Dogs have been known to adopt an abandoned or orphaned kitten.

This is an instinct that female Dogs have because of their maternal nature.

They do this so the kitten will survive.

If your dog has a large litter and can't provide enough milk for her puppies, she might reject a kitten to protect her own.

Is it good for a dog to take care of a kitten?

  • Letting dogs take care of kittens, especially for survival, can make us all feel warm and fuzzy and appreciate the circle of life. The friendship can grow and they can bond as they get older. The companionship is good for them to feel more social, and if a kitten is introduced to an older dog, it might make them more active and energetic.
