Four Tiny Foster Kittens Heal Woman’s Broken Heart | The Dodo 

These creatures can singlehandedly change a person's life. They just give you so much hope and you tend to have something to look forward to. Take care of animals and if you can't, just leave them alone and don't maltreat them.

You are one of the sweetest people I have met here, and with people like you, there's hope in the world for humans to improve! Thank you for you.

What a beautiful and loving woman! Yay to the kitties thriving and living their best lives ❤

Spread the word that neutering and spaying are also important ❤❤❤❤ Great job on keeping them alive, healthy, and happy!

I've experienced the loss of loved family dogs and cats and know how hard it is. What a wonderful way to honor your loved dog, take care of yourself, and do something good for those babies. I'm sure it wasn't easy to do, but so glad it helped both you and them!

That girls smile is absolutely breathtaking. Genuinely taken aback by it. Good on her mothering these innocent little lives, its the sign of a good person when someone cares for animals outside of their own immediate family unit.

I completely agree that helping other animals to survive goes along way to mending a broken heart. I've lost my dog only 4 weeks ago & I am grieving for his loss. Those kittens were really beautiful & you did a really good thing in fostering them 👏🇬🇧💜

That’s beautiful. Your precious dog is smiling right now. ❤️

What a positive energy u bring to the world ! I find whenever one of my pets have passed away the next rescue in their honour is a blessing to all of us including our fur babies ❤

When an animal passes away so sudden without warning, it changes you as a person. One of my cats who used to sleep on my pillow with me was found on the kitchentable one morning. Lifeless. The sorrow was overwhelming and he hadnt showed any problems day or days before that. My other cat became 21 years and i had the best farewell with her. Two different outcomes from them passning away. It says time heals all wounds, but thats not true. TIme only makes it easier to forget. 😥

Simone's with our beloved pets on the other side... where we will meet again. My elderly Mom has been dreaming about our rescue GSD we had when we were children. The two of them had such an extraordinary bond. I always think of them at the same time, too. Thank you to everyone who helps animals... and who are kind to the ones you've got. It means so much.

She’s exactly right. Focusing on others can really pull you out of the doldrums. With foster kittens and puppies, there’s no time to worry for yourself.

You are absolutely right about the mental health aspect. When I was at my worst with depression/anxiety/OCD, my Mama was taken ill, she fell into a coma but came back to me after a week of it. I did all aftercare for her when she came home from the hospital & it made a huge difference to my mental health issues as all I did was concentrate on her. When my Pops died 2 years ago I had my wonderful rescue 4 legged daughter Lola (a Sprollie) who was my rock & helped me so much through the mental side of that. When us 'mental nutters' have to dig deep to help others it is a blessing for us.

Taking care of 4 precious little kittens would put me in the best mood of my life😂❤

That's 4 beautiful adorable kitties, your bond with them indeed healed your broken ♥ Animals give love unconditionally without asking for more returns, hopefully this world will be a better place if both co -exist!🙏 Foster Moms all deserve respect and you have compassion ,glad they are in good hands❤

Kitten therapy is the best therapy! 😊

This broke my heart and healed it at the same time. You, dear, are an ANGEL… You do your Mama proud.❤

Kitten meows are the cutest freaking noise ever!!❤❤❤

i’ve haven’t even watched the video but from the title i know its gonna be wholesome

My dear, you have found the secret to dealing with the loss of a loved one......bring joy back into your life by giving your love to another being. Cat, dog, child, grandpa or grandma......puppies and kittens work the fastest majic though, for obvious reasons, they need us the most. I am sorry for your loss. Probably every single viewer of your story knows this pain all too well. Wishing you and your fosters long life and happiness.

What a lovely girl! I totally agree about caring for animals being one of the best therapies in existence.

Oh boy, I can feel the pain/fear/distress this woman must have been feeling when she got the little kitties and one got sick. And I can relate to suffering from mental health issues. The little cats are adorable, but I really just wish I could hug the rescue lady ...

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you for fostering!!! We rescued 2 kittens out of the road 4 weeks ago 😢 they are getting so big! Soon going to their furever home!!!

It's SO true that helping others can pull us away from depression and isolation. She is a wise young woman! I'm truly sorry about Simone, and love that she felt she was honoring her beloved pup by giving life to these adorable babies. I know she's lifted my spirits! ❤

When I first heard the cat meowing I started to smile

This lady is an example of what people have the potential to be..

😺💕 so sweet. I'm very sorry for poor Simone 😥 Take care.

SO PRECIOUS! REMINDS ME OF WHEN I TOOK CARE OF MY TWO BABIES, BIDDIE AND NAYLA!

