As someone who has MS and so deals with damage to my cerebellum I can relate to Phoebe. I would adopt a cat with CH before I would adopt a "perfect" cat. We could wobble through the days together. Blessings for Phoebe and her family.
+Glitterrr Girl 😂 Forgive me for laughing at your statement that you'd adopt a cat with CH so you two can wobble around together. Eh edgy but,forgive me, funny
You could have just kept that to yourself. MS is not an easy condition to live with and the person might not be in the place right now to laugh about it like you are.
@@stop08it Okay to each their own, if the woman with Multiple Sclerosis accepts she has Multiple Sclerosis to the point that she can say she'd adopt a cat with CH so they both can wobble through life together then should be up to her on what's funny about her condition. And as I said forgive me that I laughed at her statement, the thing is; knowing this cat has something close to Multiple Sclerosis. She knows how to take care of cat with a condition that's the feline equivalent of her condition.
What scares me is how some veterinarians are so quick to end a life. Really scary. One of my many rescues was a orange male that I found dying in an alley. I rushed him to a vet where they wanted to put him down. I convinced him to try, and the kitten survived. We had over 13yrs together.
@@MrTarakan Dosent make sense. A pet with a disability will rack up a lot more medical bills than a heatlhy one. Its just a difference in view, what life is still considered to be worth living and what is not. Most pet owners have to make the decision at some point, as we had to, too.
They are simply assassin. Just look at the word they use: euthanasia. It is often a misleading way of saying murder. On the other hand with a human being who is able to communicate exactly his own thought, euthanasia in principle, but with other species I would say no! (except in extreme cases)
That’s incredibly unfair. This cat needed someone like this woman to have any real quality of life, someone to watch after her day and night, as a kitten she needed one-on-one care to learn how to walk and eat. And women like this woman are RARE. Most people pay attention to their pets once or twice a day, they’re basically toys to them. Vets have to make awful choices all the time because of a problem they didn’t cause.
It's so annoying when people underestimate a special needs kitten/cat. They can usually do most things, but just in a different way. So glad Phoebe got a second chance on life and living it to the fullest.
When I first started at the municipal shelter in my city (I'd worked at the private, non-profit previously) I met a kitten that I named Donkey Kong. He was polydactyl, had about 5-6 toes on his front feet, but his metacarpals and radius/ulna were fused, so he had his front paws curled inwards towards each other, and would kind of walk on the outsides of his wrists. But his back feet! He had about twelve toes on each foot, and he constantly stood up like a rabbit, and could actually leap up onto furniture from that squatting posture. He was euthanized on my day off. I had noticed that right before my weekend that he'd lost his appetite and was vomiting bile, I think he maybe had a GI blockage from eating trash. I didn't know then what I know now... I should've just taken him home for foster. We did not have an actual foster program at the time.💔
@@emriley5055 I am glad 😊 they adopted and saved her. I hope they keep a close eye on baby 💖 and teach her how to be super gentle to Phoebe . 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹This is a great story about some really kind people that adopted a cat with special needs that was supposed to be put down.
@@lapislazarus8899 I adopted a cat like that . It found me I gave it a home .It had alot of vet appointments . We finally figured out it had an overactive thyroid. We were in the middle of trying to get the cat,'s medicine 💊 💉 adjusted. This is the only cat that I had to get declawed because it actually was dangerous for me not to.
What a sweet little heartbreaker! No discomfort, a normal life expectancy, and a wonderful personality. Why on earth would anyone even think of putting her down?
Because there wasn’t a foster parent/owner there to fund what would likely be extremely expensive care. Vets want to save every animal, trust me, but they aren’t doctors. Many of them don’t even make enough to be able to have a pet of their own. They’re poor. When it comes to decisions like this where is the other choice? Where would they get the funding to take care of a disabled cat? They have to go thru this over and over and it’s hell on earth. Putting animals down who may have been able to survive- along with having to witness the effects of cruel and neglectful owners on so many innocent creatures who would be better off out of their hands- is why veterinarians have one of the highest rates of suicide of any profession.
@@g.h.7661 What expensive care? CH doesn't need expensive care. They are completely healthy except for the wobbling thing. This only shows that you are ignorant of the condition being talked about and are just making stuff up assuming that the vet must be right somehow. Also, I looked it up and vets make 6 figure salaries. They aren't poor. Again, you are making stuff up.
@@Xinyayy I dunno man, not all cute things are good for the animal that's 'cute'. In this case yeah Phoebe's fine but with cats like scottish folds, dogs like pugs and chickens like silkies, cuteness is often very bad for the animal
Don’t be mad at the shelter or the vet. They are nonprofits working with very limited funds And staff. They cannot afford the ongoing/specialized care some animals with severe medical conditions require and by holding onto and pouring resources into one animal, that often means saying no to like 20 other pets who could have been transferred in from high kill shelters - those pets are healthy and end up being euthanized due to having nowhere to be sent. So keep that in mind. Saying yes to one animal could mean saying goodbye to many many more. Even kill shelters are doing the best they can. Without them, ALL the stray pets in their community would be euthanized. This woman adopted her which is wonderful, the shelter would have had a very hard time finding another adopter for her. 99% of people will choose a healthy pet over one with a serious medical issue that may cost a fortune to treat and end up passing away early anyway. I know it’s sad. But please don’t take it out on the shelter. The people that start these shelters and work there are very compassionate people who love animals. It’s hard to understand these decisions and to blame them and say it’s not fair and they are evil until you work at one..
