Bonus video!!! It's been SO hard keeping this secret!!🐈⬛I could not be more excited to welcome Gordo into our online family 💘 He's actually the love of my life I think lol. Sometimes the best things come into your life when you least expect it. As I'm writing this he's napping next to me 🥹 cuteness overload
Live in Boston....tenants moved out on May 30th leaving a beautiful/friendly cat behind in their apartment with no electricity, water, food, litterbox. I volunteer for a rescue, they put an SOS out today for the landlady who was going to give it to animal control to be euthanized. I needed a cat like a whole in the head--cat is laying next to me purring right now. Always side with love.
Litter box training? Kitties generally just need to be placed in the box once or twice and they instinctually know what to do. No real training required... Enjoy this incredibly cute boy!
Such great advice! I rescued a kitten from behind my apartment in Brooklyn at the height of the pandemic. I already had two cats so he’s good with other cats, but because of everything going on at the time I wasn’t able to socialize him with other people. Consequently he’s a huge love bug with me but still skittish around other people. I hadn’t realized just how important socialization with multiple humans is.
This! I grew up on a farm with free roaming cats and they loved to snuggle with one another. The last time I saw our elder cat, I found her soaking in the sunlight, head rested on our German Shepherd‘s belly. I‘m glad I was able to capture the moment with my phone, since she passed in her sleep a week later at the proud age of 15.
Thank you for giving him a home. What a beautiful boy. If you could stretch at all to take a second one, you wouldn't regret it. Kittens do so well in bonded pairs and you'd be rewarded every day seeing their bond.
As a cat lady, I was so excited to see this video! I have a soft spot for tabby cats and Gordo is adorable! The Cat Distribution System has given me 5 awesome cats. And I've currently got four foster kittens as well so I'm scooping a lot of litter boxes. 🙂 These are some of my favorite cat products. Some of these might work better for him as he gets older. - SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post - Da Bird wand toy. I have to hide this because my cats go crazy for the feathers. - UAH wireless pet fountain. I have two of these and all of my cats love them. - Yeowww catnip toys. These are fully filled with catnip and I have to keep these hidden as well b/c my kitties have torn them apart. - Sheer Fun For Cats. It's a sheer blanket with crinkly edges and my cats love when I drag toys underneath. I'm so happy for you and Gordo! You're doing an amazing job so far and I'm looking forward to watching him grow.🙂
@Ruchita_G. Your favorites are also some of mine. I have purchased from Amazon several of the Yeowww banana catnip toys. They love these things. I also purchased for all of my family cats. They are well made and no one has have them break open. Truly recommend when Gordo gets a bit older.
I would adopt a sibling if you can. They keep each other company when you’re not there. At least that’s what my experience has been as a cat mom. Congratulations
I was going to say this too but I didn't want to sound like I was telling her what to do lol. We have 4 cats and volunteer at a cat rescue where they, for the most part, primarily only allow adoptions of single cats when there is another cat already in the house. Otherwise, the person has to adopt 2 cats. Especially if it's a bonded pair or kittens. The only cats allowed to be adopted alone are cats that hate other cats. They absolutely need the stimulation of another cat around. Plus, it would be easier on Chelsea because they would keep each other company.
100%! Hopefully after a little while, she'll consider that. Also, when you introduce cats when they're kittens they're more accepting and can bond deeply. They teach each other through play, which is extremely valuable in their development. They're not solitary animals, contrary to popular belief, and thrive in the company of other cats, particularly of similar age. My two boys were introduced at about 2.5 months and became best friends immediately. Now almost 2 years later, they're still brothers from other mothers....tight as can be. Regardless, Chelsea providing a loving home for this fortunate kitten is fantastic.
I agree with a second kitty, but a more affordable way to bring another cat home would be to adopt from a shelter. This way they would already be fixed and micro chipped and have most of their kitten shots. I would probably wait a couple of months until Gordo has been neutered. I’ve been a cat mom for a long time, I’ve had one cat and I’ve had up to four cats living with me and they are definitely happier with a kitty companion.
