Things didn’t look good when
Charlie the rottweiler was born at Meriden Humane Society. Charlie’s
mother was too sick to nurse him, and workers struggled to keep the
puppy healthy by bottle-feeding him every two hours. Luckily, Satin the
cat came to the rescue.Satin was nursing her own kittens, and exhausted workers hoped she might be willing to add one more to her family. “She loved it when we put them together,” says director Marlena DiBianco. Satin fed Charlie for three and a half weeks. Her kittens welcomed the puppy like a brother, wrestling and sleeping with them.