She is one beautiful cat! There's no way I'd ever let her be euthanised. She reminds me of my cat, Shadow, just different colours. What a beautiful personality too! 🥰🐈⬛
Awwww daniel.your cat sounds so sweet.i also have a rescue cat .cleopatra.she was very near death.but i nursed her.i found her 2 days after my husband passed.its like. She just showed up..we must all be animal livers here.have a purrrrrrfect day.😺😺😺😺😺😺😺👍🌟✨
"Phoebe" and this loving lady, her human mom, are two angels on this Earth, what a story! I can see the love in this lady, and this is so touching. Beautiful, amazing story of love, devotion to an animal in need of help. Thank goodness this sweet, heroic cat was not euthanized. "Phoebe" is full of life
We’re too quick to put animals down! You don’t put them down just because they’re not perfect. Just because you’re not perfect doesn’t mean you’re can’t live a life that’s beautiful. Glad this woman and her husband understood this💜💜💜 thank you!
I lost my cat that got cancer in March, had her for 18 years. I will never forget when I got her, a couple was giving away kittens and when I first told my parents I wanted a cat I was like "I'm gonna get a black cat!" But when I got there the 2 black cats didn't really feel like the ones, but when I held the gray one that was being pretty chill, looked into her eyes I felt something in my chest and instantly thought "this one!" She was my absolute best friend and rock for so many years. Some days still feel like the first day I lost her and her not being here hasn't gotten easier. I'll never stop loving her. I know I'll see her again when it's my time to leave. So for now I'm patiently waiting for the next furry companion that is meant walk along side me on earth.
I have a cat that is now 20, and I fear everyday losing her. I’ve had her since she was 3 weeks old, sometimes I just cry thinking about it and I’m not sure how I will be able to breath without her being with me.
@@sunayakong8537 Yeah it's tough for sure, my cat is now also 20, lost her sister about 5 years ago to cancer and their father many years before that. Always dreading when that day finally comes because I know just how bad the pain can be.
I'm already dreading the day when my beloved cat will leave this earth (she's like 8 now), but then again, knowing that adopting her saved her from going to the shelter, and seeing every day how she feels safe around us with her white fluffy belly exposed in the daylight... I know that not even in the dreaded future time of mourning am I ever gonna regret adopting her. She helped me through some of my worst days already, and I will always love her. But she also opened my heart for other cats and for other animals in general, and something tells me that I will never again live without a furry angel by my side. They are so much more than just pets, they are real companions ❤
Thank you for saving Phoebe. She’s a gorgeous girl that deserves to live. I can’t understand that vet that recommended euthanasia for ch. I love Phoebe.
Oh Stephanie, there are so many tears it is hard to see to type. You and your husband are wonderful souls. Stories like Phoebe's are what keep us rescuers putting one foot in front of another. Phoebe is absolutely perfect! God I love you both for giving her a life. I too have intervened to keep stupid euthanasia from happening. I'd do it again, even to give a cat just one day more of life. There is nothing more precious in the Universe than life. Props from an old Arizona desert rat.
She is so beautiful and sweet! I'm so glad that you adopted her and gave her a second chance at a wonderful loving life. Thanks for your kindness and dedication to this beautiful cat. ❤️❤️❤️😻😻😻
@@dolleyes9232 Thanks, no, I just looked at her and said, "that's a Mildred"! I also call her Milly McMillinstein, or Milly. She is so ugly, she's cute, her hair is all messed up, she has whiskers growing out of her dewclaws, and she's just plain dickered. But she's an innocent soul, and she does OK for the state she's in, she just realized she can climb, only up though, not down, she's taken a few crash courses off of the couch. She is a plain smoke gray Cat, I'm 68, so we'll probably both ride off into the sunset at about the same time!
Phoebe's such a cutie baby. So happy that you were able to give her a home. What a great personality. The vet that recommended euthansia for CH was a jerk. She looked like she got around fine with a lot of care and love and to me, that was all she needed. 💕🥰
I totally agree. All Phoebe needed was exta time and patience from her owners to learn how to cope with her disability. She is such a sweet cat and I'm haply they decided to adopt her. What a treasure! 🐱💗
I don't think the vet was being a jerk. The reality is that it can be hard to find someone willing to commit to the level of care needed in more severe cases, so especially given that she was a rescue it is a practical recommendation given how many kittens need adoption every year. We obviously didn't agree with the vet on her adoptability and did have a few very strong candidates before we eventually adopted her.
Phoebe doesn't know she is any different than any other cat, so who are we to tell her she is? She deserves the right to live her BEST life just like any other cat.
Did she tell you that ? And yes, we are able to tell she is different 'cause we see how are normal cats. Loving animals doesn't mean saying anything... if she was in wild, she would be dead, her mom would have left her, because nature knows what is normal, what works. Then, you choose to ignore it but it changes nothing. She's different.
@@2babobcat761 Yes seriously. I have a cat and I love him more than anything but if he had to become like this, I would choose to euthanize him. This is not a life and it's pure selfishness to keep them like this. The problem with you guys is : when you have feelings, you have no reason anymore. But anyway, let's keep your animals like this, thinking you are good persons, if you feel ok...
@@cellendhyl05 We have another foster right now named Cornbread with CH almost as severe as Phoebe's. He was found with his mother who was often seen carrying him around. He lasted five weeks in her care before humans took him in. So no, the mother doesn't necessarily abandon them.
