Cat Left On The Street By His Owners Won't Stop Kissing His New Mom On Her Nose | The Dodo Cat Crazy

This cat was hiding under a car in the heat after his owners left him behind. Luckily this woman found him and helped him heal. Now he shows her how grateful he is by snuggling up with her every chance he gets.

[@johndurrett3573]

In some cases, the animals become scared by all the changes going on in a home. Boxes, people coming in and out...he could have stress hid or run. For myself, I had a male that we were tight..but he was always an outdoor cat...when i moved to a new location I let him out thinking he would be close by..but instead he traveled like 5 miles over highways and arrived back at the apartment complex I left. Fortunately for me...I was able to go there and call out to him using a chain I used to rap on wood to call he and his brother in for dinner....and he came running. Not every animal lost or found is intentional. I am glad for the people that found Valentino and helped him heal. Hopefully his forever home is a purrfect match. :)

Barry Gomberg OK, I agree that it will be hard on this cat and I wish she could somehow keep it. But I think your last sentence is really getting carried away. This woman has rescued a cat in great distress off the street, nursed it back to health, and is now wanting to find a good home for it. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that she’s doing a wonderful deed overall.

[@CaylaMariTime]

People who do cat rescues as a living, like this woman, love every single cat that they help. However, if they kept every cat they fostered, there wouldn't be any room in their homes for other cats that need rescue. It looks like she fosters kittens -- those kittens also will find a forever home with another family so that she can continue doing the hard work of nursing cats back to health and raising abandoned kittens so they can survive on their own. I'm sure every cat foster family experiences heartbreak when they let go of the cats they've loved, but they do it so that they can help even more cats to survive and find their new families. It's a grueling and heartbreaking job and I commend her for continuing to do it.

Reminds me of my grandmother's cat. Her cat was abused before he was rescued, and couldn't even meow anymore. My grandma named him "Beaker" after that one Muppet since she said he could only "beak" instead of meow. That cat was one of the most cuddly balls of fur I've ever seen. Every moment you were at her house he'd want to jump in your lap and fall asleep. And at night if you weren't careful you'd wake up with a new purring pillow in your face. Man I miss the old cuddler. He passed away a few years back, and ironically after he did my own cat picked up a few of his cuddling habits afterwards. RIP Beaker. You are missed.

It's something I've done in the past, but that I should have done more and need to do more. Rescuing these animals myself? I kinda know myself well enough to know that I'll end up adopting all of them and it's not something I can afford at the moment nor is it something that would be good for them (I don't have a big enough place at the moment...maybe one day, hopefully) That being said, thanks for your advice, I'll definitely keep it in mind and see if it changes my mind over time.

No animal deserves to be deserted on the street, in the countryside, forest, trash or anyplace else. So glad "lover boy" Valentino is getting the love and care he needs now. If I didn't already own a kitty, i'd want to adopt this sweet kitty. I have shared this video on Facebook, and am sharing with a couple of friends by emails. Will say prayers that Valentino finds the purrfect furever home soon. Warmest wishes, Dianna

Several of our cats, over the years, have been left behind by their "family". One was 18 YO and kicked out of the only house he knew when his person died - by her son. Abandonment is the _ULTIMATE_ _BETRAYAL_ . Any one who does it is lower then whale s#!t

When I was a kid my father lost his job and my mom was not working either. We had to move out of our house and into a smaller apartment that did not take cats. My mom and sister went to multiple pounds looking for a new home for Spooks but we could not find a shelter that was not going to put him down if he could not find a new home in a few weeks. None of our family friends had room either. Our options were letting him fend for himself or putting him down. What should we have done?

[@solar0wind]

He's maybe also so cuddly now because he has abandonment issues and is insecurely bonded as a result... :( Insecurely bonded cats can become quite clingy (just as humans). The thinking behind it (at least in humans) is "if I don't show them affection 24/7, they might leave me". Securely bonded cats trust their human to never leave them, so they are often maybe a bit less affectionate, but when they look for affection you know it's really because of positive feelings and not because of fear. I hope that this beautiful cat will find a good forever home that he can grow old in and that gives him more trust again. That's what he deserves

Just saw this today. Thanks to whoever rescued him. 17 years ago we rescued a little girl from the local shelter and our lives have never been the same since. Callie Ann came into our lives and took over our hearts. She soon became daddy's little girl. She gave us so much unconditional love and joy and became our everything. Last Thursday, she finally gave up a very brave and quiet fight against cancer and told us it was okay to say goodbye. I can't even begin to describe the pain I am going through now. I don't know if I will make it though this. My wife and I are heartbroken and will never forget how much love she gave us. It warms my heart to see others giving a new beginning to these precious little angels. Thanks to all who rescue them. God bless you.
