If you've ever wondered what you should be doing when you retire, this mom has totally figured it out. She spends her winters volunteering at a sea turtle rescue center in south Texas, and a few days ago, she has helped them rescue over 1000 turtles (and counting!). They even rescued a turtle over 100 years old!

We're so amazed by her work and so happy that her daughter decided to share these amazing achievements with everyone on twitter. These tweets went viral, as they should have, and hopefully, they inspired others to do some good too! We wish them many, many more successful rescues. And for all the lovely turtles that they rescued, we hope they have an amazing new life!

The last creature you would ever think would need a life jacket is a fish, but for this fish, a life jacket is exactly what it needed to keep it from swimming upside down. 

According to Daily Mail, this poor fish "found himself living upside at the bottom of his tank after a bout of swim bladder - a disorder which affects buoyancy - was found to be untreatable." Luckily, this fish had the most loving caretaker who went out of her way to make a tiny life jacket for the fish that now allows it to swim freely and happily.

If you're a cat owner, then there is no doubt in our mind that you have seen your cat doing some weeeeird things. Of course, that doesn't make you love them any less than before, if anything, their strangeness is what makes them special. You don't question it. All you do is snap a picture and enjoy it while it lasts. Oh, and tweet about how weird your cat is of course. 

Just remember, although your cat's behavior is strange, that cat is your strange cat, and if it likes licking walls sometimes... rather than trying to teach it to stop doing it, just make sure your walls are clean for its enjoyment. Don't forget to come tell us about your weirdos in our Facebook community as well!

Earning a cat's affection is normally not easy. They are naturally suspicious creatures, especially those of them who may not have come from the best of circumstances, so for them to show their humans trust and love is not an easy task. Some cats will take a few days to get used to their new environment and people and will grow to trust you quickly. Others might take years. 

A post on Reddit went viral of someone sharing the absolute unparalleled joy they felt when their cat finally chose to rest on them for the first time in 10 whole years. Goodness, was the wait for it. Other users chimed in, sharing their own stories of their cats finally, finally, choosing them, and we found each one of them incredibly heartwarming.

Two baby otter cubs that have been discovered walking down the street of Inverkeithing in Fife have been rescued and are now being taken car of by the Scottish SPCA. 

As BBC News reports, the two cubs, both about three or fours months old were found by members of the public on Saturday. Now, the two are "in the care of officers at the National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Alloa."

An incredible friendship between a man from Turkey and the swan he rescued has lasted for decades. 37 years ago, a now retired postman, Recep Mirzan, found a female swan who he later named Garip in Turkey's western Edirne province, and they have been friends ever since. 

As NEWS CHANNEL 3 reports, "Mirzan and a group of friends were taking a shortcut in their car when they noticed the swan, with a broken wing, in an empty field. Mirzan immediately took the swan in to protect her from predators and kept her in the car until that afternoon, when he was able to take the swan to his home." Ever since then, Garip has been living on Mirzan's farm in the Karaagac region near Greece. Whenever Garip is out of her pen, she accompanies Mirzan during his chores and evening walks.

It's important to sometimes take a step back and remember how important you are to your pets. We all take them for granted sometimes, forgetting just how much joy and love they bring into our households. We can't help it - we're as used to them living in our house as we're used to our own human family members. 

To warn everyone, tumblr users decided to boost a post that remind everyone how important our pets are to us and we are to our pets. They might be tiny, but they love you so much, and you are their whole world. 

Have your own heartwarming pet story to share? Come to ICanHas Storytime, tell us all about it, and let us all fawn over your adorable fluffball. 

Bring the tissues, everyone, because this one is a tearjerker. Meet Baldr. This poor pup has spent the first year and a half of his life chained up before he got rescued. He never even had a name, and it has left him afraid of trusting people. Thankfully though, his life changed when imgur user, poorschmuck, opened up their hearts and took him in. 

Baldr is now the happiest he's ever been. He's found his forever home, and he knows it. In this home, he will get nothing but love, and as poorschmuck said: he's "[n]ever going to see a chain again." And nothing could make us happier.
