According to Geobeats Animals, a digital publisher that features stories of adoptive and rescued pets, Gillu was rescued by the social media user a year ago when she found him near a car tire. While talking to the portal, she said, “We looked around for his nest, we tried to find his mother or any other siblings, but we couldn’t find anything. So, we took him home, and once he came home, he just melted all of our hearts and made his way into the family."