@@missmoonstone6260 this is very true. People complain about the cost of adopting a cat, not realizing that the shelter pays for ALL that stuff. I got a kitten from a friend and I had to pay out of pocket for all of the necessities. Trust me, it's cheaper to adopt lol 😅
It took me a long time to be able to watch this video because when it came out I just recently lost my cat Gatsby that was with me for 14 years. She rescued me not me rescuing her. She came into my life during a time I was really struggling and saved me. You are going to make the best cat mom! I'm so happy for you! Also I'm so glad you did your research before rescuing.
So at the end of April my husband was cleaning our boat and making sure the engine fired up to take it out on the lake. He went to shut the engine compartment and a small kitten appeared so he brought her into me. We decided to do what we could for her. Five hours later he was walking in the hot asphalt side of our property and heard something coming from a sticker bush. Another little kitten that was about two weeks younger then the first he found hours earlier. Here I was a total dog mom, but we figured we would foster these two little girls and ding them good homes. Well they did find a good home with us. I couldn’t part with them and they love each other so much I could separate them. You are right good things happen when we are not looking for them. I never thought I could love kittens or cats like my dogs but boy I sure do!!
Awww... He's so cute! You're an angel in disguise! I really appreciate what you did for that little life. Also, Please consider this as my humble request, please make sure the other kittens and the mother gets adopted. Get her spayed so that it'll be easy for her in the future. It's always good to have a company of their kind. Have you thought about adopting another of his sibling? If not please meditate on that. My heart melts seeing the mother and other babies on road. Please get them to a shelter. Ask if anybody wants, put them up for adoption. If you have an extra room you can keep them all till they get adopted. Thank You for choosing kindness, compassion and love. Sending you both my love, hugs, kisses and blessings. From India. 🤍💐🙏🏽
A little window hammock would be excellent when he's older! And as someone who lives in an apartment with a cat, I HIGHLY recommend FlatCats cat screens for the windows. They allow you and your cat to get fresh air without the risk of your cat falling out of the window chasing after insects etc.
OMG Chelsea you didn’t lie when you said that you had something extra coming this week. It’s so cute that you actually brought me to tears. Gordo’s definitely going to become the channel’s mascot.😻
Thank you for rescuing the little stray kitten! For myself, I couldn't help noticing that there was a little calico in that litter of three kittens. I love girl kittens and especially calicos, so I hope that somebody adopts that little calico, too.
When I was 11 my neighbour took in a stray cat who we discovered was pregnant and had four kittens. I watched them grown up from tiny tiny babies to opening their eyes and taking their first steps and begged for us to keep one. 17 years later my Maggie is my whole world, and even moved out with me. Watching this brought back all those memories of her first days as a tiny kitten in her new home and me running home from school the day I was to get her. Looking forward to seeing you both make lots of cute and happy memories as Gordo grows 🥰
I have two rescue Maine Coon cats and I wouldn’t be without them. They are high maintenance at times, indoor cats, but their love, companionship and consistency are worth every penny. He is adorable
We had a Norwegian who was a magnificent little man. He was an outside boy and acted like he didn't want affection, but he melted. He became an indoor cat and was a cuddle buddy and scary smart.
Gordo is cuteness overload. I know your channel will become a cat channel for a while and I love it! Only recommendation, change the towel on the bathroom floor to white or orange, he blends in so well with the brown towel. You’d hate to have a late night pee and, I can’t even say it but you know.
We saved our kitten from the side of the road when he was 6 weeks old, my husband named him Mr. Ghee. He is such a great cat. Excited for you to feel the love of a rescue! ^_^
you don't even know how excited I was to watch this when I first saw the thumbnail! Gordo is perfect, im so happy for you! can't wait until my cat finds me
Congratulations! If I didn't love your channel already - this just pushed you to the top. We did cat rescue for about 15 years in the past and I am a confirmed cat fanatic!!! Yay - congratulations to both of you!!
