@@martineshamzin7535 the other cats didn’t want to get sick, they recognized hoe he was sick, then stayed away. The other cats didn’t chase him off because they were thinking: “I shouldn’t chase him off, he’s sick and I know I shouldn’t chase him because that would get me sick.” See? Not to be rude, but listen to the first comment.
I personally have seen Community Cat Colonies and Barn Cats not show aggression to strangers And I don't think it's because the "interloper" was ill. I HAVE seen what would pass for compassion in humans, shown to cats, by cats. Ferals have a rep because they have to struggle every day to survive.
He _really_ likes that pillow. Which makes me happy. For a creature that needs a lot of sleep, a comfortable spot is invaluable. Cats need a lot of sleep to be healthy when they're NOT sick. Its doubly important when they are.
I bawled watching the entire video. I fostered while I could physically. Enter spinal fusion surgeries (lumbar, cervical and soon... sigh... thoracic) and I couldn't do the very strenuous work involved. Weekly migraines that last for days... it's no life (except for a wonderfully supportive husband that allows me to pursue SS disability--something I've been fighting against doing since I was 27 and in a car wreck... a guy ran a red light and totaled my brand new Honda Del Sol in Samba Green... oh that car was FUN) a wreck that also totaled my back and neck. Otherwise I'd probably be running my own rescue operation. And I just may do that when we move back to San Diego (home! :) and I get volunteers to do the really physical stuff. Cat lovers (ALL animal lovers) RULE! But I've of course always been partial to cats.
@@SD-hc4nj he probably cried like I did... for the suffering he already endured and knowing countless kitties continue to suffer like he did, and worse.
Sara Allison And you are the exactly reason why I don’t care about homeless people, most of them fucked up their lives by choice, especially if you are in developed countries, there is no excuse for you to be homeless but drug addiction, poor life choice and laziness etc. We have a choice of what kind of life we want have and work on it, animals don’t.
@@potatorekt7046 You're really wrong about that man, I don't know if you've seen the cost of housing in the major cities of America right now, but it's really easy to end up homeless with just a bit of bad luck. I got layed off from my job with no notice once, and if I didn't have people who helped me through the rest of the month, I wouldn't have been able to make rent, and likely be homeless right now.
It breaks my heart thinking that there are probably hundreds of cats that don't get saved that lay out in the cold and die. People that do save them are like the light that shines in the darkness God bless them.
We don't shoot all feral cats on sight, what a load of crap. There are TNR programs in every major city and most councils have traps you can hire for free (pay a fully refunded deposit of a nominal amount for a week). I personally trapped a whole family of cats that took up under some hotel bins near my house and the kittens were all rehomed but sadly mumma cat had early renal failure so it was determined by the RSPCA that humane euthanasia was the best option. Yes our farmers and some ranger programs do have culling as an option, as would many countries around the world, many without the highly endangered wildlife we have that is in no way adapted to survive against master predators. If you want to hate anyone, hate the British that bought their cats with them into First Nation territory when they invaded and massacred people.
Lots of cats live in my neighborhood and you can hear them at night hissing and what sounds like fighting? Either that or there being attacked point is tho there’s a shit load of cats
Mike James has she come back? That’s so scary, my fur baby Hulk got locked in a garage during a long weekend after running out once. I put posters up and I got him home 3 nights later. Dirty and hungry but safe. I pray that your furbaby is okay 😿
My cat ran away years ago, got out one night after my dad came home from working extra late and he couldn't get her back in again. We put posters up and offered a big reward, the whole neighboorhood was looking for her. My dad luckily found her five days later
Rose Barron thank you so much ! i hope he's ok too, he was extremely friendly with everyone he met (especially kids) so i wouldn't be surprised if someone scooped him up
I must be an ice cold heart person. I heard his pleas and my thoughts were to get his vitals and listen to his chest and get some fluids into him if possible.
Almost seems like he heard from local cats that there was a safe human in the area that fed them & he came looking for help. Lovely seeing the transformation. Should be proud of yourself.
They'll also leave more food for pregnant and mother cats! Cats are also known for adopting orphaned kittens and other animals like puppies or baby birds. I never believe the people who say cats can't feel empathy
I have a cat with her kittens because she was on the streets and she doesn't likes my other cats, but I had one of my cats spayed and was weak and it was like the mother cat knew that and it didn't bother nor she got angry with her when she was close to her.
What a handsome cat. I loved seeing his transformation from ruggedly handsome kitty to pretty kitty. He seems like he has a beautiful personality too. I'm so glad another cat was rescued and taken from the streets.
I love how the other cats were so compassionate: they saw he clearly was very sick, so they wanted to share their food and shelter with him, instead of throwing him out. 🐈 Cats can have empathy just as humans can! ♥️♥️♥️
I believe it is also because they see that he is not a threat. Being sick and older, they know they don’t have to worry about kicking him out because he won’t try to assert dominance in their territory.
@@Tunt Agreed. I have two big cat houses in my yard. The permanent residents are a she-cat, her two feral children, and a crippled elderly cat. The she-cat and her progeny don't like the company of most male cats (including the two living in my house), but they don't mind that one cat, and cuddle with him even though he doesn't seem to be related to them (he has a tabby pattern, while the she-cat and all her offspring don't have it). It seems they don't perceive him as a threat.
I don't believe any of that is true. Some cats are treated with respect by other cats. They know they are strong or something. They are not built for compassionate acceptance.
