denali Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Its definitely best with the pictures - and theres a video :) http://lovemeow.com/...phaned-kittens/ Henry is an 8 month old rescue cat with a neurological disorder that makes him wobbly, but the ginger boy has surprised everyone with his strong mothering instinct. When he met a litter of abandoned kittens found on the side of the road, he took them in and started nurturing them as his own.The six tiny three week old kittens were found in a cardboard box on Price of Wales, in Alaska. "Luckily, some children walking home from school heard them crying in their box," Heather Muench of the Ketchikan Humane Society told KRBD. While Muench was caring for the kittens around the clock, Henry decided he would lent her a helping paw, and right then, his paternal instinct kicked in. "It's really kind of cute," said Muench. "The first thing he does is start compulsively licking one. He'll spend hours in there, licking them, over, repeatedly. I think, 'Oh my gosh, they're not going to have any fur left.' But, he's really good at cleaning them up. I shouldn't complain, because then I don't have to do it. The cat nurturing, it's increasing their chance of surviving." Henry takes his job very seriously. "Yesterday, when I took them to work with me, he was very upset because someone had stolen his babies for the day," she added. "When they came home, he was like, 'Get them out of the carrying case. Put my babies back!" Edited May 17, 2015 by denali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Avanti* Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 How gorgeous. I had a male Labrador who did that. I came home in the middle of winter to find him in his kennel with two 5-6 week old Jack Russell pups that had been dumped in the back lane. They were snuggled up against him on a bitter cold day. It brings tears remembering how sweet and gentle he was. The pups went to the pound and found homes after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
