Conociendo las HISTORIAS DE SUPERACIÓN de GATOS 😺 y PERROS 🐶 adoptados o rescatados | IV Aniversario

Hi, I'm Carlos. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Today is exactly one year since this channel started, because in our 100th video, we're also celebrating two years on the channel. We've been on the channel for three years, and today is the special fourth anniversary of Happy Pets and Families.

Hi, I'm Carlos and I'm a veterinarian. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. One year older. Today we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Well, we had an idea of how we could make this video a little more special. To do this, we asked you to tell us the story of your animal companions and how they came into your life, how you adopted them, what their story of overcoming difficulties was that way. We also wanted to raise a little more awareness so that everyone would be aware that there are some animals that need a second chance and that they are in shelters. And many times, because we don't see them in person, we don't think about them. So during the video, we're also going to include the contact details of the shelters of those who have told us, and also the cities. So that if you are near one of these shelters and want to adopt a new animal companion, you know that you can count on them and thus be able to give a home to an animal that needs it so much. Because we will never tire of saying, not even on our fourth anniversary, that Happy Pets and Families supports the responsible adoption of animals. Well, I won't go on any longer because we asked you for the videos on social media and we have received a ton of videos. So let's get to them. Here I have my computer. Hey, I haven't seen anything. Okay. Jose has collected the videos here and prepared them. So this will be the first time I've seen the videos and reacted to them. Hello. Let me introduce you to Coco.

Hello, Coco. Last year I decided that I wanted to fulfill my dream of having a kitten. And in September I adopted this cute kitten. The thing is, when he arrived, he was quite sick. What's more, he spent five months sick, weighing almost one kilo less than he does now and barely moving. He had a lot of mucus. And we needed many, many, many visits to the vet. Up to three visits a week to give him new medicine or new Arabics, everything. Thank God, after five months, he finally recovered. And now this grandfather. Because this little guy is 18 years old, he is as healthy as a daisy, and I am happy to be his mommy.

Oh, I love it. I love it. Really. Because you wanted to fulfill Your dream of living with a cat and you decided to live with a cat. Moreover, in the best possible way. Giving a chance to a cat that probably would not have found another home. Uh, an 18 year old cat. Many times they are not adopted when they are more than 10 and the poor things are left waiting in shelters. He has gained one kilogram. My goodness. I mean, an 18 year old cat that we also see and is wonderful. I really loved your story. Congratulations on adopting him and wanting to live with him and share his life with you for as long as he has left.

Hi, I'm Anna and he's Kirby. Well, I adopted Kirby three or four months ago and he's a year and a half old. Oh. He was previously owned by a family that adopted him during the pandemic. But when they started working, they couldn't take care of him anymore. So I adopted him. I'm still in touch with the family. I send them photos. He's a very good kiddie and I've learned a lot from your channel about how to be.

His human and take good care of him. Thank you very much for everything. You're a fantastic channel.

Thank you very much and good luck. How cute. Kirby. Well, I think it's great that you've decided to help him too. If the other family couldn't have him because they couldn't dedicate time to him, surely with you they have everything they need. I'm glad the channel has also helped you understand each other a little better.

Hi everyone. This is Lucifer. She's four months old.

How tiny.

And I'll tell you that she came to me because when I was looking for a kitten, my coworker told me that her neighbor has an old cat that she never spayed.

Oh.

My goodness. And that every time her cat has kittens, she ends up throwing them away, abandoning them. So this co worker took Lucy and brought her to me. When she arrived, she was in a pretty bad state of health. She was overnourished. She had distemper and conjunctivitis. But now she's beautiful. She weighs 1,600 today. We gave her her vaccines.

How great.

And she's doing great. Thank you very much. Greetings.

Well, thank you very much for telling us the story of Lucy. Of Lucifer. The truth is that I think what your coworker's neighbor was doing is really hard. Having the cat unspayed, constantly giving birth to kittens and then abandoning them. If she abandons those kittens when they're very young, it's very possible. That they won't survive, or that if they even survive and are not cared for, they are in the neighborhood and are bringing more cats into the world, aggravating the whole problem of feline overpopulation and abandonment. I am very happy that you have given Lucifer this opportunity to be with you in your home. But I have a thorn in my side that perhaps that other person should be helped in some way. Because the cat, in addition to being old Lucifer's mother, perhaps someone, or by doing a collection or in some way, you could contribute to spaying her. In that way, at least that person does not continue abandoning cats to the world. Because not all of them are going to be as lucky as Lucifer has been with you. I don't know. That is a bit of a reflection, and this happens a lot. Many times we do not know how to help, and the only way we can do it, since obviously that person loves their cat well, however they want it, and we cannot take it away from them, because that cannot be done. What we could do is help her contribute in some way to prevent a situation that is undesirable for everyone, which is kittens ending up abandoned on the streets. But anyway, I'm very happy to have learned about Luciferia's story and to have also given her a little voice in the video for her fourth birthday. Hello, Josefa. Ah. Oh, how little. How great. Oh, well, Josefu was already a bit smart. Very good. Well, in the end, I shut up. Very well done for sterilizing her. Oh. Oh, how little. Look, she lives with him. That's it. How brave. How handsome. How great. Oh, how great. Look, this story moves me. I like it a lot because you've done a very beautiful thing. In addition to being able to rescue new kittens that were already on the streets, that were born from a feral kitten, and to have given them a family because they were all adopted. On top of that, with the next litter, you also did the same and raised a very handsome cat who is bottle fed with a lot of effort. A lot of effort on his part, too. And also you did something that should be done, which is if you can capture the feral kitten, even if you're not going to take her out of her environment, you can castrate her, and that way you'll prevent her from having litters over and over again. Well, it seems to me that that's the best way to act and that you've done the best thing in the world. You've helped prevent more cats from coming into the world who are going to live on the streets, in the best case scenario, living. Because many of them can't even survive.