@Kaththee1 I have a family of them! Mom and her 3 kids. Patches and her kids have lived with me for more than 5 years now. They are still feral in, except for Tiger (he was ALWAYS the brave one), in the sense that they don't like people. I added Tabby a little more than a year ago. He was born a few months previously in the feral colony in my yard, but, his mom had turned mean towards him, so I grabbed him. Every day, he gets a bit more into the domesticated cat routine. Recently, Tabby meowed at me for the first time. He comes to me for attention. He purrs when I pet him. However, like half of my other cats...he STILL runs away and hides when I have company!
I used to think like that, but after rescuing some feral cats. I realized it's kinda a personality thing. Some feral cats are mellow and friendly. Some pet cats are mean and wont let strangers pet them
He wasn’t feral, that is someone’s lost pet. That cat was so beautiful and chill, he was definitely loved by someone. PEOPLE, GET YOUR PETS MICROCHIPPED!! Great job by the people that rescued him and nursed him back to health ❤️❤️
Mine wear collars, double bonus because they are out door cats and the bells have saved many a squirrel, unfortunately chipmunks don't have great hearing, so they're still screwed.
This cat seemed strangely okay with everything that happened, considering you just dropped a cage around it, it just seemed like "well, guess this is aight."
The other cats probably new he was sick so they let him go first. There are alot of people who will feed the strays in my neighborhood (we are all big on capture spade and release) and its not uncommon for that kinda thing to happen
@@Iheartcatz I'm sure the organization looks after them and gets them vet care at any sign of illness. Just cuz they're feral doesn't mean Flatbush Cats doesn't take care of them 💜
One of the feral cats my Mom and I care for (her name is Mew, and she’s a sweet, 15-20 year old kitty) has some disabilities. The other feral cats do let her eat first. It’s interesting.
Julius looked so sick when you rescued him. You even gave him time to adjust to the area of the trap. You gave such careful thought into his capture and care. Thank you for caring for Julius and I hope his forever home is coming very soon.
He might have not been "neglected"... he could also have gotten lost somehow. I know of cats who have gotten lost while with cat sitters and their human family was out of town on vacation. The cats escaped probably in search of their human family and lost their way. It happens and it is devastating.
Music 10 Information 10 Camera work 10 Giving an animal a second chance at life is priceless and needs no score. Great channel, your video editing the quality, and the attention to detailed information in every video makes this valuable and educational. The background music you guys use is my favorite. Some channels about animals use the most annoying music. Thank you for having good taste! Edit: wow 9.5k, thank you so much for the love.
Any man who is a real cat lover will tear up at the sight and sound f a poor purr baby asking for help. Just the look on Julius's face as he was wandering around told you he was in pain and needed help. Then to see the final outcome as he was recovering just makes you cry with joy. He is such a handsome cat.
As a veterinary assistant, I can say at 6:00 I was so proud of this little guy!! He did so well for his shot and visit! Usually the outdoor kitties can be pretty wild because they don't understand what is happening. I was surprised with a"feral" stray this past week who was absolutely amazing for his visit. Gotta love them!
Your channel is like no other out there. Your narration truly sucked us into Julius' world. And you didn't use any sappy background music. It was just like a documentary, and it truly made us feel like we were caring for him along with you. Not only is what you do amazing, but so is your channel! Subscribed right away!
I have a ragdoll cat and Julius has a lot of ragdoll features, his physical features, the way his coat looks (after getting healthy), his total chill out personality, the way he sleeps, whoever adopted/adopts him is very lucky, hes a very special cat indeed.
I had a Ragdoll mix, she was the sweetest, most loving, and most beautiful cat I ever had. She got sick last year and the vet said she had cancer in her sinus. I kept her comfortable as I could for as long as I could, but when she wasn't hardly eating or drinking I couldn't bare to see her suffering and I had to put her to sleep. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. She passed one month and nine days before her sixteenth birthday. At least I had almost sixteen years with her. I still and may always love and miss her. I've got a lump in my throat and have been crying as I wrote this.
I was about to say this! I have a ragdoll too with also cream colour and they look alike.. we’ve had cats before but this one is the sweetest ever. She loves attention, never brings animals home, never uses her claws and loves to talk. She is the best ^_^ and very pretty, she reminds me of dutchess from aristocats
Sore thumbs I think what’s pathetic is that you’re heartless enough to feel no empathy towards suffering animals, if you think it’s “pathetic” don’t watch the video and move on.
Thank you! These videos take a ton of time to make (not even counting the actual rescue work) so I really appreciate your support! Hopefully these videos inspire others to help the cat on their block as well.
I recently took in a sick cat i found half starved under a bush. My other three cats were Unusually nice to him and have fully accepted him into their group. I always felt they know he is not well.
Almost seems like he heard from local cats that there was a safe human in the area that fed them & he came looking for help. Lovely seeing the transformation. Should be proud of yourself.
When Julius was playing for the first time, I cried. When I tell you I cried, I CRIED. So much. I’m so proud of him, and you for going down this amazing journey to provide him an amazing life. He truly deserved it and I wish Julius so many more years of happy life! :’)
This is the kind of compassion I'd hope an advanced lifeform from another planet treats us with. Imagine a person, sick and homeless, gets picked up by an alien, treated for the illness, cleaned up, given clean and comfy clothes, and adopted by a loving family of aliens. Sure, it might be slightly degrading to be seen as a silly pet, but it's a small price to pay for a happy and healthy life.
We are the aliens on this earth. We sinned, and it means death. God became man. *Jesus died in our place as a gift* and He invites us to eternal life. >> will you accept?