I’m not even a cat person and Gordo is quite possibly one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. You said he makes your house a home, and I love that.😊❤❤
First, I was sooo happy to get an alert you posted today unexpectedly. Second, even more excited you adopted a kitten!!!!!! I'm a cat mom to two boys, and my younger cat i knew was the one when he was the only one not meowing at me at the cat sanctuary when he was a kitten!!! Congrats!! 💙💙 Ps. Some plants are cat friendly!! I have over 100 houseplants, and the only ones my cats mess with are the spider plants but I keep those up high. Just stay away from pothos and philos. 😊
As a parent of a long haired boy myself DEFINITELY get him used to being brushed as soon as possible! I have a cranky one on my hands now that he's 7 and he despises being brushed, but he gets so many knots. Gotta keep up with it :) Have fun with your Gordo boy! He's adorable!
Awww! Gordo! Such a cutie! 🥰 And you’re already such a wonderful cat mom, Chelsea! I love how you prepared everything for him. Looking forward to all the forthcoming adventures with you and him! 🐱
Congratulations!!! You make me want a third one!!! 😂 Keep touching him as he eats so he doesn’t get aggressive around food. Also, when he gets used to you in like a week, get some neighbors or friends over few times a week so that he gets used to different people coming and going. I did this with my younger cat. He is so friendly and playful with anyone visiting. My other cat freaks out and hides in the closet for hours.
I just had to say goodbye to my soulmate kitty of 17 years about a month ago…definitely teared up watching you in the very beginning stages of a lifelong bond with your sweet Gordo. ❤ Bless you for taking him in, you will be the absolute best cat mama. 🥰
Gordo, Gordito, is such an endearing name for a pet! You are rocking this new mom situation , and I have my suspicions that Gordo is going to be so spoiled. Please keep him in your content❤❤❤
I have never been so genuinely happy to click on a video so fast. As a cat mom myself I can say with much love and certainty you are going to love being a cat mom they are beyond amazing animals and companions ❤❤❤ Also, love his name !
This is so exciting!! If you can I would definitely adopt one of his siblings too! I was in a very similar situation where a friend found a kitten and I planned on adopting her and then she found her sister and told me I had to either take both or none. I originally never planned on getting 2 kittens but I was already so committed to getting the first so I took both. It ended up being the best possible decision, they are best friends and keep each other entertained and always are together and helps them stay out of trouble. Also my cats are so well behaved and don't bite or scratch people and they say that if a kitten is raised as a single cat it never learns not to bite/ scratch because they learn that those things hurt as babies by playing with other kittens so when they don't have that experience they tend to be more nippy. Just food for thought, but congratulations either way!
Shaking screaming crying right now at how CUTE the little baby is. Ohhhhhh it's going to be such a snuggly and nice and loving time!!!! SO happy for you!!!! this gave me serotonin for the rest of june🥰🥰🥰🥰
GORDITO CRUNCH are you kidding me 😭😭💗💗 the only thing that could've made your channel better is becoming a cat mom channel, you're gonna be a great cat mom I can already tell. Happy for you girl!
Oh my god, Chelsea! How freaking awesome is this?!?! As a cat mom of almost 30 years, I cannot express how awesome it is to be loved by a feline! Some unsolicited advice: keep the water bowl away from the food bowl, create a sleeping nook for him that is almost fully enclosed to feed into his natural protection instinct, buy a litter box that is way too big for him now that he'll grow into far faster than you could imagine and place it somewhere quiet (plus be ready to move it, cats are real fussy about this), get a scratching post or your furniture will be ruined, and get him a variety of toys to play with and play with him a lot. Hope this helps and have fun with your furry friend 😍 Edit: Nevermind , you're an experienced cat lady yourself who doesn't need my advice🤣
My 18.5 year old cat came to us at 5 weeks, and she was great. Stood up to our three adult cats and five dogs. Now, Im a widow living with two dogs and one old cat. Daisy used the litter box from the first day.
Your cat-proofing at the start of the video proves you are gonna be a great cat-mom! My only advice is keep hair-ties away from her (don't leave them out or lose track of them) as someone who spent a LOT of money retrieving it from one of my cats intestines (I never left them out, I think he may have gotten a hold of one that had fallen out of my hair at night). Anything small remove. Also any cat toys with bits (like felt eyes, string tails etc) remove the excess bits as they can chew it off and swallow them which CAN become a blockage. My motto is better a paranoid party-pooper than sitting in the animal hospital. :D Good luck! She will be the best family you could ask for!
