- Navigating having a kitten while living alone in NYC has taught me so much and has been the greatest gift. So much goes into deciding when it's time to take the leap, and making these choices based on what will give my cat the best life, even if I'm not quite ready yet. I am so so excited AND SCARED to expand the cat family!! Please note that I am learning as I go, if you want the best cat advice, check out Jackson Galaxy or The Kitten Lady on youtube. Their videos have helped me so much and are great points of reference. Thank you for all your love welcoming Gordo into the family ❤️ Soon we will welcome another.

Hi friends! Back with the highly requested cat content along with ANOTHER surprise 🐱🐱I feel like y'all maybe saw this coming though. Separately, last night was the Offline event IRL!!! We had such a great turnout and I truly had THE BEST TIME getting to meet everyone!! Seriously, y'all were so warm and kind and thoughtful and sweet, I am so grateful to everyone that was able to come out ❤ Your support means the world. I am still processing, but will give the full recap in an upcoming vlog!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤ also at a certain point I got tired of blurring out my tatas in this video (LOL) and only blurred out the 'close calls' 😂 I figured someone might comment about that lolol
I think you should flash train him and take him on walks
Aww Chelsea what you gonna name your new kitten when you get he or her ❤
You crack me up, Chelsea. Me, here: "Pull up your shirt! Pull up your shirt! OMG. Does she know???" 😂🤣
It made so darn tooting happy when you said you’d foster the cat!! Yay!!!! You’ll fall in love and keep him or her. And don’t be surprised if it takes a while to have them get along. But they’re so young that they’ll love playing with each other. And they’ll have company when you’re out. You’re apt is def big enough for two cats. Trust me - 2 cats will bring you double the joy!!!!
So happy for you!! I have had so many kitties and last year I got a little boy 6 weeks old and two weeks later I got a little girl who was about 10 weeks I brought her put her on the bed and he made a couple of little growls but he loved her immediately it’s like they are brother and sister but not even the same litter! Not saying every kitty will immediately be okay with each other but I think the younger they are it’s easier! They will have different personalities and it’s so much fun experiencing that …you will be a happy family of three sometimes when you are least expecting it a sweet baby kitty comes into life and unconditionally loves you it’s the best feeling x two! Just loving them back is all you really need to know…😊
Adopting a second kitten is the best decision! It might seem like having two will make your life harder, but in my experience having two cats grow up together, play together, and keep each other company will make things easier and happier for all of you. Yay!
I second this! I REGRET not getting two together when I got my first cat…the shelter tried convincing me to adopt my girls sister and I said no in fear of it being too much to handle. Instead I waited two years and although I love my girl, she was ALOT to deal with and that’s because she was alone all day and just wanted to play with someone. Once I got my boy, she calmed down IMMEDIATELY and I no longer dealt with torn up carpet, chewed up plants and having my toes attacked at night. So this was a great decision on your part. It actually makes it easier to raise them as kittens lol.
Third! If you have the resources, it's so , so good for them to have a feline friend. I have a16 year old cat and wish I had given her siblings a long, long time ago. A year ago I rescued two siblings from my neighbors carport and they're thick as thieves. She tolerates them and wonders why they're there but thankfully they leave her be. Also, you're doing a wonderful job, so don't doubt that. The life you're giving them is far superior than what the alternative would be.
Fourth this! I adopted two kittens (brother and sister) four years ago and I’m so happy I did. I know it seems like a lot at the beginning but once everyone settles into a routine, it’ll be like there was always meant to be two babies in your life.
Fifth, you won’t have to worry about leaving Gordo alone when you go out because now he’ll have company. They may be standoffish at first, but they will get used to one another in no time.
Sixth 😅 I agree! We took on a sibling duo (brother and sister) and they are 5 this year. It was so good taking two on at the same time as kittens. They are the best of friends, keep each other company and warm when we can't 🤗♥️
"a partner would be a compliment to my life, not filling a gap." So eloquently put!