Hello. This is our cat, Luca.

Hello. Hello, Luca. He's a lovely cat. He was adopted from Vale Colinos when he was four months old and he's already a big man.

A panther.

And this is our cat Leo, who was picked up from the street.

Hello, Leo.

Newborn. This is a little crazy guy. And Lucas is the calmest guy there is. You can see them.

You can see them.

They are the calmest and kindest people.

How kind they are. Although Leo sometimes gets into mischief. They are the best thing that could have happened to us in life. We wouldn't know what to do without them. I love them because, as you know, black cats, panther cats are my weakness. Living with two cats, if they also get along very well, they can have a bit of fun when you're not with them. I'm so glad you rescued them from the streets and gave them a home.

Hello, this is Abba. Hello, Abba. We found her in the mountains of Tenerife in Chonahiga in October 2008. She was a newborn with other puppies, so we think some hunter abandoned them to die. Because she sounds like a hunter. Abba is wonderful. She is a very pretty old lady in the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. Noble and calm like no one else. You can see her. Ah, greetings, Abba.

Ah, how pretty. Well, so you can see that cats aren't the only ones who end up as pets and happy families. Here we have Abba. Well, it's a story that unfortunately is the most repeated story in the world. Many people who have animals or who live with animals have them to do some kind of work or something like that. I mean, if it's a hunting area, it's very possible that they've abandoned them because they were useless. It really annoys me that there are people who call themselves animal rights activists because they live with animals, but then they're capable of doing this kind of thing. Thank you very much. Because the problem isn't just with cats. It also happens to dogs and many other animals that end up abandoned simply because they're no good for the purpose for which they were sought. In this case, it could be because they were no good for hunting. Let me introduce you to Tara. Hi, Tara. Tara was literally abandoned by her old family in our house. And now she's beautiful with lots of fur, but back then she was totally malnourished when they abandoned her there. Please. And talking to that person before he left her, it Turns out that he was vegan and decided to feed her only lentils. So she had an eye infection, a respiratory infection, weighed about 800 grams, had no hair and barely thought she was mute. But she really didn't have the strength to even talk. Poor thing. But hey, people sometimes think that their ideals have to be followed, even with animals. And that's not the case. An animal like cats. And they're carnivores. They're carnivores. It doesn't matter what your lifestyle is. So you have to feed them as they should be fed. Yes. Beautiful. So, right. Your story is so beautiful. Now, the truth is that it's also filled me with a few questions, hasn't it? As a person who is vegan, who is supposed to have a special sensitivity for nature, right? Also for the well being of animals. Because after all, that's why you become vegan, right? You don't want to eat animals because you don't want to cause them suffering. First of all, how can you abandon an animal? I don't know. I can't wrap my head around it. And then, well, what you're saying Taira was eating something that wasn't supposed to. She wasn't giving Taira the nutrients she needs. Everyone can have their own choices. But your cat in this case, who was malnourished, who weighed 800 grams, an adult cat, which is savage and who had no hair, that's animal abuse. I really don't understand how a person can go to that extreme with their cats. In any case, thank you very much for adopting your Atara, who we can see is perfectly fine.

This is Lady.

Hello, Lady.

Lady, y'.

All.

A street rescue. We greet her from Puerto Rico. Her face was injured, her paws were injured. Oh, I've had her with me for four years.

How nice.

But she's fierce. She tends to bite and scratch. Not me, but the others in the house. She doesn't want to see them at all.

Well, we greet you from Puerto Rico. Daniela has been taking these pictures of lady with her phone. And Betty, who is a big follower of our channel, is the one who tells us a little bit about Lady's story. Very good for having given her that opportunity. And I'm glad to know your story.

Hello, I'm Yuri. My mother lived with a human family and they were going to sterilize her, but the neighbor's cat got there first and had me and my little sister. I was able to stay with my mother until I was more than three months old. And then I came to Karen's house because she adopted me and I'm a Kiwi. My story is a little sadder. My mother left me in a man's yard with my five little brothers, and none of them survived, Only me. The man wanted to throw me out of the yard. And when Karen found out about this story, King, she brought me to her house to protect me. But what do you think? Right now, I'm staying with her and Yuri forever. They adopted me. Spay and adopt. Don't buy. Thank you.

