Save Kittens from Fire
In 1996 a fire happened in a garage in New York and this mama kitty wasn’t having it! Her kittens were in there and she had to save them. Firefighters witnessed this mom cat named Scarlett lunge back into the fire, even though she was covered in burns to save her kittens.
Scarlett went on to live 13 years with her human family and her kittens lived to be healthy little kitties.

Mama Cat Nurses Chihuahua Puppies
This mama cat from a shelter came to the rescue when a Chihuahua gave birth to four pups. Two of the puppies died and two were then rejected by the mommy dog. That’s when a shelter cat that had just given birth to her own kittens stepped in and started nursing the Chihuahua puppies.
This proves that moms don’t care if the babies are their own. A mom does what a mom has to do to help babies survive in this world.
