Momma Cat Adopts Pit Bull Puppy, Wins $25,000 for Rescue Group

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/8YPr.bgDjxOdw2n1ti0RTw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/

A stray cat that adopted a neglected day-old puppy has helped an Ohio animal rescue win a $25,000 grant from the Petco Foundation.

Lurlene and Noland's story began in June when a humane officer investigating a report of animal neglect found a newborn puppy covered in flies alone in a garage.

The tiny pit bull puppy was taken to Cleveland Animal Protective League where shelter workers named him Noland and placed him with Lurlene, a rescued cat that had given birth to four kittens two days earlier.

"Remarkably, Lurlene welcomed Noland into her family, nurturing and nursing him as if he was one of her own. And the kittens were fine with him, too," CAPL director Sharon Harvey told Cleveland.com.

But now that DarkAngel posted the vid, I am happy I love cats, and kittens, and cute puppies that worm their way into even mama Cats' hearts.

And welcome to DU!

seems to be the look on Lurlene's little face.

Cats are great mothers and well known to nurture other baby critters. You can see it with other animals but cats are pretty famous for it.

Instead of judging everyone by their race, skin color,culture,financial means,how they look etc. I wish it to be a great New Years Resolution for 2014.