Thank you so much for telling us the story of Yuri and Kiwi. The issue of Yuri's mother not being spayed. Well, that's what happens when we think everything is going well. Suddenly the mother gets pregnant, and in the end, an unwanted litter comes into the world. Well, that's where the problems and the issue of abandonment also begin. And you told me that. Well, not in the video. You told me in the email. You followed the steps for the presentation. Look, in the end, with a little patience, everything can be achieved. I spent two days asking for help during the lockdown. Trapped in the engine of a car. Oh my goodness. My human mother, Eli, rescued me and fed me and gave me a home. How little. My first toy was a face mask. It couldn't be any other way. Uh, I fell asleep every night. Eli. I learned to take care of myself thanks to Carlos videos. Thank you. Thanks to him, we learned to go out and explore and to put me in the carrier by myself. Wow. How great. Without fear. Look at him. He likes to scare, poor thing.

Dot. What a scare. How pretty.

Done. SOA from the human rescue team. Oh, how great. Well, it's true. In the end, when we rescue a cat from the street, we don't know if we rescued it or it rescued us. He didn't rescue Eli from feeling so alone during the confinement. And Eli understood that he had to take care of her since he had committed to her for the rest of his life. What a beautiful story. I really liked it.

Hello. This is Rolo. He's the oldest of my three cats. Rolo is a stray cat. They picked him up from the street and asked me to foster him for a day until he could enter a shelter. And well, he's been with me for four years now. Roli. Rolito. Look at us. Let's see the others. This is Basia. Basti is the only cat in the house. She's also a stray cat that a friend of a friend took in. It turned out she was allergic to cats. She came to live with us and has Been with us for two years now.

And little Lennon, little Len.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Let me see you. Hello.

And this is Lennon. Hello, Lennon. Len is the last one to come home. He's one year old. I found him on the street alone, without his mother. He weighed 400 grams and was full of fleas. And I brought him home. And here we live, the four of us.

Well, that's how a large family of cats is made. You take one in for a little while, it ends up staying with you. And, well, as we know, luckily all three of them are there together with you. And you're so happy with them too.

Hello, everyone. Hello. This is Ms. Fu, or Michila Fu, or Fat Fu, as I like to call her. See, she was rescued from the street. One day I went out to buy a drink and I saw her in the middle of the sidewalk. And she was tiny, very skinny. I didn't know if this thing was a mouse. She really was tiny, and she didn't have any hair on her little tail. So I decided to take her. At first, because of the malnutrition she had. She was totally skinny and disoriented and very weak. I had to feed her with a syringe. And she was so scared that she ran away from everyone and everything. This distance used to make it impossible to be with her and to show her affection. That's why I learned to be aware of myself. The things I did, my surroundings and the way she perceived it. I learned about love as she deserved it and as I had to do it. Now she's my inseparable chubby girl.

How pretty. How beautiful. I see a lot of people who rescue cats from the street. What a sad reality, right? That they are abandoned and so tiny, so hopeless. We have to bring them home. Because obviously a cat belongs in a house where it is loved. Have you had to change any habits? Yes, of course. But you have probably done so gladly, because everything she gives you far surpasses those small changes that you have had to make.

Hello.

Yes? Are you looking for a home? Are you hungrier? Are you hungry?

Oh. So you were looking for. Well, three months of intense learning to know how to take care of a cat. You have to learn a little bit. Not that much, right? How great. How right are you? In the end, it is what we say and what you say it is true. Human beings have to take care of animals as sentient beings that they are, and attend to all their needs. And we can't be so selfish as to live with an animal and only think about ourselves. Or think that living with an animal doesn't require some sacrifices, but that in the end, being with them seems like too little to us. Hi, I'm Lain. She's turning one. Oh, how pretty she is. How tiny. Oh my goodness. Look at her. How pretty. Oh, she lives with him. Oh, the stuffed animals with the little kittens and getting into all the little ones. That's very cat like. Perfectly hidden there. How pretty. Like a parrot. Feline contortionism. How pretty she is. Come on, look. I know that one. Thank you very much. Oh, how pretty. And with her favorite stuffed animal in the last photo. Well, well. She looks super happy with you. And I'm so glad she congratulated us. Right? Easy. Happy anniversary.

He's a tiger.

Hi, tiger. He's a baby kitten that we adopted when he was very little. How tiny.

He is very playful, mischievous and has a stuffed tiger. He likes to be on top of us, cuddled and on top of us. He also has a dog Brother Tigra is the life of this house, but he is a true Mexican tiger.

A Mexican tiger. I also love that families are mixed and that dogs live with cats. Because there's no word that they should not get along.

His name is Lucifer, but we affectionately call him Lucy. He was one of three kittens up for adoption. We had to give him medication for a few days because he was very sick, since he had been living on abandoned land. Then we introduced him to his sister Sabrina. At first it was complicated, but in less than 10 days they were together. He is now a year old, but. But he seems much smaller. He is perfect to cuddle with and give her lots of love.