@@mrcrabs1282 People wanted ads so they go towards helping the cats, they already get support from donations and people want to help even if they can't donate so i support the idea of throwing in the ads. I don't think people would mind it since it would help these poor cuties.
OMG. One day my dog was barking at something in my yard. I found a frail, but friendly cat. URI. She was almost dead. Can't smell, so would not eat. I got her to a vet. I quarantined her for two weeks. She was as good as new. She decided to stay with us. She, and I had such a bond. I had her 12 years. She died of kidney issues, about three years. I have never missed a cat more. I love the cats I have now, but she and I were tight. Thanks so much for your hard work. I understand why you do it. I'm grateful. Julius looks wonderful! After Ezri passed, I found Tucker. A Maine Coon. He was seven, and his owner had a stroke. I took him in. Middle aged cats can be hard to place. I also have Mysty. She's been with me 9 years. She was thrown out as an older kitten in December. I took her in. I can only house, and handle two. My parents used to foster all animals from dogs to horses. I've seen some shit. Awful, awful shit. I've never desensitized to it, and it makes me not the right person to do the Hands-On stuff like that.
Sometimes you get such a special connection to 1 particular cat. I had that with my Scamp, rescued at the age of about 4 weeks from a very busy road. He had health problems most of his life. 'Flu as a kitten, diagnosed with HCM at 2 years old & stage 4 kidney failure in 2016, aged only 12. I nursed him for 3 years, giving subQ fluid & lots of medication every 6 hours. He was my soul mate. When we first met he was in a long room with about a dozen people looking at him. He saw my wife & I walk in & skittered down the entire length of the room, ignoring everybody else. He ran past my wife, & tried to jump into my arms. He wouldn't let go. He'd chosen his mum. We filled out the adoption paperwork with him still in my arms & he howled when we left. He wasn't allowed to come with us straight away because he was still ill with 'flu. Every time we visited he cried when we left. Once he finally came home, he was my shadow, for 15 years. I miss him so much. I doubt there's another cat out there with whom I'll bond so closely. I've lived with some wonderful cats, but Scamp was special & I'll love him until I die. Edited to add: when I say he was my shadow, he went everywhere with me in the house or garden. Like most cats, he hated touching water, but every time I had a bath, he'd either curl up on the side of the bath & tolerate the odd splash or actually curl up on me if I laid down, provided the water didn't cover where he laid.
@@shedevil50337 I totally understand that type of bond. I got my soulmate in '79 and from the start our friendship and bonding started to grow. She passed away at age 21 1/2 yrs most from old age problems on April 7th, 2001. She knew I adored her and got away with almost anything. She was the most perfect cat I could ever imagine. I've a few cats now and I love them but she will always be my special girl.
My special bond was with my Princess. Princess only laid next to me and she always slept with me. Every night. U had her for about two years. I’m certain she was either hunted by coyotes in the woods, because she could not run straight ( she easily fell and was very wobbly ), or someone in the neighborhood in the woods behind our house found her. But We searched the neighborhood with a picture or her. I was so heartbroken. I was only 6. My poor baby. Her brother, Charming, was still with us, though he had the same wobbly run and the same pattern as princess, he was always outside and snuggled more with my parents than me. He was also lost about a year later. My friend’s grandma had some kittens living in her barn. I went to go see them with my parents, with the hopes of adopting one. We ended up getting Rascal and Tiger Lily. Rascal was also lost about a year later. Rascal was the sweetest cat I’ve EVER owned. He snuggled endlessly and rubbed everyone for a friendly greeting. Tiger acted just like Princess did, snuggled often and slept next to me in bed. I still have Tiger, and pictures of Princess are hanging in my room. But the hardest part was, last year we moved houses and I felt like I was leaving all of my babies behind. I remember Rascal. I would never forget his friendly mood and beautiful blue eyes and gray tabby pelt. This is really hard to write about. He was so young, only about a year old. I can’t write about this anymore, sorry
@@sammsu4668 I know u very young when you had these kitties but WHY didn't your parents keep the cats always indoors. Esp after losing one they still let the others roam around. I'm in the city but there are still many ppl who let there care roam free without even spaying them. Most get hit by cars or are poisoned or killed by scumbags. Pls everyone keep ur cats inside ALWAYS!
@Chai'naMarie03 Oh also, it’s in the cats nature to be outside. I understand that you live in a city so that’s VERY dangerous for kitties. Cats have bodies that are made for outdoors, even if my 7-year old self wouldn’t say that. We lived on a farm, and that’s where the kitties needed to be. Princess and Charming had disabilities, and Rascal was just too friendly.
i lost my brother and sister in the woods. they came back after walking through knee high water we have found snake skin in before to grab a kitten. her name is sandy and she has not tried to bite or scratch us ever. she ran away and came back with an infected tail cancer but shes ok now
I found a black and white kitten in the woods as well. 6 weeks old at best. I didn't have to catch him, because he was calling out to us (me & my friend were walking her dog.) His fur was full of insect eggs and one of his eyes couldn't open. I don't think he was out there more than a week, considering he was still alive. Probably abandoned by someone with an unneutered cat. Well, he's got a home with me now.
0:50 you've just proven that cats have a society, the first signs of civilization is the ability to care for someone whos sick or hurt instead of naturing it out
@Bill Blass actually there are 5 crowns were given upon entering heaven, assuming there is one, bud. soooo....don't be so literal. this man gets 6. the 6th one is the crown of cats.

