30 Times This Guy Used A Drone And Remote Control Car To Find And Feed Stray Cats
InterviewWe know how much our community loves cats. That’s why today, we’d love to share with you the most heartwarming initiative taken by the individual behind the Instagram account 'Prohor.tv'. The innovative and unusual way this man helps felines in need has truly impressed us, and we’re amazed at how many cats (and other street animals) survive hunger thanks to his efforts!
The solution involves delivering food to the most vulnerable strays. Due to the difficulty of reaching some locations, Prohor came up with the idea to use a drone and a remote control car with an attached bowl filled with cat food. The gear he's utilizing includes an additional hidden camera that allows him not only to find cats hiding in remote places but also to document the moment when their meal is delivered and eaten.
Without further ado, scroll down to see some of the moments captured by Prohor and read our interview to find out more about this wonderful cause. We also encourage you to visit his Instagram profile to see the full video recordings showcasing hundreds of animals in need that he has fed so far and to learn how you can contribute to this thoughtful mission.

When asked what inspired him to start using a remote control car and drone to feed stray animals, Prohor shared with us: “I saw similar content on the internet, where people were just driving a remote control car around the city. I came up with the idea to use this machine to feed street animals, and that’s how my project was born. After a while, I wanted to diversify my content, so I tried to make a video clip using a quadcopter.”
I may be wrong but it seems to me as if this cat is looking for traps, before daring to get to the food.
We were curious about what a typical day of managing and executing these innovative food deliveries looks like. According to Prohor, it has become part of his daily routine, and using this unique method gives him an advantage in finding and reaching strays in his town in a relatively short time: “I don’t have to look for them for a long time. So nothing unusual is happening to me. It’s the same as always. I take a car or a drone, buy food, and go hunting.”
Next, we learned about the biggest challenges Prohor faces in the process of cat food deliveries: “In principle, there are no difficulties. Well, except for the children; they immediately rush over at the sight of the car or quadcopter, especially now that a lot of people know about my project.”
One of the important factors contributing to Prohor’s success is the support he receives from people who back this initiative on Patreon, donating specific amounts for cat food. He explains, “Viewers can have their name or Instagram handle inscribed on a saucer. I shoot videos featuring their mark and create a joint reel. This way, it benefits everyone: well-fed cats and good exposure for the sponsor.”
The reminds me of "Lady and the Tramp" for some reason. Specifically the scene with the pasta.
Lastly, we learned that Prohor wants to expand his initiative to help even more stray animals: “I have grand plans, but unfortunately, there isn’t enough funding for this dream. I plan to buy a larger remote-controlled car, install a video camera on it, and use it to feed more than 20 cats at once. I want to drive it around the city from home.”
If this is a stray, why do they have a collar? If the poor thing is lost, I hope this helped to reunite then with their hoomans
Years ago I took in a pregnant stray. Some irresponsible jerk had neglected to have her fixed, then blamed her for "getting in trouble." I found forever homes for all of the kittens and had the mama cat spayed. She was my companion for 17 wonderful years.
Load More Replies...We strongly approve of this soft can-opener. He may have a whole bag of cookies.
These pix split my emotions in two - sadness for all the animals that don't have enough to eat because people are irresponsible about letting them breed - and happiness at seeing this small group receiving food. I just adopted two little baby kitties from the local animal shelter last week (6 to 8 weeks old) and it hurts my heart to see all these animals in need. Thank you, Hidrėlėy, for giving me some hope about the good that some people do for animals.
It is a good thing, that someone is feeding the feral cats. Some of them seems to need more than just food however.
We had to fix a mama cat last year as well. She and her two boy friends come over to eat safely at our property daily. They all have names and are very much loved even if only one fully trusts me with rules. I know at least the one boy is fixed. The other, not sure. But he only has eyes for her none the less. But still I wish my neighborhood wasn't so hostile towards cats. My two neighbors are down right evil towards cats in general. I hope someday that it will all backfire on them. Someday someone will harass them away. None the less I'm glad there are still great good hearted people that value all animal life, never miss treat any and help those that need it.
I first thought there were the names of the cats he gave them on the saucers, but it's the sponsors.
Thank u for helping them. I feed my cat's up my street leaving food and water for them when they walk by. Lots of my neighbors do the same.If I had the money I would donate to stray cat's in need of food and shelter. If everyone works together it can become a community effort to help them out. U are a very kind person.
What a great thing to be doing, even if some dogs and pets slip into the program.
This is absolutely fantastic, but why slap your tag all over the plates? Unless it has a good purpose 'm not aware of, it really cheapens this beautiful project...
