Kitten with Kennel Stress Finds Comfort with Sweet Dog Foster Mama

Kennel stress is a condition that happens when an animal is at a shelter or confined to a kennel and they exhibit signs of stress, like crying, refusing to eat, pacing or in baby animals, exhibiting failure to thrive, which was the case with the tiny kitten in the video below.

Help came just in time in the form of a very motherly pit bull pup who took the little kitten under her care. It's just so sweet!

The touching video was shared by the TikTok account for @franks.potato.farm and TikTok users have fallen in love with these two. @JJ comments, "You hit the jackpot with mama Fran!!" The kitten is way too adorable too. As one user said, he's just a cute little ball of dryer lint!

@John hilariously says, "Its name will be lint trap and I will die for it." @mandark adds, "Oh that baby a floof. I love that baby and momma Fran." Some animals just have excellent mothering instincts and Frannie is obviously one of those animals. @Hillary had a similar experience and replied, "My male pittie did this with a baby kitten I saved! They are the best!!"

Some animals just don't do well when they end up in a shelter, which is your reminder that if you are looking for a pet to add to your family this holiday season, please check your local Humane Society or animal shelter first. Adopt, don't shop. Not every kitten has a mama like Fran to help her!
