A potentially dangerous situation was averted when the Davie County sheriff department and The HSUS's Animal Rescue Team helped save an African Serval cat and many other hybrid and domestic cats from a cat mill.

My neighbor adopted the cross eyed cat and he's doing amazing he gets around just fine and he is a wonderful pet
That one was so adorable
That is amazing! Hope everything goes well! :D
This is a crazy cat lady on a whole new level.
Welcome To the Trash Parade okay but tru
Welcome To the Trash Parade that's very true and its heart breaking though also I love your user name
Your username is amazing
Nahhhhh, most cat ladies rescue and take care of their kitties. It's different from animal hoarding or running a kitten mill.

Why is it so hard for people to get their head around the fact that exotic animals aren't pets?
PureNightfall Ikr! It's ridiculous
PureNightfall yea like the only exotic animal that is a pet is certain birds and chameleons
Like not TIGERS OR SOME CRAP LIKE THAT
PureNightfall They should be in the wild where they're happy
Flowerbleach I think keeping birds in cages is the height of cruelty, same with reptiles or any animal for that matter. Cages are prisons.
I don't know the birds are bred into captivity with human touching stuff they can't survive when they're black go outside taking a bird from the wild and putting it in a cage I don't agree with but reptiles we saw what happens when people let those loose in Florida they have a massive problem and now they have to be exterminated so we just need to stop the breeding and people need to adopt not shop
This is so sick. Breeding with a wild cat, a 'twisty cat', and it looks like the kittens had their tails docked.
This breeder did everything cruel and wrong.
Are people INTENTIONALLY breeding “twisty” cats?!
@@animaanimus8011 Yes, Sadly
people like this disgust me! How can you be so cruel to animals!? Animals are one of the most loyal creatures you can ever know, no matter if they're exotic, domesticated, wild or not, they're the most loving creatures to their family their pack, their pride, their herd or whatever, you want to call it! I think people who abuse animals and mistreat them are extremely disgusting to me! anybody who abuse period are disgusting bullies!
Moki Me if they be cruel to the animal they be cruel to them self >:(((
I wish this organization arrives to Europe. I know so many places where people is selling exotic animals in the black market. Thanks for your work, really. Best wishes from Catalonia.
Theu have the International Humane Society.. look them up and report that horror..hope you're still around...
How could humans being so crual? That's disgusting.. Thanks a lot, HSUS.
+BestFighterGokuSSJ3 that's the disturbing part about these people , I honestly don't think they are people . human , , or even have a beating heart , cos it shows in the eyes of these animals\
I am so glad that a sheriff was willing to do something about this
Thank god you people have rescued so many cats, dogs & animals from horrible places, etc. You are a blessing
to everyone and all animals!
The thought of a chance an animal was left behind is making me cry
Ordinary people doing extraordinary acts of kindness...thanks Humane Society!
I salute the brave, dedicated members of the Humane who put their safety on the line, and step into situations where other people have NOT been responsible, or looked after the animals in their care.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that is saying that there pets are treated amazingly, I work/volunteer at a no kill shelter and to know that your animals are being given a home and love makes me feel amazingly
With out people like you the world would be chaos I'm 12 and I look up and respect you guys
I agree wholeheartedly. This video is old but still very important.
Thank you for the rescue. I adore your strength. God bless you.
Exotic pets should be banned and facilities like breeding should be shut down, all exotics pets need to be illegal and end this BS!
K S I know you’re mad but I don’t agree this woman did everything wrong in breeding the animals she’s obviously not experienced like other professionals
No what your talking about before you shoot your mouth off. I have 2 savannahs f3 & an f4 This breed has been around for 30 yrs and are NOTHING like a wildcat! A pitbull or a doberman are 1000 times more dangerous. They kill birds and only birds in the wild. That cat that saved the kid from the pitbull on line was a savannah f6 f7. That's the kid of pets these cats make. Smart loyal & lovable & very strong. Most of the people on the thread don't know what the hell they're talking about. These government assholes pretending to be hero's are doing way more damage than they are solving. All they have done is probably killed most of those wonderful cats!!! That sheriff is a fucking idiot.
