Stray Pitty Cares for two-day-old kitten

[joeybee12]

On March 18, 2015, a vet technician from Mercy Animal Clinic in Garland, Texas, found and odd couple on the side of a South Dallas road. It was a female Pit bull and a two-day old kitten. The Pit bull somehow found this orphan kitty and had been taking care of it.

The dog was lovingly named Pitty and she had been nursing the feline, however the staff at the clinic knew they had to help the surrogate mother and the kitten somehow.

“The dog is sweet and loves the kitten, but her milk is drying up,” posted Mercy Animal Clinic wrote on their Facebook page. “We are bottle feeding the kitten and placing it in a home with a nursing mother cat tonight.”

According to clinic staff, the heroic dog wasn’t too happy to be separated from her adopted baby. On the first night that the kitty went home with Dr. Hamlin, Pitty howled and as soon as they were reunited the following morning the surrogate mother kissed (licked) her kitty hello.

Mercy Animal Clinic hopes Pitty and the cat can go to a home together. Anyone interested in adopting the two can contact the animal hospital here.

3. Another odd couple -- a true story, though the year is fake.

She's an odd old gal.
That big, fat brindley cat's her pal.
The dog had a litter back in seventy-nine.
Lost one pup, but the others did fine.
Then this ragged little kitten strayed up.
Wouldn't you know, she thought it was her pup?
So she squeezed it in and gave it a tit,
And the kitten pushed and shoved 'till it fit
Right in. Grew up to be the old dog's pal.
The dog's skinny, now. The cat's got fat.
That heap by the fireplace. There they sit,
The old cocker spaniel and her buddy the cat.
She's an odd old gal.

6. I'm in my mid-60s, and dogs and cats are the best peeps I have known.

OK, lots of good people too, but I have known (and still know) bad people. But not dogs and cats. Especially dogs. Even though all are gone now.

9. I was taken aback when I was walking my dogs

and a pit came ferociously barking from her house to where we were walking. She completely ignored my smaller female and sniffed the larger male. He looked down at her like "what do you want" - he is a lab - probably hoping she wanted to play. So she put her tail down and trotted back up to her house. I don't know if she was defending her yard or just wanted to check out my male lab. No issues, no snapping, nothing ... it was all rather anti-climactic after her big entry.

I hope Pitty finds a loving forever home with her "baby."
