No one wanted this cat, so I adopted him.
I adopted a cat and realized everything I thought I knew about them was wrong. In this video, I'm sharing my whole journey from the first week to what I've learned, and how Bepo is doing now.

Giving the older cat a chance truly warms my heart !
🤍🤍
Am a cat expert or whisperer if you will. And I sense the cat hates it there and wants to leave
@@miamijefe7793how
my cat is 8 and we got her abt 3 months ago. she is a total love bug, she loves climbing on peoples laps, laying on your chest, her favorite part of the day is bud duh buh bummmmm FOOD! She is so soft and very sweet. she gives you little gestures if she just wants some love or affection.
I am an "older cat" so i relate to bepo! Long may he thrive! thank you for adopting him!
Thank you for giving Bepo a home!! He seems so utterly grateful and happy to have found a home of his very own with you guys!
We’re so happy to have him home with us ❤️🥹
@@Hangtw looks to me more like the cat adopted you... that's how it tends to be with cats! 🤔 - Awesome stuff, Bepo and you make a purr-fect match fur sure! 😁
It's ok, he called me and told me that he was so grateful.

@xefeishtar3871 that emoji is a dog not a cat emoji
Part of the charm of cats is that you have to earn their love and trust; they’re not hardwired to please you like dogs are. So every moment they choose to snuggle with you or play with the toy you chose is special. Thanks for making sure Bepo has a loving home!
So right!
I'm so glad you gave Bepo a home! Senior cats (especially those with disabilities) usually are in the shelter for a long time, people are always looking for kittens which I can understand but senior cats are so much more chill!! You'll never have to deal with its rebellious teenage phase and just enjoy their chill calmness
Indeed, kittens & their antics are delightfully entertaining, fun, and heartwarming. As I myself age however, I am aware of my own ‘slowing down’ and heightened ‘chill’ desires. It now seems an older kitty and I could do well together……and we can watch videos of crazy kittens :)) This is the first time in 34 years I have not had a pair of kitties ~~ New Year 2024 seems primed for new feline home-buddies 😻
It's the same with dogs. Some people are treating their pets like fast fashion once the pets are old/sick/disabled or the people are too busy for pets. Many pets aren't going to stay cute forever.
You also don’t have to nail everything in the house down or pack up all your good dishes and breakable art, hide your jewelry, remember to not leave knives or anything else he could hurt himself with and, by the way, if you have blinds with hanging chords keep them securely coiled up and out of reach of your cat. They can easily get hung up while jumping down or playing with them, etc. Just happen to a friend. She lost her sweet boi-cat. Anyway, senior cats are GREAT cats to have.
It’s no surprise why Bepo chose you, you are a super adorable human that just radiates positive energy!
and so kind, compassionate and caring.
SOBBING while one of my cats is curled up next to me- I always adopt adult cats and they all have been such an incredible blessing in my life
I'm crying too. Senior cats are the BEST.
🥺❤️🫶🏻 they deserve so much love
❤❤❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢
I what a cutie. Cats (and other animals) have really changed my life in unexpected ways.
I recommend you get him a wider and shallow bowl for him to eat from because of his whiskers (cats prefer to not have their whiskers touching the bowl when eating) So happy you adopted and gave him a home
Yes!
Came here to say this.
I've loved and owned cats most of my 85 years. This is the best 'adopt a cat' video I've seen. Actually one of the best CAT VIDEOS on the web. Love you for your quick understanding of your Beppo's needs and likes. You are an excellent cat mom!
My heart just melts when I see things like this. I adopted a cat from a shelter in similar circumstances. She came from a hoarder house and is blind in one eye. I fell so in love with her that I just couldn't even fathom leaving without her.
❤️
Awww, that's priceless. 😻💞💕
I just love how us humans melt when we see these cats. So much love. I can't wait to adopt in the future
❤ right move.
One tip: since Bepo is a semi-long haired cat, you really need to make sure you brush him regularly so he doesn’t get all matted, it also slightly helps the inevitable cat fur all over everything :)
agree! i would even recommend maybe going to a cat groomer every now and then to get his booty hairs shaved. easier to avoid him getting poopy butt if he has shorter hair.
