Do you ever get itchy just watching videos of itchy-looking things? Well, same. But these videos won't make you cringe but will actually make you feel really good about the changed lives of a handful of lucky street kittens. Previously, these dirty fur balls were roaming the streets of New York City, lost, alone, starving, and crawling with fleas. Most people would be deterred by their semi-feral appearance and poor manners, but Heidi the Brooklyn Cat Wrangler has a bigger heart than most.
Heidi has dedicated her life to saving the street cats in her neighborhood, bringing home countless raggedy kitties and cleaning them up before their placed in foster care and eventually adopted by a furrever home. However, Heidi's apartment is their first stop on a journey that will lead them to a life of captivity so she has seen some crazy stuff. Most recently, Heidi went viral for her very soothing, extremely therapeutic kitten bathing videos, which seems like a strange concept at first because most people think of cat bath's as the most chaotic, violent, and aggressive activity known to man.
What's most interesting about these videos is that the kittens, who are normally rambunctious, hissing, and very frightful of hoomans, melt like butter in Heidi's hands, peacefully enjoying their little bucket bath and quietly receiving the most luxurious spa treatment. Perhaps they're aware of the grime flowing off of their nappy fur or maybe they're just new to the whole sense of love and affection.
Regardless, it's quite calming to watch these kittens undergo their first little baths, leading them into their new lives and preparing them for the well-fed, warm, furnished lifestyle ahead of them. Plus, these little flea bags are FILTHY! So it's satisfying to see that simply rinse away into the drain. Gone are the problems of society.
Heidi has bathed several naughty kittens and helped find them foster homes. Clearly Heidi has a special place in her heart for wounded, scared, and dirty street critters. Fortunately for kittens like Ramsey, their new lives have only just begun and it's all starting here in Heidi's humble kitchen sink with some Dawn dish soap, a firm grip, and a heart of gold.
