Watch this terrified, angry feral cat find his best friend and completely transform

[@bdavis4099]

Isn't it wonderful when a cat realizes he is loved?

[@mr.laquintana2892]

That can be said for any animal or human... it's easy to be mean, but we all need to be KIND

[@SpringNotes]

This woman has so much understanding and patience !

[@awaisraza20612]

Right

[@cocoshi2306]

Such dedication & compassion ❤

[@jeffstevens4262]

God bless her. The work she does with and for those darling moggies is truly wonderful. ❤

[@PredictedCyborg]

There are some things that only another cat can give a scared rescue. Good to see these two found each other.

[@ItsJustLisa]

Their perfect family is out there and whoever is lucky enough to get these boys will be very fortunate.

[@heidibee501]

They look so incredibly happy together. Definitely a rescue success story.

[@strumminronin]

Thank you for your patience with Grey, and more so for the brainwave to find him a kitty friend. They look great. Best wishes for a loving home for the bonded cats.

[@AmberU]

Grey is absolutely beautiful!

[@1LotusBorn1]

I hope they adopt those guys together! They are bonded now and will greatly benefit from staying together 💜

[@WH2012]

She made it clear that they will TOGETHER to the right home. ;0)

Amazing transformation! It’s heartwarming to see how love and patience can change a life. 😻

[@DianaSchreier]

What a wonderful person you are to help and prove to this poor scared cat that there is love in this world. Bless you, Diana

[@Beth-zg6gb]

There isn’t an animal that can’t be saved given enough patience, resources, and understanding of what they need. Love is powerful medicine. 💕

[@indigocheetah4172]

Thank you for saving two scared kitties. You're an Angel.

[@elizabethannegrey6285]

Five gold stars to this lady and her resident kitty.

[@joeyjosephs]

They would be foster fails. They are so gorgeous and adorable. I couldn’t give them up.

[@RichFrye]

I have a bonded pair of feral brothers.... came to me wild as racoons to foster.... I failed, ten years later I'm looking at them now as I type, they are tame but fat as racoons.... one is grey/ white like this guy, the other is blue

[@bunjijumper5345]

This woman is an ANGEL.

[@blackteavibes5932]

This was such a sweet story! 🥹🤍🤍🤍

[@MM-yi9zn]

This made my day. Such a wonderful transformation. Bravo to this awesome kind lady who saved these gorgeous cats.

[@barbaraprice2550]

You are a special person to be so patient and stay with this difficult cat. Your care made him open up to new possibilities.

[@KishorTwist]

I’m glad they found this lady and each other!

[@dolleyes5062]

Amazing story and an amazing transformation! All Grey needed was kindness, patience and love, first from his foster Mom and then from Philly. Grey and Philly MUST be adopted together! 😇😇😇🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🤪💗🏠

[@joseenoel8093]

You're a goodess, oh an ear infection is painful, love from Montreal and thank you very much! 😊

[@amichaels1871]

He was probably in pain Thank You for helping him! ❤🌠

[@pamelad.plyler6268]

Thank you for taking the time and patience to help this sweet baby

[@stephanielane1821]

What a lovely story, how much we need to treat our furry companions with kindness

[@rebeccalyons6557]

I’ve had 4 feral cats. With a little time and patience they all have become sweet, gentle fur babies. One lived to 17 and the other to 19. The other two are currently 3 years old. 😻

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

What a great pair of cats, and of course they shouldn't be separated. I adopted an older pair of cats like that too. They were too bonded to separate, so they were adopted out together. Squeaky and Dez were so cute together. The slept together constantly and also groomed each other. Dez was a chunky calico, and Squeaky a slim and very anxious long hair black cat. Squeaky just worshiped the ground that Dez walked on, but was nervous around people. It was hilarious to see the way they acted. Nothing phased Dez, she was so sedate, and then their was Squeaky's adorable neuroticism. Sqeaky would squawk for attention, but when you reached for her, she'd cower in fear or run half the time. It used to make Ron laugh so hard. She would come and lay on us on her own terms. i guess we were safer if we were laying down or something. I can't describe the hero worship she had for Dez though. She just looked at Dez w/ utter adoration and Dez was her ultimate happy place.

