She was probably the love of Bruiser's life as well. So glad his last 4 years were filled with love and compassion.
Yes, she definitely gave him a better life and longer one. I am glad 😊 she adopted her animals and teach her children how to love them also.
So Beautiful and sad. I have a semi feral cat that looks just like him. I’m wanting to retire far away but want to take him with me. Not sure how to manage this. Bruiser will be waiting for you on the other side🌈🙏💖
Absolutely!! I'm sure in his mind the day he met her and walked up to her to hug her was like love at first sight, probably broke his lil heart when they had to pry him off her. At least he got 4 good years with a loving and understanding family. He was probably ready for his fight with that horrible sickness to over with and spent a beautiful day with someone he loved.
😻😻😻😻😹😹😹😹😹😿😿😿😿😿💋💋💋💋💞💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad that this wonderful lady didn't listen to her stupid husband and did what was right.
"And that room is completely empty now. All of those cats have been adopted." That was just wonderful to hear.
Lets' just hope it's not the shitty type temporarily adopting them for "covid comfort". People like that disgust me.
@@Cloverkitty Me, too!! We live in such a throw-away, cancel society!!
I am so very sorry for your loss! It's so hard to lose a darling little pet, even if you knew that your time was limited!! I completely understand about Bruiser cuddling into your neck, because I have a darling little kitty who does the same thing, and it must have felt so very sad to feel Bruiser cross the Rainbow bridge!! God bless you for all that you did and felt for dear Bruiser. I truly believe that you will see him again, all well and happy, running around Heaven, never to part!!
We had a stray leukemia cat come stay with us. She was at death's door when we found her on our property. The vet said she would last only a few weeks and did we want to make her comfortable until then. That was seven years ago. She outlived all their expectations and had a wonderful healthy 7 years with us almost perfect health. We just lost her a few weeks ago at the age of 16 to kidney failure, it was devastating. Love you forever Koshka. She also looked like Bruiser! Except she had long hair. :)
Bless you for giving her a wonderful life!
So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful soul you have.
Thank you for taking care of her.
that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us
What blessings to have her 7 years with you. Thank you for taking her into your heart & home.
My rescue kitten tested positive yesterday. This video brought me hope. The shelter said we could return him and I told them we wouldn’t give up on him, we’re keeping him. Just bought the little guy a 6ft cat tree and some supplements to help support his immune system. His name is Tweeto, he is an orange tabby. I love him so much and am honored to care for him❤
❤❤
You are an angel! After seeing this video, why would anyone want to not adopt one of these kitties? They deserve love and care for as long as they can.
I did the same, could you offer some advice regarding the supplements you use. My vet couldn't give me a satisfactory answer unfortunately.
Hope your cat is doing well... thank you for keeping it and giving it the love and home it deserves.
Fortiflora is a good supplement in general. There's now some new treatment for leukemia, your vet should be able to tell you more. As far as I know not all cats are good candidates and it's extremely expensive. As long as they are symptom free they'll lead a completely normal life.
The fact that she not only helped Bruiser, she went back to find homes for all the other leukemia cats, is so heartwarming
That was the one question that really made me happy to hear the answer to. I was hoping she was going to say something about those 11 other cats!
Lovely person with a beautiful heart❤️😻❤️
@@lifeonthego8948 100%!!!💜💜💜
A REAL ANGEL.
Yes!
I'm crying....but at least he was happy for 4 whole years. He sure was adorable.
I’m crying too 🥹🥲🥺
@Metal Fan Please don't say that. We don't know the reasons.
@Metal Fan Don't say that. They had several kids and two cats already, all of which is a huge amount of work and costs a lot; it's not unreasonable for him to think a new family member would be too much - and one with a serious medical condition who would inevitably be chronically hospitalized at that. As an extreme cat lover, I'm obviously on the mother's side and think she did the right thing by just bringing the little one home regardless, but don't insult her husband. There's nothing to suggest he's not a cat lover himself and obviously, he accepted it and made it work once his wife made the call.
