Many parents of furry children say that when they raise cats and dogs at the same time, they always ignore each other, and even don't get along happily. Maybe they are not the same species and have a common language? No! The fact that cats and dogs become good friends depends more on fate. Just like this pair of good friends, a cat and a dog from abroad...

This story begins when a family finds a three-week-old kitten abandoned by a female cat in the backyard. Because the kitten is quite weak and unable to stand on its hind legs, it was transferred to an Alask’a after an emergency notification. Shannon, the founder of the KAAATs rescue unit, fell in love with the kitten as soon as he saw it and knew that it needed very special care, so he decided to take it in and name it HarPURR, but Shannon was not the only one who fell in love with the kitten.

The kitten was not in very good health when it was first discovered, but it had a strong will to survive.

HarPURR's hind legs are paralyzed and cannot walk on its own.

After a series of careful examinations, the doctor told Shannon that the kitten’s hind legs were crushed when it passed through the mother cat’s birth canal when it was born. In addition to paralysis of its hind limbs, it is currently unable to eat on its own. Therefore, Shannon and the volunteers took turns every 2 to 3 hours. Helping HarPURR feed, give medicine, clean its toilet, cover it with comfortable blankets to prevent it from getting hurt, and even give it a cat doll as a playmate. However, as HarPURR gradually recovered, the cat doll could no longer satisfy its curiosity. At this time, Shannon thought of Cinder, the husky.

Cinder used to be a husky that had been wandering for many years. She has a smarter and gentler personality than ordinary dogs. When she saw HarPURR, she burst out with maternal love and immediately held her in her arms. The kitten felt a strong sense of security and cuddled up to it comfortably, immediately treating Cinder as its mother!

Cinder and HarPURR hit it off right away, and Cinder always looked at it with eyes full of motherly love.

The appearance of Cinder not only meets the maternal love the kitten needs, but also teaches it how to socialize and play. When HarPURR grew up, Shannon made a specially made wheelchair. The highly mobile HarPURR soon learned to sit in the wheelchair and walk around to explore. It seemed that the paralysis of its hind legs did not affect its movements at all. Moreover, after Cinder went out to play with it, she would lick its hind feet with love to "clean and massage" it... The two have such a good relationship that they are almost inseparable now.

HarPURR: I have guardians on my left and right!

HarPURR: I caught a birdie! Hehe!

HarPURR: Ma Ma, I love you the most, chirp!

Seeing the cross-species friendship between a dog and a cat, netizens exclaimed that it is amazing! This Alaska is so warm!
