Puppy finds feline mom at animal shelter

Baby Bear, a 3-day-old puppy at the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area, has a surrogate mother — a cat.

Jelly Bean, a mother cat at the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area, may think her third “kitten” looks and smells a little strange, but she is letting him nurse and cuddle just the same.Baby Bear, a chocolate Labrador retriever, came to the Humane Society as a 3-day-old puppy abandoned by his mother. Shelter workers fed him from a bottle and used a heating pad to keep him warm.

Then Jelly Bean stepped in and allowed Baby Bear to nurse with her two kittens, Jelly Roll and Jelly Belly. Nearly the same size as Baby Bear, the two kittens treat him as their brother, Humane Society spokeswoman Kelly Hitz said in a written release.

Baby Bear will be eligible for adoption when he is about 8 weeks old.

Why can’t we all be like Jelly Bean?  We should love others no matter who they are or where they come from. We need to let others into our hearts, never close a door to a hungry person, and always help those in need.