@@muhdiversity7409 We seem to do that almost daily as we're constantly cleaning up after 5 of them! That a cat litter by the dump truck load! Or it seems that way. Probably about 80 lbs. a week is an accurate consumption level for us.

Poor lad was feeling so icky he didn't even fight the trap. Even his protest meows were so weak. Thank you for helping him ❤️ watching him go from bun, to loaf, to performing cat yoga on his cushion made my heart so happy, what a sweet boy!
Pro tip for helping sick cats heal faster when sleeping on a pad/bed. Put the pad in a pillow case so you can wash the pillowcase everyday, thus minimizing the infection contact for the healing cat. 💖
What a lovely boy! He was so good at the vets, so calm and still friendly. Such a lovely rescue, thank you for saving him. I hope he gets all of the love his owners could possibly give.
Thank you for doing what you do. I have a dog, and he chases cats, I have a brain aneurysm, which makes is harder on me.... but I so am thankful of all of the things you do, as with people who love dogs, they are my world now, and I'm so thankful of what you do! seriously..... Thank you.
From the first moment I saw him, how he was acting and the general vibe he gives, I knew he would be very sweet. He also gives me the impression to have grow up in a home, but got lost or abandoned.
although starving, sick and no doubt in pain, he was incredibly sweet and loving; and definitely was begging for help. So glad you saved him and he has a home. He’s a wonderful cat. So sweet. A exceptionally precious angel cat. Even when being bathed, brushed and given needles. He deserved a second chance 💯. And I have no doubt he appreciated every bit of it and is incredibly grateful which is why he gives so much love ❤️
I love cute wholesome videos like this. My grandparents spent their time rescuing cats that people threw on the roads because it made them sad. Even after my grandmas passing my grandpa still adopts stray kitties who pass by his house because he keeps food and water our for them
@@WolfFireheart They will yowl, growl, hiss and trill to one another. But not meow. Cats only meow to humans if they either lived in a house with them, or if they were semi feral and used to being around people while living on the streets. Otherwise the cat would be growling/hissing here. If he wasn't a pet, he was definitely at the very least accustomed to human interaction
Not true. I’ve seen many cats meow at each other. Today my sisters foster cat was returned and she saw her sister and both meowed at each other trying to get near each other.
I see it in the ferals I take in as well. I primarily socialize ferals and can guarantee you they meow. They usually won’t when we’re around because they’re not comfortable but when they think we’re not near they will meow at my resident cats.
@@NeuronalAxon We think she got bitten by a spider (I live in Australia) and unfortunately she didn't make it. She had a permanent runny nose and sniffle due to a birth defect which is why this kitty reminded me of her. The rest of the colony is adapting surprisingly well without her though, which is one slight positive.

