We'd like to highlight a story about a very special doggo whose maternal touch wins over her human's foster kittens every time! Our story starts with two kittens, about 10-12 weeks old, who were found in a New York City back yard. They were timid and hesitant to approach people, after much effort they were brought to a local rescue. At said local rescue, Asa came into the picture. A foster volunteer with a 7 year old doggo called Kona at home prepared and ready to play "mom" to any potential fosters!

"Blair, a beautiful torbie cat, was very shy when she first arrived. Having little human contact all her life, the kitten had no desire to interact with people, but Kona seemed to know exactly what she needed. Kona pawed at the carrier and eagerly wanted to meet the new kitten. She followed Blair around and insisted on giving her a bath and snuggles. The timid little feline was quickly overcome by the tender loving care. It didn't take long till Blair started rumbling with her adorable purrs and even tried to comfort-nurse on Kona as if she was Mom." Story via Love Meow.

Pure wholesome goodness.

"The next day, Blair's brother Chester arrived at his foster home. The ginger boy was in need of a lot of socialization. He stayed cooped up inside the carrier and was too scared to come out. Needless to say, Kona came to his rescue."

"She quickly came running to the new kitten and walked right into the carrier to cuddle with him. She leaned against Chester as if to reassure him that he was safe." Story via Love Meow.

"With the help of Kona, both kittens slowly came out of their shells. They mustered enough courage to walk up to their foster mom for treats while Kona was right there with them, cheering them on." Story via Love Meow.
