Humans don't deserve cats sometimes, but they choose to stick with us anyway.

[@Pythonaria]

This is why I have 8 rescue cats. They and my adult son are *THE* most important things in my life. So happy Ellie and Fergie found a loving, forever home. I sincerely hope Ellie lives a long and happy life.

[@robingray5037]

I hear you. I have 7 street-rescue kitties. They mean the world to me.

[@m6666]

Yup, I have 2 rescue cats. 1 was dumped when she was pregnant, so I fostered her and helped her birthing as all 4 kitties were breach births. They all got adopted, and by then, I'd become attached to mama, so I adopted her. The 2nd kept running away from her home, and didn't know the name she'd had for 7 years, so of course I adopted her, gave her a new name, and kept her inside for approximately 6-9 months. When she finally came outside, there was no attempt to run away. These gorgeous girls are in their teens now and very happy. Though they still come outside, they can no longer leave the property, but they always follow me. If I go inside, they need to come with me and the same if I go outside. I'm so glad these 2 beautiful sisters were adopted together and now have their own happy family. I hope that Ellie's heart will settle down and that they can live wonderful long lives together. Much love from Australia ❤🇦🇺

[@luanngordon8639]

​@@robingray5037of all my pets, (6 cats, 1 dog, 6 raccoons, and 4 stray kitties that show up daily to eat) only 1 was actually born at my house. The rest knew that I am the CRAZY lady. Even the raccoons come knocking at the door. Until I placed a brick over the hole, mama 'coon and my dog would fight. She would put her paw up the hole into my house and steal food out of the dog's dish.

[@cathymcglasson6947]

To whom ever abandoned these two beautiful cat's I hope your real proud of yourself the pain and heart ache you put them through is disgusting. I just pray to God above you don't have children because the first sign of trouble you would abandon them as well.

[@ClareC-vd7nu]

Will never understand how anyone can just abandon a poor innocent animal, especially one that’s in need of medical care 😡🤷🏼‍♀️😢. I understand financial issues are a factor but there’s no excuse for just leaving them when there are places that can help / take the animals so they are cared for. Am very glad that Ellie and Fergie got to stay together as support for each other and they now have a loving new home and will get the care and attention they deserve 🐈 ❤

[@lesliebray8114]

This is a most heart warming story !!!! The lady that presented this video shows so much commitment and love to the animals ! So grateful for the people who adopted them and are willing to provide all the care they deserve. We all have flaws. That doesn't mean that we are not worthy of love and a chance to live our best life !!

[@ddavies1967]

So happy to hear that they've found a home together. A curse on whomever left them alone. As you say, there is no excuse.

[@thebyrd433]

If I lived in the UK, I would have taken those two lovely ladies in a heartbeat. Shocking when people abandon pets so easily. Why even get a pet when you don't really care for them in the first place?

[@m6666]

Exactly, I would have taken them as well. They're absolutely gorgeous girls. However, I don't live in the UK either. I'm so glad they found their furever home together. ❤

[@susanhopkison3363]

There are some people who are vile excuse of human beings. Whatever type of animal they are cats, dogs Whatever they are God's creatures & deserve love , kindness & a forever home with a loving mom & dad.💖💖

[@thebyrd433]

@@susanhopkison3363 I could not agree more. Loving pets are a priceless gift and should never be ignored, belittled, or abused.

[@deniseroe5891]

If I was on the other side of the pond, I would take them is a heart beat! They are beautiful. Thank you Scott. Years ago I adopted a male Maine Coon cat. His owner had to go into a nursing home. He bonded with me, almost like a dog. The day he died he held on until I found him and passed in my arms. Nit has been over 20 years and I still can cry.

[@sunayakong8537]

One poem made a point of asking that if the human dies to make sure the pet sees them so that the pet know that they are not being abandoned so they will know nor to keep looking for them.

[@lindastafford3632]

Had a cat with a heart murmur. Had him nearly 16 years b4 it caused his death. He was active n playful n affectionate all that time.

[@MarnieSchalla]

My dog has a grade 5. He takes medication. He was abused early in life but we don’t know his whole story. Got him at 3-4 years. He’s about 9-10 now. Not ready for him to go, but he’s beaten great odds and lived way longer than anticipated. Happy.

[@Clare51257]

It’s horrible that these two poor little animals were abandoned so heartlessly and that little Ellie did not get the medical care she needed 😢. If you get an animal then you need to give them everything they need for all their life and not just dump them at the first difficult problem 😡. So lucky that someone realised they had been abandoned and got them the help that the owner couldn’t be bothered to do. Vet bills are increasing but there are other options available which are all much better than just abandoning an animal. Lovely news that Ellie and Fergie have now got a lovely new home together 🐈💓

[@Spikypotato.]

