Feldhausen said Lauerman visits the cage-free sanctuary — which salvages debilitated felines that would be in danger of killing at different centers— day by day and stays for around three hours.

After he brushes a cat for a while, he regularly rests off.

“[He sleeps for] about 60 minutes, then he’ll wake up and switch cats,” said Feldhausen.

Apparently, Lauerman really enjoys the unpaid gig a lot — especially the sprucing aspect of it.

“He said, [the brushing is] as great of an experience for him, as it is for them,” Feldhausen said.

Naturally, the volunteer with a habit of accidentally passing out charmed the staff at Safe Haven, and the group decided to dedicate a Facebook post to him on Tuesday.

“We are so lucky to have a human like Terry,” the shelter wrote, alongside a few photos of Lauerman cat napping with felines. “Terry just came along one day and introduced himself. He said he’d like to brush cats. Eventually, it became everyday. He brushes all of the cats, and can tell you about all of their likes and dislikes. He also accidentally falls asleep most days. We don’t mind – Cats need this! Terry is a wonderful volunteer.”

Ends up the staff at the shelter weren’t the main ones stricken by Lauerman. As of Thursday evening, the post has gotten over 1.6 million on Facebook. It additionally advanced over to Reddit, where it has gotten so many comments.

What’s more, in spite of the fact that Lauerman trusts his 15 minutes of distinction prompts more gifts to Safe Haven, he additionally needs to remind individuals that he’s by all account not the only individual devoting his opportunity to protect.
