Cat nurses puppy rejected by its mom

Saturday, April 22, 2006


CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- A pug puppy rejected by his mother has found a new, more welcoming family -- a cat and her three kittens.
Kelly Kent, of Connellsville, said her 2-year-old cat, Zoey, has been nursing a black pug puppy since he was rejected by his mother in late March. Zoey doesn't usually like dogs but seems to have made an exception, Kent said.
The puppy, who belongs to Kent's neighbor, is about the same size as Zoey's kittens and regularly lines up for milk with his adopted feline siblings.
The pug puppy, the runt of his litter, doesn't yet have a name, Kent said.