I'm crying too 😢
Suffering cats should be euthanized but you want to play hero and prolong the pain ... Truly disturbing and selfish! Bye 👋
Her kids were so sweet and gentle around Bruiser, I get so scared when small children are around animals but the moment her son walked upto him with a bowl and said "Do you want some food to make you strong?" and fed him, it warmed my heart. Very sweet family 💚
3:30 timestamp 💓
All parents should be required to teach their children about compassion and empathy but so few do. This is a shining example of parenting done right! These children will teach their children and the world will be a better place because of Bruiser. I'll keep this video forever!
That's because their mother taught them to be sweet and gentle around animals. What a lovely lady 💕
I’m crying my eyes out. What a beautiful person and lovely story.
Made me weep too.
Glad I’m not the only one. I’m in tears!! 🥺
I'm dying inside when her voice started to crack. He is not suffering anymore. And your love and the family you gave him.... Eased him to rest. Rip kitty. You have a good heart and he knows it.
😭 😿 😢
Yes exactly ❤️😢
Me too, her meow just broke me to pieces , and I am happy he received this love and felt accepted and worthy and loved , I’m just so moved and with tears and emotions but like you said now he is heaven with good angles who make sure he is happy and healed completely
My 17 carot/red cat died of leukemia 4 years ago, it was horrible. His sister is still kicking at almost 21y...
She was holding him when he passed. We should all be so lucky to be held with love when it's our time.
I was holding my cat when she died last year. I'm so thankful I was there with her 'till her last breath.
@@stepheng.robert7262 im so sorry.❤
Her dear cat look like mine..😢 Exactly the same, passed away Jan 2022 also but my cat of 4 yrs passed away due to heart disease.😭 He also didnt like to mix with other cats. He wanted to jump on my moms bed so i hold him up, sat dwn on the bed and hug him close to me.. Watching him close while im crying, he feels uncomfortable, struggled for a moment, gasping for few secs…and finally in his last breath……….😭😭😭 I wan to mit my cat in Jannah….😭😭😭
🥺😿💔💕
What she is teaching her kids is just gold ❤
Generations of Future Angels.
“ he was one of the greatest gifts in my life” this touched my soul , I felt her grief & I broke down in tears 😭 …my cats are everything to me
That part got me. I know full well the pain of losing beloved Cats. RIP to all those sweet angels ;(
Got me too
This woman is my hero! My heart did a flip when she said the leukemia room was empty! ❤️
Hello Pamela how are you doing today.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Rest In peace went over the Rainbow bridge family that Loved him thanks for videotaped
Heart of gold!
She is teaching her kids a great lesson and helping those sick cats this woman is a angel
Love is a powerful medicine and it is the best medicine. thank you for giving these cats many years of weeks of a loving family
She is teaching every one a great lesson. That these sweet souls who have been abandoned by the families and let down by humanity are sweet little creatures who needs compassion and love and that they are well worth all the time and love that we can give them
Her "husband" should recognize this and praise her for it.
All of the lost, all of the forgotten, should be treated with the dignity and love that Bruiser was gifted in the golden years of his life. This video made me cry happy tears.
This lovely lady and Bruiser have a special place in Heaven. I can't stop crying.
Bruiser fought to live and love. He could have curled up in a corner of that shelter and given up, never approaching his would-be mom that very first time. He fought to find a human that would love him and that he could love back, and he indeed found that. Rest in Peace, Bruiser. Your story and your loved ones live on.
Precious baby
Eloquently said 💕
IM CRYING
butterandjamtoast, Thank you, you must realize that cats, more than other "animals" are Cat people just like we are only the body is different
"He had just been failed by people time & time again". His purr literally vibrated his love & gratitude to her for giving him a happy, loving home for four years.
This Lady is like an Angel on Earth .. She not only gave Bruiser a beautiful life with her, she helped all those other leukemia cats get adopted as well .. And now her children are learning how loving such cats can be and will be very compassionate adults .. Thank you, GeoBeats, for sharing this incredible rescue story 💞💞💞💞
I knew I was going to cry but I didn't think it'd be this much. I'm so happy that he got to know love and have a family too. this was a sad but beautiful story.