Sorry.... "he". :D I just watched further in the video. Another thing that I had was try and remove and soft towels/blankets during the potty-training stage. They can sometimes thing that is good place to go to the toilet (as they can move the towel with their paws to cover).
So Happy for You and Gordo!! He’s so adorable!! My husband and I went to a pet shop thinking we were going to get one kitten and we ended up getting both of the kittens in the window . I never regretted getting them both because they play with one another and they’re not lonely . Pers make a house a home . I can’t imagine not having my cats Chelsea God bless you and little Gordo.💕🙏🩷🎉🎊
I can't believe how good he is being! For a 'stray' kitten, he is so chill. Doesn't cry for his siblings and mother, wasn't very skittish even from the first moments, he's cute as a button!, smart as a whip, I love him already and you are such a good mother!
I am so excited for you on this new journey, Chelsea! I'm also so excited to watch Gordo grow up and form his personality! You're gonna be the best cat mom ♥Glad the cat distribution system is working perfectly, as intended!!
Hi Chelsea! Gordo is adorable. We’ve had many cats over the years but my favorite was a black tomcat that adopted us. He was so sweet and protected me from a stray dog that snuck up on me while I was preoccupied washing my car. Cats rock (dogs too)! I like that you are keeping his travel crate out and open so he gets used to it and is not afraid. You’ll have to change your title to: Just the two of us living together in NYC!! 🐾💗
Bonus video!!! It's been SO hard keeping this secret!!🐈⬛I could not be more excited to welcome Gordo into our online family 💘 He's actually the love of my life I think lol. Sometimes the best things come into your life when you least expect it. As I'm writing this he's napping next to me 🥹 cuteness overload
My Boots often naps ( & PURRS !) right next to me when I watch your videos ! She’s a fan, tooo !
So happy for you!
The best things can come so unexpectedly! My dog came to me through the stray dog distribution 😭 She’s been so good to me
You’re almost 100,000❤❤❤
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

Litter box training? Kitties generally just need to be placed in the box once or twice and they instinctually know what to do. No real training required...
Enjoy this incredibly cute boy!
Did they get reported and then charged for animal abandonment? Thank you for opening your heart and home to the kitty.
There's a special place in hell....
Aww. Awesome story. ❤❤❤❤❤
my only recommendation for gordo is to have friends over so he gets used to other people! he’s super cute and i’m so glad you found him!!
That's great advice!

He's such a playful kitten.
Gordo is a ladies man. Less than 24 hours and has you already wrapped around his paws!!! He is everything: fun, chill, charming! Congratulations mama!
not me sat here crying. what a perfect angel baby Gordo is!
Same here😭😭😭
Me too😂😢
Sammmmeeee, he's so tiny❣️
Me too 😭😭 I’m just here sobbing. I’m so happy for Gordo and you, Chelsea 💖
Me too 💔💔💔
I don't think Gordo could have a better mother. He's a lucky boy. ❤
Cats add so much comfort and fun. You’ll love having him.
Thank you for giving him a home. What a beautiful boy. If you could stretch at all to take a second one, you wouldn't regret it. Kittens do so well in bonded pairs and you'd be rewarded every day seeing their bond.

These are some of my favorite cat products. Some of these might work better for him as he gets older.
- SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post
- Da Bird wand toy. I have to hide this because my cats go crazy for the feathers.
- UAH wireless pet fountain. I have two of these and all of my cats love them.
- Yeowww catnip toys. These are fully filled with catnip and I have to keep these hidden as well b/c my kitties have torn them apart.
- Sheer Fun For Cats. It's a sheer blanket with crinkly edges and my cats love when I drag toys underneath.
I'm so happy for you and Gordo! You're doing an amazing job so far and I'm looking forward to watching him grow.🙂

@@gloriinher40s I have done it both ways and yes, a shelter adoption is way more affordable!