Chelsea! I had two cats in a studio apartment. We all lived our best lives together. They didn’t care where we lived. They just knew they were happy, loved and cared for. No McMansion needed 😘❤️🫶🏽.
I’m moving to a studio next week and I needed to see this. Been feeling so guilty worrying that my cat will prefer the slightly bigger apartment
Thank you for taking in the other kitty and giving it a home where it can feel safe and loved. Every kitty deserves that.
"How are you supposed to want to keep going when working hard can't seem to afford you anything?" Ugh I felt that. This is where I'm at right now in my 30's looking around at all the things that just keep getting further out of reach with inflation. I know I need to try to leave my comfort zone to even stand a chance but the odds don't feel in my favor and I'm so tired already. But anyway, I really appreciate these videos where you're so open about your struggles.
I think a lot of people feel that now a days.
Congratulations on making the decision to adopt one of Gordo’s siblings. I adopted a one-year old orange cat 8 years ago. Copper had been found on the side of a road with his ribs kicked in. Vet guessed his ribs were broken courtesy of the toe from a steel-toed boot and he was left to die. Whoever found Copper and brought him to the animal shelter is a hero. And those who nursed Copper back to health are heroes. Copper arrived in my home with some serious mental health issues. But he was also very intelligent; I could see the intelligence in his eyes and noted it frequently from reactions to words I spoke. He was no dummy. I respected his need for space and felt honored when he would sit a “little” closer, start to take an interest in household activities. It likely took him close to a year before I heard him purr. Now a days he’s a frequent visitor on my lap; appreciates a good snuggle from time to time; doesn’t run when it’s time to get his fur brushed; and he definitely lets me know when its time for a snack.
For gordo and his future companion ❤❤❤❤
It’s unbelievable the way some humans treat animals. I know these things happen but it always takes my breath away a little bit hearing a story like Copper’s. Good for you for welcoming Copper into your home. The world needs more people like you! I wish him the best ❤️
Gordo is without a doubt the cutest and sweetest kitten in humaaaaaaan history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like the other people in the comments said: As a fellow cat rescuer and cat mommy of four (😂😂😂), adopting a second kitty is the best thing you could do believe me!! Young kittens and later cats that are used to living with multiple cats are SO SO happy!!❤
I'm not even a cat person but the Gordo footage here is just **chefs kiss** so bless you for opening your home and heart to animals in need. You are the MVP Chelsea ❤
I'm a dog person (dog mama) but the sound of a kitten's purr MUST be good for lowering blood pressure and stress. Somebody should study that! 🌟😆
@@injones74 actually there are some studies on this
They say the frequency of purring right next to you helps increase bone density , & tons more ! Crazy , right ?
They did! Apparently cat purrs actually help when you are sick/are healing!
And cats seem to know this and will actually seek their (sick) owners out!
I am.more of a dog person myself (although I had cats most of my life), but I always said there should be an animal that wags their tails like a dog and purrs like a cat!
They have studied it a lot. It's one of the many reasons why I'm a dog AND cat person. They each give to me something unique that only each of them can bring because they are a dog or a cat. I can't choose. I must have both.
my zillenial little heart would name the sister kitten Lizzie, lol. A Lizzie and Gordo sibling duo would be iconic
I appreciate how you are trying to be both financially and emotionally responsible about this decision. It IS a big deal when taking in another animal. I love your heart and wisdom about all of this.
Toe bean massages and kitty belly rubs are the absolute best!! Rescued is the only breed and my favorite breed. You are complete as you are. Love, love, love your vlog!!
Family of three...... YESSSSSSSSSSS 💙🩷🩷
LOVE THIS! I volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter and have helped counsel potential adopters who are only interested in one kitten. Two kittens is ALWAYS better than one! You are going to be amazed at how easy it is. Their lives will be enriched by having one another, and by having you as their cat-mom! Also, I'm a long-time Alexis watcher too, and just tickled pink seeing you two together.
