Kittens Abandoned Under Oil Painting

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Mink and Badger were born under an oil painting and left behind by their mother, who was a community cat. This video shows the hard reality of kitten rescue and why it is so important to prevent suffering. Please spay and neuter your cats, and get active for Trap-Neuter-Return for the cats in your community. Do it for the little ones. Do it for Mink.

    Hey, what's the best way to get into TNR? Are there traps you can buy yourself to do it or do you need to find a local organization?

    Usually a local shelter or rescue organization will be the best place to start, as they already have programs in place which will make things easier.

    I'd recommend hopping on google and seeing if anyone in your area already has a TNR program you can participate in. If they don't, you can still do it -- you just need to get traps and find a vet who will help. If you scroll to the end of the video, I put up two videos on the end screen that will help you learn more.

    You can purchase traps; I purchased mine at “tractor supply” for about $30. Most areas have low or no cost spay clinics for community cats; check with the local city run shelter and they should be able to point you in the right direction :)

    there are plenty of animals to whom we do not extend love, empathy, and compassion thou. Many of whom need/deserve it much more, both in terms of how desperate they need help, and in terms of their importance to the environment. Caring for animals can be admirable, and there's nothing wrong with working with certain animals because of passion. However cats are not a native species in NA nor are they endangered or even threatened in any way. We let many native species die and fail/are failing to save many more from extinction, yet we spend a disproportional amount of resources rescuing cats. Cat rescue is all about cuteness. That's ok, but please don't lie to yourselves.

She was considering putting her on contraception pills and commented how lucky I was to have a son. Baffled I asked her how she came to that conclusion??? She replied that, basically the son doesn't have any obligations!! I have found some people seem to have the same reasoning with animals. Humans never cease to amaze or anger me.

    I found this video, as I was sitting here, crying over my little Reggie. Reggie was found in a yard, with his placenta still attached, and no momma in site. I took him on, to do whatever I could to save him. At 80 grams, I knew it was just about hopeless. I trudged on, feeding, grooming, warming and mostly praying. We made it together for three days, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Reggie passed, in my home, warm and loved. He is now resting underneath my lilac, where he will be remembered, and will always hold a special place in my heart. I will continue to rescue and foster, in Reggies memory. Maybe next time, I will have a victory. Godspeed Reggie.

    Maybe you can contact a local TNR group. Have them help the cats in the neighborhood where your baby was found. Preventing any other kittens from suffering that fate would be a great way to honor his life. I'm sorry for your loss. You are right that at least he was with someone that cared and did their best for him. That would be a more peaceful passing than cold and alone on the street. Thank you for being there for him.

I wanted him to live a great life and see the world but that was not possible. I found it abandoned in a parking lot with his siblings out in the cold. They all were 2-3 weeks but he looked about one week old 💔 I too, fed it, made sure he was warm and taken care of, most importantly I gave it my entire love.

    I think cats get looked-over a lot. If a dog is running around outside, people are a lot more likely to think that the dog needs to be caught, taken care of, spayed or neutered...but with cats, a lot of people think that they're outside animals anyways and don't need to be taken care of. It's unfortunate :/

    @@snug_as_a_bug its not the same. Dogs and small children are typically supervised. Older children are expected to have the intellectual capacity to make rational decisions, and parents can get in trouble for neglectful behavior if they get hurt. Dogs might be let out in protected, enclosed areas, but outside of that they are expected to have leashes. If they escape, they are tracked down with fervor and caught. This is not so with cats which are often left unsupervised, not relegated to an enclosed area and allowed to get hurt or that are allowed to hurt other things. They don't have the capacity to consider if what they're doing is right or wrong and dont make the best judgements of what is safe. A counter would be "do you allow your children to play in potentially dangerous places unsupervised?"Appeals to things like freedom should only hold so much weight when there are other factors.

    I rescued a Magpie with a broken wing. We found him at the start of school and every break we ran down to the same spot and checked on him. At the end of the day, I literally ran to the same place to rescue him. By the time my mum got back, she was ready to call the police and call me in missing. As I turned the corner, she was frantic. I told her about the poor thing and we took him to the vet, who told us it was a fracture. They took him off of us and told us they’d do everything in their power to help him. He was probably put down side broken wings are a bad sign and difficult to recover from, but I could swear I see a magpie that looks just like him flying around near me.