If you buy a baby hair trimmer (they make less noise) it's not too bad shaving back there real quick. I do my longhaired girl every few months with very minimal fuss if I don't take too long. @@peenprincess
Agreed - especially as they get older and groom themselves less! I kept my cat's brush in the bathroom since he always liked hanging out with me in there when I'm on the golden throne. That way I always made time to brush him every day and he stopped getting matts. RIP my long-haired soul kitty.
@@suetyk OMG! I'm so sorry that U lost ur Kitty 🕊️🕊️
This is why I love older cats. They're so relaxed and calm.
I am a firm believer in "when the animal picks you, you don't argue". Bepo found his person. Thank you for listening to him.
It's sad to hear how a lot of young people are suffering with anxiety ,but I'm glad he helped you and you helped him by adopting him.
society
when bepo "massages" you i've been told that it means he thinks of you as like a mother figure because thats what kittens do to get milk from their mom...its really adorable
cats knead when theyre relaxed/happy and to spread their scent since their paw pads have scent glands!
Kneading and the motor going 100mph is normal for a happy feline
Bepo definitely knew she was The One and made sure to get his scent all on her and show her that he will love her unconditionally. Sometimes it isn't that the people didn't pick Bepo but rather he wasn't really all that impressed with them and didn't do the affectionate display like at the beginning of the vid when she met him. I'm so glad Bepo has a loving home to live out his golden years!
❤ Y'all are ADORABLE!🐈🐱💯
I have had much experience with cats. And they do think of you as thier child and them there parent! I have an older cat. And I love her so so much. She is always in my lap or laying next to me or "cleaning" me. She has always been by my side and helped me through tough times. I dred the day of losing my sweet Sofie, but enjoy every minute I have with her. Cats are the best. I like dogs as well I just can't have one here! Thank you for saving Beppo! High regards. Enjoy your life together❤❤

Pfff...

and?
Who are the blind and uncaring folks who wouldn't want a cat like that? Smh. Every stray deserves a home with folks who will give them the love they deserve. Thank you for opening your home to Bepo! I'm sure he's very loving and grateful for your love
It’s not always that someone is blind and uncaring. Don’t assume bad things about people. A lot of people need a pet that they have a chance of having a longer time with, and even though it’s never guaranteed that they won’t get sick along the way, not everyone can take on the true emotional challenge of adopting elder animals. We should encourage people to adopt whether they want a baby, a teen, an adult, or an elder.
My cats actually motivate me to clean way more often than I would normally do because I can tell they hate mess and are uneasy in it. Also, they motivate me to have a regular sleep schedule, which is awesome for my wellbeing and productivity 💯
Yes!! I feel you on that 👏🏻👏🏻
I can tell you two are amazing pet owners from the fact he was making little biscuits on day 4! That’s a crazy fast time for a cat to warm up to a new home and family. Thank you guys for giving him a home, elderly cats are so often overlooked so it’s a beautiful thing to see one get a family 😸💖
He was on day 2
Jesus loves you he is coming back so repent before it is too late!❤

Thank you for adopting this Bepo!!! Senior cats are so loving and grateful. Thank you for opening your heart and home to him 🙏❤️
So sweet! Aren't you glad you were open to having your heart touched by this angel of a fur baby? You really lucked out with Beppo because not all cats are cuddly like he is.
Came across this video randomly and I appreciate that you're advocating for adoption from shelters (not shopping) + giving older cats a chance too! Bepo was a perfect choice for you and it shows! 🐱
🥹❤️
sameee
Congrats on being a cat mom! 🐱
Thank you 🥰❤️
Thank you for adopting Beppo when no one wanted adopt Beppo. You're amazing
@@Hangtwnow he needs a brother lol 😊
The “cat distribution list” got you & the rest is history! What a heartwarming story. ❤
Who else thinks bepo is a total angel🥹🥹🥹
Thank you for adopting an older cat!🧡
I wanted an older cat for my little dog but a needy stray kitten found me. All my cats have been adopted strays. She's sweet and beautiful, a ragdoll or at least part. I love her but still would have preferred an older mellow cat, she's cray cray!
Older cats do not have to be litter trained or socialized which are benefits often overlooked. They are also less likely to be mischievous or hyper if you prefer a calm home.