I foster cats and the ones who come to me with a sibling or friend find so much comfort and safety and entertainment in each other. Two really is easier than one in my experience. You're doing the right thing ❤
Gordo was having so much fun with the cat wand 😂😂
Best decision I made was to adopt two young cats. They have each other to keep them comfortable when I’m not home. You won’t regret this at all. Can’t wait to see the new addition!
Calico’s are so much fun! Get ready for cuddles and sass 😂
This woman is great. I love her honesty and openness. Respect
Gordo is cuteness overload!
Hey Chelsey! You are definitely doing the right thing. I adopted brother and sister kittens almost a year ago. It was the best decision for them and me. It feels like more work at first but it works out and it’s no big deal. The bond they will have is awesome! I’m so excited for you and them! 💕. I can’t wait to see the baby! Calico’s are the best! I had one years ago and she was my very best friend. 😻
Awwwww lil' Gordo is so cute! And don't worry about space. You have a 2 bdrm and are so thoughtful in your accommodation of the kitties that it'll be plenty of room for all of you. There are a lot of creative solutions out there for maximizing vertical space for cats, like perches on the wall that screw in likes shelves. Can't wait to meet the new little kitten!
Adopting my cat Gideon led to a drastic improvement of my mental health. I’ve always loved cats, and I firmly believe that loving a cat is a magical experience and so far, well, it turns out I’m right! I made a video to talk about how I feel regarding cats, because… well… I have so many emotions… I needed to let them out…
I’m so glad to hear that Gordo makes you feel better!! He’s a lovely looking boy!!!
Chelsea! I’m so happy you did this cause it’s the best decision for gordo. I have two cats and we lived alone in a studio before moving to NYC this past June with my bf and his cat and the space is just fine then and even now! Honestly I LOVE having two cats cause it feels more like a family and I love how they bond and keep each other entertained. Honestly having two children fills the room more with love. Please if you ever need tips on raising cats let me know! I have a ton!
Great decision! Our kitten also needed a sibling and he just loved it. His new big brother also liked it, a little annoyed with his baby energy but today they’re best friends!
You seem like the people's influencer and we're so here for that.
The more cats the better 🥰 my sisters and I rescued a litter of 5 & we already had 4 cats lol. Now we have a total of 7 at home. Kitties are awesome. They do their own thing, space for them doesn't really matter as long as they have your love which they will 🥰 I recommend window beds for them & installing floating shelves for kitties so they can play around and climb them.
I've screamed of happiness when you mentioned the second kitten!🙈😅 yes,yes,yes! I had my Bowie for a year when decided to take a sister for him. Still regret waiting and thinking for so long. I know it feels overwhelming, but from my own experience, honestly, if you have one fluff- second fluff will not add any major changes, just lots of happiness and crazy ( crazy!😂) fluffs playing and running time between them ❤️❤️❤️ You are an amazing human!
Awwww, another kitty! Blessings to you for getting him or her off the streets! Can’t wait to find out the name, Gordo is such a cutie and growing fast! Love it
You remind me so much of me when I got my 2. I was in an apartment and after a year I bought a house just for the cats, lol. I'd have been happy in my apartment alone but I quickly outgrew it with them. Everything I did was for them and I didn't regret it. I didn't live in a expensive city so buying was affordable.
It makes so much sense Chelsea!! I was the same, I have had my dog for 2.5yrs now, I was so hesitant and my mum got him for me, and I love the bones of him now, it worked out perfect, I was uncomfortable with the idea but so happy someone else nudged me in the animal mum direction. I am now in my late 30's, work is good, dog mum life is great...I have never looked at kids and known that's what I want, I have never had the urge to be a mum to humans... and I am way past wanting a partner, I did up until my early 30's but am now far too independent and love my easy life. So it is NOT strange Chelsea, it is actually so normal, so many woman feel the same as you.
