Four Orphaned Squirrels Find Tender Love After Being Adopted By Momma Cat (Pics & Video)

This is the story of a momma cat who adopted four baby squirrels after they were orphaned and left to die. Pusha the cat adopted four baby squirrels and currently feeds and lives with them in Bakhchisaray, Crimea. The red squirrels were orphaned but now live with Pusha at a local park about 20 miles south of Simferopol. The group sleep, eat and play together and all seem to have gotten used to their unusual family arrangement.

It was a risky move, since cats regularly predate upon squirrels, but Pusha took them in. "On one beautiful day, visitors brought us these wonderful squirrels in a box. At that time, our cat had just given birth," said Olga Fateeva, an employee of the park. "We decided to introduce them to her and she accepted them."
