The tiny Chihuahua puppies were discovered in a box on a car in the West Valley City, Utah. The woman who discovered them saw a note on the box indicating that the puppies were motherless.
When she took the puppies to the shelter to get them some help, the staff decided to put them with a surrogate cat mom to try to save their lives.
“The puppies would not have survived into the night without food, so we’re lucky that the woman found them on her car when she did,” Deann Shepherd of Humane Society of Utah told Fox13.
With help from Kit the cat surrogate whose kittens had been adopted, the puppies all made it through the night and were able to get the care and lots of bottle feeding from the volunteers.
Kit took great care of a new litter of orphan kittens that needed some motherly love. When the kittens were introduced to their new mother, she took to them right away and started nursing the little ones as if they were her own.
Kit will always be known as the super mom at the shelter.
