Julie Newmar is a Lifesaving Mother

A stray dog came into the care of the Wilbarger Humane Society in Vernon, Texas. She was pregnant, and eventually gave birth to two puppies, one black and one white. The dog was very maternal toward the puppies, but then unfortunately died of unknown causes two days later. The shelter staff went into emergency mode, feeding the puppies by bottle around the clock. But that's not optimum for newborn puppies.

Then Animal Control brought in a stray cat named Julie Newmar who had a week-old kitten named Eartha Kitt. (The names are two of the three actresses who played Catwoman on TV in the 1960s; the third was Lee Meriwether.) Julie Newmar is less than a year old, but she was a very attentive mother to her kitten. She didn't like the dogs at the shelter. The shelter staff took a chance and put the puppies in a cage with Julie, and she took the dogs in as if they were her own kittens!

The maternal instinct is strong with this one. The cats and dogs will be available for adoption once they are old enough. -via Fark ā€‹
