00:00In yet another example why dogs and cats are the most amazing animals on Earth,
00:05two-year-old Tiesel, a Jack Russell, stepped up to become the unlikely mother of six abandoned kittens her owner
00:12Sue brought home.
00:13Tiesel had been loving, caring, cleaning, and even lactating for the kittens, despite never having had pups of her own.
00:20According to SWNS, Sue, who runs Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital, said,
00:25Initially, Tiesel was trying to get near the kittens, and I was scared she was going to go for them.
00:30I was letting her sniff them, and then she licked one of them.
00:33Then I realized she actually just wanted to cuddle them rather than maim them.
00:38Now she's looking after them completely, and it's amazing.
00:42As the owner of an animal hospital and as a kind person, it's hard for Sue to turn a blind
00:47eye to any animal in need.
00:49Tiesel taking care of the cats has allowed Sue more time to look after the staggering 154 hedgehogs she's been
00:57taking care of in the past few weeks.
00:59The Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital has been a registered charity for about three years and is struggling to get by.
01:06Donations in the form of money or animal foods are being asked for so that these precious animals can get
01:12back on their feet
01:13and eventually transfer to forever homes where they will be loved and cared for, which is exactly what they deserve.