[@sunilayya8948]

Thank you angels ❤❤❤

[@tammyjohnson8150]

I’m so happy to see someone as kind and patient as you with an obviously frightened little creature. Some people are just insistent that the cat has to immediately warm up to them. And if they are frightened and hiss and puff up their fur, they think the cat is aggressive and a mean cat. They don’t think that ALL living creatures need a little time to feel comfortable with their new surroundings. Like people, we all come to every “relationship” with a history. Good and bad. Cats, Dogs, Horses etc! We all need “someone” we can bond with. And you were so wonderful using the stick to gently touch Grey and talk tenderly with him. Letting him find his own way. And discovering his new friend was such a blessing for both of them. It’s just beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful 😻

[@Michelle__604]

Brilliant! Thanks for not giving up...unbelievable difference. Its so hard to see an animal distrust humans so much...they just want love like the rest of us!! 😊

[@marcturner3647]

Wow you stuck with him and that makes a whole lot of difference many people wouldn’t I’m so proud that you did and the other little kitty got a soul mate, believe me you did a great job 👏

[@TobileyP]

I worked with a cat like that for 18 months. He had been surrendered because his elderly owner had to go into assisted living. He was so traumatized by the whole surrender. He was so aggressive he bit a volunteer who needed stitches. No one could even remove food from his cage or change his litter box. I sat outside his cage for months on end, not looking at him and just talking out loud. It was such slow progress, but eventually he came out of the cage, although he ran back in as soon as I looked at him. It got to the point, finally, where he jumped on my lap and allowed me to pet him. Eventually, he was adopted into a really good home.

[@indisishir]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Pedro.dh10]

You and the boys are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many. Thank you for this heartwarming story and for what you do!

[@MN-hv5xv]

This was an incredibly sweet story! Those two have a bond and I hope they can be adopted together! I would love to have them both!!😊❤

[@angelwings7930]

It took me 2 months once to get through to an abandoned cat who felt so unsure and betrayed by people. I did it by feeding them and then leaving them alone, no pressure, but I spent as much time as possible out in the yard so they could observe me and it helped a lot. The kitty “came with” a house I rented. She stayed in yard, front and back but mainly in the back, fenced yard. After she accepted me I got her into a good cat rescue. ❤

[@vortexgen1]

As long as the 2 buddies get adopted out together, everything will be alright.

[@norasmith8699]

Such a heartwarming story ❤ All of my cats have been former colony cats who accepted other felines before humans. My resident cats play a big role in socializing newcomers. It's a lot of work initially, but pays off in the long run.

[@ernesttarver2533]

Every feral cat can be saved. It just takes time and patience. All will eventually come around

[@christinechopart1459]

Thank you for what you do🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sasajezdimirovic7862]

Bravo, magnificent job 🤗

[@helenahandkart1857]

Beautiful work, this lady❤

[@zentierra7803]

Oh, I loved this so much! I've had a couple of fosters like Grey...and it was definitely a slow, steady process to gain trust. Incidentally, _both_ of those challenging fosters *also* ended up flourishing when they met what turned out to be their "kitty soul mates"...and it was among my top most wonderful things to watch. Of course, when it came time to find their (always fervently hoped-for) forever homes, they were adopted out as bonded pairs. _ps: May light and joy be with you and yours always. Thank you for what you do. Fostering is hard, but also incredibly fulfilling._ 💖

[@oligarchy-usa]

♥ Awesome work that you do helping these cats.

[@chrisberry9017]

Love conquers all.

[@vienicestyles]

Animals are like babies. Babies can’t speak just like animals can’t. Yet, you don’t see parents throwing babies out in the street when they’re hurt, sick or having a bad day. Fur kids deserve patience and care too. 🥺🥲

This woman has the patience of a monument..... godbless her ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jeffstevens4262]

Oh my God, that video was so damned beautiful.

[@julietroberts1385]

Wow!! Beautiful ❤

[@patrickobrien8851]

Brilliantly well done, on all fronts. Yes, it is true, "some cats will be saved, and some not", because there are lots of feral cats out there and resources are limited, and we have to be practical about what can be done and what, reasonably speaking, cannot. You persevered and were inspired to introduce Philly Pokey (great name, btw), and you also understand that both Grey and Philly Pokey will be adopted as a pair, which makes complete sense. I'm humbled by your experience, your compassion, and your level-headed assessments of what can be reasonably be done in cases like these. Keep up the great work!

[@renee8543]

Philly Pokey was winking at the camera, was like "thanks for the friend, I love you guys." Seeing them both smiling and doing that head tilt was so nice.

[@michellez4254]

So cool their transformation.

[@ScottLane-ud9tj]

Wonderful story. Yes, even the most wild cat can become a nice pet. I have adopted many stray cats and once they are spayed or neutered, and given love they will become wonderful pets.

[@cornelia9778]

Lovely story. Tks

[@Thor-Orion]

3:35 this was a really good learning experience for the rescuer. Just about all domesticated animals are social, it often helps them to interact with others of their own species.

[@awaisraza20612]

I wish they would show their new home

[@raysoucie489]

Thank you

[@jenniferpalmer2337]

[@Sirala6]

The home cat told the newby the news; no more prowling the streets eating garbage, and a warm blanket to sleep. Then newby realized it was cool.

[@LindaR423]

How sweet.

[@tammyb885]

Thank goodness they found you! They are so precious together. I want the laws to change so that people get fined and put in jail for letting their cats run outside unattended. There should never be this many feral cats running about. It’s sickening.

[@brucek66]

OMG there's another cat here - freeze frame at 115 - perfect timing with the audio narration. Feral cat turns and literally says, OMG, there's another cat here! I do read lips, EPIC

[@elliestewart7770]

Poor dear, that head tilt while he's hissing is classic ear pain.

[@BryanD007]

Awesome 👏

[@MikeUIibarri]

The louder the sass, the more absorbent the Sponge!

[@kerryedavis]

Things like ear infection can be very painful, and that's why they're aggressive.

[@THEvagabond29]

We have a grumpy cat that hissed and growled at everything... except her kitten brother. We had to keep them together, but he died of a kidney disease... its taken her a while to warm up to the new addition we adopted from the shelter, but its definitely not the same bouncing off the walls playing at all hours of the day relationship anymore.

[@doreen5582]

❤ Blessings

[@scottyanak5579]

Lease keep them together no matter what

[@gabrielanjos8877]

I lived in Kuwait for almost two years... Never saw a place with so many stray cats! Normally they are very friendly... I rescued two cats in that time. One went to my home in Portugal and the other went to a friend's home in India. You did a great action! Normally they won't survive more than 4-5 years in the streets. Its a very hard environment where temperatures can rise to 55°C in summer.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Like anything he just needed some 💖

[@bkrider19]

That look at 4:11, too cute

[@TheSouthIsHot]

Bop told Grey that Jen was one of them and she could be trusted and Grey was flabbergasted. And then Bop told Grey that he should make friends with Philly Pokey because they seemed perfect for each other. So that's what Grey did after Jen introduced him to Philly Pokey. And now Grey snuggles with Philly Pokey and Jen, too, because now Grey knows that Jen's OK after all.

[@meredithheath5272]

If those two kitties are not "adoption fails" I hope they can be rehomed together in their forever homes...

[@sidd_not_vicious2609]

we all seem to yearn for love and understanding. glad this little one was able to find a friend when he so desperately needed one

[@lauralomonaco5847]

❤❤❤

[@terryedwards171]

Yes, I am in your house eating your food but don't touch me! I had a cat like that; couldn't give her away for the world.

[@marymenatti9175]

This was my experience. Dolly was feral. Muffin was a house cat. I didn’t try to pet Dolly but she saw Muffin getting petted and soon I found her sleeping at my feet. She lived twenty years more and she was the most gentle cat I ever knew (unless you were a mouse, of course)

[@chart3biz747]

Governor Noem: sweats aggressively 😓

[@dadgarage7966]

It's like Pokey was Grey's interpreter.

[@robinc7235]

They're so precious but I REALLY wish those sweet boys didn't have to go through another traumatic experience with moving into yet another home. They don't understand that they're in foster care and they have given their hearts to their current caretaker. While I understand being able to "foster fail" isn't possible all the time, in this case there is no way I could let them go, they would be MINE. And that is why I can no longer foster cats. 😄
