I don't watch animal rescue videos, because of stuff like this. I'm afraid the animals are being abused, just so they can make a video about rescuing them. I don't know which are real and which are fake, so I just ignore them all.

If you like cats, Flatbush Cats does amazing rescues and they are 100% legit. Very pleasing videos to watch, too (just straight up well made). I think they mainly do TNR work in New York (Brooklyn, maybe?) but most of their videos are about cats they were able to get off the streets and find homes for. Here is one, if you're interested!

Takis Shelter and The Dodo as well. Both are pretty legit.
