Awwwww......
That sort of broke my heart. I want to adopt all of them. The black and white one actually reminded me of Larry. Beautiful, adoptable cats. I hope they all find homes. I loved all the different voices and purrs.

I'm such a wuss. I can't even click the link.

I also can't watch those late night commercials that show those sad, scared animals in corners, or at the shelter.

it breaks my heart to see animals in fear or pain. They're all innocent.

Actually on the way to the grocery store this morning about 6 am i passed a puppy that was dead. hit by car, or jumped out a window. couldn't have been more than 10 weeks old. I lost all my motivation to go shopping, turned around and went home.

Am i a basket case or what? the funny part is that i protray a much more crass, mean person in real life. in fact, I post on some of the forums I manage for clients and have a reputation of being a really uncaring jerk.

I wonder which one is true?

The thing is, though, this is a very sweet video. All these cats look very well cared for and friendly and not scared, and lots of loving personality. The only sad thing is, you want them to find homes, even though they're in this lovely, loving place.

The late night ads with scared animals in cages are horrible. I can't watch them either.

I did cry though at the end. All of them are sooooo sweet.
When he says that even if some don't get forever homes they will forever love you because of the love you showed them. That got me! Because it is so true. They don't hold grudges. They just want affection and love in the moment. In return you get head bumps and purrs of contentment.


When the b&w one was meowing and crawling up his leg all I could think about was I really hope he puts down the camera and picks him up because he wants to be held.
It was killing me! Then thank goodness he showed him on his lap
...still meowing like crazy though.

I think that life has taught you animals are more worthy of your care and compassion than (most) people....

The guy's love for these animals shines right through... It does make me sad to think that some of these sweet souls didn't make it out of there.... RIP for the ones who weren't saved.