Cali C Those animals were in horrible conditions, you could see that Serval was losing his mind. It’s because of people like you, who seek out certain breeds because they look a certain way, that breeders even exist and that there are millions of pets in shelters. No breeders should exist until every animal shelter is empty and all those animals are in loving homes.
Exotic pets shouldn’t be banned, I say people should just take better care of them.
@Tyco Zer0 no, just… no. Tigers should never be “pets”. Monkeys and apes should never be “pets”. Elephants should never be “pets”. Absolutely not.
We need to support these wonderful organizations and good people who TRULY help and care for the innocent any way we can.
It’s one thing to be a “crazy cat lady” but this is over the top
Oh btw. Thank you, all you amazing people out there who have the passion to dedicate your lives in saving theses animals and the world we live in. Thank you. ❤️ I hope someday we can all give back to you for what you have risk or dedicated your lives for, and hope one day we won't have to.
Thank you God for these wonderful organizations and good people like The Humane Society who TRULY care and help these innocent animals and children and our planet. Please bless them always with good health and good lives and bless them with all they need to continue saving lives. In Jesus name Amen 🙏
God bless the wonderfull work that you guys do
Can I Just Say I Love You Guys SO Much For Saving These Poor Species Especially The African Serval.
Me too.
I'm so happy there is some kind hearts on this earth.
I don't think people understand how different a hybrid can be from a domestic cat. We adopted a kitten from a pretty well known pet store chain (Not gonna name names, but it's one of the big ones) they told us he was just a tabby (he was only 8 weeks old at the time). So we took him home and once he started growing we began to have doubts about him being "just a tabby". So we took him to a vet and they told us he was actually a hybrid, part Asian Leopard and part Bengal. He had already been with us and had grown attached to me so we weren't gonna give him up, but he was a handful. Like they stated in the video, he was unpredictable around strangers, he could either full on attack them, or snuggle right up to them. He was also very intelligent and could open all of the doors in our house (and even the cage at the vet!) and he was huge! I'm not gonna get into everything he did, but people should really understand that hybrids should only be taken in by someone who knows what they're doing.
so she was breeding the serval with other cats, what a horrible person
Making Savanah cats.
Why is that horrible
Emily Jane
Because she was making deformed-breed cats and wild cats, not taking proper care of these animals.
@@emw4375 if in nature a serval and a cat won't breed together, it has a reason. Their genes are too far off, it's simply another species. So why do you think it's not horrible?
A hybrid isn’t a species. It’s an animal created by two different species. These animals are often infertile and suffer other health problems. Hybridization happens so rarely in the wild because it is God’s way of protecting his creatures from being inbred, having deformities, being infertile, etc.
You guys are like Heroes to me and to all the animals you saved :)
I agree!
These people are amazing. After seeing this, I was bawling my eyes out and puked at least twice. I don’t understand why humans do this just for money. Lives are more important, making this all the more heartbreaking. I help animals myself, such as if they were caught in nets or needed food, just basic things. But by doing this, these animals’ lives will be saved. I have always owned rescues. My favorite was my beagle, who was in an abusive home, sleeping outside, and he was there for about six years and we owned him for four. He died at ten with a tumor in his mouth, making it unable for him to eat and breathe that we just had to put him to rest. Buddie was the best dog on Earth, no matter what others may say. He was very sweet. If I were him, I surely would never trust any person again, and yet he did, with me and creating a powerful bond between us that could never be broken, no matter the consequences. He died two years ago, when I was ten-and-a-half. He was the same age as me, and I still cannot get over his death. This inspired me to help animals, no matter how untame and feral they may be, because I know, in the end, they still need love.
I know I said this before but I have to say it again.
Thank you and bless you, Humane Society. May good things come for you.