    There actually are cases that first time moms will not recognize their kittens and are scared, that happened to my relative whose cat gave birth to a litter of 5. My relative and her boyfriend had to hand feed two of the kittens at first because the mom was so in shock and didn't know what she was doing, she had dragged the kittens around by their umbilical cords and may have killed them. After the 3rd kitten though she calmed down and her maternal instincts kicked in luckily and she was a great mom to them.

The youtube algorithm doesn't actually think of it as "likes = good video, dislikes = bad video", it just looks at it as "engagement = spread video". That's why you shouldn't dislike, for example, dangerous "life hack" videos, because a million people disliking it is exactly the same to the algorithm as a million people liking it - you should just not interact with them at all. So don't worry, it doesn't hurt the channel at all and actually helps the video spread just the same as liking it.

    A landscaper made a post on facebook needing someone to foster four baby kittens, he explained that the homeowner hated cats and instructed him to "get rid of them" he could not wait for the momma to return. My wife and I took up the challenge and we are at day 3 now. Your videos have been such a help! I was so worried they wouldn't survive the first night I didn't sleep. They were not eating and I found out it was cause we weren't stimulating them. I watched your video about that and I think it saved their lives. They are eating alot (and pooping alot too) now. They are very vocal and pur quite a bit. I couldn't bring myself to name them for fear of them dying but now I feel much safer. I will definitely be naming them something mink related. Rest in piece you little angel.

    One of my cats had a premature litter, and abandoned them. My mom said that she had never seen newborns as small as them, and she has seen many newborns. They were so small, they weren't even the size of my palm. I stayed with the litter, we didn't have an incubator, so I held them close to my body. I stayed up all night taking care of them, but they didn't make it. It was so heartbreaking as they died one by one, despite my best efforts. This is the side of animal rescue that most people don't realize, it's very emotionally taxing, and you need to be able to cope with the stress that comes with it. Watching this made me cry. I'm hoping to get more involved in animal rescue in the future even though I have been scarred by my experiences so far. It's a passion of mine to help sick and injured animals.

    In my experience, if a cat births just 1 (or in this case 2) small kitten & then just walks away from it, it’s because she’s pregnant with too many kittens to carry to full term safely. A cat of mine gave birth to 1 premature kitten on the sidewalk outside our house & walked away. She remained pregnant & gave birth to a large litter 2 weeks later. At that time I’d managed to keep Fergus alive, so I rubbed the blood & muck from her birthing nest all over him & waited to see what would happen. She washed him like all the others & he even latched on to her nipple to feed! I was only 13 & I thought my job was done & he’d be fine. Unfortunately he died several days later from malnutrition because I didn’t notice she wasn’t feeding him anymore until it was too late... I LOVED that kitten & I want to cry just telling the story. It isn’t the only time I’ve seen a cat do it but if that’s what happened this time, it IS the first time I’ve seen a cat “selectively abort” 2 kittens. Edit: I’ll have to donate to something because my own poor health won’t allow me to TNR or volunteer & my cat’s health won’t allow me to foster

(At LEAST 3) One of the females, had five kittens in my closet. I lost one - and it was devastating!!! (DEVASTATING!!!!) since then, I have found the four survivors homes, through a foster, and I have homed seven additional kittens I have trapped out here. I could not have done one day of any of this, without your videos! You have guided me through this journey, and I am so grateful for you!

    There's a lady where I lived that would take and hide the cages that people put out to catch the feral cats. She said it was not right to catch and spay/neuter the cats. It was horrible. I rescued one of the little guys. He lived for almost a year but had some birth defects. He had the best year possible. All animals should be spayed and neutered. I have now rescued 3 kittens and 3 pups. I will continue doing what I can with the available resources I have. It's not munch but a $2 bag of animal food is better that watching one starve.

    I had to round up a feral colony that a hoarder had abandoned none were fixed and community had been feeding these hundreds of cats a bag a day poured onto the ground. The property owner threatened to shoot every cat if they weren't removed. Me and many wonderful people took all the cats in and I have a wonderful kitty Charlie Alpha Tango, he's one of my soulmates and he is a wonderful emotional support animal now. We found so many dead kittens all over the property, newborns under everything that didn't make it. It's sad and hard but now those hundreds of cats have forever homes and lives and they're all fixed and happy.

