  1. why don’t we ever see what finally happens to these guys. a pit bull? now this little kitty ( although it seems like she’ll stay). no conclusions ???????

  2. Feline Leukemia is such a bitch. We took in a couple of strays years ago and we didn't know the Male had it, we had never even heard of it before. We had gotten him fixed but we also didn't know they could have residual swimmers for a while after the procedure so we let him be around the female we rescued and didn't get fixed yet and kinda laughed it off when he tried to "be with" her but then she blessed us with 5 babies on Mothers Day lol Then about a year later he suddenly got sick and died before we could help him and it turns out that's what he had and then not long after we lost him the mama died too because he gave it to her and unfortunately one on their babies died from it too a couple years later. 2 of their other babies have also had health problems and have been supper susceptible to infections and we just lost one of them 3 days ago from an infection the doctors couldn't get rid of ? It is so dangerous and can cause so many problems. We are super conscious of it now and it's our first thought if any of our cats get sick. Its heartbreaking.

  3. OH MY WORD you have our kitten Yuki, she also stands up on her back paws. Our little Rambo is white , blue eyes and shes partly deaf and blind. Buts shes a beautiful baby

  4. Geez lmao that King Charles Cocker is REALLY excited, to have this kitty isn't it?!!?constant wiggle tail!lmao
    Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wag,wiggle wag wag wiggle wag

  5. Please be aware: in 1986 I adopted a stray feral kitten. When another of my cats became ill, my vet, one of Minnesota’s finest, told me she had caught Feleuk. Because they were all inside only cats, I knew Pete, the new little guy, had spread it.They were not vaccinated; at the time we had no Feleuk in the area. My other three cats were now ill or carriers. Dr Yoho, my vet, who knew me for years and was also a friend, said that according to a reputable study, ***people who worked with cats, such as shelter staff veterinarians and their staff, breeders and zoo workers showed elevated rates of leukemia identical to Feleuk.**

    I asked why other vets didn’t seem to know about this? He said maybe they didn’t want to know. I asked if he’d ever had himself tested. He said, “Maybe I don’t want to know.” There was no treatment, either for cats or people. I know as of a few days ago Dr Yoho is alive and well, retired. I took Pete home and with vet care for infections, he lived less than a year. Kittens have little immune systems and fail fast. My older cat lived two years but had kidney failure for ten, in all. A younger cat was positive but reverted to negative; Dr Yoho said she was so healthy she suppressed it but it was in her bones and would return; she was about three years, lived to 21.

  6. Mom: These animals are like my babies. 10 seconds later …

    Daughter: Yay you can stay‼️

    Mom: NO….NO??‍♀️ ….SHEE’S NOT STAYING‼️??‍♂️???

  7. I had a kitten that never grew her front paws were exactly like that. She was my baby. I took her to stores, vacations, work, everywhere she loved going with me. She loved cuddling most. She was my best friend and she passed away Aug 31 2019.it was really hard to watch this. I need her back. I hav3 no kids, she was truly my baby. I can't stop crying at night sleeping alone.

  8. for someone who runs a "rescue" and fosters these animals, a lot of things in this video were questionable. The way the kitten met the dogs and the cat, the way they're throwing the kitten around like it's a toy… this ain't it

  9. Just could be the presence of anti-bodies for FeLV even if the birth mother cat may have FeLV?
    Could last few weeks or months and maybe still be present for the lifetime of the cat?