Beautiful story! Thanks for taking care of Phoebe. I had the same experience with a cat and a vet. She'd been hit by a car and had nerve damage in her rear end. Her owners had left her at the vet, unable to pay the bill, so she ended up at the pound. We were there looking for a lost dog, and she put her paw out of the cage and "waved" at me. My husband had already found a kitten he had to have. I took her to the vet and he recommended euthanasia, thinking she'd never heal. I refused, so he gave me meds to help her pee, and I had to clean her rear because she couldn't do it herself. Not too much later, we traveled to my parents' house for Christmas and took the cats with us. I forgot her meds at home, and she never needed them again. She lived for years afterward, usually waking me 30 seconds before the alarm went off in the morning by licking my chin, and waiting by the window for me to get home from work. I've only had shelter or pound cats ever since.
This is just such a precious rescue story, little Phoebe is absolutely adorable and such a beautiful strong spirit ! Much love to this entire Family and all they do to help and to take such loving care of these precious souls 💞💘💗💘💞
Such a precious, “wobbly” cat 😊. She obviously brings so much joy into your lives. Thank you and the second vet for rescuing her … making the whole world brighter 💜🙏💙🐾💚
Such a precious little kitten. Thank you so much for saving her and making her life so special. I wish there were more people like you in the world. It would be such a better place.
Hi mark.i agree.people need to be kinder.all living things deserve a chance.my rescue has 2 extra toes on each front paw.she is me fur baby lol.ok. im mushy lolol
At this point I’ve watched thousands of videos from Geobeats and The Dodo. There’s a lot of really heart touching stories out there. This story about Phoebe is by far my favorite. I had to watch it twice. She’s so lucky to have found you two. Thank you two for giving this sweet girl a second chance. 🐈
What a sweet sweet story made me tear up you and your husband are wonderful people to take on this adorable kitty my hat is off to both of you I love her meow thank you for sharing
My kitty Luna has Wobbly Kitty, she is a spitfire hilarious baby. She really doesn’t know she’s different. She does make more of a mess with water bowls and kitty litter but she is well worth it. I gave her butt baths as a baby and helped hold her up while she went potty. I would never let her go, I understand this being a foster fail story 🥰 my special needs kitty is the light of my life and brings me so much joy. Like phoebe she is a well adapted fur baby - she can climb onto window sills and up onto the bed to get cuddles. CH Kitties deserve loving homes that will work with their disability ❤️❤️
Someone told me their neighbor had a cat with wobbly cat syndrome and he ended up breaking his back from the uncontrollable erratic movement one day😰how common is that? Or is that not a thing? Sorry I've just wanted to know if that's even real
She is perfectly precious in every way! I'm so glad this little cherub found you. I commend you on not surrendering to her first diagnosis and choosing this beautiful journey. I would miss her too if I had to be away. There's always that one that leaves such a profound meaning of unconditional love in our hearts. I hope this beautiful family flourishes with their little angels.
I can see in that woman's eyes how much passion and love she has. I thought I was the only one who had that look for animals like Pheobe. She has a very special gift. And Pheobe has a very special job she is doing daily. Blessings, love,and long life to them all.
Veterinarian was so wrong and wonder how many other animals he put to death for no reason whatsoever. God bless the woman and her husband for the love and care they have given the little kitten❤
it makes me utterly sad imagining how many cats that just needed an amazing person like her got killed off, i’m at work watching this about to bawl my eyes out. such a sweet story
Indeed. I used to be involved in rescue and had to stop because sadly my heart, to be figurative/metaphysical, couldn't take it anymore. It happens so much more than you know. It seems for every cat that has a loving home, there's 40 that are being abused, neglected, killed, etc. They're the most wonderful beings in earth, so full of love, amd with more personality than many humans. Yet because humans think some man in the sky made them have souls, and the animals don't, we can use and abuse and exploit them. Because they don't matter.
A lot of cats have to be killed just because there are too many. If phoebe was euthanized, another cat may have lived. But since phoebe lived, another cat may have died. "No kill" shelters and foster organizations can't accept unlimited animals. When they are full, the rest have to go somewhere else, and if there are no beds available, perfectly healthy animals are euthanized. Most animal welfare agencies estimate MILLIONS of healthy dogs and cats in the US are euthanized every year.
I adopted an American ShortHair who had Asthma from birth, we named him Leo, and today he's over a year old, doing well and we love him so much! When I got Leo I never knew he had Asthma, the irony was even I have Asthma and seeing this story it bought me tears because I thought of Leo immediately, such a lovely story!
@@terrynasso5142 We adopted Leo, the day we got him, he started having these loud purrs and we could notice him taking deep breaths while purring, it was not the usual we saw with our other two cats, got this checked by a vet they say flat nosed cats like Persians & Shorthairs tend to have this but its rare...we also noticed he couldn't run around a lot and would not let us touch him toomuch since that would force him to purr a lot causing him a breathing discomfort....Anyway, Leo is now 1 yr old, he's a lot better now, he has control over his purr and is quite a lot better with his activities and play times.
my cats name is also named Leo. We rescued him one rainy day from the streets, he had two bacterias eating his nose up to his brain, we managed to save him with antibiotics in gas form with a chamber we made out of a plastic box because none of the injected antibiotics were working and the cat was suffering from all the daily injections.