Sabrina is a charming kitten with a very sweet personality. When she came into my life, she was small, almost the size of my cell phone. She was malnourished, her hair was falling out and she was very scared. After taking care of her, feeding her and giving her lots of love, she recovered. And now she's the eldest of two kittens. I plan to have many more kittens at home, but none like my beautiful little princess Sabrina. How wonderful that you wanted to adopt two cats. And also Lucifer, who came to your home, as you said, in very poor conditions. They get along very well with each other. And well, each one, as you told me, has their own personality. That way you can't get bored at any time of the day. And surely they can't either.

Today I want to tell you the story of my kitten, Mish.

Hello, Mish.

One day at my Mom's house. I heard a baby kitten screaming. In desperation, I looked out the window and saw him. He was in a box in the garden on the street, freezing cold. He couldn't have been more than three weeks old. I couldn't see his little eyes because they were full of dandruff and his mucous membrane was exposed. I treated him with McCullon and took him to the vet right away. He had several illnesses in addition to being anemic. I wanted to tell you this story because it's not easy to be out on the street. It's not easy to take care of your babies while people look on indifferently, spay or neuter your cats. It's not true that only females should be spayed. Males also reproduce and get lost and get infected and get sick and die. This story is the story of all the abandoned kittens we see on the street. Let's be responsible.

How right are you? We have to be responsible because as you yourself say, we not only females should be spayed, but also males to prevent unwanted litters. Thanks to you rescuing Micho, he surely has a much better future than being on the street because you found him in a box and, well, he's probably very happy by your side.

I'm a tricolor cat. My name is Luna. My godmother Dimilbava from the Paludito Heart foundation took me in when I was pregnant from a school where children and adults would hit me with sticks and stones and were going to poison me. I was adopted three times, but I was returned twice because I was rough and aggressive. And the other time my godmother took me in because I was neglected and not fed properly so that I would hunt mice. After seven months, I was adopted to be the companion of a black cat that was the same age as me, two years old. Thanks to videos about pets and happy families, I was well introduced to the cat and the pheromones in the environment helped to harmonize and calm my fears. Two weeks went by and the cat gave me everything. Its scratching, post, toys and bed. At first I hit the cat a lot, biting its face and ears. But now we just play. Every morning I wake up to my human mother licking and petting her softly with my little hands on her face. Now I am very happy living with Chano the cat.

Oh my goodness, how important the topic of introduction is and the topic of knowing how to better understand our feline companions. Luna is an example. She has been through many homes and all she needed was for someone to understand her and what she really needed. As you can see here, she is completely happy with another cat with whom she got along a little worse at first, but with whom they are now inseparable.

Hello, Akira. How are you? How nice. You are very happy. This is Akira. She is four months old. I adopted her from a vet in Mexico. Akira, look. Say hello.

Hello.

Tell her that you are a Mexican kitten with a Venezuelan owner. She behaves very well. She is a very curious kitten. She behaves very well and I am going to tell them that now. Goodbye, Akira. Say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Tell them that you love them very much. Bye.

Oh my goodness. With Aquarano and whoever gets bored, because you can also have a very lively conversation with her. In fact, I think what Akira has to say is more interesting than many humans.

Hello, Carlos. A big greeting from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Very happy. Congratulations on your fourth anniversary. Let me introduce you to our kitty. Her name is Mofi Margarita.

She.

She was adopted through the Amigos con Cola Foundation. She has been with us for two years now and we are very happy that she is part of our lives. We are always attentive, giving her a healthy life, taking her to her checkups and vaccinations. And well, as you can see in the images, they accompany us everywhere. Thank you for allowing us to share this video. I wish you success on your channel, luck and many blessings. Greetings.

Oh my goodness. Muffy. Margarita is quite the traveler. She goes with you everywhere. I don't know how you manage to keep her so calm outside the house. But in any case, if she doesn't get stressed, go ahead.

Good morning, afternoon or evening, depending on when and where. You are listening to me. I'm Emmanuel Deinobe and this is Life Stories once again telling you about my experiences and anecdotes. Today I'll be talking about Jiyo, an adorable gray kitten with cotton paws. During the lockdown, I went for a walk and got some fresh air. On my way back, I heard a tender meow. I turned around and there was Jiyo. A skinny, helpless gray kitten came up to me and I was instantly in love. You could tell he had been mistreated. However, he was pure tenderness. I went back for several days to feed him. It hurt to see him on the street and I started looking for a home for him. One afternoon a storm hit. I took him with me while I found him a home. And you know what? Since he arrived home, everything changed. His tenderness made us love him so much that now he's one of us. This was finally his home.

Why not give Him a chance. Now not only has his life changed, but also that of our family. Don't buy pets. Adopt one that's looking for love. This was life stories. How great. What a beautiful story. And it also happens to us with Jiyo, like other people who have told us the story during the video, that during the confinement, they needed someone to share their life with. And we also needed a companion to fill our lives too. And in the end, well, look, he comes for a few days and ends up staying forever. Hello, Carlos. Hello, Jose. Hello.

Hello.