Our rescue cat lit up our life like nothing else ❤❤❤ she is absolutly amazing.

[@RapiersSting]

anyone that abandons thier fur babies should suffer the asme fate.. with that said i rescued two bonded brothers(they bonded in the shelter) i had only went to get one but couldn't leave his brother behind even living on limited SSD we manage..never break up a bonded pair..!!

[@vexxedvelociraptor5793]

I will never understand people who just abandon their animals like a banana peel when medical issues for the animal arise, not even trying to find help from outside. That's such a gross behavior. These two little girls got very lucky someone chose to take up the commitment to care for them properly for however long the lives they have.

[@micheladonofrio2285]

People are just unbelievable! How could you just leave animals when with 1 phone call someone could have taken them. For shame!

[@denisegreene8441]

I just adopted two older kittens from a rescue. They were transferred from a high kill shelter in California, USA to a rescue organization in BC Canada. My female had a horrendous start and to this day is very skittish and un trusting. I have had them for 3 months now and have had many medical issues with the male kitten; we are dealing with stomach issues right now. The joy i feel when my lil girl sidles up to me on the couch is pure bliss. Rescue cats can be work but if you have patience and time you will be rewarded.

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

Brilliant news! I'm glad someone stepped forward to adopt them. Well done!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Scott,isn't that descusting when people leave their animals alone with nothing 😢. Thank you for helping these 2 sweet hearts🤗. JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞

[@willowravenwright5518]

I have six cats. Every one of them is a rescue.

[@aq5426]

My cats have all been rescues too. Rescue cats are great.

[@erikadowdy2382]

Why are humans SO disappointing???? What Beautiful cats!! I would take them in a minute❤

[@sherylcoetzer1]

It's wonderful news that they have a new loving home.

[@sunayakong8537]

I would recommend that another cat be introduced to the two so that if Ellie does pass then Fergie is not left all alone.

[@maryatkinson2006]

Well, that's not love, it is cruel as the rescuer pointed out. We had a kitten of nearly 4 mths we rescued straight from Spring St in Chatswood (Sydney, Australia), with a hole in the heart. She had been dumped at 9pm at night! We had no doubts about keeping her, which thrilled our vet, who said it would otherwise be hard to rehome her. We already had 2 cats so she settled in with our two twin brothers. Our new kitten developed very serious heart failure at 3 yrs but despite some emergency visits to the vet, she lived until she was 5 yrs old. She was a dear, sweet, and brave little cat.

[@pjk1714]

So nice to see a good outcome was provided. Proper weight and feeding helps with that condition. Ours lived 18.5 years despite worries.

[@SandmanDreams]

I love how Fergie preens Ellie. So sweet. These cuties are definitely a bonded pair. It would be heart breaking to adopt them out separately.

[@vanessalowery9659]

I just love happy endings. Yahoo for the kittens! And for the family that adopted them.

[@dorothywestcott2408]

That's amazing that their forever family took them both, Fergie🐈 and knowing that Ellie 🐈 might not live a full life but will be loved completely.❤️🐈🐈❤️

[@jessgreenwood262]

Cat's are very good at judging human's.

[@Mehm67]

So sad, so young and gone through so much, no animal should have to experience this, there are no excuses. Thankfully they ended up in loving hands and now have the lives they deserve and nothing makes me happier, and these are stories that needs to be told so thank you Scott 💓

[@rhianevans7189]

Shocking How can people do this to felines. Animal cruelty seems to be escalating. If there were medical problems hand them over to professionals. There is no excuse x

[@rosswaghorn2844]

This story makes me smile… well not at the beginning… but certainly the Teams caring for them and their new forever home parents really make my heart sing… a nice story on a great weather day here in Oz. Ross Brisbane Australia

[@crismorin5468]

So glad to hear that they have a good home.

[@gaylepowers3981]

I had unsubscribed to my vet programs because it had gotten too sad to watch. I'm so glad to see that you've gone to this format. Love your videos and thank you. 🤟Prayers, God bless you all 🤟

[@yc9257]

The safety of a home may help Ellie to live a long happy life

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

These cats are just so loveable really so cruel to just leave them people who do this should be punished in the highest degree thank all the folk who care for these animals

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

I can never understand how people can be so cruel because it's better to take them to the nearest SPCA if one is unable to keep a pet

[@karlatorres9938]

Thanks for adopting them ❤❤😻😻

[@cindyrissal3628]

I had a cat w/ a heart murmur. It never developed into anything at all. Im so glad youre keeping them together. I have a pair of siblings, too, & their relationship is so cool! Ive never been sorry to have two...