@Sara Allison Then why the #$%@ are you spewing hate in this channel that's dedicated to lovingly revive lost, starving cats?! Loser.
Sara Allison And you are the exactly reason why I don’t care about homeless people, most of them fucked up their lives by choice, especially if you are in developed countries, there is no excuse for you to be homeless but drug addiction, poor life choice and laziness etc. We have a choice of what kind of life we want have and work on it, animals don’t.
@@potatorekt7046 You're really wrong about that man, I don't know if you've seen the cost of housing in the major cities of America right now, but it's really easy to end up homeless with just a bit of bad luck. I got layed off from my job with no notice once, and if I didn't have people who helped me through the rest of the month, I wouldn't have been able to make rent, and likely be homeless right now.
Love to the poor street cat and savers, God bless you all
ok but can we talk about HOW HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY AT THE VET OMG i love him lmao
Ma cat behaves like him at the vet but is still scared.
Such a sweet lil floofer!!

Me: Already crying
Cat: Sleeps on his back, stomach up
Me: Cries harder.

@@ASoggyFrootLoop When a cat lays down with their tummy exposed, they trust you and know they're safe. The tummy is the most vulnerable spot so yeah
Given how well Julius responded to being petted after so long on the streets, I'd hazard a guess that he was once someone's family member.
That or he was too sick to care.
@@mitchellbarton7915 the way he was mewling in the cage strongly indicated he was socialized. Feral cats don't meow like that after they grow up.
90 percent of homeless cats were once owned... Unfortunately some are born into homelessness
Stripes hummus there are exceptions
Your comment is just heartbreaking because I’m sure you’re right .. 😢
His cry at 2:18 was heartbreaking. He looked so miserable. Poor kitty. Glad he was rescued!
It breaks my heart thinking that there are probably hundreds of cats that don't get saved that lay out in the cold and die. People that do save them are like the light that shines in the darkness God bless them.
David Brown in Australia they shoot feral cats on sight.
@@shomoy7396 I always wondered why the British don't like Australians now I know.
@sara Allison aka Miss true Freeman 👎🤮......I feel sorry for dogs AND cats!!
We don't shoot all feral cats on sight, what a load of crap. There are TNR programs in every major city and most councils have traps you can hire for free (pay a fully refunded deposit of a nominal amount for a week). I personally trapped a whole family of cats that took up under some hotel bins near my house and the kittens were all rehomed but sadly mumma cat had early renal failure so it was determined by the RSPCA that humane euthanasia was the best option. Yes our farmers and some ranger programs do have culling as an option, as would many countries around the world, many without the highly endangered wildlife we have that is in no way adapted to survive against master predators. If you want to hate anyone, hate the British that bought their cats with them into First Nation territory when they invaded and massacred people.
Lots of cats live in my neighborhood and you can hear them at night hissing and what sounds like fighting? Either that or there being attacked point is tho there’s a shit load of cats
hearing the distressed meowing at 2:18 made me cry hhh
he deserves the world
I couldn't bear it
I know right you can almost hear him begging for help
7:32 There is a difference between the meows.

My cat ran away years ago, got out one night after my dad came home from working extra late and he couldn't get her back in again. We put posters up and offered a big reward, the whole neighboorhood was looking for her. My dad luckily found her five days later

Lovely seeing the transformation. Should be proud of yourself.
@@idellapark3191 Did your name used to be Faolan Hart?
I love your kindness.
i know from my own cats, they are capable of empathy. that's why the other cats let the sick stranger eat first. just another reason to love cats!
They'll also leave more food for pregnant and mother cats! Cats are also known for adopting orphaned kittens and other animals like puppies or baby birds.
I never believe the people who say cats can't feel empathy
I have a cat with her kittens because she was on the streets and she doesn't likes my other cats, but I had one of my cats spayed and was weak and it was like the mother cat knew that and it didn't bother nor she got angry with her when she was close to her.
That's very true. More so than a lot of the people I've meet/seen. So sad.
Yeah, that is a lesson for humans that even cats give compassion to sick, weak or elderly.
Kelly Macgillberg cats are stone cold and unfeeling. if you want empathy get a dog 😐
This poor baby crying just broke my heart. Thank you for helping him
Yeah, that killed me.
I cried right along with him.
Right!? Rollercoaster of emotions. So happy he is okay. Gorgeous cat!
What a handsome cat. I loved seeing his transformation from ruggedly handsome kitty to pretty kitty. He seems like he has a beautiful personality too. I'm so glad another cat was rescued and taken from the streets.
That's a word not heard often enough..."handsome". 😎
@sara Allison get a life virgin
I love how the other cats were so compassionate: they saw he clearly was very sick, so they wanted to share their food and shelter with him, instead of throwing him out. 🐈 Cats can have empathy just as humans can! ♥️♥️♥️
I believe it is also because they see that he is not a threat. Being sick and older, they know they don’t have to worry about kicking him out because he won’t try to assert dominance in their territory.
@@Tunt Agreed. I have two big cat houses in my yard. The permanent residents are a she-cat, her two feral children, and a crippled elderly cat. The she-cat and her progeny don't like the company of most male cats (including the two living in my house), but they don't mind that one cat, and cuddle with him even though he doesn't seem to be related to them (he has a tabby pattern, while the she-cat and all her offspring don't have it). It seems they don't perceive him as a threat.
I don't believe any of that is true. Some cats are treated with respect by other cats. They know they are strong or something. They are not built for compassionate acceptance.
@@mircat28 he wasn't strong though, he was sickly and old
Pretty sure they knew he was sick and didn't want to get sick.
Touching, brushing, meowing. NOT feral.
yea this lovely boi def had a home once
Abandoned or lost
@Kaththee1 I have a family of them! Mom and her 3 kids. Patches and her kids have lived with me for more than 5 years now. They are still feral in, except for Tiger (he was ALWAYS the brave one), in the sense that they don't like people. I added Tabby a little more than a year ago. He was born a few months previously in the feral colony in my yard, but, his mom had turned mean towards him, so I grabbed him. Every day, he gets a bit more into the domesticated cat routine. Recently, Tabby meowed at me for the first time. He comes to me for attention. He purrs when I pet him. However, like half of my other cats...he STILL runs away and hides when I have company!
@Kaththee1 Patches the mom loves to get attention from me and sometimes she seems absolutely desparate for it from me!
I used to think like that, but after rescuing some feral cats. I realized it's kinda a personality thing. Some feral cats are mellow and friendly. Some pet cats are mean and wont let strangers pet them
The meow when he is first trapped speaks of how I’ll he was, the poor lamb.
He wasn’t feral, that is someone’s lost pet. That cat was so beautiful and chill, he was definitely loved by someone.
PEOPLE, GET YOUR PETS MICROCHIPPED!!
Great job by the people that rescued him and nursed him back to health ❤️❤️
I got both my Cats Microchipped & Neutered.
Personally I believe that like dogs (by law in U.K) Cats should be chipped as well
Mine wear collars, double bonus because they are out door cats and the bells have saved many a squirrel, unfortunately chipmunks don't have great hearing, so they're still screwed.
OldRaver1 it might have not had a owner
Stellar logic. The cat was beautiful therefore he has had an owner. If he was more beautiful, he would have had two owners!