Gordo is seriously the cutest kitten ever and the bond you 2 already have is so precious ❤ you obviously are an amazing mom and have so much more love to give. I hope the rescue goes well!
I’ve never raced to a video so fast from a notification 🏃🏻♀️➡️
You are living THE life, Chelsea! NYC and two kitties? I'm so jealous 🥰 also, that top and those jeans at the beginning? Gorgeous, sensational, stunning 🤌
❤❤❤
Had a Maine Coon mix growing up. 20lb cat. But FULL of love. And loved cheese lol
I promise…if a cat wouldn’t make my mom need oxygen, I would drive all the way there from IN for that kitten. I have a whole house and my daughter would love a kitty. Thank you for taking care of the kitties ❤
I would say YES to Gordo’s sibling!!! I first had a cat, but he was lonely, even with me around. I adopted another cat & he became so much more happier. He had someone to snuggle with. DO IT!!!!
What a perfectly beautiful little Kitty. So enjoyable and peaceful to watch 💖 I feel you will do so well w/ 2 kittens 🐈⬛ …. You’ll be happy for Gordo
Hi Chelsea! You are doing a wonderful thing by fostering a kitty that will possibly be a pal for Gordo. As I found out in a recent talk with my daughter, she is like you in the sense that her little dog gives her a joy that no human child could give her. She has always felt that way but couldn’t admit it to me. She couldn’t understand my desire for a child until she got her dog. We are different but in the end it’s all about love. Good luck with the new kitty and I hope everything goes the way you want it to. Have a great week!😊
So exciting! Sorry I'm getting to this video late! It's awesome that you're getting a second kitten because usually rescues won't let people just adopt one kitten if they don't already have another cat at home - your two kittens will teach other how 'to cat' now and probably love each other quickly. Quick tip: Gordo will feed off your energy, so if you're nervous and anxious about the new cat, he will be too. Just be chill! i have three cats in my one bedroom apartment and they're all super happy! You have more than enough space.
Honestly, when we got our first cat we adopted another one a couple of months later. We never looked back ❤ It was such a good decision and even if the introduction is such a difficult stage, when they are finally comfortable with each other, it is such a joy! 🎉 so happy you are adopting Gordo’s sibling 🩷 can’t wait to follow it.
Kittens are a woman’s best friend. Glad that you got a second kitten. Now you won’t be so lonesome in your apartment. 🙂🙂
In case you didn't know, you can use pine/wood pellets with a sifting litter box instead of clay kitty litter. It'll smell way better, especially with having two litter boxes in a small space. Wishing you and your new fur kid(s) all the happiness!
I totally get why theres so much Cat content, my girlfriend and I just rescued a dog a month ago and I think I already have nearly 300 photos of him just being around. Pets are way to much fun and its so hard to want to be away from them! Another fun great vlog Chelsea!!
Thank You for being such a warm hearted spirit. Gordo absolutely adores you!!!! I love the way you naturally bring us all in with your thoughts and your honesty about the awkwardness of life and what to do and when to do it. Looking forward to the next chapter. Keep Going! You Matter! You too Gordo!
This is so nice of you 😭 thank you!
I love Gordo and how amazing you are with him. Happy you are getting the 2 nd kitty. Have fun. 😻
Don't worry about screwing up. Live your life to the fullest and things will work out. Life happens, good and bad and you have to deal with it. Sometimes the best path is to forge ahead and just deal with what happens. I wish you all the luck in the world and keep pushing yourself. Failure occurs and it is a learning experience so don't be afraid of it
I adopted my first baby when he was already rescued and almost a year old into our 2 bedroom apartment. Almost 2 years later, I hear a loud meow,constant behind our building. My sister and I took him out the bushes and made him a carboard box,gave him food that he hungrily gulped and had to leave him out for the night as my parents wouldn't accept another cat. I couldnt sleep hat night thinking how he was defenseless in this world without his mother. Next evening, I went and brought him up under the pretext of at least bathig him,since it was raining a lot.
