Torn Ears and a Nose Full of Crust - Rescue of a Fighter Cat !!
Torn ears, a nose full of crust and a severe respiratory infection.. When my aunt found this sick fighter cat, he couldn't even run from my aunt; he was too weak to even move. And his eyes were also closed due to crust at the beginning. But after a 20-day treatment, he became a whole different cat!
You will also see a few other stray cats from our neighborhood in this video that we managed to trap, rescue and spay/neuter in 2021.

About Our Channel:
This channel is about the daily lives and adventures of my 3 indoor cats Santi, Indy & Chewie and our 13 outdoor cats and my dog Walter.
Our outdoor cats are living in our garden and their names are D'Artagnan, The Rolling Cat (Princess), The Purring Cat, D'Artagnan's Girlfriend, Porthos, Zoom, Junior, The Mom Cat, The Big Head, Ruzgar, Nope, Pamuk and Pamuk Jr.
If you are a new visitor to our channel, I suggest that you watch the two playlists called "All The Videos of Our Outdoor Cats (In Order)" and "All The Videos of My Indoor Cats (In Order)" first.
Apart from the videos of our cats, from time to time I also upload videos of other animals I come across.
So basically, what you'll find here are lots of funny and cute cat videos, an ongoing miniseries about a cat love drama, sometimes rescue stories and always a whole lot of meowing! Enjoy!

Snowy Peaks pt I; pt II and Morning Mandolin by Chris Haugen #waltersanti
It is so important to get these animals spayed and neutered. A huge thanks for doing so. I visit many small towns and villages in Andalusia, Spain, which are so overcrowded with half starved cats. To make maters worse they often have worms. Unfortunately, many locals would never dream of neutering a cat, or get them vaccinated, or even feed them properly. That is changing with the younger generation but sadly they leave these villages to find work in cities. The older generation, even if they might a cat, would never spend any money on it. Just some good food at regular times can transform a cat in a couple of weeks. My wife and I have a holiday home in one of these villages and try to give these cats, many of whom are feral and unpredictable, like the Wild One, as much love and support (plenty of food) as we can. The locals think we are mad and soft. Nevertheless, even the toughest little critter can become affectionate. Most of them are desperate for some love and a home. To go back to the beginning - Get your cat neutered or spayed.
Def relate. They all laugh at us for spendin money on cats
Thank you for helping these kitties You are true heroes.
The governing body(ies) should bear responsibility since it/they govern the land on which the strays or critters live. Definitely, neutering and spaying the strays is a must. It takes continued daily effort to keep them (the strays) fed, and somewhat sheltered 😿. If the cats remain "unowned", then its health (no veterinary visits) and safety (no microchips/other technologies) are also terrible issues for them 😿😿😿. Cats are domesticated animals. They should exist in a domesticated environment, not on the streets. Whereas birds are not domesticated animals, or are "wild", even life for them in the "wild" setting of our world is too harsh. We hear them tweet in the morning and think that they had a good night prior...even when the weather was unbearably cold and windy. The assumption is that they all were able to find decent shelter. But there is not a lot we can do to help the birds, since they are wild. This is strictly a human world. Animals, domesticated/farmed or wild, have zero input to what they want or need. They are the ultimate "uneducated" or "unlearned" in a human world.
desperate for some love and a home - how true, I feel sorry for them
I know so difficult to understand. Totally agree with you. I rescued 2 kittens from a farm where my friend keeps her horses. The owner's neutering policy - drowning. I still have the second sister now 8 years old and as affectionate as it is possible to be considering that she has "wild" cat blood in her veins.
This world needs more people like you
But all we got is gutless Biden
@@SKS8080 This channel does not need the likes of you.
Super agreed
@@lemuret69 look who has his lips on Bidens butt. It’s YOU!!!!
@@SKS8080 You're proving something, little boy.
Mr Santi is a generous, humane and very fine human being. His contribution to cat welfare is extraordinary, and a great example to the rest of us, no matter where we live. My best wishes to Mr Santi, and his beautiful family 🐈
Santi is the name of one of his house cats 😅
@@cocobean6281 We all know that but that is what we call him
When I am depressed, I need peace and relaxation. So I watch your videos. They are safe and calming in a violent world. Thanks so much for your time and effort you go through to provide a beautiful environment. Stay safe and healthy.