Every time I see someone say "Aww I want one!" it makes me want to reach through the screen and slap them stupid. The sheer lack of common sense it must take for someone to think that there's no harm involved in owning an exotic or breeding hybrids...it's just inhuman. Servals were meant to be in Africa. Savannahs were never meant to exist. A pox on the people who breed them anyway and a pox on those who buy the results. Millions of critters die, miserable and alone in shelters all over this country and yet there's people out there, an alarming number of them, who just want a designer pet. The hubris and ignorance of our species.
+Reaching Higher Do some research. Servals were domesticated thousands of years ago and make great pets for people that take the time to do the research on their needs. Savannahs are a wonderful breed, I have two of them and would have more if I could. Finally DO NOT blame owners of exotics for the millions of animals in shelters, put the blame where it belongs, the irresponsible pet owners that do not spay and neuter, the ones that just let the animals loose when they are too much bother.
+Cindy Mason I'm sure your Savannah cats are beautiful pets Cindy, and yes humans have domesticated cats over hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean we need to continue breed wild animals for our personal enjoyment in the modern day. We have so many different cat breeds at our finger tips, and yet we still insist on snatching creatures from the wild like Savannah cats, because we can't be satisfied with what we already have. Why not own already domesticated breed and put money and energy into conserving the Savannah cats natural habitat, so future generations can enjoy this beautiful creatures like we can?
Also, blame does partly have to be given to the owners of exotics breeds. If there weren't people buying exotic pets the trade would never exist.
Amy Martin
Exactly! Well said!
@@cindymason6276 servals are not domesticated, where the hell did you get that from?
God bless those people!!! How can a person go to sleep at night knowing that he/she destroyed the lives of so many innocent animals?
@Kidd8Kitty Thanks for wanting to help! They haven't been put to sleep - one group of them is still being held, as there is a dispute over ownership. The other cats have found homes, or placed with placement partners in the area. If you're interested, you can check out the Guilford Animal Shelter.
This is pure animal cruelty, These exotic Gorgeous animals shouldn’t be held captive! These wild animals aren’t supposed to be in a type of area like this. This is heart breaking..
When I am older I am going to be an animal rescuer I love watching people save animals lives I love watching RSPCA and Animal Humane Society
That person could go to jail for life that is just wrong on so many levels its wrong.
She was charged for animal cruelty, illegal breeding, and more
It makes me so happy that amazing people like you are willing to give all of these animals a second chance at life and knowing that some people treat animals as a toy or object rips me apart but you are saving these animals and I just want to say thank you
I'm so very glad y'all are there too. These videos make me cry in heartbreak, but they also let me feel grateful that the animals you save won't ever have to know that again. We NEED to turn all of these animal cruelty laws into felonies. And punish severely. Animals are the victims of this world. I'm glad you speak for them.
💔💔💔 speechless.... God bless you all... 😢
You're responsible to save all animal.bless you always.
God bless you savers to save these poor dieing death hungry animals god bless you
God bless the people that saved the animals bless them with the father the son and the holy spirit god bless you with my heart
i cry my eyes out every time i see this video. this year i plan to volunteer in animal shelters an help in need. i remember when i was younger i used to feed homeless cats, they have homes now :) i hope all those cats find a good home.
I was trying to convince my parents to buy me a bengal or savannah cat for my birthday. I'm very glad that I saw this and big cat rescue. I will DEFINITELY not be buying ANY kind of hybrid animal or wild animal of any sort now. thank you for saving these animals.
nothing wrong with owning a Bengal as long as you take care of it like any other cat. Savannahs not so sure.
@@lov3670 should never own a wild “pet” and definitely not support hybrid breeders.
@@lov3670 Bengal and Savannah cats only exist due to forced and unnatural cross-breeding between domestic cats and wild cat species. Did you know that often the domestic cat is killed by their intended "mate"? That any resulting offspring are usually sterile and thus useless to the breeders who created them? That they have serious behavioural problems due to being unnatural hybrids?