@@locabynature I felt the same way, my friend 💞💞💞
@@LostHorizon52 ❤️
And what about the husband? No one talks about him
@@user-me7iw6ft8z well obviously, he came around or Bruiser wouldn't have stayed with them : she'd have found an adopter like she did the other sick cats.
Cats have such deep souls. She healed Bruiser's heart, and I am sure he healed a part of her. Love is eternal even with our animals. One of the greatest blessings in life.
I am so thankful to this woman. I've been around cats with leukemia, and it's sad to watch them deteriorate before your eyes. It's always awesome to see someone make a difference for animals that desperately need it. I doubt he'd made it 4yrs if she didn't take him. And on top of that she got all the other sick cats homes as well! An awesome person for sure. Thanks for the great story!
Beautifully said. This woman is an angel.
Well that story just sucked the life out of me , I can't believe I'm sobbing for a cat i never knew
Same
Me too crying my eyes out 😔
27neverlose 💕 love will do that to you.
Still crying 😢
Im laughing because that's exactly what I did too!! Cry about a cat I never knew. 😢
I’m sure having a family to love him gave bruiser a reason to hang on as long as he did
Agreed
Story made me cry😢, but I am glad that you adopted him and made him happy for 4 years😊.
100%
Teared so much... But knowing Bruiser is free of pain now, it must be for the best. Thank you for loving him until the very end. Rest easy, Bruiser 🌈🌈🌈
Four years with his family that’s amazing
I put a ton of money into slowing the progression of my cat's cancer this year and she died just under a month ago. It was worth every single dollar to me to have 6 more months with her, she was my little partner and I miss her every single day. When I adopted her 5 years ago, she was a bit older 4-6. Very laid back and lazy, and wasn't too bright, so people passed her up for younger more spunky cats, but I just wanted a couch cat and that's what I got.
May God bless You. You are truly an angel on earth. Love and greetings from sweden
You're amazing Zane , not enough people like you and the woman in this story ! If more people looked at cats the way you both do then we'd have alot less sick and senior and cats that aren't kittens in the shelter. My boyfriend and I have been trying to help the strays in out neighborhood. But what I found out was people are throwing out their cats for all kinds of crazy reasons including 6 month old cats. We've rescued and found homes for about 8 cats so far and foster failed in 3 more !!! Smh!!! But we also have taken neighbors cats and my boyfriend pays when a cat gets sick and they don't have the money . Which is the reason I suppose we'll never be rich the more he makes the more we spend on the outside cats and any sick cats who's owner's don't have it. But I'm OK with that as long as I feel we're doing what we can!!
Sending love and lots of wishes♥️♥️
@@loritipton5800 - You and your boyfriend are both Angels too, thank you for all you do. 🙏🏼🇬🇧
God will bless you
I'm sitting here crying like a baby for a cat I never met. Thank you for giving him a home for his last years. You will be blessed!
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍🥰. Do you have a pet?
Hello Diana how are you doing today.
This story was so emotional. She gave him & he gave her so much love ❤ I'm crying 😢 Bless her for taking on a very sick cat & making his last years feel loved & wanted. 🐈⬛
May Bruiser be at peace. Thank you for taking care of him in his last days.
My heart is breaking, but Bruiser didn't die alone, knowing he loved and was loved..😥
I'm happy she went with her heart, this cat clearly wanted to be with her and she with the cat. Beautiful story! I'm so sorry for your loss, bruiser was so loved by you and that is all he needed. It makes me cry as i lost both my cats in the past year. one looked like bruiser. I know how heavy it feels when losing them .. RIP Bruiser
I am a mess God Bless you 🙏
@@tracyparris1475 I know, 9 months after my cats passed I'm still recovering and having breakdowns. let it all out, it will get easier (that coming out of my mouth is a surprise right now, but true) Much love to you ❤️
@@TheKeystoneChannel your suffering will end only when you get another kitty, trust me
@@oliviawutam No, I have had cats my whole life, I don't just get one, we find each other. for now I do cat sitting for people that go on holiday so it's something, and I'm not over mine yet
You’re a great human! ♥️
His purring said it all. ❤ thank you for loving them all. I laughed when you said shelter asked how did it go with ur husband, and u said you got the GREEN LIGHT 🤣.