Happy pets and family followers. Congratulations on your fourth anniversary. I'm Marga, the mother of Oredo and Simba. Baby Oredo and Simba. Well, let me tell you. Oreo was found in a plot of land with his siblings. A girl put an ad and well, I fell in love with Araito, who is here with us. Well, Simba arrived very soon after, also from a litter that strayed from his mother. He was walking around the street alone and a woman saw him, so tiny. She took him home and a colleague offered him to me who was looking for a home. Well, let's not upload it too. So it's a bit like how we adopted Oreo and Simba from people with good hearts who can't look the other way when they find puppies on the street. Thank you very much for letting us introduce ourselves. May everything go great. Thanks, friends. See you later, Oreo. See you later, Simba. Thank you very much. Marga, thank you very much for wanting to participate in the anniversary. You couldn't miss it either. And thank you for also telling us the story of Oreo and Simba so that everyone knows about it. You're absolutely right. It's not only shelters that rescue animals from the streets, but many people with good hearts who suddenly find a helpless animal and decide to give it a home or find a place to live. That's what happened to you with Oreo and Simba. And well, the truth is that I've seen many stories of people who have done exactly the same. We still know that there are people with good hearts who are willing to do all that. And that also gives us a little hope. Meili, come here.

Hello.

Come here. Hello, Meili. I'm watching. Hello, I'm Maria. And this is messy. Meili. A year has passed between the two videos you just saw, and the change is evident. Our story began in August of last year. I was having dinner with my boys on a terrace and I saw the cat sleeping about 20 meters away from us. I approached thinking that he Was going to leave when he saw me, but he came with me and here I am. I started to feel bad for him because I thought he was a stray cat that would leave when I gave him something to eat. But clearly I got the name wrong. For two weeks I was taking him food to the place where I found him and he waited for me every afternoon. But as soon as I could, he came with me. And now he waits for me behind the door every day.

I want you to know that this cat helped me last summer much more than I helped him. Greetings from Cordoba. Oh, thank you very much for telling us your story. When you find a cat that is on the street and you start bringing it food and other things, you start to establish a bond. Thank you so much for taking her in and giving her a home with you. I also read your email and well, it touched me a lot and I'm really, really happy that everything is much better at home.

Now she is Luna and she was rescued from the street when she was just one month old due to the very little time she spent with her feline family. At first she was a very distrustful and fearful cat and it was very difficult for us to get her out of her hiding place. But thanks to all the support and advice we got from the shelter who gave her up for adoption, and the tips we found on the Happy Pets and Families channel, we've been fans from the very first moment. We managed to make her trust us more and feel safe in her new home. Today, 10 months after her adoption, Luna is a very happy and calm kitten. She is still afraid of strangers, but we give her space because we believe she had a really bad time in her first month of life on the street. And little by little, she is finding her place. Adopting Luna has changed our lives. Not only because of the happiness and peace she brought home, but because we are more aware of how bad things are for animals on the street and the important work of the shelters that rescue and help them. We can only thank the channel for helping us make this great work of the shelters visible. Thank you, Lunita. She says goodbye.

See you later. Lorita. I am glad that you told Luna's story and how she came to your home with a shelter. In the end, what often happens is that until we have to turn to the shelters, we do not really know everything they do to ensure that all these cats that do not have opportunities end up in a home. Hello Carlos. I am Maria from Asturias and this is my three month old cat, Treble. We brought him From a village, from some friends who had a kitten and he had four beautiful kittens. Trebol is a bit mischievous and affectionate. He really likes playing with his toys and running around the house. Since he is a bit restless and was used to being outdoors, we take him to the mountains every weekend. My parents let me bring him because I always wanted a cat. Thank you very much for your videos. They are very useful to us. Thank you for everything and take care. Thank you. Thank you. Treble. Well, yes. I am very happy that you have decided to live with a cat and it is also a cat that looks exactly like me. I would simply recommend that you also talk to your friends and if it is true that the mother has had litters, then have the mother spayed or neutered to prevent tribal's story from having to repeat itself and having more unwanted litters. But anyway, very good for having given Trevor a home.

Hello, how are you? Carlos, how are you? Marina greets you from Lima, Peru. Exactly a year ago I lost my kitten. I had to put her to sleep because she was fragile. So after all the experience I went through, which was almost three months, I didn't feel like adopting or knowing anything about kittens. I was really sad.

But then lyi came to me. Now she's Lizzie.

Hello Lizzie.

