Also you have done an amazing job, you are doing all the right things, you must have an awesome vet team you have been working with through all this! So excited for you and your family!

      I was always so amused about my cat and snap being pretty much the same age cause me and simsie are also close in age and our sisters too. But then my cat died at almost 14 to a rapidly growing tumor... Like we were at the vet Thursday for a x-ray scan cause she's had problems pooping for a while and they said "she's fine and probably gonna live a few more years" and on Saturday she was so bloated from the tumor (previously so small that no one saw it) and had to get put to sleep Monday

But when her new owners (friends of mine, I couldn't keep her because I already have two cats) took her to the vet to get spayed, the vet found that she already had a spay scar. She isn't the first cat that's been abandoned near where I live, either.

    Thank you, Kayla, for saying you'd introduce them to Snap very, very slowly. I see way too many videos of people introducing their cats to kittens just straight up face-to-face and the adult cat hissing at the kitten while the kitten is terrified. And then the person not even instantly separating them when the adult hisses and the kitten doesn't back off.
    So it's nice to see someone actually care about the cats and doing things the right way

    • @Eventide215

      Oh no! A cat hissed?! Do you even know what that means? It can mean many things. You can introduce cats face to face and very quickly. You can also introduce them very slowly. It really just depends on the cats involved. Snap already knows they're there.. even if she's old she has a sense of smell that's higher than ours. People always act like you need to take months to introduce new animals but you really don't unless they were feral.

    • @TessuDraws

      @@Eventide215 You can always think that you know your pet perfectly but at the end of the day, you don't. They're animals that are driven by instinct. Even the sweetest, most gentle cat and turn around and kill a kitten. Cats are super territorial and a hiss can turn to claws and teeth in a second.
      And even if it is just a hiss, it's still not okay. The kitten will be scared and confused and that's not fair to the kitten. And the adult cat will be angry and stressed. And then you'll just have two cats that are stressed out. That's not okay. Cats should never be introduced face-to-face.

    • @Eventide215
      @Eventide215 Před 11 měsíci

      @@TessuDrawsYou're also an animal driven by instinct. You can't ever know anything about any person in the world so I guess we should never introduce ourselves to people? Slowly do it over the course of months? Again, it depends on the person. I'm extremely territorial and don't want people just coming onto my property. I know that about me. I also know my dog is extremely happy to see anyone and any animal as long as I say so.
      If you don't know your own animal you're a terrible owner. As for a hiss, that can be *many* different things. It also won't just terrify a kitten. They know what hissing is and what it means. Cats communicate with each other through many means.
      You can introduce your animals in whatever way you want, but you can't admonish everyone for doing it in a different way from you. I've had many cats and many dogs and have never had any issue with them being stressed out or causing issues. Why? Because I know my animals. I know what they will tolerate and what they won't.

    I love content like this. My husband and I have almost 3 acres of land and we have 12 cats. Most of them were strays we rescued that were in bad condition and the others we adopted from shelters. We bought them an Aluminum loft shed and did the insulation, dry wall, electrical, flooring, painted the walls, did the outside decking and steps and created them wall mounts to attach beds to the walls. They love their space.

    I have two black kitties and watching this video made me so happy - my babies are also gutter/sewer cats and I remember them being so little and being so proud of how well behaved my stinky gutter babies behaved during vet visits (Multiple visits because I was always so worried about their health) watching this made me think about when mine were little tiny babies running around and causing chaos and then passing out on my lap for some pretty serious nap time. It was so fun to watch them grow into big beautiful housecats (who still cause chaos - just a little less than they used to) ❤

    I have a foster kitten right now as well, and we seriously think someone just dumped her on the side of the road, because she came right up to my mom when she found her, and immediately became attached to us. It’s so sad to me that someone would do that to her when she’s literally the sweetest little baby :(

    This is so funny, in the beginning of the year we also fed a black stray cat that always came to our door. The she started to get bigger and we thought it’s because of the food (she was very thin before). But she actually was pregnant! Took her to the vet and they said that she is pregnant with 7!! babies. We took her in and then 1,5 Months later she gave birth to 7 healthy babies and it was such a amazing experience seeing them grow and play🥹 they all found a home outside ours and we kept one! He’s now 4 months🥰 he always plays with our house cat cookie😂