@@alpacamale2909 how'd you manage to make the anti-b into gas? Smart and kind! I had an elderly dog w/CHF and made him an oxygen chamber to lessen trips to the Vet's for oxygen treatments. Used a small crate, plastic shower curtain as the wrap, and a $100.00 Oxygenator Machine off CraigsList. Made sure I had some holes to release the carbon dioxide. It helped his discomfort and calmed him. Got the plans off the internet and after my dear little dog passed, I sold it for less, to a human who needed it rather than renting oxygen tanks. And had several requests for my "how to" plans. Saves money, too. Treatments aren't free. You did well to help your Leo.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Hello, I am glad you could help your doggy. The machine I use is named Beurer IH-40 and it converts the medicine into gas, moves it through a rubber tube and passes it to the box where the cat is, that box has a few holes so he can breathe but it gets filled quickly with the gas and he is able to breath the medicine. After he didn't need the anti biotics we still had use for it since it helps him during winters
LOVE Phoebe!!! And she is clearly so very grateful to you. I have seen this with the cats I’ve rescued - they know when someone has saved their life and they turn out to be so loving and gentle. So glad you kept her.
You're BRILLIANT with that baby! Worked w/patients...never forget or dismiss those in need. This one is priceless. So are you and your husband. Great providers. Cheers!
Her kisses to your husband's nose and her face when you did paw massages was awesome !! She loves your hubby, this is the reason she sleeps between you 2. (He's MY human & don't you forget it!) And - EVERYONE has hurdles to slow them down everyday. Physical, emotional, mental - you all have them. Mine is called Medullary Sponge Kidney. She is a beautiful girl and her little wabbly walk just makes her unique in her own special way. Women united. Right, Phoebe?🌹😬
Such an amazing story. I had no idea wobbly cat syndrome was a thing. It's great that you rescued her from certain death and gave her a wonderful life. It is a very touching story and you are truly blessed to have her.
people, dogs, and horses can get it too! im not sure about other animals though. i have a wobbly cat and when looking up stuff about it i came across a few dogs with it too on tiktok. dogs with it generally look like they are dancing
I met a cat once with a condition like this. Very sweet cat. I still remember that cat years later. I hope her life is just as wonderful as Phoebe's. I'm glad this family decided to keep her.
I love Pheobe's cute little meow. She's beautiful too! THANK YOU for giving her her chance to live & giving her physically therapy to help her improve her walking.
This is such an incredibly beautiful story. I’m so glad you rescued this gorgeous kitty and gave her all the love and affection she so deserves. Thank you for sharing her story 👏🏻🇬🇧
Your soul shines so brightly. Bless you for this important work you do. It is people like you that are the angels among us, whose hearts are so big and welcoming to all the animals that would otherwise go unnoticed, unwanted, and discarded. All you wonderful folks give so much hope and love in such a loveless world. Thank you!
What a beautiful soul miss phoebe is. I’m so glad you found each other. I adopted a special needs kitty two years ago at the beginning of the pandemic because I finally didn’t have to commute two hours one way to work and now work permanently from home. I love it. My kitty is the best therapy I ever could imagine. I have had to work hard to train her and make special food for her. She has vision and digestive issues. The thing is she is so trainable. More so than any cat Ive ever had. She is so patient and smart and affectionate. Snd I feel like she has trained me as well. She knows a lot of words but she has specific cries that mean specific things so she’s trained me to understand her needs. Like for food, play time, specific toys, when she’s used her box snd wants me to clean it, when she’s vomited on the area rug snd wants me to clean that too, when she’s done eating snd wants me to clean that area, when she’s bored, when she’s annoyed, when she wants me to pet her snd when she wants me to stop petting her. She has specific cries or signals that are consistent. She’s a very special cat. She’s my buddy snd my cuddle bug. She makes me laugh everyday. Her special needs are barely an issue now except that I can’t leave her with just anyone if I go places so usually she comes with me snd she loves her travel backpack snd exploring new motels or cabins snd love to camp snd check out the critters and cuddle with me in the sleeping bag or under her quilt
This is adorable just adorable phoebe is the cutest cat I’ve ever seen and deserved to live she is now is in a happy healthy home and amazing parents she’s a beautiful baby girl you are amazing people for adopting her euthanasia was a horrible idea and I would die for her if she was my kitten she’s just A RAY OF SUNSHINE☀️I just Love phoebe☀️
We have a rescue cat with CH that is a much loved family member and I’m so thankful that you’re raising awareness of this condition. It’s fantastic to see Phoebe happy and loved, and I hope she brings you as much joy as Mikey brings us. I love how nothing phases a CH cat. They just get up and try again! 🥰
Such a heartwarming story of love and loyalty because it goes both ways, from cat to human and vice versa. Phoebe has a wonderful life with her family and it wouldn't have happened if this woman listened to the first vet and euthanized her. It might be nice to send that vet a video of her progress and happy life.
@ Cathy Keim. HEAR HEAR. Send that damned vet a link to the video. Vets in the US get COLD and HEARTLESS inside after a few years in practice and in my experience would rather euthanize an animal than spend a little extra time considering the options. Our regular vet is pretty cold inside but better than the next nearest one who took our beautiful gray cat in for a dental. HE OVERDOSED IT ON KETAMINE GA and cared about as much as if he'd lost a half open can of moldy beans. We save cats as much as possible - going on 30 or so and they live in the house with us. We are both very senior citizens and on SS but nobody around here gives a damn - - - oh - - - it's just an animal. Right now we have 16 cats in our home (they are family) and had 3 dogs that all died of old age. Vet fees and food costs kill us but what are you going to do - animals are so special - love is their currency - but they GIVE IT AWAY TO YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. This story moved us to tears of joy. Thank you for not letting the vet put her down - she is special - not disabled. XX
@@aidencox790 It is never "just an animal" to people like you and me. It is heartwarming to hear how much you are doing for the cats and dogs you are caring for and live with you. My experience with vets has been up and down, some good and some not so good. Best of luck to you.