This lovely lady gave Bruizer the one thing he was missing the most, love. Thank you very much for enriching his last days.😢🐱👍🇦🇺
4 years is roughly a third of a whole life for an average cat. That's never enough, but it mattered to him a lot.
We dont know how old he originally was.
Yes! Bruiser got to fill his heart with precious love for his family. To belong to anyone. To be needed by someone. This is what keeps us going. This is love. This is love.
The purring is so loving. He clearly knew he was loved and was very happy.
Hard to get past that purr-motor. When they're happy they can really rev it up. I live with seven cats, all indoor and all rescues. I've lost four since I started rescuing cats and the most beautiful sound is that purr when they are happy.
Laurence, you are an extraordinary woman who should be a model for the rest of the world! What you have done for Bruiser and the other leukemia cats is amazing. I was touched by your little boy bringing food to Bruiser, saying (not an exact quote, sorry) "Want some food? So you'll get strong." -- proof that you are also raising extraordinary children by your example. They will save many Bruisers in the future and do other humanitarian things as well, I'm sure. Thank you from me and from my cat Giacomo, both of us mourning the recent loss of his mother Musetta, the most affectionate cat I've ever known.
what a beautiful story...thank you for allowing bruiser to adopt you and giving him his forever home and so much love when he needed it.
Oh my goodness, if this doesn't touch peoples hearts, I don't know what will. What an amazing woman for bringing Bruiser home to be a part of her family. The last 4 years of his life, he knew nothing but love. So so sorry for the loss of Bruiser.
I feel certain he wouldn't have lasted nearly that long in the shelter. She gave him the will to live. So thankful she was able to help all the others too. Amazing what one person can do.
@@JanBee1122 I totally agree. All the love he was given helped him live 4 more years. I was so happy when she said all the other cats with leukemia got adopted too.
Some people don’t have hearts. They’re too selfish and self absorbed to care about others, especially animals. I love people who love animals. And not just as pets, those people who truly love and respect animals. Bless this lady, she’s truly wonderful!
@@lolcatz88 Very true. This was a beautiful story.
This lady has done so much for so many cats. She changed their lives for the better. I respect and appreciate her with my whole heart.
Thank you for giving Bruiser the best 4 years of his life. He left this world feeling nothing the love. What a wonderful life to have lived,
This lady is INCREDIBLE!! She has created such change for Bruiser and all the other cats she has helped.What an amazing person and a fantastic example of humanity Laurence has set for her children.Much love and respect to you❤️🙏🌈😸
I’m so happy that this wasn’t a story about just one cat getting adopted, but that the whole room was rescued. Now that’s a happy ending!
God bless this family, they saved a dozen of cats who would die alone and without experiencing any kind of love, they are so amazing!
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍🥰. Do you have a pet?

@@marcolorenzo00089 EW
Thank you for giving Bruiser the best four years of his life. You are a very special human who had a very special Kitty. 😢❤
This story had me in tears. It was so precious. Bruiser was a lovely cat. And I am happy he found a loving home before he passed.
when she talked about her last day with him i lost it, i knew id cry but damn, "and i felt his little head go limp" hurt hearing. it really makes me rethink how much time i spend with my cat, it makes me both dread and look forward to the next 10+ years. this woman is so amazing, what a saint.
Honestly this is heartbreaking but I lost it when she said about him passing in her arms 🥺😭😭
Years ago my wife & I started "being with them" whenever it was time for one to be put down. I hold them, we both talk to them, let them know we loved them & they're not alone. And when I feel the life go out, it just about turns me inside out, I'm tearing up remembering. But, no matter how gut wrenching it is, we'll always feel it's the right thing to do, they deserve it
I'm forever grateful for people like this. They bring so much love to this world.
agree!! beautiful giving person.
