Scared feral kitten trusts a human for the first time

New kittens arrived at the kitty house at the park. They are six siblings. 5 of them were super chill kittens but one of them was scared and hissy. On my watch, I can't let a kitten become a feral cat. So I did my part.

Even when they're angry, they're cute.

“I dont care how long it takes” simple relatable to every cat lover 😂❤️

One thing I can definitely appreciate about Turkish culture is that they're literally famous for having, and taking care of, so many stray cats. It's like a cultural tradition for the people there to feed and give affection to their local strays. Absolutely heartwarming. Good on ya Turkey!

I wish more people had this compassion for animals.

This is exactly what I love so much about cats. You have to earn their trust. Finally getting a cat to trust you is such a rewarding feeling.

For everyone watching this: never approach a panicked kitten with your hand so close to its mouth.
I've been in this exact situation, saved a kitty that was very afraid, same age as this one, and it bite my finger so hard in a split second, that he actually severed my nerve and damaged my bone.
Took months to use my finger again, and I was in constant sharp pain for the whole recovery duration...
I've had at least 30 kittens in my life (multiple female cats that got litters), and I really was unaware how strong their bite can be, and how sharp their teeth are. Makes you really realise that when they play fight with you, they're actually very gentle.

Anyway, dont approach your fingers to their mouth until their calmed down.

My dad passed away but he left behind a feral cat that he spent a year gaining its trust on his back patio 10 years before he passed.... one day after a year she finally jumped up in his lap and after that it was a lock. She just died in April at 16 years old...far longer than she probably would have lived.

Seeing the scratchmarks on the guy's hand as he holds the kitten just shows how much he's devoted to helping those scared cats. Truly a blessing for these poor homeless animals.

Best cat i ever had began as a feral. Hated me, hissed at me, then gradually began receiving pets, then asking for them, never leaving my side... meanwhile my other cats, born to domesticated parents, just stroll around and ignore me. It's like the feral one thanked me for taking him in... while the other ones do not care at all

This reminds me of meeting my kitty. She was only partly feral, afraid of people but with some signs she had been exposed to them before. I Had to get her out from under a bed; she had come inside to share food with our family cat. Then I sat with her in a small room until she was okay with me sitting there, and let me open cupboards for her.
It was two months before she stopped pretending she wasn't following me around my apartment on purpose. Now we've had almost six years together and she is curled up on my desk.

Turkey and their treatment towards cats needs to made an example all over the world. Truly heartwarming and inspirational. Thank you, Istanbul!

It is so special when a feral cat/kitten starts to trust a human and allows them to pat them. So beautiful ❤️

[chrismaguire]

Food is always the way to go with them. Instant trust... Well, a bit, anyway.😁

That first "hey" at 0:04 lined up so well with the cat meowing I thought the cat was talking.

Eating while angry is the most relatable cat things ever 😂💗 1:29

My little girl passed away a few weeks ago and I am still hurt.
She was so smart and healthy and thought I had least 8 more years.
Man I really miss her. She was such a sweet cat and very intelligent.

The first kitten has one of the cutest faces. I would adopt him in a heartbeat.