The other cats probably new he was sick so they let him go first. There are alot of people who will feed the strays in my neighborhood (we are all big on capture spade and release) and its not uncommon for that kinda thing to happen
It was awesome. Cats are smart. They let him eat first but sadly they may have contracted his viral cold.
@@Iheartcatz I'm sure the organization looks after them and gets them vet care at any sign of illness. Just cuz they're feral doesn't mean Flatbush Cats doesn't take care of them 💜

@sara Allison aka Miss true Freeman >dog people
sara Allison aka Miss true Freeman And you’re just a stinky house elf
sara Allison aka Miss true Freeman These aren't house cats
Julious was likely somebody's neglected house cat, hence why he was meowing and not hissing at all, and allowed you to pet him while in the kennel.
He might have not been "neglected"... he could also have gotten lost somehow. I know of cats who have gotten lost while with cat sitters and their human family was out of town on vacation. The cats escaped probably in search of their human family and lost their way. It happens and it is devastating.

He is such a handsome cat.
Beautiful Julius ❤️ Beautiful Story ❤ Thank you ❤
2:19: Poor thing. Too sick to even put up much of a fight.
Too sick to keep meowing, too. Respiratory illnesses really drain the energy from anyone or anything unlucky enough to get one.
his meows sounded like quiet cries. :((
As a veterinary assistant, I can say at 6:00 I was so proud of this little guy!! He did so well for his shot and visit! Usually the outdoor kitties can be pretty wild because they don't understand what is happening. I was surprised with a"feral" stray this past week who was absolutely amazing for his visit. Gotta love them!

I have a ragdoll cat and Julius has a lot of ragdoll features, his physical features, the way his coat looks (after getting healthy), his total chill out personality, the way he sleeps, whoever adopted/adopts him is very lucky, hes a very special cat indeed.
I think you're right. The long, soft fur, wide-set eyes, broad nose, and his demeanor are very ragdoll-esque.
I've had one line of cats that are siamese ragdoll mixed and they are my favorite looking cat to this day.
I love my rag doll cat
I had a Ragdoll mix, she was the sweetest, most loving, and most beautiful cat I ever had. She got sick last year and the vet said she had cancer in her sinus. I kept her comfortable as I could for as long as I could, but when she wasn't hardly eating or drinking I couldn't bare to see her suffering and I had to put her to sleep. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. She passed one month and nine days before her sixteenth birthday. At least I had almost sixteen years with her. I still and may always love and miss her. I've got a lump in my throat and have been crying as I wrote this.
I was about to say this! I have a ragdoll too with also cream colour and they look alike.. we’ve had cats before but this one is the sweetest ever. She loves attention, never brings animals home, never uses her claws and loves to talk. She is the best ^_^ and very pretty, she reminds me of dutchess from aristocats
I literally cannot watch these videos without crying
@{} lmao I'm not trying to be "edgy" it's a sad and heartwarming video, maybe try chilling the fuck out once and awhile? bye

This is the kind of compassion I'd hope an advanced lifeform from another planet treats us with.

