A stray cat followed me home and we let him in. Simba has quickly become our family member and our cat requires a lot of attention from us.
As a first-time cat owner, there are many things I wish I knew before adopting a stray cat. In today's video, I want to share my experience and things to know before adopting a stray cat. I hope this video can be helpful to you~

It's going to take some work but it's worth a try. I'll make sure to check out more of your videos for tips. Do you have any tips or made any videos on DIY on how to screen their health and get them checked up naturally to make sure they are in good health?

Over the last year I’ve slowly been making progress with her and she had three kittens 🥰. They’ve all gotten fairly comfortable with me, walk up to me for pats, will walk into the house with me etc. In a week I’m getting them all neutered and I’m very nervous about it so I’m hoping they don’t hate me for it 🤞🏻

  • With my family we adopted 3 stray cats. The 1st cat was adopted in mid July 1979, 2nd came around late September 1981 was finally adopted mid November 1981, 3rd cat came around in June 1993 and was adopted in mid November 1983. The first 2 cats were red tabby cats. The 3rd cat was a cute tuxedo cat. The 2nd cat was more mine cat because I bonded with him. He was a big sweetie. 1st cat was laid back and was very friendly with different cat around his turf. 3 cat came from an abusive background. He was a funny cat. He was sweet and friendly and then he was pissed off. He had mood swings. He didn’t liked to be hold or picked up. The 1st cat was easy to picked up but, he didn’t liked it too much. The 2nd cat was big and did got out of my arms. I did hold him in my arms to watched the birds outside in this one bird feeder. He just let a little meowed at the bird. He was the 1st cat to go. He had cancerous tumor in his body. He lost 7 pounds. He weighed 20 pounds for the longest time. Towards the end his weight was 13 pounds. He was sweet and friendly towards the end. The 1st cat almost lived with my parents 18 years. He was old sweet and friendly cat. The 3rd was put down from balancing issues. I was lucky that both of my parents liked those cats. The 2nd cat was my favorite kitty to have. He was very sweet and friendly cat. He was liked having a dog around. All 3 cats were indoor and outdoor cats. The 1st cat was a good hunter. He did brought home lived garter snakes to show off his trophy. The 2nd cat wasn’t a much of a hunter. He was a big lover. 3rd was another good hunter. Somehow he ate a mouse w/o any teeth. Each cat that I liked in a different way. 1st cat was a buddy to me. 2nd cat was my bestie for a little bit over 12 years. 3rd cat was my play thing. I did have helped my sister on raising 2 kittens towards early adulthood. Both kittens came from different pet stores. One was a beautiful tuxedo Manx cat and the other one was a sweet red tabby cat. Both cats did grew up together as besties. They did slept next to each other and even played each other. I fell in loved with the red tabby kitten when I first met him at the bottom of my feet standing by the fridge. He was so tiny and cute fur ball.

  • I want to tell something about stray cats. Most of them are not stray since born. They were born near someone house and the person start feeding them until the kittens can run and climb. But because most people don't want to let them sleep inside the house, some of the them might climb inside the engine bay to sleep in it. Because engine produces heat and they love it. In the morning home owner leave the house for work. The kitten fell in the middle of nowhere and become a new stray. There's a reason why some strays are friendly and some are not. If you want to let them sleep outside, just wait until they are big enough so their body cannot fit inside the engine bay.

    • Thanks for sharing! Yes our vet said that Simba is a domestic cat that was neutered by a shelter and put into our neighborhood. We adopted him to be an indoor cat, which is great because we had snow storm last year and freeze this year. He wouldn’t have made it outside 🙏. We are grateful that he’s our family now 😉

  • I have had cats as a kid, and all my life since some 40 years. All good advice and well thought out. Sometimes we humanize cats too much and think they act out of emotions about us when it is something more general like their upbringing and past life. Cats hunt, but they are small enough to be prey as well and so many of their actions come from that .

