Your feel-good story of the week

Geinger had been checking on the nursing mom and her babies regularly after they were born in a stack of hay when, one day, mama cat simply vanished.

“I was watching her every day to see when she was going to have them so I knew where they were, so they won’t become wild,” Geinger told CTV News Edmonton on Wednesday, recalling the days following the kittens’ births. “I checked on them constantly, and then she wasn’t around. She wasn’t there for feeding in the morning when we feed the cats. She wasn’t there in the afternoon. She wasn’t there that night.”

After another day minus the mother, Geinger dug through the stack of hay, found the kittens and brought them inside the house.

That’s where their three-year-old border collie Jade came in.