This video is something that makes my heart so glad. First, it's so wonderful to meet somebody who has given so much and fostered over 50 little lives! Fostering is hard work, it is stressful, and often overlooked. Second, when Phoebe arrived, this family didn't give up and rallied around a beautiful little soul! They were amazing. I love the story and the education that this video imparts. I volunteer with a cat rescue and if I am lucky, some day I can create videos about our waiting-for-home waifs that are even a tenth as nice as these. But in the end, that Phoebe was supported and now can blossom... that's what matters to me most when I see this video. My heart bursts for her.
The sweetness of this little angel brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you adopted her and are giving her the happy life she deserves. Thank you for all the love you give.
People who take care of special needs animals deserve an extra big medal of appreciation.
No, the perfectly healthy chicken, fish, and cows being butchered for a retarded cat deserve the medal. The carers need counselling

Vets have to make awful choices all the time because of a problem they didn’t cause.
God bless you for adopting strays.
It's so annoying when people underestimate a special needs kitten/cat. They can usually do most things, but
just in a different way. So glad Phoebe got a second chance on life and living it to the fullest.

What a sweet little heartbreaker! No discomfort, a normal life expectancy, and a wonderful personality. Why on earth would anyone even think of putting her down?
Because there wasn’t a foster parent/owner there to fund what would likely be extremely expensive care. Vets want to save every animal, trust me, but they aren’t doctors. Many of them don’t even make enough to be able to have a pet of their own. They’re poor. When it comes to decisions like this where is the other choice? Where would they get the funding to take care of a disabled cat? They have to go thru this over and over and it’s hell on earth. Putting animals down who may have been able to survive- along with having to witness the effects of cruel and neglectful owners on so many innocent creatures who would be better off out of their hands- is why veterinarians have one of the highest rates of suicide of any profession.
@@g.h.7661 that’s funny that “they are poor” 😂 People who make $10/hr have cats and vets make way way more
@@g.h.7661 since when are all vets poot??? it's a middle class career
@@g.h.7661 WOW is that true though? about vets having a hgh suicide rate???
@@g.h.7661 What expensive care? CH doesn't need expensive care. They are completely healthy except for the wobbling thing. This only shows that you are ignorant of the condition being talked about and are just making stuff up assuming that the vet must be right somehow.
Also, I looked it up and vets make 6 figure salaries. They aren't poor. Again, you are making stuff up.
‘Just because she’s “wobbly” she’s been given a death sentence.’
I was appalled when I heard that sentence. And delighted when you saved her! 👍😺
they literally treated the wobble as deadly, its just a wobble
a cute wobble, it might not be casual cat things but its still adorable!

@@Xinyayy I dunno man, not all cute things are good for the animal that's 'cute'. In this case yeah Phoebe's fine but with cats like scottish folds, dogs like pugs and chickens like silkies, cuteness is often very bad for the animal
Don’t be mad at the shelter or the vet. They are nonprofits working with very limited funds And staff. They cannot afford the ongoing/specialized care some animals with severe medical conditions require and by holding onto and pouring resources into one animal, that often means saying no to like 20 other pets who could have been transferred in from high kill shelters - those pets are healthy and end up being euthanized due to having nowhere to be sent. So keep that in mind. Saying yes to one animal could mean saying goodbye to many many more. Even kill shelters are doing the best they can. Without them, ALL the stray pets in their community would be euthanized. This woman adopted her which is wonderful, the shelter would have had a very hard time finding another adopter for her. 99% of people will choose a healthy pet over one with a serious medical issue that may cost a fortune to treat and end up passing away early anyway. I know it’s sad. But please don’t take it out on the shelter. The people that start these shelters and work there are very compassionate people who love animals. It’s hard to understand these decisions and to blame them and say it’s not fair and they are evil until you work at one..
How empathic, enthusiastic, and adorable is the foster mother! Very supportive and charismatic!
The cat is wonderful 🥰
She's more than just a "special needs" kitty. She's a fighter and a very very special little lady ❤️❤️❤️

We’re too quick to put animals down! You don’t put them down just because they’re not perfect. Just because you’re not perfect doesn’t mean you’re can’t live a life that’s beautiful. Glad this woman and her husband understood this💜💜💜 thank you!
Not "We're", a lot of people aren't that heartless to give up on a life just because they're different
I lost my cat that got cancer in March, had her for 18 years. I will never forget when I got her, a couple was giving away kittens and when I first told my parents I wanted a cat I was like "I'm gonna get a black cat!" But when I got there the 2 black cats didn't really feel like the ones, but when I held the gray one that was being pretty chill, looked into her eyes I felt something in my chest and instantly thought "this one!" She was my absolute best friend and rock for so many years. Some days still feel like the first day I lost her and her not being here hasn't gotten easier. I'll never stop loving her. I know I'll see her again when it's my time to leave. So for now I'm patiently waiting for the next furry companion that is meant walk along side me on earth.
What a lovely story magic
I have a cat that is now 20, and I fear everyday losing her. I’ve had her since she was 3 weeks old, sometimes I just cry thinking about it and I’m not sure how I will be able to breath without her being with me.