Your an Angel! God bless you and those kittens

oh gosh, that remind me when i had my two furbabies, Biddie (a handsome Tuxedo) and his sister Nayla (a tabby diva) they brought me so much joy in my time of stress.

Tiny kittens healps really to feel better❤

Fostering, I completely agree, is hands-down, the best medicine for grief. When my previous cat passed away, we were so bonded that it took me six years to get another cat! It’s too long a story to write here how I knew that Logan should come home with me after that, but he lived for 19 years as what I referred to as my emotional support animal because he was so amazingly sweet and loving. Three months after his passing, it just seems so wrong to get another cat because I knew no one could be like my last two cats, but I started fostering very depressed and overwhelmed cats at the shelter where I volunteer. It is the most wonderful experience showing them that people can be kind and loving. It’s been a real gift!

So very true what this lovely lady said... My little fur baby gives me a reason to get up in the morning, otherwise I may stay in bed, but jack doesn't care 🙀 I have to get up and feed him...and he loves me no matter what 💞🙀 Nothing like the love of an animal... And those baby kittens are so adorable 💕

Fostering and caring for animals is very healing and very therapeutic for both the person fostering and the fosters. You get to focus that extra energy that was pain, hurt, loss, grief and turn it into something positive, love ❤️

I found a litter of 5 kittens at work on Halloween while it bagan snowing. My coworkers and I each took one. My little one went to the vet the next day. I learned how to feed George, stimulate him so he could eliminate waste. He needed to be kept warm. He began opening his eyes 3 days later, so did his brothers. Georgie grew up to be very handsome and loved. I kept him. He bonded with me as my cats do.

I lost my Obi not to long ago, had him 18 years. This week I took in a 3 year old cat who was rehomed after being neglected and ignored. I knew it would be work but it was worth it, she is so loving and thriving. She healed my grief and I'm here to heal hers. I know my buddy boy would want me to show love like I did with him. Foster parents for pets are very important and I thank and bless them.

Muito lindo os gatinhos 🙏🙏🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🐈🐈💕🇧🇷🇧🇷

What a lovely woman. Rare bread.

We should be thankful for all animals. Beautiful lady with a beautiful heart helping animals. I have rescued 5 cats now they enrich my life couldn't live without animals.

OMG, these tiny foster kittens are the most adorable & cutest thing I've ever seen! I wish I could hug & kiss them, as if they were here with me. Rest in Peace, Simone... Simone will be forever loved & missed.❤❤❤

❤❤Thank you for your kindness and giving these precious babies a chance to be loved and survive. Your truly amazing 🎉❤

A lovely lady with some cute kittens. I have a personality disorder and know how difficult it is sometimes to cope with life. Made me want to cry.

💯 percent hit the nail on the head. Helping Others is the key to recovery‼❤ It really works!😁

You took excellent care of those kittens Valentina. And I'm glad you are personally doing better. I wish you a lifetime of good health and happiness. You deserve it. ❤💕❤

God bless you for being a foster parent to those beautiful little kittens 🥰🤗🥰🤗

My little girl Reca has helped me a lot. I was extremely depressed and felt like everything was just an unchanging routine, until the day I was walking to work and heard the saddest little mew. She was so stuck in a bush we had to cut her out of it, and had a case of earmites so bad they were crawling around her body. It has almost been a year, and I am pretty sure that 11 week old kitten is the reason I am happy today. We just moved to my first apartment yesterday, and she is just happy to vome along 🥰

Wow. Simone was the catalyst that led to you helping other animals. Beautiful 😊 ❤

Lady, NOT knowing what the heck you were doing and how this turned out is simply amazing! Great Job...

Animals truly are so special ♥I just love their tiny baby meows =^.^=

El Professor, Tokyo, Rio, and Berlin are really cute.

Thank you for saving their lives and giving them a home. You an awesome cat mom!

What an awesome accomplishment!! Fostering baby kittens is not for sissies, and you did an amazing job! I hope you will foster again in the future. 🥰

What a kind soul you are. He notices & will take care of you.

You’re a beautiful soul, thank you 💕 sorry for your loss

Thank you ❤ I just lost my foster dog and I've been miserable. Seeing these babies and your smile just convinced me that I can do good in this world, I can foster and adopt babies that need me. I need a purpose and this is mine. I want to help as many animals as I can.

What a wonderful woman and beautiful kittens.

Thank you for your kindness to these helpless kittens. In a way, you're returning the love that your departed Simone gave you. There will be more love and kindness coming your way again, as I'm sure you already know. God bless you for what you're doing.

