A video of four kittens, aptly named the “Graybies,” along with their young mother being rescued has melted millions of hearts on Instagram.

Racking up an impressive 2.8 million views, the footage was shared by Cameron King, a dedicated cat owner and foster parent who runs the Instagram page @benjaminbutterscotch. The Graybies, known for their striking gray coats, were found hidden in “a rotting pile of junk and old boxes.”

The touching video captures the moment King, upon being made aware of their situation, stepped in to rescue the four kittens and their 6-month-old mother.

Followed by more recent footage of the grown up kittens celebrating their first birthday on June 21. In the caption, he refers to the cats called Macy Gray, Dorian Gray, Christian Gray, and Gandalf the Gray as the “most amazing litter.” However, raising them has come with its challenges.

He wrote: “It’s been a real whirlwind of a year because Gandalf has been determined to burn through a few of his [nine] lives!”

First, he was diagnosed with a viral disease known as feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) then he fractured his back leg when running down the stairs while trying to escape his FIP medicine, which is said to be expensive in the caption. More recently, he swallowed two feet of drawstring at his foster home and required emergency surgery.