How many of you have tears in your eyes, from watching the first kitty? Tears of sadness for him because he was so very sick, then tears of gratitude to see him getting well again and having an appetite, rubbing his head on the cage to be petted… All these things you do for the love of cats so touches our hearts. You have a special place in Heaven waiting. God bless you and your family. ❤️
I'm still crying 😭.
It was so sad to see him leave once released, since he responded so well to the human touch and affection. Called back to the wild, I guess.
@@sleepinglioness5754 He visits the aunts now and then for food, so he's got freedom and a grocery store ❤️👍🏽😁
Me.
Me too couldn’t stop crying I find it unbearable to look at sick animals. Thank god for these wonderful people
We all know the reason why you have over 1 million subscribers, its because you have a heart of gold. When you help the helpless, people will forever remember your good deeds on this earth. Bravo my friend.
I saved a little bag of bones who was less than a year old. Looking at him made me want to cry. He didn't know which he wanted more, water or food, just kept going fast back and forth between the two. Now, 3 years later he's turned into a gorgeous tuxedo cat with bright emerald green and gold eyes. It is very satisfying to have turned his life around for him. Bonus: he has enriched the life of my other tom!
Oh lovely,I'm so pleased
I started crying, when I saw this little hopeless boy with his crusty face, sitting in the box with eyes full of despair... Thank you so much for helping all those fur babies to live a healthy and happy live
You and your family's humanity means more to this world than you'll ever know. I'm overjoyed that you're able to share this with us, as I'm sure that you touch many hearts, not just my own.
I agree
well said
Perfectly said! 🐈💛
I agree, well said, William!
You expressed EXACTLY how I feel too : ] Walter and his family are true human beings.
I agree with all the comments, this man is a rock star!!! He blesses me with every video, his goodness and love for the furry ones makes my heart sing. What a role model he is!❤😘❤
Thank you so much for helping and rescuing this poor little guy and the other stray cats. You make the world brightener.
The man is a candle in the darkness. We should all learn to be like him.
Thank you so much for not only helping these cats but also helping to spread more awareness about the importance of neutering these cats! I especially loved the black and white one, so scrawny before the spay and so fluffy and delightful to look at after! Popping out kitten after kitten takes such a toll on their body, I'm glad they can now keep all that energy for themselves and their health
Are you being serious? Are you the only species deserving of its continuation? Nature has a way of working. It's natural selection. Sometimes it may not be pleasant but that's how nature works. The last time humans medeled with the reproduction of a species, we got all these inbred dogs which live a terrible life filled with various ailments. Nature did not do this. Humans did. Animals also have rights and we are stupid to not recognize it now. Maybe 50 years down the line we will be woke enough. We will realize what a crime neutering is
Like most humans
@@rjblitz5871 humans use contraception to control it's population, so what's the difference. Or do you think 30 billion humans on the planet is ok and all the Devastation and suffering that would bring, would sort itself out??? 😂😂😂😂😜😜😜😜😜
@@rjblitz5871 Cats are at no risk to go extinct anytime soon... Why would you deny them medical care to make their life better? As a human, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to live without healthcare. Or are you living in the wild without any kind of healthcare/reproductive care/contraception? If natural selection had its way, most humans wouldn't be alive today.
@@rjblitz5871 Also, the exploding cat population is very harmful for other species such as birds. If we want birds to have some continuation as a species, we need to control cat numbers. We are the ones responsible for cats being so numerous in the first place, so this does not interfere with nature, on the opposite, we're just sorting our own mess.
You, sir, are an angel from God, sent to be a care giver to all these precious creatures. Thank you for all that you do for them.😻😽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Your kindness and compassion for these precious kitties is so inspiring. Thank you for all you do💖
God bless you, Walter, for your incredible compassion & taking action to help these kitties. Blessings to you, your aunts and all the folks at the vet. 🐈💛
Walter is the dog and Santi the white house cat.
You are a hero Walter 😇. So generous with the care you give these beautiful cats. Cheers from Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
Walter is the dog's name🥰 But of course a very big yes, our world needs such gentle & kind humans♥️ Love & blessings from Switzerland to all cat lovers out there🇨🇭🌎🙏 Walter = Dog Santi = white indoor cat
Thank you Sandra. I had no idea that the title referred to a dog and a cat. So funny really. Thank to the hero who looks after all these gorgeous cats 😻😻😻

In spite of two bad years in whole world, your family are one of so many has achieved wonderful task taking care of unfortunate becoming fortunate cats. May you, your family be blessed, be healthy, prosperous and happy for ever ….🙏🙏🙏🌷💐🌺🇬🇧
He knew where to come to for help 🙏 Your aunt's are Angels for feeding the strays. ❤️
Your house starts looking like a cat sanctuary, hehe. And look at all that equipment! You are doing so much good for the cats of your city, it's awesome.
