Shelter cats from Animal Friends Niigata (Animal Friends Japan, part of JEARS) in Japan brought love and warmth to a sick rescue dog as she slowly worked her way back to health.
“Nellie had been lying, unable to move, by the side of the road for two days before being taken in to the hokenjo,” said the shelter on Facebook. After the needed bath and treatment, the shelter cats came to Nellie and thought she needed company.
They continued to accompany the sick dog until she was brought back to health. Having the kitties there might just be the thing that helped her through it. Today Nellie is fully recovered and found her forever home according to the shelter.
Nellie fell asleep in her bowl while she was eating, and some of her feline friends joined her!
After the bath and treatment, kitties came to offer some love and comfort.
Word spread quickly amongst the cats – sick doggie in need of kitty love! [JEARS]

Amazing story! Cats are amazing creatures (dogs too) Their purr has magical powers. Once when getting my blood pressure, it was a bit high so the nurse told me to think of something relaxing. I thought of my rescue Snowshoe, Kasper sitting on my lap purring and looking at me with her sweet, sweet eyes and BAM, down goes my blood pressure!
I believe it, Dani! This is the sweetest story I’ve seen in a long time. All those kitties purring definitely drummed up some healing vibes for Nellie. Love works wonders!
what a bunch of sweet kitties to cuddle up with a recovering pup. So great to see!
Tears of joy! What a beautiful story. I’m so happy she’s found her forever home and hope that all the kitties do as well.
I love this story…Whomever said Cats and dogs don’t get along, just need to read about these amazing animals. No wonder I love cats so much.
