I love your stuff, thank you for doing good work and inspiring me to foster, I'm starting when i move into my new place!
Ps – As someone who has only adopted grey long haired kitties – I'm allergic to cats and for some reason I've not had a reaction to any long haired solid grey or tuxedo grey kitties I've met – itchies and sneezes with tabbies and short hair but i can rub my face all up in my long grey babies. I can't argue with my immune system, ive tried, it sucks for us both 😢
I heard about rescuers doing that and it breaks my heart, to leave some animals behind just because these were born with the “wrong” genetics. I started only adopting Cats that are “boring” or disabled because I don’t care how they look. Thank you so much for sharing this information and taking care of all of them no matter how they look ❤🙏🏼
I’m so excited to be typing this!! I recently got your rescue added to the official charities list for the company I work for! Basically, it’s a list where our HR department has confirmed their status and all that and allows our people to know who they’re donating to! And and and, if they donate to these charities during certain times of the year, the company will match it! So, I don’t know how much will come, but it could be something!! Hoping it helps!!
Im surprised to hear that long haired cats are more popular. Ive never been interested in long hairs because I don't want the extra work of keeping them groomed, plus i just like the short haired look more
I love black kitties, and I'm a giant sucker for grey tabbies…. and long hair cats require so much more maintenance than shorthairs. I guess I just love the """less adoptable""" kinds of cats.
You help keep me sane. I do Guinea Pig Rescue . Also have five rescued cats …one of the most common questions I get is why don’t your cats eat the guinea pigs?!?
Anyways, thank you !!😅
Grey and black cats are some of the most BEAUTIFUL cats (all cats are beautiful :'3). Equal opportunity to rescue every baby
Years ago, we adopted a whole litter of four kittens. One almost completely black (male), we end up naming him Inky. One slightly less completely black (female), we named her Sooty. One tuxedo (female), we named her Mimi. And one grey (male), we named Smudge. All shorthairs, and we believe they’re all oriental mixes. They all more or less of a white locket on their chest (Inky has just a few white hairs there), and white on their bellies (again, Inky has the smallest white patch on his belly). The grey one was supposed to be a Russian Blue, but after research, we decided he’s actually a Korat mix, which was confirmed when his eyes slowly turned a Peridot green as he got older.
We love them all. Personally, I like longhairs less than shorthairs, and Maine Coons or Norwegian Forest Cats even less, because they’re so big.
And I’ve loved tuxies ever since I was a kid. So, give me a shorthair tuxedo any day.
Those poor babies!! Being kept prisoner in that tiny cage for YEARS!!! SOMEONE CALL KPS!!!
those calico babies 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i must have
Just for everyone's information that watches this:
The saying "Get out of Dodge" is an old saying that mostly means "to get out of a bad/awkward/dangerous situation" but originally literally meant to leave Dodge City, Kansas during the "wild west" times of the USA.
It's often just used as a "leave home/current location" instead of the one that's often listed but it's used both ways and of course people that live in any place with "Dodge" in the name will likely dislike your use of it jokingly. Especially if you do so with that "ain't I a stinker" type of grin about it.
monkey! 🥺
Our local SPCA had a case of a kitten with a curved in spine and a flat tummy. The article in the newsletter talked about how they used a kind of brace to fix them. Also "get out of Dodge" refers back to the late 1800s when Dodge City, Kansas was a bit of a hellhole being on the edge of the frontier. Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson where among those charged with getting the riff raff out. It's use as a expression was probably from Gunsmoke's popularity beginning on the radio in the 1950s. Marshal Dillon's aim was to get the baddies to move on or "get out of Dodge".
Fingers crossed for the pectis babies I didn't know that happened in cats to
Y'know I usually watch your videos with my own kitties close by and/or on my lap and my male cat is not at all bothered by the sounds of kittens. But I can always see the ears of my girl cat twitching and when it came to the car ride with Frisbee and Pancake she even got up to check the tablet (she's so confused why kittens hide in this flat thing).
Thank you so much for being an equal opportunity foster mom! I never knew that that was actually a thing… idk how anybody could ever leave any animal in need! Especially those little cuties. So precious 🥹
Dodge is a city! In Kansas! It was a stop on the cattle moving trails that were the foundation of the 'old west' you see in movies. If you needed to make money faster or if you were in trouble you had to "get out of dodge" fast!
What's going on with your glasses at the beginning of the video? I'm so confused. My allergies thank the short hair of my cat who is my soulmate.
No worries about the ending
Hope the kitties won't need surgery. Is a lot to go through on a lil guy
It took me five minutes to realize you're not wearing very bold new gold glasses
The gold foil effect under your eyes in the first part was mesmerizing. Great video as usual.