Thank God that you are an enlightened animal lover and always do the responsible thing by getting your rescue cats NEUTERED!!!
I've been following this channel for a long time. I enjoy watching all the stories. TNR really works. I've had a colony for around 15 years and have trapped over 50 cats/kittens. Some disappeared as soon as I got them back, others left slowly, while the rest stayed around. They would scatter every time I went out to feed them. And finally, about 3 years ago, two of them would let me pat them when I went to feed them. They are not friendly but accepts me as a food giver. Now my colony is down to two (from over 20 at the beginning). If you feed stray cats, please get them spay/neutered. They reproduce quickly. Your animal shelters should offer free or low-cost clinics. It's so rewarding to help these poor animals.
You are filled with great love to help and then let them go back to the wild. A little bit of you goes with each of them. God bless you Carrieann McLeod.
Truer words never spoken: if you feed cats please get them spayed/neutered. As you say, there are many TNR low cost clinics. Best way to control the cat population and alleviate suffering.
You are the neighborhood's angel, a true godsend. Your entire family is incredibly kind and generous to all neighborhood cats. Just seeing all those clean carriers made me realize again how hard you work to make animals' healthier and safer, and you're laughing while you work! Love and kind wishes to you. ❤❤
What a gentle boy, even through all his treatment ❤
That last one is really feral, she's going to be an adventure to catch. So many cats you have helped, such a good soul.
The last one left with food in her mouth. I wonder if she is going to feed kittens?
@@BillyLapTop Not fixed and very thin, so possible.
Drop net?
@@carmenevans7651 yeah I was thinking a drop trap would be a good idea but considering how weary she is, she probably wouldn't settle down enough for a drop trap to work unfortunately. But maybe!
@@phantasticdrago230 Yes, as soon as she heard anything above or around her her she'd be gone in a flash. She like lightening. She didn't even want to get near that other cat. A definite challenge.
Thank you for everything you and your family does for the kitties.
I really, really appreciate how you and your family help those poor creatures, who share this same planet with us. Any living being deserves respect and love.
Someone needs to take him inside! Especially after getting the en fixed and everything. I hope they all find great homes. Thank you for all you do! YOU are God’s hands extended. Truly. And PS AGAIN: All those kitties are just beautiful!!!
Love & best wishes to your aunt who reached out to save the little crusty-nosed guy. Compassion for animals must run in the family! Thank you for sharing your life with cats and Walter!
Yes you came by your love and compassion from your family I think
I failed fostering 5 times, every time promising to myself that I will give this kitten for adoption... never had any regrets... Your are really kind person, taking care of so many cats. I admire your empathy for all of them.
You and your family have the kindest souls. Thank you.
This is so beautiful to watch, it fills my heart with happiness and joy. Thank you for all you do for these cats ❤
I have no words good enough to express how I feel when I see the wonderfully kind work that you do for any stray that crosses your path. You and your family are truly Saints. I must say that when I visited Turkey and Greece a few years back I was blown away at the number of stray cats and dogs that I saw. So your spaying and neutering all cats that you come across is the best solution by far. Thank you for sharing your stories with the world. 🙋🇦🇺
When in Greece, did you hear of Takis' Shelter and Jutta Shelter? Both are on YT and FB. Great shelters and daily videos as well. Great people helping innocent animals.
Wow. You are a hero. 😲 I recently found this cat with no leg. This cat was taken care of a volunteer who moved out. There was nobody who can feed him. But the cat got close to me and I fed him. Now I take care of him and feed him. I called him Jediz. The name, Jediz came from a TV-show called Sefirin Kizi. Now Jediz comes to my yard and gets fed by me. 😊
All that you do for these cats is amazing,you and your family are angels to these cats.Thank you.
Such amazing transformations~ Thank you for your kindness, as always.
Not only you, but your entire family care, love and has been very generous to the unfortunate cats and animals. I feel as I can't find the right or enough words to discribe how good you and your family are. God bless you all. Can't wait for your next video and next story.
I know your culture is rather averse to cats being neutered/spayed - that you manage to convince more and more of your brethren to go for TNR is marvellous. You were rather busy in 2021.
