Feral cats are some of the toughest strays, surviving alone for years. When a cat goes feral, it’s hard for them to adjust, even with a loving human. Mason is an old feral cat with kidney disease.

We brought Mason in during a big Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) event back in October. A developer had purchased a large rural property with several derelict barns, and was just beginning to bulldoze them, not realizing they were home to about 60 feral cats and kittens. We got permission to set up a feeding station and start trapping the cats to spay and neuter them and find homes for as many as we could. We brought in about 26 cats that weekend, including Mason.- Tiny Kittens
Most feral cats in shelters are put down because they’re hard to handle.
Almost all feral cats in shelters are euthanized because of their aggressive behavior. Because Mason was old, the shelter decided to let him live his last months comfortably.
Mason spent his last months pain-free in the shelter.

Mason’s many scars told us how hard he had fought to survive this long, and we were determined to give him a chance to experience comfort, safety and freedom from pain during his sunset months.- Tiny Kittens
Then, something amazing happened.
The foster home brought in some kittens. When Mason met the kittens, something changed in him. The kittens loved to cuddle with him, and he didn’t just tolerate it—he loved it.

Mason became a “grandpa” to the kittens. In a heartwarming scene, Mason started to open up to the little cats who showed him love. While the video ends there, we know that Grandpa Mason will spend his last months surrounded by playful kittens, showing his softer side.

A horrific case of animal cruelty and domestic violence unfolded last year in Fargo, North Dakota. The details are disturbing and tragic. The abuser was sentenced to prison, but we must ensure he never terrorizes another person or animal again.
Mason’s story matters!
Cat overpopulation is a big problem in many places. Part of the solution is keeping cats off the streets and spaying and neutering them. Feral cats have a reputation for being fierce, but that’s just how they survive. At TinyKittens, we want to change how people see feral cats. By rescuing them and sharing their stories on our livestream and social media, we help people understand that these cats have value. Their stories spark conversations about spaying and neutering, responsible pet ownership, and compassion, making a big difference! – Tiny Kittens
