BREAKING NEWS'Sister Wives' Star Garrison Brown Saved Elderly Cat From Euthanasia Days Before His Tragic Death
Sister Wives star Garrison Brown rescued a near-elderly cat from an animal shelter mere days before he was found dead in his Flagstaff, Ariz., home.
On Wednesday, February 28, Janelle and Kody Brown's pet-loving 25-year-old took to Instagram to show off the newest addition to his family — a gray cat called Ms. Buttons.
Garrison adopted Ms. Buttons in February.
"She’s 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia," Garrison wrote at the time. "But my savior complex couldn’t suffice. #crazycatlady."
Garrison — born Robert Garrison Brown — was known for sharing adorable snapshots of his cats on social media — including one named Catthew and another called Patches O'Houlihan — and reportedly worked with a local rescue.
Garrison was an outspoken cat-lover.
Grief-stricken fans in the comments section praised the young man for his act of kindness before his shocking passing.
One user penned, "Rest in peace Garrison. Absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for saving this kitty before you left. Heaven just gained an Angel," and another added, "If anyone knows what cat rescue organization Garrison worked with, please share the name so we can all donate in his honor."
Garrison regularly shared photos of his kitties on social media.
