A farmer in Russia was just out making the rounds on his property when he came across four teeny kittens in his barn.
Alone and calling out for help, the farmer decided to take them inside his home. Little did he know, those little kittens weren’t ordinary kittens.
His two domestic cats surprisingly took them in and even helped to nurse them! He thought he had an adorable kitty family.
However, as the kittens grew stronger, he began to realize that they weren’t domestic house cats at all.
And so, he decided to call the Daursky Nature Reserve, and they quickly identified the animals as Pallas’s cats, which are also known as manuls. It’s a rare species of wild cat that is native to Central Asia.
The facility stopped by to take them in, where they would be able to care for them and ultimately release them back into the wild.
Sadly, the farmer needed to say goodbye.
The Pallas’s cats are meant to be in the wild.
Once they were strong enough, the cats were indeed released into the wilderness with tracking equipment. Each packed on a good amount of weight and have been thriving ever since!
Pallas’s cats are almost an endangered species, but the world got to keep four more of these beautiful creatures thanks to this farmer’s kindness.