Losing my dog Riley was the worst pain I've ever felt too. Thats what keeps me from adopting again.

You are what this world needs.wonderful❤Kittens are very resilient and you will learn that.sorry about Simone..you are the best.👍👍

You're a beautiful person, with a huge heart, and you're absolutely right, helping, caring for, loving defenseless creatures that need you is one of the best therapies for a person's heart, soul and emotional wellbeing. ❤

Tu eres un tesoro., con los gaticos. Sigue ayudando los animalitos.

My Biscuit appeared out of nowhere about a year ago. She was only a few weeks old and had a bloody broken tail. The instant I saw her I knew she found her forever home. She rescued me more than she will ever know.

Ag shamepies the babas 😊 you are an absolute angel 😇 for saving them 🙏 🙏 the world needs more people like you 😊🙏

There is nothing like somebody who is sweet, cosmically cute, completely innocent and totally trusting who depends entirely upon you to help you realize what a good person you are. 😻🍀🤞

Here's an idea,if an animal in your life gets sick then contact a veterinarian,they're quite good at treating sick animals.

Taking care of others is a powerful way to heal mental illness in that she's learning to heal herself.

Aww!! God bless you for saving these darling little bebes!!🙏😻 you're the PURRRRRRfect Mama for them!!👏👏💕💕 yall were meant to be each other's family 😊😊 you're a true Godsend ❤❤

Lovely lady! Thank you for saving these little lives 😊

Kitten love is some powerful mojo

You do Simone Proud.

Cute babies

So cute… just warms my heart so much… too good for this world. Cats are cute too 😂

I'm a foster failure and I love it.💚

You made the Best and Wisest Decision to Foster these 4 darling and demanding, KITTIES! I am terribly sorry for your SIMONE's passing. I just wondered what happened to him since he was still a Puppy in this Video. I understand your pain. I had a most beloved Kitty who went (mysteriously) went missing over a year ago and I am still grieving, crying and Praying for being reunited with her.

Kitten therapy works for me! Even if it's just videos...❤️🐾😺❤️🐾😺❤️

So sorry about the sad loss of sweet Simone. However, quite captivated and heartened by the epic saga of her owner's valiant efforts to rescue and foster four tiny kitten waifs, in the wake of Simone's passing, who needed her support and comfort to survive and live. This is a triumphant memorial to Simone's memory and a wonderful story of kitten love. Thanks!💕🤗

Thank you Simone Sanctuary!!

Truth.. they bring light into your life

So sorry to hear about Simone- that is so very devastating, but thank you for your kindness to the kittens. May I say I love your hair colours!❤

Kudos to you to up your kitten care learning curve. A lot of time needed to care directly for these little angels, virtually full time.

Sorry for your loss os Simone but thank you for caring and loving these little souls. 🐶❤️🐈‍⬛

"GOD BLESS YOU FOR CARING SO.....MUCH"!!! 💖👍🥰

Thank you Canada

Thank you for taking them in. Such sweeties

This is beyond beautiful.

My dogs are my everything. I've never had a relationship because of my mental illness. Without them in my life, I most likely would not be here. Animals are God's gift to humanity.

they are so cute and adorable and love hearing their tiny little meows.

Losing a pet is so hard. My Chihuahua passed five years ago and I still miss her. I sleep with her teddy bear. She was 16 and I had to put her to sleep. Her cat brother passed a year later on my lap and I cried all night. He was 19. Both are buried in my backyard. I tried two other dogs but never bonded. So I have two cats now that I love to pieces. I’m in my 60’s and they keep me young. As an adult I only went a year without a pet because where I lived they weren’t allowed so I moved where I could. Growing up I had goldfish and two red slider turtles, mom had her second canary and my brother had a chameleon. As an adult I’ve had Guinea pigs, a rabbit, goldfish, a dog and my two now are cats 4 and 5. Having no pet is impossible for me.

Such a beautiful story of caring for the baby magical gifts from God.

This is so true When you're helping somebody else you feel good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow this girl is so beautiful

Pessoas assim que devemos e queremos ter como verdadeiros amigos.

I'm sorry for your issues! I currently, have a lot of mental health issues, precious how you save lives. Wish I could help

so much work for so many cuties... Very nice of you!

Bless this girls heart

A broken heart SUCKS and very few friends/Family can HELP with that, BUT when you're MIND is filled with a new purpose it gets easier (Like being these beautiful babies a future of LOVE) .

Thank you

I teared 😢 watching this video.

God bless you , it is the best honour for Simone

GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥰😍🤩😍🥰😍🤩