My boyfriend and I were in the same boat as you and Kyle! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love them so much, but always had a huge misconception about cats. My boyfriend has always dreamed of a dog, but the rental we moved into, cats were the only pets allowed. We gave the cat shelter a go because we 1. Wanted to give a cat a new lease on life, and 2. Thought maybe it would be easier to start with an adult cat. I thought it would be hard to choose one, but this sweet and affectionate black cat came up to us and we were also told he had trouble being adopted because he was black and 13 years old! :( It’s been 1.5 years now and Lucius is one of the best things that’s happened to us. You’re so right about all the misconceptions - cats are incredibly clean (cleaning themselves, low maintenance), can be so gentle and loving, and an amazing best friend. Ours is also very vocal and likes talking to us. Learning about cats has been such a cool experience and my opinion has forever changed about them! So happy that you guys now know cat love - I’ve heard from so many cat friends that you don’t choose the cat, the cat chooses you ❤
That is so so sweet 🥹 thank you for sharing your story with Lucius and giving him a loving family ❤️ I’m so glad I got to experience this kind of love for cats too!
Awee!!
❤❤❤❤❤
My cats will even tell me where I dropped something or when something doesn’t belong.
i aint reading allat
Thank you for giving this beautiful creature a home. He’s so fluffy!! Being a cat Mom is the best 🫶🐱
I've had 4 older cats and i can reccomend it they learn your ways just like a kitten would, don't be put off taking on an older cat you will love it just as much as a kitten.
Bless you for adopting an older cat!! Kittens get all the love and attention, but older cats are honestly the best. So chill and sweet and easy to care for.
We adopted an older cat who was VERY friendly in the shelter, but then at home she hid for a while, just like Bepo, but then she came out of her shell. And she was a complete lover eventually. Also, please show Bepo the KZhead channel called Kitten Academy because it is a great show for cats. Chris and Dr. DJ run the academy.
Me and my misses had the same thing happen to us , we saw a couple of posts of a shelter not to far from us here in belgium , there was a younger 2 year old cat that lost an eye , but it was a sweetheart , we couldn't resist our little pirate cat and took him home , they also said that nobody wanted him because of the eye
Bepo is an absolutely GORGEOUS BOI!!! Wow! You hit the motherlode because he’s sweet, cute and playful, too! And drop dead gorgeous!
As a fellow new Asian catmom (our 6-year-old tuxedo cat Lily ended up in a shelter twice before we adopted her), I feel you. It's quite the journey! The Litter Robot is really fancy, but it's actually huge and not great for our tiny apartment. Nice touch watching Haikyuu, y'all have great taste! All the same, I wish you, your fiance and Bepo all the best.😻
Awww too cute, now you need another one!! 😂
A little tip, don't give them bowls that are too high for their food, a lot of cats don't like that because of their whiskers. And also thank you for giving Bepo a home. ❤
I agree. I feed Furnando out of shallow bowls which are low to the ground and curved not square corners like a box. He does not like trying to lick food out of corners. Filling them more often gives me more control over his appetite and weight. I also add a few tooth cleaning treats to the bottom of every bowl.
They also like their bowls wide for the same reason ( their whiskers ).
yeah, i even used plate lol
Yes, in the wild they don’t eat out of containers so shallow saucers vs deep whisker (sensor) cramping bowls will fare much better.
He’s so lucky to have you as much as you are lucky to have him. I pray you have a long loving life with him. He’s just beautiful ❤
Bless your heart for giving this sweet baby a home!❤️❤️❤️
You’re such a nice person, giving Bepo a second chance in life.
Bepo is such a gift in your household. So happy for all 3 of you. Our family always have cats - no allergy issues with the young ones - and yes, the older cats are calmer in temperament & a lot more loving especially when they know they are now a part of the family. Always loved cats and will always love them - ALL.
Thank you so much 🫶🏻❤️ my mind is forever changed about them. I’m full on cat mother now 🤣
@@Hangtw😂
Correction: The humans is part of the cats family XD.
