Every cat has a story, and Mouse, our beloved rescue cat, has one that’s truly special. Once a stray in need of a home, Mouse has not only found his place in our hearts but has also taken on an unexpected and heartwarming role—kitten babysitter!
From the moment he arrived, Mouse proved to be more than just another feline in the cattery. With a gentle spirit, patient nature, and a surprising love for kittens, he has become the guardian and teacher of every little one that comes his way.
From Stray to Protector
Mouse came to us as a rescue, unsure of his new surroundings but full of potential. With time, love, and care, he adjusted beautifully to his forever home. But what truly surprised us was how much he adored kittens!
Instead of keeping to himself, Mouse took an immediate interest in every new litter. Whether it’s cuddling, grooming, or simply watching over them, he ensures that each kitten feels safe and loved. It’s as if he understands their vulnerability and wants to be the reassuring presence they need.
A Patient Mentor for Mischievous Kittens
When Ebony’s Christmas litter arrived, Mouse stepped up as a kitten mentor—helping with weaning, keeping the little troublemakers in line, and showing them the ropes of feline life. He doesn’t just tolerate their antics; he embraces them with patience and care.
Mouse’s Kitten Lessons:
🐾 Grooming 101 – Teaching them how to keep their fur clean like a proper cat.
🐾 Playtime Etiquette – Helping them learn how to wrestle and pounce without being too rough.
🐾 Building Confidence – Being the calm, steady presence they need as they explore their world.
Despite their boundless energy—climbing on him, batting at his tail, or using him as a pillow—Mouse remains a gentle and watchful guardian.
A Forever Home and a Forever Purpose
Mouse may have come to us as a rescue, but he has found his true calling in caring for the kittens. His nurturing instincts, patient nature, and quiet affection make him an irreplaceable part of our cattery family.
For Mouse, every kitten is family, and thanks to him, each one gets an extra dose of love and guidance before heading off to their forever home. He may have had a rough start in life, but now he’s giving back in the most heartwarming way possible.
We’re so lucky to have Mouse in our lives—and our kittens are even luckier to have him watching over them. 🐾❤️