It's animal abuse just to cater to a few idiots who think they are too special to own a regular cat.
Those cats are so beautiful
thank you guys for helping these pore animals. god bless you all
thank you for saving them god
bless you all.
I am so glad that they got rescued. Now all those poor animals can start the good live they deserve
It is sad. Tks for helping innocent animals.
I hate the people who disliked this video.HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!!!!!im really thankful for the people that help.plz continue helping.i couldn't hold my tears.im really happy about the dogs.thank you so much!
Because the humane service has a nasty habit of euthanizing these exotic hybrid and exotic animals instead of bothering to take the time and money to properly place them
There was a man in my area who kept snakes
And these were species any rescue even a private rescue could keep wonderfully and very happy, and instead they just killed the snakes.
Put to death because they dared to be victims of neglect and not a domestic cat or dog
Despite begging and pleading from people who actually wanted them taken care of and in good homes.
these people are awesome and their time should not be wasted. I had a neighbor call a people from their agency out on to our property and he saw nothing wrong with my supposedly "too skinny" dog (she's a German shorthair for Pete's sake) my 30 something rabbits were also apparently to skinny and "mistreated" along with my goats. now while one does have a deformity, she was born with it and she moves around, eats and breathes just fine... the dude who came out said he might even go to watch my fair because he liked how the goat that I was going to show looked :- ) these people are awesome with what they do.
why the hell do you have 30 rabbits
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
go get em tiger! u take care of the animals so thank u and bless your heart for taking care of the amazing animals
@Travelwise65 Actually we work with our Emergency Placement Partners to help find homes for animals we rescued from cruelty and neglect. In this case, some are still being held while ownership is disputed. Others have been adopted, or placed with our placement partners to be put up for adoption.
Yeah, they cite her with misdemeanor offenses, but does that include PREVENTION TO JUST DO THIS AGAIN if she wanted to? She just has to buy a couple more, and start anew. Is there any kind of law or order against her, preventing her from doing so?
FilletMinion 😔
Shakespeare in Stilettos Trust me, she wouldn't be able to afford a normal kitten let alone an exotic cat after being charged.
I'm not sure if they do this in North Carolina, but I saw on another show one time that once you get a charge like that, some states won't allow you to get another pet for a certain amount of time or indefinitely (depending on how bad the charge I think)
No there is no jail penalty or anything in NC they just get a fine for what they have done it stupid they need to be locked up
I remember seeing this on the local news. Such a shame people do this.
❤😢❤"THANK YOU, SO MUCH".
DO reptiles such as iguanas count? often am inexperienced person will go hey i can get this cute little baby iguana and keep it in this 50 gallon tank a bought! little do they know this cute little baby will grow to be 6 feet long with huge claws and teeth. this can lead to a beautiful lizard living a horrible quality of life. many people get reptiles unknowing to the responsibility that come with it. Please do your research before purchasing a pet so that pet has a decent quality of life!
Maplesplash evey time I want a pet, my dad makes me look at articles about them, how big they get, how long they live, what do they live in. He always makes me petsit someone else's animal just to see how much work it is to take care of them.
Humane society will take reptiles too.
I got a snake that died. I miss it.
(I SWEAR IT WAS FINE, IN GOOD LIVING CONDITIONS. IT JUST DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES.)
I thank you for saving those poor animas
Love what you do, I want to be like you when i'm older.
That is a GORGEOUS Serval. I'm in LOVE with Servals.
Thank you for saving them💖
Thank you.. Thank you so much.
The one that had to crawl around, I had a cat like him/her that I got from my barn. I'm so sad, she's sooooo sweet
@thewiitry some are still in holding while ownership is disputed. Others were adopted out or placed with some of our Emergency Placement Partners in the area so that they can find homes.
Who would do such a thing! Thank you!!
