ALFALFA - Abandoned Kitten Rescue

Although we don’t know for sure what his story is… Alfalfa suddenly appeared at a feral colony in a parking lot, so we wanted to get him off the streets to safety, socialize him and hopefully find him a home.
Luckily his PAWSOME foster Mom Colleen decided he was already home and after falling in love with the little rascal, she adopted him herself!
Thanks to all the people out there who foster cats and kittens!

Happy New Year everyone! :) Thanks fur following along with my rescue and TNR work, I have SO many videos in the can that I need to edit, I'm going to try and make a bunch this month before kitten season gets going again here in Florida! For every video I post there must be half a dozen cats/kittens I help out that I don't make a video about, purrlease check out my Instagram account to keep up with everything I do... I hope these posts have inspired some other folks out there to get involved themselves?! CMC IG: instagram.com/catmanchrispoole Hope 2021 is a better year humans and felines! #MakingADifference #CatManChris

[@lindafunicello3574]

Thank you for doing what you do. I was going to say that was a beautiful cat when I realized that I have never seen a cat that wasn't. Happy Meow year 🎉. How's Cole doing?

[@sand_grass]

Thank you. Happy New Year.

[@RamenNoodle1985]

So glad everything that happened in the last year and a half worked out for you! So happy you're back! Here's to a better year ahead (knock on wood and cross fingers everyone) for all of us! *sending good thoughts to Cole

[@CherylBerryl]

🎊Happy New Year Chris & Fam.🎉 Thank you Chris for all that you do! Praying for Sweet Cole! I'm not on Instagram, so I hope you will also post on YT about his progress. I'm a Rescuer, residing in N.Y. and I totally understand how bad it is with all the domestic dumps! I care for MANY feral colonies in my community & it just never seems to end! 15 new dumps this year, and 1 large colony of cats (that I worked my fingers to the bone getting all TNR'd) were Poisoned! with only about 6 cats left. I'm beyond Devestated! And losing 2 of my kitties back to back during the beginning of the lockdown. And recently, a Senior cat that we've been caring for for 16 yrs just had to be PTS. 😔 It sure isn't easy doing this work, (as you well know), but we just have to keep on keeping on!....because these fur-babies NEED us Desperately!

[@CatManChrisPoole]

@@lindafunicello3574 That's true! Cole is great thanks, talking to oncologist next week to figure out the plan moving forward, Happy Mew Year!

[@gungadinn]

I'm a failure at fostering cats and kittens. No one wants them, so I'm stuck. I do however make a great cat daddy.

[@Jane_Dow]

So actually your not a failure, as you say " your a Great Cat Daddy " ! ( that should be your handle/name, if you so choose to use it ). I sometimes found it hard to find a Good home for some of them & found my home was theirs too. Gotta love them !! :~)

[@Loren8762]

Congratulations! And Thank You for all that you do and for caring

[@lisabelle7553]

So... you’re basically just a super hero to your kitties, and to all of us animal lovers!! By the way, social media along with great photos and backstory can really help generate interest in finding good homes. Bless you!

[@stacyfausnaugh9217]

It's so refreshing to see men love cats as much as women do :).

[@delorestaylor8114]

I have been blessed with several case-offs, or in my case, adoptable fur babies. 😻

[@kathrynblodgett1969]

So adorable. Big brother making him hold still so he can "comb his hair". So Alfalfa, lolol

[@heersyal2454]

Aww ... it's always so heart-warming to see the rescues go from frightened to snuggle bugs! Thanks for all the amazing work you do!

[@jillipepper5353]

Oh, those terrified eyes😥. Glad he found a forever home. 🙋🏼

[@riversong4311]

I loved watching Alfalfa's transformation. It is beautiful watching street cats become cats with forever homes.

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

He really liked that cage! Just casually sittin there

[@CatManChrisPoole]

I know right, I'm glad he decided to get comfy and finally set off the trap LOL

[@pmbluemoon]

@@CatManChrisPoole He almost defied setting off that trap, like he KNEW that's what it was!

[@janedoex1398]

Perhaps he knew people were trying to help. Maybe he wasn't on the streets for too long and could still remember being part of a family. Not like kittens born outside in a colony.