We used to joke about her maybe not being able to get pregnant and that we had been lucky for six years. This video made me regret that joke so much. I’m so grateful that she chose to have her babies in our house and is a good mama. I’m so sad that we lost one of the babies who was born with a defect that MAY have been prevented had we known. Mama and kittens are getting fixed as soon as they are able.

    On 8/3/1998, a neighbors cat gave birth under another neighbors house. I saw Chynna (the mom) when I got home from work around 3 A.M. and she was clearly pregnant. When I left the house to return to work that same day at 4 P.M., Chynna had clearly had the babies. When the kittens, wherever they were, waa 6 days old, the other neighbor called me. Please come over, there is a problem. I rounded the corner of their home and I heard the distinct sounds of newborn kittens! One look at the calico & I instantly knew they were Chynna's babies. The other kitten was a black & white tuxedo. I told Danny to put them back where he found them. That they were Chynna's and she was probably getting food. I had had that day off from work and was going to get some mulch at Wal-Mart to do gardening. As I drove out of the subdivision, I looked to the left to make sure no one was coming and my heart sank...a calico colored body was in the road!! I drove over to the body and saw it was Chynna!! So instead of mulch, I got bottles, Kitten Formula, goats milk, & baby shampoo. I returned and went back to where the babies were. I had to give them both baths as they were covered in fleas & sand. Once they were dried, I mixed bottles and both of them ate. Since they needed feeding, and besides when they ate, slept, I took them into work with me. Everyone took turns feeding. I had a (neutered) male Rag Doll cat named Benji who became a surrogate to them. I fed them and he did the rest. By the time they were 12 weeks, I had them spayed and shots started. The tuxedo was Samantha & the calico was Isabella!! They became part of the family!! Sadly, on 12/30/2010, Samantha suffered a major heart attack while playing with her Christmas toys. Isabella just turned 20 YEARS old in August!! She cannot jump up on things like she used to, but the sofa is always her favorite spot!! We are shooting for birthday 21 and then 22!! She is so sweet!!

    Thank you so much for this and what you do, I really needed this. I recently rescued a kitten who was alone, malnourished and covered in fleas. He was not doing too good, I did my best to bathe him properly to get rid of the fleas. At the hospital he was super anemic from all the fleas but he fought so hard to live - always so feisty whenever he perked up every now and then. So tiny yet so mighty. He passed away in my arms just an hour ago. It’s devastating. I was rooting for him all the way to make it, he was only 3 weeks old. I think I’ll use this experience to help out more in my local shelters. Thank you for the advice on how to handle this type of grief. It’s not easy what you do but I commend you and the others as well who do this for a living. Thank you ❤️

    My daughter has started fostering and rescuing cats and kittens. 2 weeks ago she got a call and took in 3 newborns that were found in the country in the brush, no sign if the mother, after birth hadn't been cleaned off, and one had crippled back legs. They were less than 13 hours old. My daughter's momma cat had her litter about 2-3 weeks ago and she took on the orphan kitties. So she had 5 of her own and adopted the 3 that were abandoned, dirty, sticky, and starving. It's a blessing to have such a wonderful and caring daughter with the most beautiful heart. She is a natural with cats. She has hsd them for a couple if weeks now and they are all still alive, even the tiny runt she named Nestle' Thank you for all the videos you make. They have helped me so much. I still have a ways to go, but I am going to help her any way I can. I have a nursing background so that has been helpful.

Tomorrow she's going with a mum cat that's just given birth, hopefully she'll accept baba and this little sweetheart will pull through. It's so hard when they are so tiny and only drink a drop...

    No matter how cute a kitten really is, their lives can still be so precious. I feel so sad for those kittens to be born under an oil painting in the freezing cold and being abandoned by their mum.

    I've done my best taking in 3 damaged adult cats, especially because I'm very low income. You bring tears to my eyes. I live in Canada, and this is not the climate for cats, I've seen so many freezing. God bless you. When people take pets they need to spay and neuter, and make a 20 year commitment.

    That's cause they shouldn't be outside in the first place. People are still very ignorant.

    My heart goes out to you - I'm so sorry for the loss of Mink. You message and plea to do better is one more move for me to become a foster. Since covid I haven't been able to serve as a kitty socializer and care giver at my humane society because my health issues make me too high risk. But I've been using this time to learn more and cement my resolve. Thank you for all the lives you touch! 😺🐾💞👣 every single kitty that passes through your hands fits in your heart -how full of space you truly are!!!😇