OMG Chelsea you didn’t lie when you said that you had something extra coming this week. It’s so cute that you actually brought me to tears. Gordo’s definitely going to become the channel’s mascot.😻

Gordo immediately made me think of Lizzie Maguire even before you revealed that he was your favourite character. So happy for you! 🥰
Same here! I was so happy when she said that this is where the name is from 😀🥰
Holy fur balls - Gordo is freakin PRECIOUS!!! I'm so excited for you and Gordon and all the future kitty content!

You’re the best cat mom ever, every cat deserves someone like you ❤️
the scream i scrumpt seeing this thumbnail!!! so excited for you :) little gordo is so precious!
Must admit, I started watching your channel because of Gordo's beauty.🥰
You just cant find beautiful content like this anymore! Thank you Chelsea for blessing us on our feeds. Love you!
First, I was sooo happy to get an alert you posted today unexpectedly. Second, even more excited you adopted a kitten!!!!!! I'm a cat mom to two boys, and my younger cat i knew was the one when he was the only one not meowing at me at the cat sanctuary when he was a kitten!!! Congrats!! 💙💙
Ps. Some plants are cat friendly!! I have over 100 houseplants, and the only ones my cats mess with are the spider plants but I keep those up high. Just stay away from pothos and philos. 😊
I feel like this kitten is going to fill your life with love. I also think she will never have to worry about love.
Love that he makes your house a home.
As a parent of a long haired boy myself DEFINITELY get him used to being brushed as soon as possible! I have a cranky one on my hands now that he's 7 and he despises being brushed, but he gets so many knots. Gotta keep up with it :) Have fun with your Gordo boy! He's adorable!
great advice, thank you ❤
My long hair cat, Clarence, likes to be brushed when he eats 🤣🤣🤣
He actually demands it.
Bless you for adopting this little angel.🙏
What a beautiful addition to your life Chelsea. He’ll keep you on your toes ❤❤❤
Love you Chelsea!!! Thank you for rescuing him
Awww! Gordo! Such a cutie! 🥰 And you’re already such a wonderful cat mom, Chelsea! I love how you prepared everything for him. Looking forward to all the forthcoming adventures with you and him! 🐱
Congratulations!!! You make me want a third one!!! 😂 Keep touching him as he eats so he doesn’t get aggressive around food. Also, when he gets used to you in like a week, get some neighbors or friends over few times a week so that he gets used to different people coming and going. I did this with my younger cat. He is so friendly and playful with anyone visiting. My other cat freaks out and hides in the closet for hours.

so sorry for your loss Xx
@@christinabellamoore thank you so much for your kind words ❤ bless you
He couldn't be more perfect. ❤
Gordo, Gordito, is such an endearing name for a pet! You are rocking this new mom situation , and I have my suspicions that Gordo is going to be so spoiled. Please keep him in your content❤❤❤
Yes 🎉 welcome to the Cat Lady Club. A pet is so good for mental health, great job Chelsea!
Congratulations on becoming a 🐈 cat Mom. Gordo is adorable..
I have never been so genuinely happy to click on a video so fast. As a cat mom myself I can say with much love and certainty you are going to love being a cat mom they are beyond amazing animals and companions ❤❤❤
Also, love his name !
This is so exciting!! If you can I would definitely adopt one of his siblings too! I was in a very similar situation where a friend found a kitten and I planned on adopting her and then she found her sister and told me I had to either take both or none.

So true 😂 I took in a kitten and she thought I was a chew toy until she got a playmate! You will be a wonderful kitty momma!
Congratulations, your initiation into crazy cat lady-dome has begun. From here on you will rise the ranks one cat at a time.
He's precious 💞 I pray his little siblings are also blessed with good homes.
Me too! I’ve asked to stay updated :) if they have trouble adopting the rest I might take another LOL

As a fellow boy cat mum I’m sooo excited for this content! I’m so happy for you cats are the best 💜
Cat distribution at its finest; Gordo has gotten a great mom! I'm so happy for you both!
GORDITO CRUNCH are you kidding me 😭😭💗💗 the only thing that could've made your channel better is becoming a cat mom channel, you're gonna be a great cat mom I can already tell. Happy for you girl!