@@sunayakong8537 Yeah it's tough for sure, my cat is now also 20, lost her sister about 5 years ago to cancer and their father many years before that. Always dreading when that day finally comes because I know just how bad the pain can be.
I'm already dreading the day when my beloved cat will leave this earth (she's like 8 now), but then again, knowing that adopting her saved her from going to the shelter, and seeing every day how she feels safe around us with her white fluffy belly exposed in the daylight... I know that not even in the dreaded future time of mourning am I ever gonna regret adopting her. She helped me through some of my worst days already, and I will always love her. But she also opened my heart for other cats and for other animals in general, and something tells me that I will never again live without a furry angel by my side. They are so much more than just pets, they are real companions ❤
@@judith8161 lovely…
Thank you for saving Phoebe. She’s a gorgeous girl that deserves to live. I can’t understand that vet that recommended euthanasia for ch. I love Phoebe.
Oh Stephanie, there are so many tears it is hard to see to type. You and your husband are wonderful souls. Stories like Phoebe's are what keep us rescuers putting one foot in front of another. Phoebe is absolutely perfect! God I love you both for giving her a life. I too have intervened to keep stupid euthanasia from happening. I'd do it again, even to give a cat just one day more of life. There is nothing more precious in the Universe than life. Props from an old Arizona desert rat.
She is so beautiful and sweet! I'm so glad that you adopted her and gave her a second chance at a wonderful loving life. Thanks for your kindness and dedication to this beautiful cat. ❤️❤️❤️😻😻😻
That sweet meow is everything and THANK GOD you adopted her 💯🙏🏾💕❤️🥰
It takes a lot of humanity to extend that caring and love. People like you and your husband are wonderful examples of genuine kindness.
@@normagruchow3317 facts!!
Thank you for giving this cat a chance to live. I wish people were more considering like you are.
I have a Cat with the same special needs, her name is Mildred, and she is the sweetest Cat I've ever had.
i love that name. did you name her after anything/anyone?
@@dolleyes9232 Thanks, no, I just looked at her and said, "that's a Mildred"! I also call her Milly McMillinstein, or Milly. She is so ugly, she's cute, her hair is all messed up, she has whiskers growing out of her dewclaws, and she's just plain dickered. But she's an innocent soul, and she does OK for the state she's in, she just realized she can climb, only up though, not down, she's taken a few crash courses off of the couch. She is a plain smoke gray Cat, I'm 68, so we'll probably both ride off into the sunset at about the same time!
God-bless you
Bless you
The world needs more people like you two! p.s. She’s beautiful!

Thank you so much for believing in Phoebe. She is such a treasure and a beautiful member of your family.
Phoebe's such a cutie baby. So happy that you were able to give her a home. What a great personality. The vet that recommended euthansia for CH was a jerk. She looked like she got around fine with a lot of care and love and to me, that was all she needed. 💕🥰
I totally agree. All Phoebe needed was exta time and patience from her owners to learn how to cope with her disability. She is such a sweet cat and I'm haply they decided to adopt her. What a treasure! 🐱💗
I don't think the vet was being a jerk. The reality is that it can be hard to find someone willing to commit to the level of care needed in more severe cases, so especially given that she was a rescue it is a practical recommendation given how many kittens need adoption every year. We obviously didn't agree with the vet on her adoptability and did have a few very strong candidates before we eventually adopted her.
Phoebe doesn't know she is any different than any other cat, so who are we to tell her she is? She deserves the right to live her BEST life just like any other cat.
Very well said 🐱❤️
Did she tell you that ? And yes, we are able to tell she is different 'cause we see how are normal cats. Loving animals doesn't mean saying anything... if she was in wild, she would be dead, her mom would have left her, because nature knows what is normal, what works. Then, you choose to ignore it but it changes nothing. She's different.
@@cellendhyl05 🙄😬🤯 Seriously???
@@2babobcat761 Yes seriously. I have a cat and I love him more than anything but if he had to become like this, I would choose to euthanize him. This is not a life and it's pure selfishness to keep them like this. The problem with you guys is : when you have feelings, you have no reason anymore. But anyway, let's keep your animals like this, thinking you are good persons, if you feel ok...
@@cellendhyl05 We have another foster right now named Cornbread with CH almost as severe as Phoebe's. He was found with his mother who was often seen carrying him around. He lasted five weeks in her care before humans took him in. So no, the mother doesn't necessarily abandon them.
OMG, shes beautiful. How could anyone wanna put her down. I'm glad she found a good home.
She’s such a beautiful cat! And it’s so cool that you can take her out with you. It’s the special ones that always stand out.
Her meows are so adorable 🥰
The swimming has payed off, a.nd strengthened her legs and confidence.
She is precious!!! You and your husband are wonderful people for what you do for these beautiful animals. God Bless you and your fur babies.
Beautiful story! Thanks for taking care of Phoebe. I had the same experience with a cat and a vet. She'd been hit by a car and had nerve damage in her rear end. Her owners had left her at the vet, unable to pay the bill, so she ended up at the pound. We were there looking for a lost dog, and she put her paw out of the cage and "waved" at me. My husband had already found a kitten he had to have. I took her to the vet and he recommended euthanasia, thinking she'd never heal. I refused, so he gave me meds to help her pee, and I had to clean her rear because she couldn't do it herself. Not too much later, we traveled to my parents' house for Christmas and took the cats with us. I forgot her meds at home, and she never needed them again. She lived for years afterward, usually waking me 30 seconds before the alarm went off in the morning by licking my chin, and waiting by the window for me to get home from work. I've only had shelter or pound cats ever since.
thank u sally me too

Best wishes from Turkiye!
