufus. Hope you live a great and long life. May God bless you and give you a great life you deserve.
The poor buddy has had it ruff. He definitely deserves the very best. Thank you!!

Thank you for loving cats.
Thank you so much for taking care of this sweet boy.
I was almost holding my breath as Rufus kneaded and hovered. When he finally curled up I exhaled! Beautiful.
I’m not crying, you are! You’re angels, pure and simple. Your wings will be waiting!!❤❤❤

Look...I'm not a cat guy. At. All. But you were so patient with him, gave him time, and I'm sure he was reassured by your words. Pretty cool.
Two lucky beings, to have each other. 😻
Enjoy the coze, you perfectly skrunkly old man.
My goodness he’s a pretty old guy. Bless you for giving him these wonderful things.
How sweet your voice lady . So relaxing. All cats love your voice ❤He loves his new bed 🙏
Thank you for giving this sweet baby some comfort in their old age, bless your heart.❤️
That is awesome. Glad to see him nice and comfy
Thank you so much for caring for him so much.

He probably never experienced something so soft except his mother when he was just born.
That's sad man, poor thing 😢😢
that's what i was thinking, i figure he probably hasn't kneaded since he was a kitten
You know I had never connected air biscuits with his momma belly.

The poor little guy. I hope he gets all the good care, love and comfort he needs.
Oh, my … that made me cry.
Apparently he couldn’t believe the bed was for him.
I got 2 dog beds for my cat when a woman's dog passed. They like blankets. Put a blanket for Rufus. He will love it. Bless you for being so kind to Rufus.
Have a happy life Rufus
What a sweet boy he is! So happy that he's finally off the streets and is getting the care and love he deserves!