You are my hero!! God bless you and all of those people that help get these furbabies healthy. You are living the life I've always wanted... helping save cats. I love cats and it's quite obvious that you do too. Heart felt thank you for all you do. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all you do to take care of these community cats! Really touches my heart ❤️
The squeaky black one would be coming home with me, for sure. She looks lovely.
Her kitten was adorable! Like a little floofy tiger😁
Yes!! I fell in love with her too! 💖🙆🏻♀️
She has such a cute voice.
She had me ❤ at "Squeak!"
Nice to see that your aunts have an equally good heart 🙂
Your scrubbing of cages looks as at my home if I also include all litter boxes. ;D A pressure washer is a good thing to have! Old aunties are always good to attracting cats.
Well done! It's impossible to thank you enough for what you do for these cats - but THANK YOU! 🤗
Bless you for all you do. Thank you. The world needs more people like you.
When this particular comment comes up (frequently) I always think - BE that person!
Poor cat. He was such in a bad shape. Thank you for helping him 😊
It's truly a blessing how generous and kind you have been, and in all that you continue to do for these innocent victims 💖 ensuring their well being and much much happier lives 😘
Absolutely fantastic changes of cats before and after apaying and neutering. Putting on weight, becoming more peaceful and calm. And keep enjoying life. Thank you for all you are doing for these cats !!!
You are just the absolute best! We've never met or even spoken, but I can say with all my heart I love you for what you do for these animals. 🥰
Wishing a multitude of blessings upon you and your family for your selfless work on behalf of helpless cats and kittens. Thank you! 😻
You guys have helped so many cats!!!! We have four rescued feline family members. Our latest was a neighborhood stray female (vet thinks she's about a year old). Like yours, she showed up in our backyard bone-thin and scared. She's doing great in our house now! She's all dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and scheduled to be spayed in March. She came into heat this past week and yikes, such yowling 24 hours a day. All our spayed and neutered cats think she's gone mad! 🙀
I do not know why...I often cry watching your videos...thinking about how cruel world is around us. And you manage to make it better saving and helping stray cats. My absolute love to you and all your family.
You are such an inspiration for animal activism and wellness. All that you do for your own cats and for the neighborhood kitties is nothing short of astounding in your tireless dedication and creativity. Thank you.
It is so absolutely important to TNR and to care. Care for living creatures and show compassion and HELP. Knowing that there are still people out there who do exactly this, is heartwarming. Thank you for all the effort and responsible acting. I will keep my fingers crossed for the male cat to get trapped for TNR. My thoughts are with you, your furry and non furry family. :)
Even better to TN and find a loving home, but so sadly, that is so difficult. Even just ok homes, are few and far between. I was on another site, where somebody was TNR and building warm little homes for ferals, and 2 individuals abused the person doing it, saying they were despicable for preventing cats from having babies. This is so sadly, the mentality of so many people. You can give them facts, but one at least, had their opinion due to religion. And I suspect, very limited education. But it is astounding that in 2022, there are people still with those attitudes. No doubt wives are not allowed access to any way to limit their fertility, either. This channel is always calming, gentle, soft hearted, kind. A place to come to rest a sad heart.
You're a hero, there's no other word for it. Thank you so much for everything that you're doing!
I FORGOT TO SAY THANK YOU, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ENOUGH FOR THE WONDERFUL AND LOVING THINGS YOU DO ❤️
U r a superhero 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Your home is almost like a sanctuary for strays at this point
“Almost?!”
I just wish someone would have just sat and HELD him for hours. So glad he was rescued though. It is a good person who cares for the “least of these.” Bless you and all your kitties! And PS: I LOVE that one white whisker! Lol
Thank you for this update! You REALLY take this cat-rescue thing serious! Wow and all the best!
So amazing to watch the care you give to these stray cats and giving them a better and safer life that they all certainly deserve. So much love and respect. These videos always brighten my day. Thank you 💙🙏🐈⬛🐾
I love how the spayed girls are all plumped up and happy. 😻 and the black Tom cat is so much healthier and happier too. You're an awesome cat dad and dog dad too! Walter's so fluffy and cute! 🐶
I guess I didn’t realize how much I needed a sad/happy cry today. Very cathartic. I respect and adore you so much that I can’t quite articulate my admiration adequately. Thank you so very much for caring and doing. The world is infinitely more tolerable with you in it. 💖
Well said !
@@randyinchesapeake8129 Kind of you to say. Thank you Randy

It’s so wonderful your family is helping to care for these cats. ❤️
Nice that his two Aunts live next door to each other.