OMG.
One day my dog was barking at something in my yard. I found a frail, but friendly cat. URI. She was almost dead. Can't smell, so would not eat.
I got her to a vet. I quarantined her for two weeks. She was as good as new.
She decided to stay with us. She, and I had such a bond. I had her 12 years. She died of kidney issues, about three years. I have never missed a cat more. I love the cats I have now, but she and I were tight.
Thanks so much for your hard work. I understand why you do it. I'm grateful.
Julius looks wonderful! After Ezri passed, I found Tucker. A Maine Coon. He was seven, and his owner had a stroke. I took him in. Middle aged cats can be hard to place. I also have Mysty. She's been with me 9 years. She was thrown out as an older kitten in December. I took her in. I can only house, and handle two.
My parents used to foster all animals from dogs to horses. I've seen some shit. Awful, awful shit. I've never desensitized to it, and it makes me not the right person to do the Hands-On stuff like that.
Sometimes you get such a special connection to 1 particular cat. I had that with my Scamp, rescued at the age of about 4 weeks from a very busy road. He had health problems most of his life. 'Flu as a kitten, diagnosed with HCM at 2 years old & stage 4 kidney failure in 2016, aged only 12. I nursed him for 3 years, giving subQ fluid & lots of medication every 6 hours. He was my soul mate. When we first met he was in a long room with about a dozen people looking at him. He saw my wife & I walk in & skittered down the entire length of the room, ignoring everybody else. He ran past my wife, & tried to jump into my arms. He wouldn't let go. He'd chosen his mum. We filled out the adoption paperwork with him still in my arms & he howled when we left. He wasn't allowed to come with us straight away because he was still ill with 'flu. Every time we visited he cried when we left. Once he finally came home, he was my shadow, for 15 years. I miss him so much. I doubt there's another cat out there with whom I'll bond so closely. I've lived with some wonderful cats, but Scamp was special & I'll love him until I die.
Edited to add: when I say he was my shadow, he went everywhere with me in the house or garden. Like most cats, he hated touching water, but every time I had a bath, he'd either curl up on the side of the bath & tolerate the odd splash or actually curl up on me if I laid down, provided the water didn't cover where he laid.
@@shedevil50337 I totally understand that type of bond. I got my soulmate in '79 and from the start our friendship and bonding started to grow. She passed away at age 21 1/2 yrs most from old age problems on April 7th, 2001. She knew I adored her and got away with almost anything. She was the most perfect cat I could ever imagine. I've a few cats now and I love them but she will always be my special girl.
My special bond was with my Princess. Princess only laid next to me and she always slept with me. Every night. U had her for about two years. I’m certain she was either hunted by coyotes in the woods, because she could not run straight ( she easily fell and was very wobbly ), or someone in the neighborhood in the woods behind our house found her. But We searched the neighborhood with a picture or her. I was so heartbroken. I was only 6. My poor baby. Her brother, Charming, was still with us, though he had the same wobbly run and the same pattern as princess, he was always outside and snuggled more with my parents than me. He was also lost about a year later.
My friend’s grandma had some kittens living in her barn. I went to go see them with my parents, with the hopes of adopting one. We ended up getting Rascal and Tiger Lily. Rascal was also lost about a year later. Rascal was the sweetest cat I’ve EVER owned. He snuggled endlessly and rubbed everyone for a friendly greeting. Tiger acted just like Princess did, snuggled often and slept next to me in bed. I still have Tiger, and pictures of Princess are hanging in my room. But the hardest part was, last year we moved houses and I felt like I was leaving all of my babies behind. I remember Rascal. I would never forget his friendly mood and beautiful blue eyes and gray tabby pelt. This is really hard to write about. He was so young, only about a year old.
I can’t write about this anymore, sorry
@@sammsu4668 I know u very young when you had these kitties but WHY didn't your parents keep the cats always indoors. Esp after losing one they still let the others roam around.
I'm in the city but there are still many ppl who let there care roam free without even spaying them. Most get hit by cars or are poisoned or killed by scumbags. Pls everyone keep ur cats inside ALWAYS!
@Chai'naMarie03
Oh also, it’s in the cats nature to be outside. I understand that you live in a city so that’s VERY dangerous for kitties. Cats have bodies that are made for outdoors, even if my 7-year old self wouldn’t say that. We lived on a farm, and that’s where the kitties needed to be. Princess and Charming had disabilities, and Rascal was just too friendly.

i lost my brother and sister in the woods. they came back after walking through knee high water we have found snake skin in before to grab a kitten. her name is sandy and she has not tried to bite or scratch us ever. she ran away and came back with an infected tail cancer but shes ok now
I found a black and white kitten in the woods as well. 6 weeks old at best. I didn't have to catch him, because he was calling out to us (me & my friend were walking her dog.) His fur was full of insect eggs and one of his eyes couldn't open. I don't think he was out there more than a week, considering he was still alive. Probably abandoned by someone with an unneutered cat. Well, he's got a home with me now.

