“Thankfully, Gandalf is resilient and strong,” King said in the caption. “He’s still doing well, and all signs point to him living a long and happy life.”

Now that he has been nursed back to good health and the others are thriving, they are up for adoption. King hopes sharing their journey will help find them a place to call home. So far, the video has received over 244,000 likes and more than 1,100 comments.

“The mom had to have lived with somebody at one point. No chance she would be that chill stuck in a cage with her kids getting picked up and moved,” said one user.

Another wrote: “Thank you for seeing their worth, saving them, and giving them a home and love.”

A third commenter suggested: “They should stay together. Imagine the pain they go through when separated. This is Not fair. And If they get adopted pleaaaaase consider to give them away in pairs. Don’t separate those siblings! They have strong bonds.”

The story of the Graybies is a testament to the incredible impact that kindness and community support can have. As the kittens and their mama continue to thrive, their journey serves as a reminder of the power of love and compassion in giving animals a second chance at life. According to Peta, an estimated 60 to 100 million cats are homeless in America, they rely on humans to feed, water and shelter them. Sadly, not all are rescued by good Samaritans like King so life on the streets often means a short one due to contagious and deadly diseases.