Love them all dearly. Precious living souls. Amazed by the time, cost and effort that you dedicate to saving and caring for so many of these lovelies.
The black fighter cat was so sweet and cooperative during treatment, I think he knew you were helping him! I'm so happy he was nursed back to health, thank you for all your kindness! I wish him and all the other kitties featured in this video a happy and healthy life! ❤ Hopefully we'll have the chance to keep seeing them through your lenses every now and then 😊
You are such a good and kind Father and Friend to all cats. Thank you for the work you do. 😻
Thank you for all you do for these cats.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! ❤ from 🇨🇦
The poor guy couldn't smell his food at first with all that crap on his nose, no wonder he didn't want to eat. Thank you for everything you did for him. You are an angel.
Some many kitties needing help. Glad you are who you are.
Ohhh poor baby 😭 I’m so happy that you’re there to care for all these precious kitties. They all look so much healthier 🤍😻
Thank you for all you do for the cats.
Our community just started a spay release program here. They will be released back where they are found if they are too ferel to be adopted. They will no longer be euthanized. Thank you for your empathy and care for these cats.♡
What a beautiful place. Thank you for being so kind to these cats!
I was really worried about all the strays during the snow storm of two weeks ago. Hope they all are doing fine
Yes indeed. I followed Adorable Paws (Istanbul) and he made a few videos about this - the stray cats and dogs. They did awesome work helping the animals during that terrible weather. I hope Walter Santi will tell us his experiences about that time.
@@jeandixon586 I'm glad to hear that! I was so worried, in Turkey and Greece are so many strays and both countries had major snow storms
It's so good to see the before & after shots of those cats, they look amazing now, just shows you what a difference it makes to their bodies when you get them neutered!! That black & white one (neighbor's cat) turned out so cute 😍 These cats are so lucky to get this love & help from you, & you deserve all support you are given ❤ 💙 ♥ 😊 💖 💜
Definitely agree with people who respect and honor the work you, your family, friends and others do within your community.
May many blessings come to your family for the love you have and the care you give.
Bless you for all you continue to do for these cats. ❤
I have said it before, I will say it forever: God has a special place in Heaven for people who rescue and heal animals. You will be blessed beyond measure. I thank you again and again for your kindness and healing measures for these cats. God keep you in His Grace.
You are the best of human beings.
God bless you always, dear human ... you are an angel in my book !!! ♥♥♥
You are so kind❤️🤗
Thankyou for being a caring & responsible Human. Seeing that these care medically cared for & neutered/sprayed. We need millions more like you Walter (the dog & Santi the white cat) . Most people could care less.
Well done for your work of keeping down the population of unwanted kittens. A shame there are not more people like you in this world to do this for the animals that would otherwise suffer so much sickness and fear filled lives. You are an awesome human Walter Santi.
Thank you and bless you. Those female cats looks so different. That is all because of your love and dedication n You are amazing. X
Poor sweet cat😿♥️ thank you for helping him and thank you for taking care of so many other cats. You have such a kind an loving heart. God bless you.❤️
You and your family are most probably legendary in cat circles.
Poor baby looks miserable. Thank you for your kindness.
Oh this is difficult to watch but I must watch because I know with Walter Santi there will most likely be a happy ending. It's so beautiful to witness a community of people who are looking out for these homeless cats. What a good kitty to have endured so much time in a hospital and not be too angry at humans. It's almost like they know that a human is not the enemy. What a heartwarming vlog! Thank you for sharing and as always, my prayers to your beautiful family and your extended community of cat lovers who are there to help these animals and each other!!! Bless the gang, all the strays, Walter the dog and Santi, Indy and Chewy!.❤️👏🙏😻🤗
I just love before and afters with anything..make up, Haircuts, weight loss and in this case, cats ! These poor females get pregnant so often their bodies must be so deficient nutritionally. Poor things. What you do for them is so wonderful! You're an amazing human ❤ ♥
Thank you for all your hard work dedication, generosity of spirt - I'm so impressed - all the kitties look so much healthier and chonky after they're spayed and no more kittens being born into a horror life of starvation and hurt - thank you 😊
Thank you so much for sharing videos of other distressed cats that come along your path. I so appreciate the compassion and care you show toward these precious kitties. Love and light to you and yours. Blessings. ❤🐱🐈🐈🐈🐈
Bless you for all you have done for many years. 🙏
Thank you so much for all you do for each and every precious kitty. You are amazing ❤️
I hope there are more kind hearted people like you....more humane!!!