My kitty Luna has Wobbly Kitty, she is a spitfire hilarious baby. She really doesn’t know she’s different. She does make more of a mess with water bowls and kitty litter but she is well worth it. I gave her butt baths as a baby and helped hold her up while she went potty. I would never let her go, I understand this being a foster fail story 🥰 my special needs kitty is the light of my life and brings me so much joy. Like phoebe she is a well adapted fur baby - she can climb onto window sills and up onto the bed to get cuddles. CH Kitties deserve loving homes that will work with their disability ❤️❤️
Someone told me their neighbor had a cat with wobbly cat syndrome and he ended up breaking his back from the uncontrollable erratic movement one day😰how common is that? Or is that not a thing? Sorry I've just wanted to know if that's even real
She is perfectly precious in every way! I'm so glad this little cherub found you. I commend you on not surrendering to her first diagnosis and choosing this beautiful journey. I would miss her too if I had to be away. There's always that one that leaves such a profound meaning of unconditional love in our hearts. I hope this beautiful family flourishes with their little angels.

What a beautiful story. Thank you for seeing Phoebe’s potential and giving her a loving home.
Thank you Phoebe. You've brightened everyone's day on here.
I have to wonder who is luckier, Phoebe or her human Mom and Dad. Who could possibly not adore this lovely little girl? So what if she wobbles?
@@TheCatWorshipper The cat is the luckier one as it takes extra special loving cat parents to tend to a special needs animal.
That kitty is a bundle of love and her care takers is so kind and understanding, can't get any better than that.
I can see in that woman's eyes how much passion and love she has. I thought I was the only one who had that look for animals like Pheobe. She has a very special gift. And Pheobe has a very special job she is doing daily. Blessings, love,and long life to them all.
Veterinarian was so wrong and wonder how many other animals he put to death for no reason whatsoever. God bless the woman and her husband for the love and care they have given the little kitten❤
Thank you for rescuing this sweet and gentle soul. Phoebe is an angel.. and you and your husband are too! ❤
it makes me utterly sad imagining how many cats that just needed an amazing person like her got killed off, i’m at work watching this about to bawl my eyes out. such a sweet story
Indeed. I used to be involved in rescue and had to stop because sadly my heart, to be figurative/metaphysical, couldn't take it anymore. It happens so much more than you know. It seems for every cat that has a loving home, there's 40 that are being abused, neglected, killed, etc. They're the most wonderful beings in earth, so full of love, amd with more personality than many humans. Yet because humans think some man in the sky made them have souls, and the animals don't, we can use and abuse and exploit them. Because they don't matter.
Ok, NOW go back to WORK !!! 😜
A lot of cats have to be killed just because there are too many. If phoebe was euthanized, another cat may have lived. But since phoebe lived, another cat may have died.
"No kill" shelters and foster organizations can't accept unlimited animals. When they are full, the rest have to go somewhere else, and if there are no beds available, perfectly healthy animals are euthanized. Most animal welfare agencies estimate MILLIONS of healthy dogs and cats in the US are euthanized every year.
Phoebe is so beautiful and like all our cats and dogs, she deserves a warm and loving home. So glad you found her, I guess it was serendipity.
I adopted an American ShortHair who had Asthma from birth, we named him Leo, and today he's over a year old, doing well and we love him so much! When I got Leo I never knew he had Asthma, the irony was even I have Asthma and seeing this story it bought me tears because I thought of Leo immediately, such a lovely story!
When did you find out your kitten had asthma? Do you have to give him nebulizer treatments?
@@terrynasso5142 We adopted Leo, the day we got him, he started having these loud purrs and we could notice him taking deep breaths while purring, it was not the usual we saw with our other two cats, got this checked by a vet they say flat nosed cats like Persians & Shorthairs tend to have this but its rare...we also noticed he couldn't run around a lot and would not let us touch him toomuch since that would force him to purr a lot causing him a breathing discomfort....Anyway, Leo is now 1 yr old, he's a lot better now, he has control over his purr and is quite a lot better with his activities and play times.
my cats name is also named Leo. We rescued him one rainy day from the streets, he had two bacterias eating his nose up to his brain, we managed to save him with antibiotics in gas form with a chamber we made out of a plastic box because none of the injected antibiotics were working and the cat was suffering from all the daily injections.
@@alpacamale2909 how'd you manage to make the anti-b into gas? Smart and kind! I had an elderly dog w/CHF and made him an oxygen chamber to lessen trips to the Vet's for oxygen treatments. Used a small crate, plastic shower curtain as the wrap, and a $100.00 Oxygenator Machine off CraigsList. Made sure I had some holes to release the carbon dioxide. It helped his discomfort and calmed him. Got the plans off the internet and after my dear little dog passed, I sold it for less, to a human who needed it rather than renting oxygen tanks. And had several requests for my "how to" plans. Saves money, too. Treatments aren't free. You did well to help your Leo.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 Hello, I am glad you could help your doggy. The machine I use is named Beurer IH-40 and it converts the medicine into gas, moves it through a rubber tube and passes it to the box where the cat is, that box has a few holes so he can breathe but it gets filled quickly with the gas and he is able to breath the medicine. After he didn't need the anti biotics we still had use for it since it helps him during winters
LOVE Phoebe!!! And she is clearly so very grateful to you. I have seen this with the cats I’ve rescued - they know when someone has saved their life and they turn out to be so loving and gentle. So glad you kept her.