    Reminds me of my own black cat, Phoebe who is a rescue. She is 15-16 years old now but she got out when she was 2 and ended up having 4 babies, 3 boys and 1 girl. They were named Rhino (because he kept charging and headbutting into his siblings like a Rhinoceros) Monkey (because he climbed literally everything) and Taz (because he had the constant zoomies) and the girl was Princess, because obviously my cat is the Queen and she was just as vain as her mother grooming herself in front of a mirror all the time. They were all adopted and their names probably changed, all the boys but not Princess, who was adopted with one of the boys by a dad who said he was getting the kittens for his two kids, a son and daughter. ❤

    LOVE videos of accidental cats!!! Ten years ago, we had a mom-cat situation very much like yours. We think the mom cat was left behind when our neighbor moved. When she moved her kittens under our porch, we started taking care of the family. We adopted out three of the kittens, but kept mom and her only boy of the litter. At the time, we also had a 16-year-old cat, but surprisingly, everyone seemed to get along okay. Our elderly cat seemed to not really know what was going on, and the mom-kitty seemed to respect her space. We still have our porch kitties.They are in their forever home.

    Keep the updates coming! Also re the University student thing. I kinda agree. When I was in Uni there were SO MANY students that adopted cats they couldn't take care of/couldn't keep. Thankfully, of the ones I knew about they all ended up in good homes (parents mostly) but university students keeping cats they ultimately can't take care of is unfortunately a very real thing.

    We have had such a similar situation back in 2005. We (well, my parents, we were kids) started feeding a small black stray cat, and then one day she carried, in her mouth, one by one, seven tiny kittens into our garden. They were only a few days old then, and we just buried the last of them this January at age 17, as a much beloved member of our family. Wishing similarly long and happy lives for your kittens!

  • @ashleylarocque4500

    If the mama cat was that gentle, it could be a sign that she did once have an owner or at least was used to being around people.
    She could be a cat that is missing. Mine went missing for a year and a half after she accidentally got out because a kid left the door open. and someone found her and brought her to the vet. She was microchipped, which is how the vet was able to contact us and let us know they found her.
    Aside from a tiny frostbite on one of her ears, she was in really good condition. So we're pretty sure she had been taken in for a while. I was so happy to have her back. I was 12 at the time and I still have her. And i'm twenty five now. I also have another cat that looks exactly like the mama cat. He's fine he's chilling in my window.

    So cute! love the pic of your dad with the kitten.
    Regarding cat UTI's, i grew up with cats and watched one for a few weeks. Whenever I gave him wet food I would add a little bit of water when I saw him show signs of UTI's (frequent litter box visits, drinking very little).
    We call it 'slobber' in Dutch, just make it a little soupy.
    When you add water to wet food they are more inclined to drink it before they eat!

    I recently rescued a older stray after two weeks of feeding and gaining trust I managed to bring her to a vet, she had broken teeth and a hernia in her belly and went on to be adopted by the sweetest old lady. Brings me to tears everytime i think about how long she was living on the streets abandoned. So glad you helped these kitties and that you are able to keep them you are doing a great job Kayla trust me.
    Introduce them slowly and don't give up, i used garden mesh to block off my spare room door when I was introducing my new kitten to my older cat so they could see each other and get used to each other, and definately keep at least two, Snaps not gonna have the energy to deal with a kitten when they get too playful. Great job and good luck XD

    I adopted a stray black cat a few months ago. Her name is Indigo & is so loving & affectionate. There was a 'crazy' cat lady that once lived close by (she had at least 12 cats) but she moved or passed away, not sure. Either way that's how we got her. We thought she was a kitten as well bc of how little she is, but the vet said she's probably around 2 years old. I love my kitty so much. Never been much of a cat person, but here we are. Your video got me feeling emotional. Frankie & her kittens look so much like Indigo. I love this super wholesome content. Thank you for sharing xx
