Raylan is a dog with a unique character. His owner has always observed that he gets along well with other animals. “He is gentle and affectionate with small animals”, said Lauramentioning the paternal instincts of the canine.
But her instincts will take on a new dimension when Laura’s home is joined by kittens. The little felines had been left homeless and needed care.

The kittens are clearly affected by the climate and the constant lack of food. Laura decided to take matters into her own hands.
Faced with this new situation, Raylan did not sit idly by. He immediately began to take on a prominent role in caring for the kittens, much like a feline mother. Needless to say, the four orphaned kittens loved getting so much attention.
“At first the kittens were quite nervous around Raylan. But they soon realized they loved it when he licked them and cleaned them,” Laura added. The dog has no problem sharing its space with new visitors.
Laura recalls how she met her beloved dog. “Nobody wanted him and I ended up falling in love. I quickly realized that he was very sweet and affectionate with small animals, so I started raising kittens, and the rest is history,” said the proud woman.
Raylan was also saved from a difficult life. It’s safe to say that empathy made him a very loving foster parent who saved the lives of four beautiful, thriving felines.
As of this writing, the cats are doing great with Raylan: “They start eating solid food (…) They follow Raylan everywhere because they admire him so much”, said the caregiver.
