00:00he wasn't the most friendliest boy we first started noticing Ricky sort of

00:04roaming around the neighborhood that we're in he had a lot of cuts on him but

00:09he really stood out to us because he had these massive cheeks

00:13bless him he was just out there looking for food on his own getting into fights

00:17so that's when we said right we're gonna try and tame him we knew it's gonna be a

00:22bit hard because he's very hissy me my partner rescued a family of feral cats

00:33so in our garden we've got like a little shed set up for them and then Ricky

00:37spotted me going in there to feed them and he started to go in there so we

00:45started feeding him more hanging around him talking to him just getting him used

00:51to our presence helped took a probably a good two three months before I could

01:04just pet him gradually as we started to notice he was getting more and more

01:11injuries on him so we thought we've got to try and untrap him but because he was

01:17so weak my partner was able to get him into a carrier we've got him to our vet

01:23you're not very happy about going in there are you set up our garage is sort of a

01:28safe space for him just to recover get a bit of that energy back we thought we

01:36could feed him out there and just let him get a bit stronger

01:42within a few days we just noticed the subtle improvements

01:50he thought this is going the right way so we just kept persevering with him

01:56Have you found a new spot?

01:58Hello darling

02:00Oh hello

02:02Oh hello

02:04Hello

02:06He's okay

02:09eventually his confidence increased that he wanted to come out of the garage

02:14Hello

02:16Hello

02:18Hey

02:20How are you?

02:22We'll never forget the first time he came into our house

02:26Good boy

02:28Yeah

02:30Good boy

02:32It was just like he was so grateful he thought I've got a safe space I can

02:37relax now and then we were able to get him back to the vets to get him neutered

02:41and microchipped he hasn't once attempt to go back out

02:48he's been inside just over a year now

02:52I may have had a cat party for him just a little birthday party because I thought

02:58he's done so well the last year why not celebrate I think he's probably the most

03:04affectionate cat we have now which is crazy to think what he's like a year and

03:07a half ago he just needed a bit of time a bit of patience and just someone to

03:13love him and I just hope it shows helping stray cats is worth it

03:20most of them haven't had a good start they just need a chance once you gain

03:27that trust they can become amazing pets

03:31Hello

03:33Good boy