They are one type of good people to the world there is more
Thank You God for bruiser and his mom. She inspired all of us cat lovers
@@tigerwolfpip Yet, there's no denying that animals lovers bring so much love to this world.
Hearing her voice break at the end saying she missed the cat broke me in tears :( You can really tell she really really loved that cat
Bruiser is so beautiful and so are you! Thank you for sharing your love and compassion to Bruiser and all the cats.
When the little boy offered him food “to get strong.” Legit cried.
I watched this back when it came out, my cat had been diagnosed with cancer in January and I knew I didn't have too much time left with her. She passed away in late march, saw this video again on the side and clicked on it. My cat was always hanging out with me, at night I'd put my arm out because she loved to sleep on my shoulder. I miss the weight of her little head there every night, her gentle purr and us sometimes stretching at the same time when we would wake up. I know I should look back at the good times but a heavy & empty chest is what I feel everyday.
So sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. I lost my furbaby in February and still miss her every day. Videos like these bring me comfort as I remember her. Hang in there, friend.
Oh,honey, I am so very sorry for your loss. It is never easy, and the only good thing is you have a heart full of memories. She will always ALWAYS be with you. Hugs and love ❤
@Alex , you get a big hug from me.
Please read the poem Rainbow Bridge It's helped me .
Sorry for the loss of your furbaby. (((Hugs)))
I love his purr and how much love he recieved before passing! Bless you! And his little soul may RIP! ❤❤❤❤
I don’t really like people very much but....... this women is nothing short of an angel. How I wish there were more like her in this world.
Just cried my eyes out. We have had many special needs animals over the years and hopefully gave them as much love and care as Bruiser received. Beautiful story 💖 🐈🐕🐎🐑🐇🦘🐔🦆
Me too. 😇💔
This one hurt a lot.
Me too😭😢🐱💕
Two years ago we found a stray cat in our garden. Nobody knew him or missed him, so we took him in. He has Leukemia, but our other cat is vaccinated against it. This way they can live together without any problems. We have a lot of vet visits behind us. Herpes infection in one eye, surgery and cat flu on a regular basis, but still he is a very happy little guy and i don’t regret taking him in. I hope Mr. Lucky still has many happy years ahead of him. 🥰
Vaccinated against cancer?
@@Crooftop feline leukemia is a virus. It's not the same leukemia as humans get
Hellou, I just adopted a cat with leukemia, my vet is reluctant that the vaccine will protect the other cat that lives in my home. Can you tell me what your experience has been with this? Are your other cats okay? This for me is a struggle, because in my country there is no vaccine, I am fighting to bring one from abroad.
This is heartwarming and sad at the same time. I know what it’s like to have a beautiful kitty with cancer. He wasn’t an ordinary cat either. He was my soul cat. God Bless you and your family, along with Bruiser.
Between Bruisers enthusiastic purring and his right ear sort of leaning off to his right, I absolutely fell for him! Thank you so much for taking him in and assuring him that there is still plenty of love to go around. RIP big boy!!
I'm sure his life span was extended by being adopted into the most loving home. Some humans make up for all the other ones who don't care about animals or other humans for that matter. This lady is an exceptional person. Maybe she just sees Love instead of illness or labels. 💖
4 full years of joy. That’s wonderful. That remote shelter must have thought he had days, maybe weeks. But giving him that love he needed empowered him to live his best life.
This story is so beautiful that I almost got sick. You were his angel. Now he's yours. You are a rare type of human. My condolences for your loss. 💜
Thank you ma'am and family for all the love for Bruiser.. . ❤❤❤
This is so similar to my cat Bob, a stray who had Leukemia too. I only had two years; there could have been no more special soul. He even took walks with my dog and I around the block, and the memory of him sleeping next to my back (what a heating pad that was!) is still with me. He actually looked like Bruiser; gray with green eyes! RIP my Bob; I hope to be with you and Jimmy, May and Davey later, my wonderful boy...
