Dog Abandons Her Litter Of Newborn Puppies—Nursing Outdoor Cat Adopts Them

Jun 17, 2020 by apost team

A South Carolina cat who lost her kittens adopted an abandoned litter of puppies after their mother, Smoochie, refused to nurse them.

Every newborn, whether it's a newborn baby or newborn animal, needs a lot of care and attention to thrive. Without someone to provide for basic needs like food, warmth, and shelter, a newborn simply can't make it in life.

The dramatic story started with a dog named Smoochie who, for whatever reason, failed to bond with her newborn pups. Though immediately caring for puppies is usually part of a mother dog's natural instincts, Smoochie somehow lacked this desire to care for her newborn litter.

Instead, she ignored them altogether. Even though they were yelping and whining due to hunger, she turned her back on them and refused to provide for their desperate need. The situation was looking pretty grim.

That's when an unconventional hero came into the picture. That hero was none other than an outdoor cat by the humble name of Miss Kitty. Tragically, Miss Kitty had lost her own litter of kittens.

It seems like her natural mothering instinct went into hyper-drive when she encountered Smoochie's abandoned litter of pups. She couldn't stand hearing them pitifully whimper for food. She became the pups' surrogate mother.

One at a time, Miss Kitty gently carried each one of the puppies to an area at the bottom of a trailer. Here, in this makeshift nest, she nursed the pups to their hearts' content. When Miss Kitty's owners found her and her adopted litter, they moved them to a place where they'd be safe, warm, and dry.

Do you agree that Miss Kitty is a hero for stepping in to save this litter of abandoned puppies? Let us know your thoughts and reactions to this amazing story in the comments and feel free to pass this inspiring story along to all of the animal lovers in your life!