The mischievous girl is lyi. She's one year and two months old and she's with me now. I adopted her from the Masicha Peru association so now she's with me. I'm her cat mom right now and I love her very much. So as I tell everyone, please don't buy, please adopt and take home these cute four legged animals that we love very much. So greetings. Greetings to you. Oh, thank you very much Marina with Lizzie. Well, after all, she's obviously not coming to your home to replace your previous kitten. But it's true that she might fill that void she left in you a little. If you're someone who's always used to giving love to an animal, then in this case you're giving it to Lissy who also deserves it. Thank you very much for having adopted her and for having given her another chance through a shelter. Tomba and salva. Oh, they're two 4 year old kittens who have been with them since 2020. It's true that it's very difficult to adopt older kittens. Salva was born in 2017 and is a very affectionate kitten. And Tomba who was born a month after Salva and is also very affectionate but a little More distrustful. Well, it's in her character. At first it was a little difficult for them to trust each other, but hey, everything is with patience and a few instructions. Salva is a little scared, but he loves the same things. And Tampa loves windows. And sometimes he even talks to the birds. He talks to the birds. Be careful in case Tomba wants to do something else with the birds. Well, I'm very happy because the video was made for us by Ari, whose mother is a follower of the channel. And, well, she made the video so that she could introduce him to us. Well, I'm very happy that you did it for your mother, because I also suppose that she'll be excited to appear in the anniversary video.

These are Newton and Lombroso.

Hello.

Newton is a four year old Norwegian forest cat who was bought by a woman when he was a puppy. Later she got pregnant and left Newton at a vet. Newton was in a small cage for three weeks before we were able to adopt him. Every day I spent with him, he asked me to pet him with his little paw. Now he is pampered and spoiled, as he knows he deserves. Lombroso is a nine month old Russian blue who was found on an electric fence with all his whiskers burned off. He lived for a few weeks surrounded by filth and many animals with which he had to fight for his food. When we adopted him, he had parasites in his belly. Today he doesn't have to compete to survive and receives all the attention and play he has always wanted. Together we are a happy family that will gradually expand with more feline blessings that need true love.

I really like the story you told me, Meira, because it also makes us think a little about the fact that a cat that has a breed or that is a purebred, one of those that are highly valued, does not have a guarantee of arriving and saying, I will always have a family. There are even families who abandon cats that have cost them money. Like what happened with Newton, the Norwegian forest cat. Right. And in the end, also due to false beliefs, they probably abandoned him because they thought the pregnancy was incompatible with having a cat and so on. They lead certain people to do things that are not right. Luckily they have found you.

Let me introduce you to the lady.

Hello, lady.

Stray cat that I adopted as an adult. She was 4 years old. She had been found with her kittens. She had a slash wound on her belly and was in very bad shape. But she has still continued to nurse her babies. She has been in my house for four years and is One of the nicest cats I have ever met.

How pretty.

And that one you see there is Jin. Hey. We adopted her a week ago, my lady and I. She is a kitten. I saw her be between six and eight months old. Well, we followed your advice for her adaptation, and as you can see, it went very well.

How wonderful. My goodness, in a week they already get along like this. I mean, they can now be together perfectly. Well. Thank you very much for letting us know about her story. And well, for having decided to fill your life with not just one cat, but two. Hello, this is Suki.

Hello, Suki.

She is very rambunctious. She is 15 months old. We chose her when she was five weeks old at a shelter called La Pugina Roja. Right, Sue? And she loves to play. Sure, Suki.

And we love her very much.

Well, well. Suki wants to go now. How great that you decided to adopt Suki and that you did it through a shelter. Thank you very much for telling us her story. Hello everyone. My name is Odin. I am approximately 1 1/2 years old and this July 31st it will be a year since my human mother adopted me.

One day some friends of my human grandmother were talking about a cat that was on the street that seemed very thin and that the shelter was going to come get it. That was me. Come on. My human grandmother felt very sorry for me and luckily my mother managed to convince her to adopt me.

How great.

The shelter took me off the street and that same day I arrived at my new home. I was very thin, I was losing hair due to malnutrition, and to top it all off, I had mites in my ears. But with the right medication and good nutrition, I recovered. And although I missed the street, I have a better life now.

How great. He was used to living on the street and you have looked for a tool so that he doesn't miss the street so much. Because I see that with the harness he gets along great and you can take him outside without any problem. It seems to me that you have perfectly understood what Odin Palusin needed in his life. Although we already know that it is not for everyone. But anyway, I have already told you about that on the channel. In another video, on October 23rd, they saw her on Facebook. Oh, how pretty. How tiny. At the party there is Wi Fi or Wi fi. I am sleepy and a climber at the head. You have it all. How pretty. In yoga with a harness too. How good the furniture is. Oh, how pretty. What a fun video. Cats are always involved in everything. Wherever we are. They have to be there.

Well, I don't know if you can tell them apart very well. The black one is Loki. He is a lovely cat. He arrived last year during the pandemic. He came from Cadiz and, well, they found him on the street when he was a month and a half old in deplorable conditions. Hey, Coco here, the firecracker. He arrived this year. He's five months old. When we chose him from the litter of a cat that the same girl who sent us Loki rescued from the street. He was by far the ugliest of.

The litter, but super cute.

He look like Gollum. But here they are. They're both superb. We're delighted with them and they're a joy.

How great. As for the person we adopted, Judith from Cadiz, she deserves a monument. With the amount of cats she rescues, she deserves a monument. The rescuers, the protectors, and I say the rescuers because they're usually women, are dedicated to this, to a job that's quite thankless and that people often don't even value. Thank you very much for participating in this fourth anniversary.