This is SO heartwarming! Thank you to the people helping her ♥
You're BRILLIANT with that baby! Worked w/patients...never forget or dismiss those in need. This one is priceless. So are you and your husband. Great providers. Cheers!
You are to be commended for your attention, love and care given to Phoebe.
Beautiful cat. Heartwarming story. Bless the foster parents who decided to keep her. A win-win all around situation. ❤️
Her kisses to your husband's nose and her face when you did paw massages was awesome !! She loves your hubby, this is the reason she sleeps between you 2. (He's MY human & don't you forget it!) And - EVERYONE has hurdles to slow them down everyday. Physical, emotional, mental - you all have them. Mine is called Medullary Sponge Kidney. She is a beautiful girl and her little wabbly walk just makes her unique in her own special way. Women united. Right, Phoebe?🌹😬
Such an amazing story. I had no idea wobbly cat syndrome was a thing. It's great that you rescued her from certain death and gave her a wonderful life. It is a very touching story and you are truly blessed to have her.
people, dogs, and horses can get it too! im not sure about other animals though. i have a wobbly cat and when looking up stuff about it i came across a few dogs with it too on tiktok. dogs with it generally look like they are dancing
She is so lucky to have you to look after her. She must also bring you great joy too.
I met a cat once with a condition like this. Very sweet cat. I still remember that cat years later. I hope her life is just as wonderful as Phoebe's. I'm glad this family decided to keep her.
I love Pheobe's cute little meow. She's beautiful too! THANK YOU for giving her her chance to live & giving her physically therapy to help her improve her walking.

What a beautiful soul miss phoebe is. I’m so glad you found each other. I adopted a special needs kitty two years ago at the beginning of the pandemic because I finally didn’t have to commute two hours one way to work and now work permanently from home. I love it. My kitty is the best therapy I ever could imagine. I have had to work hard to train her and make special food for her. She has vision and digestive issues. The thing is she is so trainable. More so than any cat Ive ever had. She is so patient and smart and affectionate. Snd I feel like she has trained me as well. She knows a lot of words but she has specific cries that mean specific things so she’s trained me to understand her needs. Like for food, play time, specific toys, when she’s used her box snd wants me to clean it, when she’s vomited on the area rug snd wants me to clean that too, when she’s done eating snd wants me to clean that area, when she’s bored, when she’s annoyed, when she wants me to pet her snd when she wants me to stop petting her. She has specific cries or signals that are consistent. She’s a very special cat. She’s my buddy snd my cuddle bug. She makes me laugh everyday. Her special needs are barely an issue now except that I can’t leave her with just anyone if I go places so usually she comes with me snd she loves her travel backpack snd exploring new motels or cabins snd love to camp snd check out the critters and cuddle with me in the sleeping bag or under her quilt
Love your kitty story.. beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. 😺

Poor baby!! Thank God for people like you and your husband who love and take care of these babies!! 😻😸😺🙏🙏
Such a heartwarming story of love and loyalty because it goes both ways, from cat to human and vice versa. Phoebe has a wonderful life with her family and it wouldn't have happened if this woman listened to the first vet and euthanized her. It might be nice to send that vet a video of her progress and happy life.
@ Cathy Keim. HEAR HEAR. Send that damned vet a link to the video. Vets in the US get COLD and HEARTLESS inside after a few years in practice and in my experience would rather euthanize an animal than spend a little extra time considering the options. Our regular vet is pretty cold inside but better than the next nearest one who took our beautiful gray cat in for a dental. HE OVERDOSED IT ON KETAMINE GA and cared about as much as if he'd lost a half open can of moldy beans. We save cats as much as possible - going on 30 or so and they live in the house with us. We are both very senior citizens and on SS but nobody around here gives a damn - - - oh - - - it's just an animal. Right now we have 16 cats in our home (they are family) and had 3 dogs that all died of old age. Vet fees and food costs kill us but what are you going to do - animals are so special - love is their currency - but they GIVE IT AWAY TO YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.
This story moved us to tears of joy. Thank you for not letting the vet put her down - she is special - not disabled. XX
@@aidencox790 It is never "just an animal" to people like you and me. It is heartwarming to hear how much you are doing for the cats and dogs you are caring for and live with you. My experience with vets has been up and down, some good and some not so good. Best of luck to you.
This story made me super emotional. Lots of love for Phoebe and her lovely family ❤❤❤

OMG, Phoebe is an angel and so are you, ma'am. God bless Phoebe, your baby, your husband and yourself.
This video is something that makes my heart so glad. First, it's so wonderful to meet somebody who has given so much and fostered over 50 little lives! Fostering is hard work, it is stressful, and often overlooked. Second, when Phoebe arrived, this family didn't give up and rallied around a beautiful little soul! They were amazing. I love the story and the education that this video imparts. I volunteer with a cat rescue and if I am lucky, some day I can create videos about our waiting-for-home waifs that are even a tenth as nice as these.
But in the end, that Phoebe was supported and now can blossom... that's what matters to me most when I see this video. My heart bursts for her.
Awww. Phoebe is adorable! I can't blame you for your foster fail. She's precious! 🤗
The sweetness of this little angel brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you adopted her and are giving her the happy life she deserves. Thank you for all the love you give.