Thanks for saving animals
I love my dog and to see this it is so sad to think that these poor animals live like this it breaks my heart 💔
god bless u all
3:09 omg that cat is so fluffy 😍😍😍
African Serval are gorgeous
Дядя Федя IKR 😍
I honestly don't understand people in this world ! and I don't understand the United States law ..
You're not alone!
I know, it sucks because animal laws are different in states/counties. so some animals are justified and many are not. its so upsetting.
sara h the united States is really a backward country and only americans find that hard to believe which tells you something about the Situation
AG that’s a rude statement to the majority of a race
Why would anyone treat such amazing cats like this? Servals are amazing and friendly animals.
Bless you, and merry Christmas.
I am so happy for you guys help animals I am really happy u guys are awsome!!
Good job human. I am with you.
when that serval walked oit of the door, it gave me the creepiest vibe ever. the way it walked was freaking killer like.
god bless thos cats heart thanks for saving them
There is savanna cat from somewhere in my neighborhood and he is the sweetest cat I have ever met
Kudos to the humane society 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It annoys me to no end how people want wild or half-wild animals. We all think they're beautiful, but most of us have the decency to leave them where they are happy. Savannah cats and huskies are very borderline to me, as they are almost always obtained because they look wild and have cute videos on RUclips. I have only ever seen one husky owner in my town who was fit to own such an active, independent dog. And I imagine it is the same with savannah cats... Stop getting animals for their beauty, people! If you want something big and wild-looking, be prepared to give it a space that is big and looks like the wild... Or in the case of a husky, be prepared to bike that dog at least 3 miles, 5 days of the week and invest in lots of training.
I've had much more issues with bloody DOMESTIC dogs, cats, than any hybrid wolves, bengals, etc. This was done PURELY FOR SHOW! I'm sure HSUS KILLED THEM ALL!!!
Thanks
I hope that I can work with them when I'm older
THANK YOU!!!!
My grandparents were telling me about this. They live in that county and I was horrified, so were they.
Thank God we have your guys back, without you. everything would been a disaster
@SPiiRiiTVV0LF some are still in holding while ownership is disputed. Others were adopted out or placed with some of our Emergency Placement Partners in the area so that they can find homes.
Love Bengal kitties 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ 1:17
I wanna work at the humane society i ❤️ animals
Same!!
Aww my dad and my dog kojak are in this video. If course my dad brings home the big dog living at the exotic hell for cats. HSUS my forever family and heroes..
Your dad is a thief
Omg that made me cry 😢😭
A tall cat with a cheetah pattern never seen such cat but very cute
OMG Adam is adorable!!!!
Would the African Serval be taken to a wild cat sanctuary?
Most likely.
Hopefully
That, to a rescue for small exotic cats, a professional private rescuer, or a AZA non profit zoological facility
It just depends on the animal and the resources available to them
I really want to be part of the team so I can rescue animals, but I've had no training and I'm only 13, and I don't live in the States.
Anyways, God bless you guys! You're amazing people!
u people are doing a great job.... well done 👏👏
Very cute nice and innocent animals
wahh this made me cry.My friends aunt owns 40 cats including 5 dogs she works for acpca.
I am no longer interested in Savanna cats
Not everybody breeds like this, some people take the time and put the effort into making sure their kittens are happy and healthy. A lot of savanna breeders are very responsible, sadly this one was not.
IMO, there's no way to humanely and responsibly keep a wild animal for breeding purposes. There's no reason to be taking completely undomesticated creatures from the wild and breeding them with domestic animals.
Because Ynot Some people buy "domesticated" servals from breeders, and that's wrong, but not every serval is ripped out of the wild. Plus, F1 savannas are not that common, most savanna cats I've seen from breeders at least, are F3-F7
they can be wonderful cats but you have to put in the time. also, vet bills are expensive
HumanTrashBin Regardless, there are millions of beautiful cats in shelters. No need to breed more into existence just because some people want designer cats.
I agree with this one...such a horrible situation for these animals...
at the start I was like "wtf is up with the goat?"
Power to them