He hasn't left since then❤ My first rescue and my second ginger baby.
Gordo's brother and Gordo will be happy with you no matter where. You're heart will be full of love and mental health so bright,the sun will look pale in comparison. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cat purrs save lives ❤
Congratulations, Chelsea. I think your apartment is more than big enough for the three of you. You might be surprised at how much they like the lamb toy. My cat has always had a squirrel that's similar that he's played with his whole life. Can't wait to see he new kitty!
As always, so inspired and proud of you! I watched this with my two doggos and had allll the feels. I also got them when they were both puppies (rescued the 2nd only three months after having my first). And let me tell you! Having two small, energetic, and potty training pets is ROUGH! Lots of overwhelm lots of the time, so many sacrifices. But goodness, when things get easier and they become part of your routine (and eventually two broke besties you can’t live without), all the overwhelm becomes worth it. Rooting for you and your new little family! ❤️
Lemon has a lamb chop too 😊 it has no stuffing anymore, but he loves it. Congrats on your new family member!!!
Gordo is so adorable!! I was an only child who grew up in the country with cats and dogs. They were my company...often felt like they were siblings. To be honest I never really felt the terrible urge to have children but have always wanted cats and dogs in my life. I have 3 cats...2 females and 1 male...all fixed/neutered. I live in a small 2 bedroom house and my cats are indoors only due to living in the country near a busy road. I have 4 cats trees which to me were a great investment for me and the cats. Sometimes all 3 are asleep on 1 cat tree and sometimes they are all on different trees. All 4 cat trees are near windows and the cats all "chatter" at birds that land on the bushes outside the windows. The cats are really good at scratching the areas on the cat trees and every now and then I need to reattach the rope with glue as they have gotten carried away...which is better than going for the furniture. A few tips for you to think about...1) Leave your kitty carrier out with the door open so they can freely go in and out if it rather than bringing it out only when they have a scheduled vet appointment. If they are used to it it isn't as traumatic for them when you gave to pack them up to go to the vet. 2) I get my kitty litter delivered by Chewy.com or Amazon so I can have a fair amount at home. 3) Get your kitties used to being brushed. My male kitty loves to be brushed and he comes when I'm sitting by the table where I keep the brush and literally taps me on the leg so I will brush him. Getting them used to being brushed keeps loose fur off of them so they won't lick themselves and OD on loose fur and then get fur balls that they will throw up. Yes your affect has greatly improved since Gordo came in to your life!! Very happy for you and that you and Gordo will have more company. 2 kitties is a great move!! Can't wait to see his sister!!
Also awesome idea on two kittens! I think they’ll likely bond fast due to age. I got another one for my kitty and they are so bonded it’s so precious to watch. And play time is so fun! Two actually makes it easier on you bec they will wear each other out and not you or your furniture! But def invest in lots of scratch posts and toys anyway! Enjoy your new and exciting fur babies!
They’ll share the toys and the litter boxes. I can’t wait to see the new kitty.
chelsea, you've been inspiring me a lot lately! i'm a new viewer to your videos since i have been dreaming of moving to NYC for years now, but 6 months out of college I really don't have the funds. but to know that NYC is just as if not more enjoyable when you are in your 30s is so so so reassuring. im 23 and feel like i've already let my life slip away but you've completely changed my mind on it. and i loooove the kitties! i have a cat who wants to move to NYC as well, she's been telling me all about it HAHA
Can't wait to see the other kitty! Two kittens (especially siblings) usually aren't hard to integrate - it's two adults that can take a while. Good luck!!!
