She immediately took him in and started raising him as if he was her own.
First day at his new home, the kitten wanted some cuddles so badly that he started hugging the teddy bear.
“Some family friends found this little 2 week old kitten (guesstimate) in a field behind their house. Knowing we foster bottle babies for the local humane society, they called and asked if we could help the little guy. We of course said yes,” Jamie Myers told Amy at Love Meow.
“Our mama dog was very close to delivering her pups at that time and took kitten in without hesitation! He was her baby and remained her baby even through the delivery of her own pups.”
“To this day kitten doesn’t know he is a cat!” Myers said.
“Mama dog is Callie, kitten is Widgie (short for Widget, because he was just a little widget when we got him)”
And so, Callie is on orphan kitten duty. She doesn’t let him out of her sight. She seems to know that the kitten doesn’t have a mommy and she is adopting him.
The puppies generally wait patiently until the kitten gets done with his kitty milk so they can have the leftovers! Mama Callie always makes sure her kitten gets to eat first.
Widgie is very special to the whole family now.
He came to them at exactly the right time, just when they lost their cat Oreo, who was also a tuxedo.