[@pmbluemoon]

@@janedoex1398 Very true. Cats are smart and some of them know what a trap is and learn what sets them off. My friend found that out when she was trying to trap a colony of cats at her place. We couldn't catch the "main culprit" because she knew what the trap meant.

[@janedoex1398]

@@pmbluemoon yes. They are so underestimated....even considered mean and not capable of bonding beyong being food driven.... UGH. Sadly often it comes to "dog vs cat person " which i find dumb and totally unessecary btw but whatever. Even though everyone can have preferences , there is no need to put "the others" down.

Humans are the worst animals in this planet.

[@dawnpiper5883]

There is a gene missing from them that kind people possess and I saw that in a serial killer documentary years ago

[@Timetryp]

But kind people intervene and save their lives....

Because some people have no heart.

[@annagarcia2858]

Aw...thank goodness he is safe now... Perfect name for a beautiful and loving baby 🤗💕💕.....Y'all rock!!🙃💕

[@greenbriar07]

Starting off the year on a purrfect note with a kitty rescue! Bonus: Learning that minnow snacks are a thing 🐟

[@karenbrown4524]

I was wondering what fish sort that was. It looked like well-nourished anchovies.

[@poppyhwa]

omg look at that silly hair! what a chill guy! look at that tiny mug! the markings on the legs are so beautiful as well! what an absolutely delightful lad

[@Beekind2527]

What a lil beauty his eyes are expressive and gorgeous. Thank you for saving him and providing a safe and caring wonderful home for him.

[@aevalk8369]

The look on his face (who and what are you?) and his subsequent "Nope "(0:06) as he kept on stepping was cutest cat nope and walkaway so far. The little eye peeking out of the carrier, his facial expressions and sweet demeanor, he could be a cat star. He's got the elusive IT that Hollywood looks for in people.

[@sarahburke6739]

I’m so glad you got this adorable cutie off the street and safe! No animal should be dumped by a careless human! Thank you for saving this little guy, we appreciate everything you do!

[@tvm-manducktv8375]

Please see my KZbin😚👍

[@ES-mc3cc]

Kitties are uncomfortable and afraid in their new homes. Then they become comfortable, take over, and enslave us!

[@davidtolin7030]

And all is right in the world

[@janedoe8470]

I'm thrilled that she kept him 🥰 He seems like such a sweet, easy going guy 😻

[@PennySue]

Oh thank you so much for saving another life and giving him a chance he so much deserves and thank you to his foster mom for adopting him!! I've trapped and saved many, many cats and I know that feeling of just waiting for them to step on that trip plate. I just can't explain that feeling of running up to the trap with a towel to cover it and knowing another life has been saved!! Thank you!!!

[@christhebirb]

Awesome, I've been waiting for Alfalfa's rescue story ever since I saw him on your Instagram! So happy he found his furever home!

[@silverscorpio24]

I couldn't foster cats. I would end up adopting them all! ❤

[@ddieter603]

Three of our cats were foster failures. Their now-sainted brother was the fourth. All our cats were rescued from something.

[@mousiebrown1747]

Minnows! What a great treat! His eyes are spectacular! Twin moons.

[@MACMoneU2]

Freeze dried minnows are my cats jam. Best treat I ever found.

[@gregweatherup9596]

Are they de-boned? Can you buy them in a store? Do you defrost them before feeding them to the cat? I’ve never seen this before this video!

[@deadaccount6135]

She made one mistake... She spoiled him rotten right off the bat, with fishies! 🤣😻😻😻

[@davidtolin7030]

Not a mistake

OMFG I freaking love the name!! I remember watching The Little Rascals when I was little (I'm now 30) and this name couldn't be more perfect!! So glad you rescued him!!!

What a sweet little guy. He was asking so nicely for his treats ❤

I love to see your videos. Keep up the good work. I too hope people are getting inspired to help with this sad problem. I live in California, small town. I have been doing so too. Not as much as you but anything helps. I have found three pets that were lost and reunited them with their owner. That’s the best feeling ever💗❤️😻 I pray to encounter more and reunite them.🙏

Baxter appeared one early morning when tech Dave was opening the Cat Hospital for business. his head was soaked in blood, and he just politely waited for Dave to open the door, then sauntered (cats don't "walk in", they saunter) in. he's now our Rescue of many years. Alfalfa looks to have hit the gold mine. lovely vid!