Yall it is 1:35am and like I am here for this
Chelsea, I can relate so well to you. I also am a mom to kitties and love mine with my whole heart but I’ve not ever had that maternal drive for human kids and that’s my chosen path I’m proud of. Same for dating, if it happens, ok but if not my life is full. I hope you don’t ever feel badly bec some other human decided your path or purpose should be the same as theirs. That’s nonsense. Stay true to yourself. Your authenticity is truly what makes you so relatable and why I keep tuning in to watch. You rock and your kitty is just too darn cute!
two cats is the best! i had 2 large cats in a one bedroom apartment for many years and we were all very happy. congrats!
For years I looked at and spoke of rescuing our kitty--who is now almost 17, but you know what? Ultimately, he saved me. I have something else besides myself to consider. I have someone who really needs me and depends on me etc. Before him, I would often feel overwhelmed by someone needing me. But, the bond you can develop with a cat (or dog or person) helps alleviate that feeling of being overwhelmed. What you are feeling is normal, rest assured. I'm glad you are getting a second kitty. If we could go back and also have taken our kitty's sister with us, oh how happy he would have been. I think he would have loved being with a sibling his whole life. He's had me, which has made him a lot more "human" if that makes sense? He has taken on a lot of human worry and angst on due to having zero distractions of another kitty. Space and rental restrictions kept us from considering getting another kitty as time has gone on. I love your videos and I appreciate your candor. 🐱
Hi Chelsea, don’t overthink getting another kitten, believe it or not two kittens or cats are easier than one, they’re company for each other , just do it. I loved your chat about having a partner, you’re a strong independent woman, be proud of yourself, just let life happen, you’re beautiful inside and out ❤❤
Gordo is precious. I have two cats in my life but right now I only have one. You will be fine they will get along and have each other. So nice of you to take in the other sibling. On another note that pink top looks fabulous on you.❤
I just want to say that you are an inspiration and I love your videos. Gordo is adorable
I’m so excited to virtually meet Gordos brother or sister. I really relate to what you said about hyper independence I think the cats will be great for you.
If you made a 1-hour video of just Gordo sleeping and doing nothing I would still watch that with full attention... he is too adorable!!!
I rescued Ava dog. She's little but she didn't seem to like other animals and certain people with hats. Lol so when I found Sophie my second dog I was a bit nervous. We had Ava for one year when we got Sophie and Sophie was 5 weeks old. Their birthdays are the same month days apart one year and a few days so we celebrate them together and now Ava is going to be 11 in October and Sophie's going to be 10 in October. It's so crazy to me. They have never been apart since I adopted. Sophie and I could never imagine even to run to the store or anything. I've always taken both of them. They are like so tightly together. They have little fights once in awhile but it's pretty rare. I think it's due to jealousy or something too. Anyways, we've brought so much love and joy to me. I can't even imagine not having both of them. I think you're going to love it! I know it!❤💯🐾
You only need the one litter box for the two cats. You just need to clean it out more often.
Good luck with the second kitty :-)
I can’t get enough of him! 😘 And there might be two of them?! 🥰❤️ And I doubt all of you will outgrow the apartment. I think it’s a good size. You will just have to catify it ❤️
I'm so excited for you! Space was also a concern for me when I adopted my second cat, but they still had plenty of zoomies and play time. After a few years, we were able to move to a bigger place and they're feeling right at home.
Two cats is always better than one! 🎉 they’ll be so happy together
I move to nyc next month and luckily my roommate says he really wants a kitty. Lucky for me, i have one so it's the perfect way to get her a bestie for now as she's still a crazy kitten
Just for the cats, I’ll watch the Ad’s till the end…LOL Good on you! You are doing the right thing. You will save the kittens life. Gordo gets his sibling back. And pets are great for humans as well. It’ll all be good.
I was in the exact same boat two years ago. I adopted one and then a month later got another. I was in a small apartment till their first birthdays and it was always plenty of space.. and they are so much happier with each other. I also understand the sudden responsibility overwhelm but I promise you’ll be so proud in another few months.