Well, these little panthers are Shadow and Night, and they are two kittens rescued from the street with their siblings in April 2020. They had a bit of a hard time because, well, we don't get along very well with humans. When we rescued them, they were like little lions roaring and hissing so that no one would touch. And it took us six months to even start petting them. And, well, it's been a joint effort with a lot of patience, but now here they are, happy with their little birds and calm. And I would like to mention GSH homeless cats of Collato Villalba, which is the shelter that helped us with the whole process. And, well, they are hard workers and deserve everything.

Thank you for having resorted to a shelter. And thank you also for telling us the name of the shelter so that we can include it in the video. And that way people who want to help them can get in touch with them. Well, this is Leo.

Hi, Leo.

We rescued Leo from the street when he was a puppy of just six months old. Between six and six months. Well, it didn't take long for Nano to show that he was a natural hunter. Right. He had a lot of hunting instincts. And we started looking for a little help from a dog trainer who started to help us control him a little bit. And we continued going with him as a hobby. That's where we met.

This beauty. Hi.

Little by little, over time, week after week, he created a very, very Nice bond with my partner. They no longer separated. Every time we went. And that's how it was. We adopted him.

How great.

Many people criticized me, saying that he was too old a dog, that he was 10 years old, that how could I adopt such an old dog, that he was basically going to die on me. And this teddy bear has been with us for five years.

How great.

And here he is with connective tissue dysfunction syndrome advanced with his arthritis. And this is the story of my two little boys.

What a beautiful story. Because in the end, that's what it is. When you connect with an animal companion, you don't think twice about it. And if you've connected with him, what do you care if he's 10 years old or 12? Well, in this case he was 10. If in the end you're going to give him a home when he needs it the most, because, well, some ailments might start to appear and it's good for him to have a family around him. I loved your story and I think what you've done is great. The emperor of the house. How nice.

Lets introduce you to Narin, a very handsome feline who came three years ago from the shelter in Madrid.

Very good.

A great shelter in Vila Verde that we recommend you visit.

How handsome.

Naren is a very active cat who loves to hunt. Look, look, look, look. There's nothing he can resist more than jumping and catching anything that comes his way. Come on, let's move. After so much exercise, nothing better than a little nap to relax. He needs his space.

And I'm sure you give it to him. You give him all the space he needs and all the love he requires. He's very, very agile. Dion. I see him. I don't know if it's because he has a lot of hair, but I see him a little overweight. But hey, surely with the exercise and all that stuff, he'll also improve. Thank you for adopting him.

Hello, I'm Sumiya and I'm sending you this video from Alicante. This is Simba. He's three years old. We took him in from the street when he was six weeks old. He had an eye infection and he also didn't go to the toilet regularly, the poor thing. Well, to the toilet, to the litter box. And well, now he's here having his bath session. And he's very handsome and very affectionate. Hello, this is Nala.

Hello, Nala.

And she's about 10 months old. We took her in from the street too. She had a very infected eye, very badly. She had a Ball of pus in her left eye. And she also had ringworm and well, now she's a little princess. And a bug, of course. She has also found all the areas, all the nooks and crannies of your home. Thank you very much for giving two kittens the opportunity to have a home and to live with you. And also with each other, of course. Rescued due to Covid, a female cat from Libidos Norte, Peru found us the day the quarantine began there. She was very hungry, full of fleas and had a bad eye. Nobody wanted her. Her first carrier was a trash can. Due to the distance and the circumstances of the place, she did not have access to veterinary care. Poor thing. But she recovered little by little. Energetic, playful and gave us many moments of joy during such difficult times when we had to live far from our families. Then we had to move to Puerto Llano in Spain. It was impossible to leave without Covid. It was a bit difficult to complete all the paperwork, but we managed it. She proved to be the best travel companion. Despite all the stretches and different forms of transportation, she remained calm. Now here she likes to visit the San Gregorio promenade. A country cat, but friendly. She enjoys the walk. And without a doubt it was Covid who rescued us.

How beautiful Covid is. And she has also made a very long trip. Imagine, my goodness, from Peru to come to Spain. But hey, at the end of the day it's what you have to do when we have a feline family. Well, if we travel we have to find all the ways for them to be able to accompany us. If we go far, they will have to come with us. I'm very happy to know your story.

This is Kayla. That's Kayla. Hello.

She's our six year old dog and well, she was rescued on the street when she was about. Come on.

Look at that. Let everyone see how old she is.

And well, the truth is we love her very much and she's been in our lives for quite some time. This is Winter. Well, she's a kitten, about two months old. She used to live on a ranch and she used to purge a lot, but now she doesn't. This is Winter. Well, she's a kitten, about two months old. She used to live on a ranch and she used to purge a lot, but now she doesn't. We decided to adopt her because we've wanted a feline companion for a long time.

She's quite quiet and stubborn, but we love her very much, don't we?

We are Veil and I'm Tanya and This is our beautiful cat, Winter, who is already hunting. How pretty. A shiny ball. See you later. Bye.

