Man rescues abandoned kitten and discovers a fatherly side he never knew he had!

A teeny abandoned kitten was found by a kind man... little did he know that this little fluff would change his life!

"I never thought myself to be the fatherly type but this little guy is showing me a whole new side of myself."

When I found him the umbilical was still attached even," reddit user hidetolol said. "I have lost about three hours of sleep a night from my usual routine researching constantly about how to keep this baby alive! I've basically given up having a normal life for the next 5 more weeks to make sure to follow a rigorous feeding and pee/poop ritual."'

"I am very lucky that my brother's girlfriend works at a vet clinic and is able to baby sit for me while I'm stuck at my 9 to 5, but otherwise he has had a basic check up done and seems very healthy, all things considered!"

The man has a few cats of his own but has never raised a kitten this young. He says all animals deserve to be loved, even this little abandoned fur ball.

Another reddit user commented that "To this kitty, you are now mom." He replied, "And that is a title I shall defend with my life!"

"As someone who was set on not having kids ever, this will probably be the closest I'll come to experiencing it," he said.  This morning, the kitten opened his eyes.  "He finally gets to associate a face to the smell!"

The cat dad is very proud!
