Boston Terrier Nurses Orphaned Kittens, Warms Our Cold Hearts

Shannon Williams’ Boston terrier, Memory, used to be afraid of cats.

Then Memory became a surrogate mom to a klatch of orphaned kittens whom she reportedly began to nurse, despite not having been pregnant.

According to the description on a YouTube video of Memory feeding the kittens, the little ones were found outside, cold and wet, when they were about a week old.

And right away, says Williams, 5-year-old Memory began cuddling and nurturing the wee cats — two boys and two girls, named Don Mickey, Luke, Whiskers and Mittens.

“It was amazing,” she says.