PolitischTourette 😺 👏 Your command of English is very good indeed. Kind regards from an English teacher.
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat thank you my friend
Wow, I didn’t realize how handsome he was until the close up. Thank you for helping this sweet little boy 🥺❤️

I hope whoever adopts him has a great vacuum cleaner. He sheds so much!
We have a cat that sheds like that. The hairs are always flying around.
I have a cat called Azzy. Every few months I empty an Azzy sized ball of fur out of the vacuum cleaner! :-)
@@muhdiversity7409 We seem to do that almost daily as we're constantly cleaning up after 5 of them! That a cat litter by the dump truck load! Or it seems that way. Probably about 80 lbs. a week is an accurate consumption level for us.
I have three cats, and the only time I get a break from vacuuming every day is in the winter. Come spring back to vacuuming away!! I live in Seattle, and it doesn't even get that hot!
YOU ARE NEEDED IN THIS WORLD. NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU AROUND. YOU'RE A SPECIAL MAN! THANK YOU.🐱💞
shut up!
@ChaoticMew i did
Poor lad was feeling so icky he didn't even fight the trap. Even his protest meows were so weak. Thank you for helping him ❤️ watching him go from bun, to loaf, to performing cat yoga on his cushion made my heart so happy, what a sweet boy!
Pro tip for helping sick cats heal faster when sleeping on a pad/bed. Put the pad in a pillow case so you can wash the pillowcase everyday, thus minimizing the infection contact for the healing cat. 💖
What a lovely boy! He was so good at the vets, so calm and still friendly. Such a lovely rescue, thank you for saving him. I hope he gets all of the love his owners could possibly give.
Should have called him Orange Julius, OJ for short.
That’s so cute.
Thank you for doing what you do. I have a dog, and he chases cats, I have a brain aneurysm, which makes is harder on me.... but I so am thankful of all of the things you do, as with people who love dogs, they are my world now, and I'm so thankful of what you do! seriously..... Thank you.
From the first moment I saw him, how he was acting and the general vibe he gives, I knew he would be very sweet. He also gives me the impression to have grow up in a home, but got lost or abandoned.
All the animals I've had, were always rescued. They need us. Animal Lover.
And we need them.
May God bless you
Me too. Bug animals lover
although starving, sick and no doubt in pain, he was incredibly sweet and loving; and definitely was begging for help. So glad you saved him and he has a home. He’s a wonderful cat. So sweet. A exceptionally precious angel cat. Even when being bathed, brushed and given needles. He deserved a second chance 💯. And I have no doubt he appreciated every bit of it and is incredibly grateful which is why he gives so much love ❤️
I'm 11, when I grow up I want to be just like Flatbush Cats. I want to help and even save feral cats and kittens.
I love cute wholesome videos like this. My grandparents spent their time rescuing cats that people threw on the roads because it made them sad. Even after my grandmas passing my grandpa still adopts stray kitties who pass by his house because he keeps food and water our for them
Seeing him just sitting there alone at the start.
My heart was just screaming.
“Help him 😭”
me: has a bad day
me: watches video
me: sobs while smashing the like button
Same
Bless you for what you do man.
Only domesticated adult cats meow, suggesting he was someone's pet once.
Not true. Cats use some vocal sounds to each other.
Cats are just more vocal to humans because we speak to them.
@@WolfFireheart They will yowl, growl, hiss and trill to one another. But not meow. Cats only meow to humans if they either lived in a house with them, or if they were semi feral and used to being around people while living on the streets. Otherwise the cat would be growling/hissing here. If he wasn't a pet, he was definitely at the very least accustomed to human interaction
Not true. I’ve seen many cats meow at each other. Today my sisters foster cat was returned and she saw her sister and both meowed at each other trying to get near each other.
@@mysanalumina thats for domesticated cats its common, they never stop meowing once they reach adulthood like a feral cat would
I see it in the ferals I take in as well. I primarily socialize ferals and can guarantee you they meow. They usually won’t when we’re around because they’re not comfortable but when they think we’re not near they will meow at my resident cats.
I just lost my oldest colony cat today 😢 This made me so sad
I'm so happy you're taking care of kitties 💖
What happened?
@@NeuronalAxon We think she got bitten by a spider (I live in Australia) and unfortunately she didn't make it.
She had a permanent runny nose and sniffle due to a birth defect which is why this kitty reminded me of her.
The rest of the colony is adapting surprisingly well without her though, which is one slight positive.
@@xAlbinopiratex - Aww, that's good to hear. Might have been a dropbear, maybe?
Is that Derdree? So sorry but you look very familiar!!
@@crookedintelligence2421 Me? No sorry, I'm not Derdree
WHEN HE WAS LOOKIN OUT THE WINDOW I KNEW I LOVED HIM
its like he’s trying to sound angry but he’s so miserable ha cant :(
