LANGLEY, British Columbia — Mason may forever be a feral cat when it comes to humans, but he revealed a much softer side when he was introduced to kittens.
TinyKittens founder Shelly Roche told The Dodo that while treating a colony of feral cats and having them spayed and neutered, a 10-year-old male cat was discovered to have advanced kidney disease. Instead of euthanasia, Roche took Mason into her home to allow him to live out the rest of his life comfortably.
Mason is an ancient, battle-scarred feral cat with advanced kidney disease. Instead of euthanasia, we felt he deserved to live his sunset months in comfort, free from pain. What happened next will make your heart melt. <3 See additional videos of the adorable interactions between Grandpa Mason and "his" foster kittens at TinyTuxies. And please remember that spaying and neutering is the only way to prevent unwanted cats and kittens like Mason and "his" kittens from being born and suffering. Contact your local shelter or SPCA if you need assistance with spaying and neutering... most have free or low cost programs, and are happy to help. More about the rescue work we do: TinyKittens.com

Mason is still wary of humans, but when Roche brought home a litter of foster kittens, she decided to introduce the kittens to Mason.
The results were captured in a Facebook video posted in May that has since gone viral. Mason immediately accepted the kittens, allowing them to climb on him and snuggle with him. Roche said she'd never seen Mason so relaxed before.
Roche continues to bring new litters of foster kittens to meet Mason.