[@user-tl5cz5fw3i]

Poor Ellis two little darlings bless them

[@susanharris6959]

So happy to hear they found a home together!❤

[@sdmsdm7926]

Ellie has sad and worried looking eyes, poor cats only God knows what they've been through. Shame on the people who left them behind, all I have to say is that what goes around comes around....you'll get yours at some point, you'll see when you put out that bad Karma it will come back to you!

[@christinejones1721]

I wish I could have them!! I hope they get a loving home because they deserve it!

[@user-gh5gf7ow1j]

I have many fur babies. They are all spayed or neutered as I don't want them to get cancer of the reproductive organs. They are happy and healthy.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Don’t get me started on the costs of veterinary care. Nobody is willing to let a pet owner have anything done on credit, even if the poor animal is suffering because of an easily corrected condition. It’s either pay up or euthanasia, and it’s a damned shame that people who don’t have much to start with have to make such a painful decision.

[@susanrybak7192]

My son rescued/adopted a young cat is a similar situation. Their owner abandoned them in an apartment in our neighbourhood. When the landlord went to check the flat he let the cats out and my son rescued one of them. We never knew what happened to the other cat. My son had the cat for 17 years.

[@karenjohnson8945]

This is great news for Ellie & Fergie. I hope Ellie has a long life with her new family ❤❤

[@TeeJayDeluxe]

I have a rescue boy. He’s been rehomed twice, so when he came to me he had some issues and must have been very confused. Two years in his first home, which was abusive and then two more in another home where one of the household wanted rid of him. So he was four and I’ve now had him almost four years. It took him a long time to bond with me but now he’s my little shadow.

[@sunayakong8537]

I had a foster kitten who was left alone in a house. He has since been adopted but he had some socialization issues and just wanted to hide. I was mostly able to bring him out and able to socialize with my other fosters.

[@helenahandkart1857]

Beautiful outcome ! Hooray for caring people!

[@HououMinamino]

Poor kitties! I wish they could tell us their story. I couldn't imagine just abandoning a cat like that. People who dump animals at a shelter or vet office at least made an effort to ensure they would be cared for. Still not the best thing to do, but just leaving them behind? I don't understand why or how someone could do that. Unless the person died or had an immediate threat to their life and couldn't take the cats in that moment but intended to come back, I could understand. I am so glad that they found their loving forever home! 💖

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

When the place I stayed in was sold and i had to give my cat up I cried all days and couldn't eat I loved my cat so much was grateful that my cat went to a loving home

[@szbyzan]

Ellie looks like my Lakota(rip).

[@DavidJohnson-rj8zu]

What a happy ending, Wonderful pets are Cats, had many in my lifetime all have been different in characters, but they have certainly enriched my life, I have said it before on social media, but I am going to say it again On the Ladder of Life in my opinion Cats are near the Top us Homo sapiens are barely on the Bottom Rung.🧐

[@jmr9735]

I've been thinking that, someday, hopefully a long, LONG time from now, once my kitties pass on, the next adoptions I'll make will be a bonded pair. I'm so glad these two went together. I hope Ellie has a nice life ahead of her. Sadly, one of my kitties had a severe heart murmur. We were watching it. I took him to a specialist at Michigan State where they did all the special tests. I was supposed to take him back in the summer of 2020, but you know... Anyway, I came home one day and found he had passed while I was at the store. He was acting so completely normally before I left - playing, eating, using his box, and begging for me to carry him around. I was so upset when I thought about how I wasn't with him in the end, but now I think it was a blessing in disguise. These situations usually take kitties very quickly, and so there's nothing I would've been able to do...which, imo, would've been more traumatizing for me. I hope sweet Ellie will be able to continue to get the special care she needs in the time she has left. These babies deserve the world.

[@user-qm9ho9lm9e]

I would love the pair - I adore my felines!

Dont throw away animals because there sick 😡 my poppy had kidney thyroid issues i always made sure she got her medicines etc she came first before my needs as she my furbaby shd passed away last year st the age of 20 years.

[@kinglinus3708]

Rescues wont help. I mean i asked about eye surgery. This is in usa though. I mean who can afford 3000 dollar eye surgery on cat especially adopted from shelter. I would not abandon animal but who can afford special needs cat. I mean insurance dont cover that prior existing condition. I think should have help from a vet for free

[@kinglinus3708]

I did ask for help from rescue they wont do anything
