A Momma Cat Nursing Three Puppies

Last Friday's "Picture Of The Day" featured a touching photo of a mare nursing her foal. Today's picture follows that same theme, but what we have here is a momma cat nursing her own kittens...plus three cuddly puppies. Yes, that's a CAT nursing three baby DOGS! Allow me to explain...

A few days ago the Washington County, Virginia C.C. Porter Animal Shelter took custody of a large number of cats and dogs including three small puppies who somehow ended up without their mom. Well, it just so happened that the shelter had a momma cat with more than enough milk for her kittens so the puppies jumped right in and started eating at the feline buffet. "Momma" didn't seem to mind, so now the kittens have three new canine "siblings".

Like most animal shelters across the country, Washington County's almost always has several beautiful and friendly dogs and cats available for adoption into loving families. If you're planning to add a new pet to your family, why not visit the shelter and adopt one instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars to a pet store? By doing so, in addition to saving a considerable chunk of change, you'll quite possibly also be saving a life!