I had an indoor cat never went outside & was never around other cats. One day I saw a stray outside my door & decided to take him in as it was freezing out. They ate out of the same dish & because unbeknownst to me that cat had leukemia and my cat caught it. My vet gave her three months to live but she lived for three years& I truly believe it was because she knew that she was loved so much that that gave her the will to live. ❤️😢
@@sunnydaze2359 Yes, that makes a big difference, in people as well as pets!
You will! Take your time but, you will be with your sweet babies someday!
so sad. What a beautiful kitty, rest in heaven. You gave him a wonderful life for the time he had left.
Giving them a good, happy, love-filled life is the very best we can do for them - that's the only peace there is about losing them at the end - that they felt love and comfort 💖💖💖💖
Thank-you so much for loving Bruiser ❤.
Bruisers purr was just like my Salems purr, loud but relaxed, obviously loved his hoo-mum, he chose her. What she’s done for all those cats is amazing. Cat shelters should talk to each other as different areas have different time scales of adoptions, so cats can go where there’s a higher chance of them being adopted 🥰🥰
Agreed! I had no idea that swapping animals between shelters could lead to such remarkable results? 😳 had kind of assumed crises like kitten season affected them all identically.... I hope efforts by people like Laurence have encouraged shelters to reach out and form a communication network, so they can collaborate on getting best possible results for their charges?
Grown man here with tears in my eyes , this woman is a beautiful human being, the world can use more people like her .
The 4 years made such a difference in Bruiser's life as well as their lives. He passed away loved and wanted. The best way to go in my opinion. Compassion goes a long way when it comes to loving fur babies.
Thank You for being there for him when he needed it most. God Bless you.
Oh my god. You were his angel and now he’s yours💜
You can hear her ruptured voice when she talks about his death. I cried with her, you can feel the enormous amount of love she had for him.
Hearing her voice begin to break broke my heart because I know exactly how it feels to love an animal so much, that when they pass away it ultimately hurts. Cats and dogs aren’t just pets, they’re your best friends. I’m glad she took care of him to the very end, they deserved each other.
It got to me too. I had a wee doggo named Edward. Looked exactly like Benji from the movies (you're prob too young to recall, lol). He was approx 2 when we got him. He had a broken front leg and a punctures lung. When the vet shaved him for surgery, they found a bruise in the shape of a work boot on his side. Edward was my soulmate. He saw me thru 2 bouts of cancer, the loss of 2 dear friends, and the shocking death of my husband of 28 years. He was 19 when he passed. This was 3 years ago and I still wake up in the morning and peek over the side of the bed, looking for him. We don't deserve pets. They add so much richness to our lives and ask very little in return. When he passed, I held him and told him that this was HIS turn to go ahead first and wait for ME. That he and his Dad would be in heaven when I get there, to just be patient. Sorry for this long reply!! I just loved what you said and how eloquently you put it. Thank you. Love and Bless xoxo
You are a very sweet soul. Thank you for adopting Bruiser .and helping all of these other poor kitties. Bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏💗
I’m so glad she & Bruiser found each other. They were each other’s soul mates. And what a great woman to make sure all the other leukemia cats found homes. What a beautiful person. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I am literally in tears😢 Beautiful sweet baby❤️So happy he found this wonderful lady ❤️ Thank you so much for giving this baby a home, a place to live, peacefully surrounded by love and compassion🍀🙏🏼 Rest In peace little one🌈🐾
My white kitty that I rescued years ago looked at me & laid in my arms just like that - he was a lap kitty. I still cry about him to this day
I cried my eyes out as I also have a Russian Blue that I rescued from a shelter. But this lady is far better than me ... she is an angel and I am so happy she helped Bruiser and all the other cats to be adopted
i thought it was a russian blue. if i could get a pedigree cat, a russian blue or chartreaux would top my list
@@leboeuf05 I adopted my Russian blue from a shelter. She is a strange little character. I know she loves me but, she will not be around anyone else. When people come to the house she will hide until they are gone. She only likes to eat when I am around. I got her when she was four months old she is now nine months old & I know she will never be a people person cat. But that’s OK she is what she is. ❤️
@@sunnydaze2359 russian blues are very smart cats. some of them can be aloof
She did a most wonderful thing for that kitty. He knew he was loved!
