The dog family bonded over the new mother cat and offered to babysit her demanding six kittens
On Easter Sunday, an adorable tabby cat named Freckles gave birth to six healthy kittens in her foster home. The six young children have since been called “Eggs” in honor of their Easter birthdays.
And while Freckles has been a wonderful mom taking care of her little eggs since day one, she’s very happy, on occasion, entrusting her mothering duties to the family dog, Kona .
Kona, belonging to kitten mother Asa, has seen many litters come to her home and is very gentle, gentle with each litter. However, she is not always allowed to interact with newborn babies because anxious mothers do not want dogs around. That is until Kona meets Freckles.
Kona and Freckles had a unique relationship from the start. And while Freckles won’t always allow Kona to stay near the kitten, squirm and hiss away, she will make an exception every now and then.
In fact, Kona will often be welcomed into the “kitten cave” to cuddle and bathe the little ones, giving Freckles a much-needed respite. Asa has many dogs in the house, but Kona is the only one Freckles allows near her babies.
“All my hair is scared to go anywhere near babies because Freckles will come out and flare up. Luckily for Kona, Frenking trusted her enough to let her in the nursery,” Asa said, “Freckles, being a good mother like her, was very protective of her kittens. . ”
Asa has shared many adorable pictures and videos of the little family on her Instagram page, and followers have absolutely fallen in love with their incredible bond.
One user said: “My heart is completely melted. Another added, “So beautiful! Thank you so much for all the precious updates!! ”
The kitten is about to be eight weeks old and will be adopted soon. And while Kona will no doubt be saddened to lose her child, Frenking (who was also adopted) will certainly be relieved to waive her motherly duties.
Until that day comes: how to get together with parents, Freckles and Kona!
In the meantime, those who are interested in supporting the children can donate items through Asa Amazon Wish List. As one might imagine, six children are a few to take care of and their foster mother would certainly appreciate any support we could provide.
