Jack russell becomes surrogate mummy to 6 tiny rescue kittens

[Retro]

A fine example of animals doing the right thing. Nice how they can sense vulnerability in a different species and help out, isn't it?

A Jack Russell has become a foster-mum to six abandoned kittens.

Sue Stubley, of Newmarket, took in six black kittens after they were abandoned by their feral mother.

Within hours of bringing them home, her dog Teasel began lactating and the kittens latched on to feed.

Ms Stubley and Teasel will now care for the kittens until they are ready to go to their new homes, which have already been found.

Strange how, on occasions, different species act as foster parents.
