A Florida married couple who own a hobby farm between Tampa and Orlando welcomed their baby donkey, Cash, and a cast of other beloved critters into their home Wednesday so they could ride out Hurricane Milton together. “Cash is in for the night❤️ He has such a calming presence,” wrote Sara Weldon and Rick Bass in a video posted to their TikTok account, which shows the baby donkey indoors and seeking out cuddles from Bass as he checked for storm updates on a computer. A video they posted overnight showed Cash resting on the bedroom floor, with five dogs spread out across the room. Other animals who sheltered inside included a batch of baby chickens. “The storm passed, the house is okay, all of us inside are okay,” said Milton, in an update on Thursday morning, in which she tearfully shared the news that all the animals on their property—including larger cattle and donkeys that couldn’t come inside—made it through the night.