This made my heart so happy. I wish every cat had a happy loving home. I teared up when I saw how he looks at you while you were sleeping. He's so grateful and loves you so much. Thank you for sharing. I hope this video makes people save older shelter cats ❤❤
He's way to cute...I'd take him in a heart beat. Ur amazing for showing him love. He will never forget what u did for him!❤❤
What a sweet kitty! Thank you for giving Bepo a forever home 🐱
❤😸❤😸❤😸❤
Bepo is so adorable. so happy you adopted him
Yes! I share the same sentiment as many others here. Thank you for giving him a home. He will reward you with endless love & loyalty. It’s great having a kitten you bond with but a senior or special needs cat or dog will love you just as much if not more. I love people who adopt the “misfits.” They’re like the misfit toys from Rudolph. People who do that are special. I’m a huge Cat & Dog Daddy. I lost my two kitties last year which I am still reeling from. Chip lived 16 years & Calvin lived 13 but I secretly hoped they’d live 20+ years. Every minute with them is special & giving them a home make you a special human. If more people were pet lovers the world would be a merrier place. I can barely go to the shelter because I want to adopt all of them. I plan to adopt 2 new cats - maybe a mix of a kitten & some senior but kittens can drive seniors nuts, we’ll see. I wish I was a millionaire because I’d adopt 20 cats & dogs & live like a crazy pet person🙂 They are gifts to humanity & one of the best things in this life. Thank you for giving Bepo a loving home. You rock!
Thank you soooo much for giving Bepo a forever home!! Clearly he found his humans and yall are the best for giving him the best life.
Girl, he adopted you! This is beautiful.
Thank you for showing us what an aged cat's perks are. It is hard for them to get adopted, I hope this video will change people's opinions about adopting senior cats. ❤
Thank you for giving this sweet kitty a loving home. You are very special people!❤❤❤
Thank you for taking care of him! That's so sweet of you!
Thank you for giving Bepo the chance he deserved. I cant tell you how much we all appreciate to see all the comfort and attention you have given him when he needed it the most. You are the best kind of person, Thank you for sharing him with us! As a fellow adult kit rescuer, I cant relate to what you said enough. It is such a rewarding feeling with all the affection and comfort an older cat can provide.
people who adopt older animals are just the best, it makes my heart squeeze ❤
Bepo's story is such a beautiful and inspirational journey... thank you for adopting him and giving him a loving and caring home...Bepo is so gorgeous and precious.....
Your video makes me cry a bit but of joy ! So glad that this cute cat has finally found his forever home ! You guys are the best cat parents possible 😍! You have tried really hard to understand how to acclimate him and make him as happy as possible! Thanks for giving him the best family ever ❤️🥰✨
this is so cute😭 i’m happy that he got a home!
Happy to have him here 🥰
that's so sweet that you adopted an older cat
They’re sooo sweet 🥹
❤❤❤❤❤
So happy for him!❤ All cats deserve to be loved! And its so true they bring so much joy!
What a wonderful story! Thank you for giving precious Bepo a chance❤❤❤
Bepo is gorgeous.Having a cat share their home with you is a blessing! Cats are magical creatures. Loved watching him gradually settle and now your home is his home ❤
One of the best things you had that allowed this to happen, was patience. You had the patience to allow Bepo the time he needed to adjust, and the patience to discover and mesh with Bepo's particular personality. Thank you for giving Bepo a home, and to give him all the love he deserves; as well as excepting all his quirks along with the endless love he gives in return.
you are really good people with a open Heart. You saved this Cat's Life. We need more people like you in the World!
This is an incredible video to advocate for adopting adult or special kitties. This has my heart bursting! You are so sweet! And so helpful to those who may be unsure about owning a kitty. Great job!! I was just so melted by Beppo I had to go love on my sweet Dora. Cats are such a blessing. I adopted both of mine and I love them so much. ❤❤❤
Awww he’s adorable! How could anyone not want that cutie? I’m happy you’re taking good care of him though! 🫶🏼💞
right! how could nobody want him😢 i’m glad he’s found his forever home 🏡
I think of it as he was just waiting for me 🥺
@@Hangtw this is actually so tear jerking omg 😭
Thank you for adopting him!!! Literally love cats, just got an automatic feeder for mine and was a total game changer too ❤️
Omg yesss the automatic feeder is amazing. Bepo loves hanging around by it 😂 never late for a meal
So glad Bepo found a home with you! Lovely story. ❤
Thank you so much for saving him. ❤ Lets be compassionate to these poor and innocent animals. We are their only hope. Lers take care of them.
Bepo is one lucky cat to have you and Kyle come into his shelter that day!
