The Cat That is Saving Lives by Cruising
Фильм және анимация
This is Captain Hudson. He’s 4 inches tall, made of cotton and to look at him you would never know just how many lives he has saved. He looks like he’s just a ball of cuteness, but thanks to the support of thousands of incredible people, he is so much more than that.
Get yours here: EmmaCruises.com/CaptainHudson (Until 24th June 2023)
Captain Hudson Merch (T-shirts, stickers & more): EmmaCruisesShop.com
There are 1372 Captain Hudsons out there in the world right now with thousands more being made very soon. He’s visited every corner of the globe and has got up to all kinds of weird and interesting things along the way. I’m sure that he must have the highest loyalty status with every cruise line by now and he loves cookies just as much as me.
To understand how we got to this place that's amazing and a little bit bizarre, we need to rewind a year or so.
I was in the kitchen making myself lunch and listening to a podcast when I first heard a mention of something called Mercy Ships. I work in the cruise industry and my ears prick up whenever I hear anything about ships being mentioned anywhere, I just can’t help it.
The person speaking said that they had spent a couple of years volunteering onboard a ship called the Global Mercy and at this point, I’d never heard of this ship but it did sound cool, Global Mercy.
I decided that I wanted to find out more and after a little bit of research, I learnt that Mercy Ships run hospital ships where EVERYBODY onboard is a volunteer. From the surgeons to the chefs and the cleaners, every person has given up months or years of their lives to be there.
It honestly took me back a little bit to realise that there were so many incredible people like that out there who dedicate their lives to this. It’s such a selfless thing to do. Global Mercy holds over 600 people so this isn’t some little boat that just has a few first aid kits onboard, this is an incredible feat of engineering with 6 operating theatres. Mercy Ships has another ship too.
They sail the ships to places that don’t have access to healthcare and they provide treatments and surgeries and education, all for free.

Over 35 years ago my first orange cat and I rescued each other, and I soon began collecting orange kitty items (mostly magnets and figurines but I have many). A Captain Hudson is joining my collection and will be our new official "travel kitty" (surrogate taken on our trips.) Thank you for being informative, entertaining and so giving to others.

Your hair is adorable, even when it was short or gone. My sister who I loved dearly passed away five years ago from cancer when she was only 44 years old leaving three children. She beat cancer once but the second time it came we lost her and I remember she participated in as many fund raising events as she could. People like you remind me there are still some decent people out there. Thank you, I really mean it thank you, with people like you maybe some family will keep their loved ones.

Just a suggestion: For the next version (3.0) maybe you can ask for help promoting it from the other cruise content creators like Don, SAST, La Lido Loca, ect. With their help, I am sure you could push the numbers over the 10K mark. Just imagen how that could help the Mercy Ships.
