#1 Henry is a rescue cute cat with a neurological disorder that makes him wobbly. However, this ginger cat has surprised everybody with his great fatherly instinct. When he met a litter of abandoned kitties found on the roadside, he took them in and begun nurturing them as his own.
#2 The six little three-week old kitties were found in a cardboard box on Price of Wales, in Alaska. “ Fortunately, some kids walking home from school heard them meowing in the box,” Heather Muench of the Ketchikan Humane Society told KRBD.
#3 While Muench was caring for the kitties for some time, Henry decided he would lent her a helping paw, and right then, his paternal instinct came into sight. “It’s really kind of cute,” said Muench. “The first thing he does is begin licking one. He will spend hours in there, licking them, over and over. I think, ‘Oh my gosh, they’re not going to have any fur left.’ But, he’s actually good at cleaning them up. I shouldn’t complain, because then I don’t have to do it.
“The cat nurturing, it’s raising their chance of surviving.”
Henry takes his role very seriously. “When I took them to work with me, he was very upset because someone had stolen his kittens for one day,” she added. “When they arrived home, he was like, ‘Get them out of the carrying case. Put my babies back!”
#4 Though Henry is a great help, Muench had to take the kittens with her to work to keep them fed.
Henry is such a devoted dad who has made a big difference for these small kitties.

“Henry paced and cried all day because Opposable Thumbs made off with his kitties and took them to the veterinary clinic. When they were returned, he hopped in to give everyone a thorough washing and make sure they were all in perfect shape. You can tell by the look he gives the camera at the end that he’s saying, ‘Well, fortunately for you they’re fine, but don’t let this happen again.'”
#6 Henry has been adopted by his foster parents. He is now helping his humans care for other kittens in need.
“Henry lets the little ones nuzzle his belly. They are comforted, he is comforted, and we are touched,”