Also, I bought a house when they were a year old which was another level of overwhelm. But as I was contemplating the house idea before I had the kittens - my brother in law had the best advice about the house but it totallyyyy applied to the cats too. The first year is the hardest and then it gets easier. Knowing it won’t be hard/scary forever.
thank you for this
You have such a big heart ❤❤ Gordo is very lucky to have you
Also...as a solo pet parent myself, your emotions expressed in the video are so relatable to me. You seem really thoughtful and self aware. I am noodling on some similar things now, too!
I love that you bought a Lamb Chop toy! I remember watching that show in the 90s 😅
Gordo is the CUTEST ever and will love curling up with a brother or sister 😍😍
Just watched this whilst working my nightshift😊Many greetings from Stockholm Sweden
Gordo looks amazing and is growing so well! You are so good to adopt his sibling. It's heartbreaking! This heat the past week was really something. I'm so glad he's brought you so much happiness.
Oh I can’t wait to meet the new kitty!
I hope they’re able to make sure mama is okay and fix her and fingers crossed u get the sibling💛
Omg love u can't wait for number two, they will remember their scents are the same and should be great!!!! We have two big baby cats too
You are such a sweet and thoughtful person ❤
Yes! Kittens do best in pairs! I work in a shelter, and so often people think that it's just a ruse to get more kittens adopted. But it's absolutely real. They'll grow up with better temperament and just better emotional health if they have a kitten friend.
OMG ever since i ran into your channel i have loved it, and now with all this Gordo footage i love it so much more! Awesome kitty!! I love my cat she's been with me for a couple years now. She is a GI nightmare though...
My cat was a stray, she was a kitten that ended up on my porch. I started feeding her and I fell in love. Then, since she's an outside cat...she got pregnant and she had 6 kittens that I'm taking care of right now. I actually cried because I didn't know if I can handle them, but I'm doing it. So, my point is I know you can do 2 cats. You're a strong girl ( look at you living alone in NYC!) You'll be fine Chelsea. I'm so proud of you, BTW you look good too..I love your short hair it suits you. OK I'm rambling now lol. God Bless and I love your blog! ❤
If she is a girl, I vote her name be Libby, a play on Liberty, which feels very NYCesque. ❤️
Gordo is too cute! 🥰
Chelsea, you are an absolute angel for adopting one kitten, let alone fostering/adopting a 2nd kitten! As a fellow cat mom, we adopteda baby girl kitten and foster failed her brother. Best decision ever! They are best buds, and I cannot imagine separating them!
I feel you on the maternal instincts when it comes to animals. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Truly a joy to connect with you ❤
Hi Chelsea. I'm Gale. (Hubbys email) Have been following you for a bit. Enjoy your content. Always wish the episodes were longer. But can imagine how much mental strength it must take just to put out a 20 min. video. Be safe, be Happy. ❤😊
Now there are two?! That's adorable! The smol bean has a friend ♡
they will be so happy together and be great companions.
Your channel is heading in the absolute best direction 🥰
I was thinking “she should have adopted two of those kittens”! So glad you are bringing in Gordo’s sister! I have had cats all my life and mine seemed better with more than one. They are lucky to have you!
Hi Chelsea it's excellent to see that good things are coming your way !
thank you!!
I totally identify with feeling motherly towards animals, not kids. I'm a dog mum, he's my best friend and reason for getting up in the morning. Thanks for showing the ups and downs of the adoption process and SOLIDARITY on feeling complete without a partner 🙌🏼 x
Glad you got the kitten how can loving a fur baby be a bad thing ! Loving 2 all the more
You certainly have enough space for two cats, even if the second is temporary. Aside from floor space, think about the vertical space cats can have by adding shelving, cat trees, etc. I foster and do TNR and two will be great in your space!
Chels, you have the biggest heart! I’m so excited to see the next video and meet the new kitty 🥹 Gordo and his sibling are so lucky to have you!!!
you are so nice thank you!!