Laurence, you made Bruiser’s life the very best it could be for four years. He may be gone, but his paw prints are tattooed on your heart forever. His snuggles and purrs are preserved in your videos and memories of him. You clearly meant the world to him, as much as he meant it to you.
sleep softly little one.... peace to the broken hearts of those whose lives you so sweetly touched
Beautifully said 👏 ❤
She's such a compassionate human being and she did the right thing and Bruiser had the best 4 years of his life. ❤🐈
Bruiser pick you as his mommy and what a wise kitty !!!! Thank you for being so kind to adorable Bruiser !!!! so ignorant people thought they could actually catch cancer from a cat ??!!!! God bless you special mom and your family !!!! My brother has leukemia which has been in remission for 5 years !!!! Praise God !!!!
This story brought tears to my eyes. Bruiser was blessed to have met with you and live his life full with LOVE. God Bless you!
He's purring so hard for her he sounds like a mixture between an alien, a raccoon, and a chicken. He was such a happy kitten.
So many people want to adopt a"perfect" cat or dog. Bruiser was that perfect cat who was able to live the rest of his life in a loving family. RIP dear Bruiser and see you with all of the other sweet animals at the Rainbow Bridge.
What a lovely lady, and her gentle children. 🙂 Exactly the right place for Bruiser.
Awwwww.. this is a beautiful story ❣️... R.i.p.. I'm so glad this beautiful cat, had an happy ending. ❣️
“It’s a green light…” awesome. Great model for the kids to adopt a compromised cat. What a lucky cat to have found you.
That would be me. My husband has no say...only acceptance. 😁 actually, he's pretty awesome. He got me two little sibling kittens when my 9yr old cat vanished without a trace in 2017. I still have dreams about her too. Miss her immensely. The kittens came 3 months later. I swore we wouldn't get rid of them if my girl came home, but she never did 😢
This is no cat........... in reality it is an ANGEL IN DISGUISE!!!💕💕💕💕💕
@@marcog6056 👍
I wish the world had more heroic angels like you that actually cared about others enough to do something to help. I lost my cat Hanna to cancer as she died in my arms and I still miss her three years later. You're such a beautiful person.
Thank that kind woman that took the cat home, may god bless you 😭❤
Bruiser must have known she was an angel when she 1st walked into the leukemia room, I am so emotional after watching this, I'm happy that Bruiser's story ended so great but am sad for all of the sick cats in shelters that nobody wants. 😭😭😢
I agree, Bruiser 😼💗knew.
I don't think I could do it not because I don't want to but because I wouldn't be able to watch them die I have had to many animals that have crossed the rainbow bridge and every time it felt like a piece of me left with them they all become family and once they die it hurts too bad.
My gosh, this got the tears flowing and I've never even heard a cat make that type of purring noise before, utter devotion right there.
OMG, Bruiser is so adorable! May God bless you for taking care of Bruiser in his time of need. His last years were spent with a gracious amount of love and compassion thanks to you.
I love your story. God bless all of you!
When she said they were watching the sunset and he had his head on her shoulder as usual, then felt his head drop, I lost it. An incredibly sad yet beautiful moment.
Same. That was just too much to handle. It's such a beautiful story that I will never forget.
I am deeply moved by the trust, love and honesty in Bruiser's eyes when he looks at you in this video. It's obvious that you shared a unique and special connection and he was touched by your divinity within. Be blessed.
I felt the same. Bless this woman with such a huge heart. So thankful they found each other. RIP Bruiser💔
Dear owner, thank you so much for loving the cat..😘
Just beautiful absolutely beautiful
I'm so glad she held him in his favorite spot til the very end. What a wonderful story for the both of them. May bruiser rest in peace.
I cried watching this...specially now that one of my four furry babies was diagnosed with leukemia...I'm still trying to figure out what to expect of this journey...so far he's fallen anemic with a tremendous loss of appetite which calls for me to constantly beg him to eat...he used to be such a strong, happy, purry cat, and now, he only wants to be in a dark spot inside a closet...watching this video, ultimately realizing a fatal end is the only certain thing I have with him, breaks my heart
I know it's hard but you have to keep trying for them. Have you tried NHV feline leukemia supplements yet to see if they help?