Oh my god, Chelsea! How freaking awesome is this?!?! As a cat mom of almost 30 years, I cannot express how awesome it is to be loved by a feline! Some unsolicited advice: keep the water bowl away from the food bowl, create a sleeping nook for him that is almost fully enclosed to feed into his natural protection instinct, buy a litter box that is way too big for him now that he'll grow into far faster than you could imagine and place it somewhere quiet (plus be ready to move it, cats are real fussy about this), get a scratching post or your furniture will be ruined, and get him a variety of toys to play with and play with him a lot. Hope this helps and have fun with your furry friend 😍
Edit: Nevermind , you're an experienced cat lady yourself who doesn't need my advice🤣
Thank you so much!!!! Great advice ❤️
Every cat is the best cat ever ❤ he's so adorable ✨
My 18.5 year old cat came to us at 5 weeks, and she was great. Stood up to our three adult cats and five dogs. Now, Im a widow living with two dogs and one old cat. Daisy used the litter box from the first day.
Your cat-proofing at the start of the video proves you are gonna be a great cat-mom! My only advice is keep hair-ties away from her (don't leave them out or lose track of them) as someone who spent a LOT of money retrieving it from one of my cats intestines (I never left them out, I think he may have gotten a hold of one that had fallen out of my hair at night). Anything small remove. Also any cat toys with bits (like felt eyes, string tails etc) remove the excess bits as they can chew it off and swallow them which CAN become a blockage. My motto is better a paranoid party-pooper than sitting in the animal hospital. :D Good luck! She will be the best family you could ask for!
Sorry.... "he". :D I just watched further in the video. Another thing that I had was try and remove and soft towels/blankets during the potty-training stage. They can sometimes thing that is good place to go to the toilet (as they can move the towel with their paws to cover).
I knew there was a bonus video coming but a adopting a kitten is such great unexpected news, well done Chelsea!
Good for you! CONGRATULATIONS!! Thank you for rescuing her. 🫶
Gordo was meant to be yours! ❤️
I'm so happy for you xxx There's no going back now .. Once a cat mom...always a cat mom :) Welcome to the club xx
Not me starting to cry the moment Gordon started purring...
So Happy for You and Gordo!! He’s so adorable!! My husband and I went to a pet shop thinking we were going to get one kitten and we ended up getting both of the kittens in the window . I never regretted getting them both because they play with one another and they’re not lonely . Pers make a house a home . I can’t imagine not having my cats Chelsea God bless you and little Gordo.💕🙏🩷🎉🎊
I can't believe how good he is being! For a 'stray' kitten, he is so chill. Doesn't cry for his siblings and mother, wasn't very skittish even from the first moments, he's cute as a button!, smart as a whip, I love him already and you are such a good mother!
Congrats on being a kitten mom. i hope you and gordo are always healthy and happy.
also you had me at "I rescued a stray kitten" LOVE IT.
I am so excited for you on this new journey, Chelsea! I'm also so excited to watch Gordo grow up and form his personality! You're gonna be the best cat mom ♥Glad the cat distribution system is working perfectly, as intended!!
Thank you for rescuing the little fur ball. Love his name, so perfect! 😻
Congratulations! Having a cat means to be close to the top level of maslows pyramid. And that is superb. 😊
awww so cute🥰 waking baby up at 2am to see if they're breathing is a parent thing, don't worry... congrats, Chelsea! You're a mom💖
So happy you have Gordo. You need him🐞
Hi Chelsea! Gordo is adorable. We’ve had many cats over the years but my favorite was a black tomcat that adopted us. He was so sweet and protected me from a stray dog that snuck up on me while I was preoccupied washing my car. Cats rock (dogs too)! I like that you are keeping his travel crate out and open so he gets used to it and is not afraid. You’ll have to change your title to: Just the two of us living together in NYC!! 🐾💗
this is exactly what i needed. i'm melting.
Ok so my heart just exploded the first 10 seconds ❤❤❤
😻 Congratulations! Gordo is lucky to have landed such a warm, loving, DEDICATED caretaker! The cat distribution system continues to prevail! 🐈 ❤️
oh my god gordo must be protected at all costs
I 10000% agree
Man, I love the cat distribution system! Gordo is gorgo!