I know kitten season is hell for you but I LIVE for all the bby videos. Thank you for taking in all these cuties ❤
You're amazing! I live in WV and there are absolutely no fostors or programs near me. I have had cats all my life. I recently rescued 2 moms and their kittens and 2 older boys from that family. I'm struggling and don't even have power but i make sure they have what they need. I need to get them fixed along with a cat of my own and i can't find help anywhere. I'm so incredibly stressed bc i don't have separate areas to keep them and if i don't get them fixed soon ill be looking at more litters. I'm so desperate but there's nowhere to get help here.
Tuxedos are the best.
I was born with PE! In my case, caused by my sternum actually developing up by my right collarbone. The top of my sternum is stuffed under the bottom edge of my collarbone on the right side of my chest. This caused my chest to appear caved inward in the centre and bumped outward by my collarbone.
Dodge = Dodge city, KS
Aging gimp confirmed–everything hurts more over a certain age. And if you head into mature territory and you already have pain issues? Oh, it's a wacky ball of fun. My general recommendations to get enough sleep and enough water, if possible, and if also possible, a good liniment or balm (personal favorites, Badger, they're great, and weirdly, Aspercreme makes a roll-on with lavender oil for smell-pretty that has a decent amount of lidocaine involved.)
(Sorry, don't know if either one's vegan completely–Badger's the likeliest, with a beeswax base and extracts.)
I Can understand why overful rescues, specifically, might prioritize the kittens most likely to survive. They're the most likely to be adopted and enable the rescue to get more kittens in. But… it still breaks my heart, and that's why I very much support tnr like you do.
awwwww, new mama is such a sweet girl!
I so much love your videos! Thank you and all your fosters and helpers for what you all do for the cats and kittens in your area. I have rescued and kept 21 cats who were kittens. They have a safe place to live with me and I continue to feed a small colony where I work. There is a rescue lady trying to to catch the cats I feed to get them spayed/neutered and vaccinated. So far caught two. About five to eight more to go.
You inspire me.
Mary: Go to the head of the class! Great summary!
Awwwwww! I'll admit I'm not a fan of grey tabbies, but all grey kitties are so pretty, and you HAVE to love the voids.
I am going to imagine the ones from Georgia meow with a southern accent.
Could listen to Mama G purr all the day.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All of those cuties are cute. Hoping that me leaving a comment pacifies the YouTube gods and brings you good fortune with the algorithm 😼🙌
"Get the heck out of Dodge." Dodge City Kansas was known as the wickedest town of the West. It was a "cow town", and it was mainly passed through by cowboys, and troublemakers. They would get liquored up at the saloon's, spend time with the "ladies", and then get into massive brawls. The phrase is supposed to be used when you are trying to get out of trouble, or run away from trouble.
Now whenever I hear that Jojo Siwa song, I'm hearing in my head:
"I was a bad Benjie…I'm hunting all the mouses just for funsies…"
Thank you so much for that. It is in fact, a much better song lol
We had 3 new kittens this week, still trying to get #4 and the already-pregnant-again momma. You have our sympathies.
"Why are you wet?" Every. Time.
I didn't see you ask about the possibility of using chest braces on the wee bebes…either soon or later on instead of the surgery! Was that even considered by the vet you spoke with? I would have liked to hear more on that and why/why not it was not an option in these cases.
Commenting for the algorithm because it's all i can do right now and it breaks my heart 💔😭
Your videos give me peace. Thank you so much for the work you do 💖
This is a bit of a rant about a personal story so if you don’t wanna ready my sad ramble just keep scrolling^
I just had a foster kitten who had a flat chest. It was like his ribs didn’t curve all the way, he had bumps on his sides were you could feel where the tips of his ribs were. The vets insisted on just monitoring him until it started effecting him badly (he was already struggling to breathe but was still playful so according to them he was ‘fine’). Unfortunately he passed away after rapidly deteriorating in just 6 hours. Worst part is, when I called the place I was fostering for they said their vets were off that day and I didn’t have permison to take him somewhere else so I just had to sit with him while he got worse. Haven’t fostered in a few weeks now, broke my heart. Good luck with your tinies, they have a pretty good shot of making it with vets that actually listen on their side.
I LOVE MAMA GARAGE shes sooo cute. Would be the perfect cuddle companion
The way I gasp we you said they only rescue the "highly adoptable ones" that they would LEAVE behind the short hair babies or the "ugly ones"💔. That makes my blood boil. I can't believe someone would be so heartless to leave those babies behind knowing they're probably going to die alone. Im so mad right now. 🙄 I have 2 cats that I found all alone in a trash can as kittens they were hardly alive and I took the both because they needed me not because they were cute 🥺
All kittens are beautiful in their own way! Huh. Black cherry soda from Walmart. I knew it was good but I didn't realize that kittens love it too…heading to Walmart.