I think we’re the ones who got lucky 🥹 he’s the best boy
❤❤❤❤❤
This is so cute I love Bepo already 😭 It's so nice to see elderly cats being brought home from shelters. But one piece of advice I have is that when playing with the laser toy make sure to give him a treat at the end because I've heard that lasers can be very frustrating for cats since they aren't able to actually 'catch' the red dot. After playing with the laser you should let Bepo "catch" the dot which you have directed to the treat. It gives them a sense of catching pray and makes them less agitated! :)
The content I needed to see today🥺🥺 thank you for choosing to adopt! You are such an amazing person💗💗
Thanks for sharing your adventures with a mature cat, and hopefully your tale will inspire others to follow your lead and take an older cat into their lives. It is a double blessing.
Love seeing senior cats being adopted. Y’all are awesome ❤❤❤
It’s so cute and funny to see new cat parents! Thank you for giving Bepo a wonderful, loving home. 🐾🐾♥️
I'm so glad abepo returned ! You both are so cute with this video Good for you for adopting Bepo.
Thankyou for loving such a wonderful cat, he will change your life in all good ways....God bless you
Older cats and kittens always provided me with emotional and physical therapy. When we pet or stroke a cat, it causes a release of oxytocin in both humans and our animal companions, which can also reduce pain. Thanks for giving him a chance. People don't know what they're missing.
My oldest cat is 22 and she is the sweetest little thing on this Earth (her name is actually Sweetie), thank you so much for giving this baby a chance!
Good job in giving this cat a fresh start in life. Blessings!!
This most wholesome video I’ve seen in so long 😭❤️ bless you, sweet girl
Aww thank you for giving Bepu a family and a home. I'm a rescuer and wish I could save aaalll animals, but sadly, that's impossible. This made me smile the whole time I was watching your video. It's hard enough for strays to get a new home, let alone old and sick furbabies. I'm sure he's grateful to you for choosing him, and even more sure that your lives are much better with Bepu in it.
Just a tiny tip Cats don’t like to have their whiskers touch the sides of a dish since these are their sensors so serving his food on a flat saucer vs a deep bowl would make him so much happier! You’re doing an amazing job as his mom! ❤
Thank you for sharing your Wonderful story about your new cat experience! God bless you for giving Bepo a home.
God bless you a million times and gives you all the love you deserve. Thank you for adopting this little furry one.
Thanks for giving Bepo a loving home. It is evident that he brings you much happiness. I am so glad he chose you and you gave him a chance!
I just want an entire channel dedicated to Bepo and how he loves his forever parents! 🐾♥️
this melted my heartttt, pleasee upload more of Bepo! i would absolutely love to see more videos of this adorable cat!!
OMG, you all are too adorable, and the genuine love you have shown for your furbaby is simply beautiful. You are all so lucky to share such a magnificent bond.
It's awesome to see how Bepo changed your life and insightful to hear the perspective of somebody who never had a pet and had misconceptions about the experience. I LOVE cats, particularly adult and senior kitties and I thank you for showing the world how great adult/older cats can be. Cats are very special creatures; they can be amazing teachers and companions if we allow it; and they will enhance our lives by their very nature. Thank you for being open to something new and for sharing your story and inspiring others!😺

Was not expecting to get emotional from this video 😭 thank you adopting bepo

He looks sooo sweet! 😻 Like a mix between a little lion and a big teddy bear! And he's such a kind and friendly soul. Thank you for giving him a home! Great job!
It's always heartwarming to see a cat getting adopted and bonding with it's owners. It always melts my heart and I'm glad you 3 found each other. I've also had multiple cats for roughly 25 or so years. They are great.
Both you and Bepo are lucky to have found each other! And he is so handsome, loving - what more could you ask for??? Really great to see!
He's beautiful and you've both done really well to make him feel safe and loved
He's sooooo cute! I love how big and fluffy he is! Thank you for adopting him! He looks super happy and loved 🥰
I can only congratulate you on being openminded and adoting him with the understanding of cats you had before! Very happy for all of you, especially Bepo! Only one note: id recomend getting a lower bowl for feeding him because a cats whiskers are very sensitive and they usually prefer to eat from a dish without touching it with whiskers :)
You’re Awesome!! I’m so happy you adored a pet from the shelter!!!❤️
Bepo looks awesome and in good health, he will probably around for months and months to come! Big high fiive for putting your heart on the line, thats why many dont adopt elderly cats, they cant handle the heartache.
