Nala, a tiny kitten, found herself all by herself in a frightening alleyway. Her fortune shifted when a compassionate individual brought her to the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, situated in Spokane, Washington.
This previously abandoned little kitten is set to receive so much affection that she will be unable to contain it within her four tiny paws.
A Kitten In Need
Given her young age, she heavily relied on a foster family to survive. Upon hearing reports that this little darling required assistance, Jamie Myers offered to welcome her into her home.
At that moment, Jamie was already fostering a lovely cat who had tragically lost some of her kittens, and she believed that Nala would seamlessly fit into the little family.
She was about a week and a half younger than my group, so I told her, ‘My mama is truly wonderful. She’s been very accepting, so let’s see if she can’t nurse. Nala nursed right away and Mama embraced her immediately. She began licking her, grooming her, and demonstrating her acceptance and affection, said Jamie.
Shortly thereafter, mama cat and her kittens discovered their new forever home. However, since Nala was still petite, she required remaining in the foster system until she matured and gained strength.
She accomplished everything later than the rest of the group. When they all opened their eyes, she still had her eyes closed, and while they began to move around, she was still attached to Mama, nursing.
Unfortunately, Nala found herself alone once more. Nevertheless, her fortune shifted when Jamie took in a fluffy dog mother named Izzy, along with her adorable pups. Izzy’s maternal affection was limitless, and she quickly embraced Nala as her own.
An Unusual Family
The mama dog kept trying to grab Nala and place her with her other pups. She simply thought one of the babies was missing — she kept attempting to return her, and return her.
Jamie concluded that it was likely better for Izzy to care for Nala rather than her.
She seized the opportunity because she was eager to witness what this unconventional family dynamic would appear like.
She carefully monitored the exchanges between Nala and all of the puppies, assisting in any way possible.
Izzy adored her new kitten just as much as her pups. Furthermore, Nala truly enjoyed this new atmosphere she was in. During cuddle time with her new siblings, she surely couldn’t hide her smile.
It did not take long for Nala to adapt to her new lifestyle. She figured out how to escape from the pen independently, heading to find some cat kibble.
Her feline curiosity often got the better of her, leading to some playtime, yet whenever nap time arrived, she would return right back to snuggle with her family.
With all the affection Nala received, she rapidly grew up, prepared for adoption.
However, Izzy did not take this well. Watching who she considered one of her own departing truly impacted her. Fortunately, Jamie devised the perfect plan.
She welcomed two sister kittens who were in need of love and care, and Izzy proved to be perfect for the role. She could not have been more joyful. She and her new kitten daughters were inseparable.
Final Word
Nala not only blossomed into a large and robust kitten, thanks to her dog mother, Izzy, whose affection had no limits, but she also highlighted that the longstanding rivalry between cats and dogs is merely a myth.
Thank you, Jamie, for your inventive solutions and your commitment to rescuing every little paw in need.
