This woman is incredible. The patience it took to socialize a feral cat and make him love you-this woman is a miracle worker. And look how happy her kitty Bruce looked at the end! A real cat whisperer!

“I wake up with a smile on my face and I go to bed with a smile on my face”

-perfectly sums up how I feel after getting a cat 🐈 ❤️

This is how we took in our feral girl Josie. I had been feeding her for about 6 months with me sitting on our porch just talking to her. I was finally able to pet her and she just melted after that. She was starved for affection. We finally brought her in the house one cold Canadian winter night and she has never left. That was 5 years ago and she has the best life with her 3 cat brothers.

Congratulations! I adopted a neighborhood cat 16 years ago. Yesterday, for the first time, she gave me a kiss. Worth the wait.

You have to really love someone to maintain that kind of patience. But obviously the rewards were HUGE. The love story of a sweet lady and a cautious cat has a very happy ending.

Amazing transformation from a terrified feral to a sweet cuddler

It's the knowledge that people who take care of animals exist that makes me want to keep on living.

This woman, is a keeper, beautiful inside and out.

OMG I bawled through the whole video. That woman is a Saint!! So grateful Bruce has the life he deserves ❤

I've succeeded like this with several ferals. Believe me, it can be done with adult cats, not just kittens. Persistence and patience over time and a lot of love.

I am currently taming a stray. We feed him everyday, he comes to eat, hisses at me, then lets me pet him when he’s eating. He has a little bit of scar tissue on one half of his face from when he got bitten by a predator. His name is Prince William and he’s probably one of the cutest cats I’ve ever seen, he has a sort of round face and he’s a brownish-gray with sort of half spotted half striped markings. He has a white nose patch and a white stripe that goes up to in between his eyes, he has pale green-yellow eyes. I make more progress everyday

Edit: now he is fully tamed, he comes inside. He has developed a bad limp after fighting with another cat, and I worry for him a bit because he is not a young cat.

Hats off to you. Wow! The incredible amount of Saint-like patience you must have to tame an adult feral cat. Unbelievable. People say it can’t be done.

Seeing bruce realizing that living as a housecat is very convenient in a warm house full of pillows, unlimited food, and lots of love gives me the serotonin boost i need ❤️

The way he looked up at her 3:46 after she gave him a kiss melted my heart

Sweet boy, My 15 year old cat died in early October this years makes me cry so hard watching all these beautiful cat pet vid's 😭👌💜

[brooklyn_]

He was just scared. You are a lovely woman for taking the time ❤

What a totally handsome cat! This is proof that not all ferals are incapable of becoming loving house cats and companions. I lost my very first cat, a former feral, that turned out to be the best cat ever. We lived together for over ten years before kidney failure took him from me. He never damaged or scratched anything n the house and was always the best cat I could have ever wanted. I really miss my friend and buddy.

[texasbeast]

That took a helluvalotta patience and long-suffering. Kudos. Bruce, you're living the high life now, buddy!

[nackjicholson]

What a blessing it is to have such a beautiful cat show up on your doorstep like this. I'd love to give Bruce lots of kisses and cuddles. 😊🥰

This is absolutely beautiful. He looks so much like the feral we rescued size and all. Mr. Tennessee Whiskers would stare into our house for hours upon hours. If we closed the curtains he would find any open spot to stare into. He was the best creeper. Now he lives inside, rides in a cat stroller and sleeps in an actual baby bassinet. It is such a beautiful thing to see how much these guys/girls transform with an abundance of love.
