Litter of Kittens Adopted by Yorkie Mom


A litter of five orphan kittens taken in by the Humane Society of Utah have found a new mother who doesn’t purr, but offers unconditional love. Her name is Bridget, a 10-year-old Yorkshire terrier.

Bridget, who lost her own puppies after birth showed her motherly instincts immediately when she saw the baby kittens. She swooped in like a mother to her babies and nursed them as her own.
