Ash, who grew up surrounded by cats, has become the sweetest caregiver to kittens in need.
Since the day he was born, Ash (2) has been surrounded by cats. Athina, his mother, is an animal rescuer and the creator of the Jersey Kitty Rescue Network. Some of the cats that live there are rescues or have specific needs.
Shortly after Ash made his appearance in the world, Athina’s cat, Lt. Dan, who had paralyzed rear legs, arrived to meet the newcomer.
In the interview, Athina said, “He was Ash’s first feline buddy.”
The rest of the local cats quickly crowded around him. They took turns entertaining their tiny human and even gave him a couple of licks on the hand.
Casper The cat was there for several of Ash’s feedings and offered to keep an eye on him as he slept.

Athina, who frequently takes kittens home to foster, recognized her son’s interest in animals in need right away.
“We let him handle and touch them in a supervised setting when he turned one. Ash was well aware that they were distinct from the elder cats. He was smitten by them “Athina shared with us.
Casper the cat watches over and protects his human brother.
“Ash would see me cleaning and feeding the cats. He was always willing to assist and make sure they had food and drink, which was really nice. He insisted on flushing after I scooped our flushable litter into the toilet.”
While he grows in size, so does his feeling of responsibility. Athina encourages him to be careful with the kittens, and Ash has learnt to handle them gently and lavishly kiss them.
Ash loves and tries to care for abandoned kittens.
With lots of instruction, Ash is able to offer delicate loving care to the foster kittens and has become the family’s tiniest feline caregiver.
“As much as he loves them, he’s still a toddler, and it’s a never-ending learning process for him,” Athina said in the interview.
The kittens love their human as much as he adores them. When he snuggles them, they purr like crazy and even attempt to nuzzle into his neck to get up close and personal.
“Since his birth, Ash has interacted with about 50 kittens. When he’s around them, he constantly shocks us.”
“He’ll count the kittens, point out their characteristics, and explain how they’re brothers and sisters.”
He will coo and speak softly to the kittens, and they will instantly flock towards him. Ash enjoys comforting foster kittens by gently holding them in his arms and stroking his face on them.
The tiny calico loves cuddling with Ash and soaking up the affection.
Every day, Ash, the cat man in the making, gives loves and kisses to his animal companions.