Thank you very much, Valeria and also Tanya, for introducing us to your canine, feline and human family. Greetings to the four of you, and especially to Valeria, who I loved how you told us the stories of Keela, Winter and, well, your entire family. Hello. We're Victoria. And these are our two children of the heart. He's Toulouse.

Hello, Toulouse, here from the town on the street where we live in Andorra. Teruel. And she's Luna, a cat from Penascola. She was at a bar where we had breakfast when we went to the beach. And she was the last cat in the litter that no one wanted. A beautiful, expensive cat. But she had an ulcer in one eye and no one wanted to take her. But we fell in love with her, especially my partner. We decided to adopt her. And together with this chubby guy, we raised her. We took time, cleaned her, dewormed her. And here she is, queen and mistress.

Of the home with her brother, Teulous. They are the two most wonderful things we have in our lives. They are our children of the heart. How beautiful. And. And thank you too. Well, I give it to you on behalf of Luna, although you know that she's already enormously grateful to you, because thanks to you rescuing her from the street, you are doing a great favor to all these kittens who have eye problems, because many times when they have an ulcer or something, these things do not heal on their own and they can even lose their eye. So for your effort and for wanting to get her off the streets, you have also saved a very important part of her life, which is her vision. Thank you very much. Hello, Ronaldo. They are all cows. Wow. My goodness. Charming doll. My goodness, so many cats. Kopito 11. How great. What a beautiful message. It's true. You will never regret being a street cat, especially if you have a lot of space. Because look, you live with 11 and all 11 are doing great. You have done her the favor of a lifetime.

Hello.

Hello. Kotan.

Hey, pets and happy families. Let me introduce you to Cotton. I had already seen him. We live in the Canary Islands, on the island of Fuerteventura.

Oh, how great.

Khotan was rescued on the island of Tenerife. A private lady rescued him, gave him the booklet, food, everything he needed. Then I found out about him through some friends and I rescued him and brought him here. It's been three years now. In October we'll have been sharing for four years.

How Sweet. He's.

A very sweet, beautiful albino cat with spectacular eyes.

Oh my goodness, what big eyes. Well, I'm gonna ask you to adopt me too, because I'm also going to fwear to Ventura. You haven't told me because I don't know, but he's very likely to be deaf. I don't know if he really is deaf or not, but if he is, I'd like you to tell me in the comments if you watch the video, what it's like to live with a deaf cat, if he is deaf, and if there's any special adaptation you've had to make. Your story has really moved me inside because it reminded me of my cat Kopito, who was also white and also from the street. And yes, you already know because I mention him in almost every video. Silvia Gallego tells us the story of Cui, who was rescued from the street from a half frozen puddle. Little by little they were able to integrate him into their home. But unfortunately, not all stories have a happy ending. And Kweli turned up dead one day. And Sylvia suffered a lot when Kwi left. But at least during the time she was with her, she had the love of a family that loved her. This is Lully, who has adopted Lee after thinking her whole life that she didn't like cats. Look how she feels. Andrea introduces us to Poncha, the black one, and Polonia, the brown one, who are already a year and a half old. They adopted them from the Voce Animal Foundation. They thought the foundation's work was so important to them that they also collaborate with the sterilization of feral cats. Anna Casal tells us the story of Max and Leia, who rescued them from the streets. This is Duchess, who was given a chance after finding her in a chicken coop with no water or food. And the poor thing must have suffered a lot because she didn't have fangs either. The person who rescued her is Dolores Villanueva. Maria del Pilar Monteverde rescued Amelie in Lima Per Maria Galan tells us the story of a rescued kitten named Lou. Olivia Mattos tells us the story of Pokemon or Poke, who was a kitten rescued from the streets and now also lives with Gowdy, Malia and Nairobi. Raquel Corshon introduces us to Kit, who was adopted by an association, the Bow Scats association of Tarragona. Rosa tells us the story of Loki, who she says goes crazy for his aunt Marian, who is the one in the video with him. They rescued him when he was almost a month old. Victoria took in Benito and says that he filled her life with love and joy. Right now, he is the king of the house. Where is he? Well, there have been many stories that you have told us to celebrate with this and we with you the fourth anniversary of the channel about pets and happy families. I loved meeting you all because, well, you can also learn a little bit from all of them and become a little more aware that we have to adopt cats that need it. That by giving them a second chance, they are happy and they make us happy. Thank you very much. Well, I have to thank so many people. First, you for telling us the stories of your animal companions. Second, to all of you who haven't told us stories but who also accompany us and make the Happy Pets and Families channel what it is we. Because we do the channel only for you, really. And third, to all the animal protection, rescue and animal welfare associations that in one way or another have also contributed to making our world a little better and allowing your feline companions to now live with you. Thanks to them, the problem of abandonment is alleviated a little. And many times they do their work without any kind of financial support from governments or city councils. They do it only because they believe that in this way they can contribute to making the world a better place. Thank you very much, really. And thank you for watching this video and for reaching this point. Well, of this video that's so long that I don't even know how long it's going to be. And now we're almost at our fifth anniversary.
