Rescuing a sick street kitten - Flatbush Cats

At the same time we were trying to keep her alive, we had tons of other foster cats, TNR projects, colonies to care for, kittens to socialize.

And that’s how we learned you can’t rescue or adopt your way out of a problem this big.

We promised Mani that one day soon, we’d prevent other cats from ever suffering outside at all. Join us in making sure that happens.

Music in order of appearance, please support the artists!

I am in tears. In my country there are no feral cats so it is possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love you give these cats.

I have admired your work for a while now, and it has inspired me. I saw at my new job (working at a bank now) there is a colony of 12 cats living across the street from the bank. Only one was fixed, and I knew I had to do something before it got worse. I set up an appointment with the local humane society, and thankfully they have a clinic come out there twice a month that pays in full for spay and neuter services (the only thing I had to pay was the $10 rabies vaccine for each cat). Unfortunately they only had enough appointments for me to bring up to 7 of them, but I went for it anyway. I did a lot of research into TNR, got the equipment I needed, and my coworkers also pitched in and helped with the costs. After a lot of planning, time, and effort, 7 cats (3 boys 4 girls) were caught, fixed, and have returned to their outdoor home in good health. I plan to get the rest of them on the next day the clinic comes to the humane society (they aren't visiting this week due to Christmas).

Thank you for your work not just in TNR, rescue, fostering, and kitten socializing; thank you for inspiring others as well. <3

Honestly, I would never be able to pass an animal in distress. You should be really proud of all that you have accomplished and how many cats you have saved. All your volunteers should be immensely proud.

So THAT'S the cat with the beautiful voice from the other video! That's so sweet!

The laugh before the "we never got around to putting her up for adoption" made me tear up y'all ❤❤

[pythonxz]

This has ratcheted my willingness to adopt even more.

Beautiful people helping beautiful animals.

It's so sad to see so many cats suffering outside :(
I wish I could adopt them all, I have so much love to give them

"We can't rescue or adopt our way out of problems this big." So, so true. You have such a way with words, thank you for helping get this message out there. And for saving Mani!

"I know this is hard to see but thank you for not looking away, because that's how we got here." What a powerful and moving line.

[RamenNoodle]

Oh man, I never connected the Mani in your newsletter to this video before! So happy you rescued her, and shame on the people who walked by an obviously suffering kitten.

[Furiousa]

I can't imagine how hard it must be to rescue cats. Knowing that sometimes you can't help certain ones or doing everything right only to have one pass away.

[AlbinoKiwi]

"I know this is hard to see but thank you for not looking away, because that's how we got here" i'm fucking tearing up already jesus that wrenched at my heart

[special_summon]

these videos got me through a rough patch, thank you for being such kind people

[mansharker]

who would keep on walking by kittens who are that ill and in need? its very sad.... I am glad you guys rescue them.

[andromedaiscoming]

Thanks! I love cats with all my heart and soul, you are angels.

[Strike]

I never realised Mani was a rescue with such a difficult past. She's a beautiful angel.
Bless you guys, and everybody who volunteers to help you. You're extraordinary people.
