An old grandfatherly cat needs kittens.
Sounds odd, indeed, but the Langley-based rescue organization Tiny Kittens has put out a plea for help.
香蕉视频直播淭his is going to sound weird at first,香蕉视频直播� Tiny Kitten founder Shelly Roche said, acknowledging it香蕉视频直播檚 a strange but 香蕉视频直播渋mportant香蕉视频直播� request.
She hopes someone knows of a cat owner in the area willing 香蕉视频直播渢o give us two or more kittens for Grandpa to love?香蕉视频直播� She even went as far as to put out a plea through social media and CraigsList more than a week ago.
Grandpa Mason is an ancient, battle-scarred feral cat with terminal kidney disease, who is in need of kittens, Roche explained.
He was rescued in 2016 by Tiny Kittens, and instead of euthanasia, they hoped to make him comfortable and free of pain in what they call his 香蕉视频直播渟unset months.香蕉视频直播�
What happened next completely melted hearts.
He香蕉视频直播檚 adjusted remarkably well to life indoors, although he香蕉视频直播檚 still is not a big fan of humans. But what floored them was that Mason become an incredible grandpa to many of the organization香蕉视频直播檚 foster kittens.
香蕉视频直播淗e loves kittens more than anything in the whole world香蕉视频直播� He lets them nurse on him, styles their hair, and teaches them important Grandpa secrets about how to be a cat,香蕉视频直播� Roche said.
Mason has raised several litters now, and is 香蕉视频直播渉appiest when he is covered in a pile of purring kittens.香蕉视频直播�
His story has been told on social media, and one of his transformation videos has received in excess of 6.6 million views.
His last litter of kittens was adopted out in January, and Tiny Kittens has been unable to find replacements for him since then.
香蕉视频直播淚t is not currently kitten season here, which is actually a good thing,香蕉视频直播� Roche said. 香蕉视频直播淏ut we just want Grandpa to live out his final months surrounded by as much love and joy as possible, so we are looking for kittens now.香蕉视频直播�
They are specific in asking that the kittens not be ill.
香蕉视频直播淏ecause Grandpa is old and has kidney disease, we have to be careful not to expose him to kittens who are sick, so we are looking for at least two kittens who are around four weeks old (so he has enough time with them) and who are relatively healthy. Malnourished, fleas, parasites, etc. are no problem 香蕉视频直播� we can fix that fast,香蕉视频直播� Roche explained.
香蕉视频直播淥rphaned kittens would benefit most from being fostered by Grandpa, but we are happy to take mama, too, if you have kittens with a mama 香蕉视频直播� since four weeks is too little to be separated.香蕉视频直播�
The idea to post the ad, Roche said, came when she was watching a video posted to Facebook featuring one of Mason香蕉视频直播檚 past kittens.
Bean Bunny, as she was named, was very demanding when she woke from a nap, so Mason was accustomed to finding her and giving her a 香蕉视频直播渟moosh.香蕉视频直播�
When Roche was listening to the video, the meows coming from Bean Bunny awoke Mason from his cat nap. He began searching the house for his 香蕉视频直播榣ittle babe香蕉视频直播�.
That香蕉视频直播檚 when Roche realized he needed some more kittens, sooner rather than later.
香蕉视频直播淜ittens are just starting to come into our local shelters, but they are not yet overflowing to the point where they would benefit from sending them to Grandpa,香蕉视频直播� Roche shared with the Langley Advance.
香蕉视频直播淲e had offers from the southern United States, and were looking into transport options, but I know in a few weeks, we will all be flooded with kittens up here.香蕉视频直播�
Fearful, however, that a few weeks might be all Mason has, she didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to wait and so put out the call for some local kittens.
香蕉视频直播淚n the meantime, we brought in a three-year-old feral, named Riska香蕉视频直播� It turns out, Grandpa loves Riska, too,香蕉视频直播� she said, noting they香蕉视频直播檙e both ferals that came from the same area.
香蕉视频直播淚 thought they might enjoy each other香蕉视频直播檚 company while he waits for his next litter of kittens香蕉视频直播� they play together, he smooshes her and makes biscuits on her, they snuggle together, and the scamper around the house at 4 a.m. trilling to each other.香蕉视频直播�
