Are you prepared to encounter the most gentle, extraordinary Great Dane ever?
Ladies and gentlemen, introduce yourselves to Corbin, the 160-pound fellow whose expertise lies in caring for baby kittens alongside his mother!
You heard that correctly!
This gentle giant not only interacts beautifully with his feline companions, but he also serves as a nearly full-time foster father! Once Corbin’s mom, Karen, has fed them, his responsibility is to warm, care for, and clean them – just like their biological mother would.
He has provided exceptional foster care for numerous kittens, yet one particular fluffy boy captured his heart, prompting Corbin to embrace him into his delightful family.
Let’s explore why!
Corbin’s Unique Connection With Kittens
Corbin’s special connection with his tiny furriends isn’t exactly new! Together with his owner, Karen, this stunning black Great Dane has fostered hundreds of abandoned kittens.
Occasionally, something deep within him triggers Corbin’s gentle side around them, making him feel compelled to tend to them back to health.
“Some kind of maternal instinct activates in him, transforming him into a gentle giant around kittens,” Karen informed The Dodo.
He is the beloved pet of the family. Corbin gets along well with everyone he encounters – cats, dogs, and other humans.
His remarkable character is what makes kittens feel secure in Corbin’s presence, as he is the ultimate brother to all!
Potato – The Surprising Sibling
When Potato first arrived for fostering, he was extremely small and fragile, requiring a significant amount of attention.
This tiny little kitten was without a mother, only a few days old, and he had indeed not developed as he should have at his age, necessitating round-the-clock care from Karen.
She bottle-fed him, kept him warm, and ensured he had everything necessary. However, then – Corbin arrived to help!
He bestowed the sweetest kiss upon Potato and embraced him as part of the family, and at that moment, Karen recognized – Corbin switched into his nurturing mode!
“Corbin is very kind and gentle. Potato is adorable. He’s small and spirited with the cutest little meow,” Karen shared on Instagram.
He literally took on half of the responsibilities from his momma. Anytime Potato finished eating, Corbin would carry him to his dog bed and clean him up. Potato feels exceptionally comfortable around Corbin, in a way, he perceives him as his actual mother.
