This PHILIPPINES City is SAVING Cats!! 🇵🇭
Today's video is all about the Cats of BGC. If you didn't know, there are organizations helping the cats of Metro Manila, especially in areas of the CBDs.
Today, I want to take you around BGC (Bonifacio Global City) to see how many cats actually live in this area. We won't find every cat, but we'll try to see as many as possible in just a couple hours.
If you'd like to learn more about the cats living in BGC, I recommend checking out the organization I mentioned in the video. Please remember to give the cats space, and try to avoid petting them as much as possible.
If you found the video helpful or fun in any way, please give it a LIKE and COMMENT your thoughts. Consider SUBSCRIBING as there is more to come, so i'll catch you in the next one!

We Filipinos believe cats brings goodluck specially in business. That's why BGC ang Makati are prosperous areas.

As a cat (and generally, animal and nature) lover, this is why I love BGC. They are very nature-friendly and animal-friendly. And BGC really started out that way. It's the first commercial space in the Philippines that I know of that allows pets and even strays. More power to you, BGC. Good karma abounds for people who embrace nature! P.S. I missssssssss TGI Fridays!!! 🙁

Yes, I am glad I could provide some up close details of them. It's amazing to see how the majority of them are clean and healthy. 🇵🇭❤
Those with ears clipped or tipped means they were neutered or spayed already. There are a few cat groups around Metro Manila taking care of stray and feral cats around their areas. Most Filipino homes have cats too. Those cat groups are helping spread awareness that spay and neuter is the way to go to help the cat population.

That is correct! And there, it's different. There is no restriction to pet the cats or feed them yourself.
Thank you for this videos of these cats. I grew up in Philippines and we rescued cats and ending up in 21 of them, that was in 80s we fed them rice mix with sardines in a can during those times no Spayed or Neutered that we know of. Now we're still doing it here in US, I have previous cats passed away at old age and all of 3 of them rescued, one adopted from our friends and a TNR. Now we have 2 male young black cats. They need our help, and if you can't don't hurt them. BGC THANK YOU AND TO ALL WHO HELPS FERAL CATS.

The AYALAS 💕🐱🌳allowed them in the parks and the volunteers feeds and monitored them. As far as i know they are neutered/castrated if you notice their tip ear with notch. You can found them also in Ayala Triangle Garden, Greenbelt Park,Circuit Mall,Trinoma Mall in Q.C. and all Ayala Malls. The one you liked most is the TORTOISE color pattern. I wonder maybe the kittens was just dump the sad part. It is the duty of the security guard to watched those who dump kitten in the vicinity. There is a law in the Phils.about animal cruelty and abandonment but not strickly emplemented. I wonder if you have a cat your own way home You have a soft spot on theme. Im a cat lover/rescuer here. 🐱💕

Not everyone likes cats, especially when you see them in cheap places to eat. Some people are highly allergic to cats. They also pee everywhere and treat treat rock gardens like a giant liter box. People who claim to love can sometimes be so flashy about their compassion. One time in Siargao, a white guy Proudly exhibits his love for cats by giving water to a stray cat using the Iconic salad bowls of a Health bar. The bowl is made of coconut shell and it puts in the ground for the stray cat to drink. What a virtuous lad. I had to cancel my vegan salad and order a hamburger. Dont want rabies on a bowl.

Wow, thank you, sir, for capturing the cats in BGC, so beautiful cats. They are so lucky to be well-fed and cared for. Thank you, BGC, for taking care of them. They are much luckier than the cats and dogs in our area, who are completely abandoned, It's so sad to see others in such bad condition on the street, hungry and in need. Whenever I see cats outside, I try to feed them to help alleviate their suffering.

I'm a cat owner. The good thing they do is control the mice population anywhere. Unlike in New York, rats dominate and a big threat to humans. Let's protect our feline friends. This is a good topic you've covered in order to create positive awareness towards these lovable animals at BGC and other cities.

its better to have cats in that area than a rat running around the resto. and cats prevent also the rat from spreading because theres so many resto out there.