So... I understand this far more than I feel like anyone should. My little girl (she's technically 17 in human years) was recently diagnosed with Kidney Failure. Obviously, it's not something that can be fixed or replaced or anything. Especially not at her age. I panicked.... I broke down.... I knew something was really really wrong when she didn't come say hi to me after I got home from work. She always did, even if she was sleeping. She knew when i was home and came every night. When i saw the state she was in, I started fearing the worst.... I stayed up all night trying to get ahold of emergency vets in my area to get her in. To get her into any vet after 8 am since that's when everyone opened up..... First day, we took her to a vet. They checked her in, got some vitals and had us wait for an hour. After that first hour, we were brought back into a room.... We were there for 3 more hours with no one checking in on us, no one giving us an update. We had to constantly ask someone and it was just heartbreaking. By the time we left that place 4 hours after walking in, I had been awake for over 24 hours because of how scared I was. On the way home, we got her an appointment for the next morning. As soon as we got there, I could tell that this vet clinic was gonna be different. They were constantly checking in on us and checking on her. Testing what they could to see what was wrong before finding an answer. We spoke to the vet and one of the assistants there about what could be done and got her on some medication. Including the day i found her in that state, she did not eat anything for at least 4 or 5 days. I had some of those tube treats that she loves and I had to force her to eat even a small amount of it. She never turned them away before then. But as we gave her the IV medicine every day, the pill fragment that we were to give her, and with constant love and support, she got better. Because it's so recent, everyone is reminding me of her age and that she might pass soon and it's so hard to think about that.... But as long as she has the fight in her, I will fight for her no matter what. I'm not giving up on the one that never gave up on me. Though all my dark times, she was always there for me. It was finally my time to be there for her. A fatal end is not all that's left.... Talk to your vet. See what can be done. See what is reasonable and what you're willing to do for them. They see how much we fight for them and they will return that with undying love. According to YT times, it's been a month since you posted this.... I truly hope that they have gotten better and are holding on strong with you. One diagnosis does not mean the end. It is a challenge in the road of life and a new bonding experience. I am very grateful for the second vet I mentioned. Because of her, my baby girl is able to curl up and sleep on my bed behind me, even more affectionate than every before. She still needs a special diet to help her, but she's working with us as we are working with her. The memories you've made together will never fade and the tears you shed for them are never meaningless. Both show just how much you both love each other. ((sorry for the long reply, i have no idea how to shorten it to make it easier))
@@Mizumii25 You're such a strong, loving and caring CatMom🫶🏼. You don't let your cat down and she feels your love and support and therefore she's willing to fight. So glad you've reached out to this second vet. Hope you'll have many more wonderful days, weeks, months and years with your beloved cat. Don't ever loose hope. My Georgie was diagnosed with chronical kidney disease aged 8,5. After 4,5 years he's got lymphoma and one more later hyperthyroidism. He passed away 1,5 years later (just 3 weeks ago), I had to let him go, he couldn't take it any longer. But all those years he was so full of life and urged me to take him outside on little strolls on a daily basis. He was so grateful for every single day and he showed me his unconditional love and affection till his last breath. We came such a long way despite all his medical issues and I'm so thankful for our 15,5 years together. One last thing: thank you for loving and caring for your precious cat.
@@Mizumii25 bless you for being so good to your cat.
@Ruby Benge I wish I could say she's got a few more years in her but we sadly had to put her down this past Wednesday. I feel like such a failure to her. It's hard going through the days now without her. She was such a heavy presence in my life that it's hard doing my normal things.... I swear I see her all the time out of the corner of my eyes. It's so hard looking at the things she touched and not crying.
FOUR YEARS. That's the power of Love.
Ditch the husband... adopt the cat! Anyone that doesn't care about animals is a no go in my book! This woman truly is a great person. She gave this wonderful cat the best years of his life and got some of the best years of hers. We need out pets just as much as they need us. I truly believe that.
