Chihuahua adopts kittens

This has to be the cutest Chihuahua news story in ages.

In Surrey, British Columbia, a new Chihuahua mom called Buttercup has adopted not one, not two, but nine kittens!

The story started off sadly - Buttercup lost a puppy four hours after it was born. Her owner, a vet called Lisa Scribner, was worried how dejected Buttercup seemed until she got a call that a litter of five kittens had been found abandoned.

Buttercup took care of the five kittens until they were weaned. Then four more kittens needed a surrogate mom when theirs died during an emergency caesarean section. Now Buttercup has more kitties to care for! Click here to see the original story.
