Defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche apparently has a soft spot and a gentle touch.
On Wednesday, the Bottle Baby Kitten ICU at the Arizona Humane Society received a visit from the Arizona Cardinals third-year pro, who volunteered by feeding the tiny cats.
Nkemdiche trained as a bottle feeder for the operation, which is overseeing around 80 foster kittens and their around-the-clock needs.
Apparently, the Cardinals’ 2016 first-round pick has quite a few foster kittens at home already. His presence raised awareness during a busy season for the humane society, which said it is over capacity by about 20 kittens.

“Major purrs to Robert for taking some time off the practice field to bottle-feed these newborn kittens! We are looking forward to teaming up with Robert throughout the year to save more feline lives,” the organization’s Facebook post read.