  • Thank you both for rescuing you handsome orange cat. Such a kind thing to do!! My husband and I adopted a orange cat that was left on the doorstep with two siblings and we LOVE our “CHIP” so much. However, he is also gobbles his food and wanted something to eat every time we went into the kitchen. We bought a feeder that you can set the timer on so the food comes out in the dish at the times you set it for. It’s the best thing ever. Chip use to try to wake up about 5:00am when he was hungry. Now his feeder goes off at 5:00, he goes into the kitchen, has some food and now comes back to sleep 💤 I love that you set up a Instagram page for him. I have been thinking about doing that also. Love you Miss Ming 🐾 ❤😊❤

  • I've been saying I wanted a cat for a while now. I used to be scared of them but a stray in my last neighborhood came to my door when I was doing the walk-through. She kept coming back and had kittens in my bushes. So I feed them all. She left and came back and had another set in my bushes again. Over time she grew on me but my son is allergic and she got mad at me bc I had a friend over and we were hanging out on my patio and she came and my friend freaked out. I told the cat to stay back and we gathered our stuff in went in. After that, she stopped coming around but I heard someone else in the neighborhood took her with them when they moved. Fast forward to my new place, a Russian blue has been showing up. I didn't know the breed until I looked up hypoallergenic cats and saw it there. So I'm considering taking the cat in if he/she returns. I never knew they were so affectionate and definitely very smart and spiritually tapped in! I'm so ready for a pet friend!

Seated only holding might be a good intro 7:22 8:23 8:50 9:09 10:01 12:03 🧢 cats use scent to locate other cats ma’am. Leather smells & feels amazing to kitty paws so you just have to be smart

    • I have heard that some kittens do experience separation anxiety. But usually they adapt to the new environment. Maybe stay with your cat as much as possible so she can adapt more to your presence. My cat wanted to go back outside first, but after a few months he prefers indoors now. I never let him go outside. It took some time for him to adapt. Most cats love to look outside windows tho. They are always curious and try to monitor the surroundings as much as possible~

  • I need a bit of help on this specific topic, i live in a close compound with my mother, brother and grandma, looking forward to adopt a dog, the thing is weeks ago i started feeding and petting 3 stray cats, 1 mother and her 2 kittens, the mother and the daughter have progressed a lot, they follow me everywhere i go, i call them mishi (a urban form to say cat in spanish) and dulce (which means sweet), the other one is a super shy boy, he’s always scared and hides from me but it seems he likes to protect his sister even tho he always steals her food lol, named him vegeta btw, can’t adopt the 3 of them but i’m planning to build them a little wooden house next to mine, do you think that’s the right move?

    @rogerdert@rogerdert Жыл бұрын
    • I think building a wooden house for the cats is a good move! Then you can kinda keep the dog and the cats separate. If you want to get a dog, the common practice is to introduce the dog and the cats at the same time, so the cats don’t feel that their territory is being invaded by a new dog. Good luck to everything! Keep us updated!

  • Thanks for the video! Soon I’m adopting a stray cat, he’s a 9-12 month old, we don’t have him just yet, but I have met him, he’s super friendly to everyone which I’m really surprised at, he’s so bonded with a lady he follows her everywhere. But where the lady lives, it’s a no pet policy, and there’s also a man in the apartment block who wants to poison cats for some reason, so we decided to take him. I used to own a cat, but never ever a stray, so I got some questions: How can I get a stray cat used to being in a home? As I don’t want to stress out the stray cat about being in a home for the first time. And I do have a husky, but luckily she’s OKAY with cats. But how can I get the cat to not stress out by there being a dog?

    • Yea I would separate the cat from dog in different room until you are sure they can be ok with each other. Usually cats are the ones that initiate the attack actually. We never had problem with our stray cat adapting to the house. Just make sure he has liter box easily access to him~ slowly introduce the cat to the dog and other rooms~ good luck!!

Also letting the cat watch from a high shelf or cat tree may make them feel safe while they get used to him not being dangerous to them

  • I have a question, my parents say it’s a horrible thing to do to adopt a stray cat because you’re basically taking away their freedom to roam and instead confining them indoors. Because of this they didn’t let me bring my cat with me when I was moving to another country, is it true? The cat loved me so much and it would always get mad when I needed to get up and do things after having it on my lap for hours. I still think about him often and if my parents were right or not.

    • Definitely not true. Indoor cats live way longer than outdoor cats. If the stray cats bond with you, then definitely good idea to rescue them. However, there is a difference between stray cats and feral cats. Feral cats are not domesticated and are used to live outdoors. Feral cats don’t bond with human usually.
