According to veterinarians, the kitten was only 8-10 weeks old. “Ginger was shy and wary of people,” the shelter says. “But when he realized that we were bringing him food, he began to actively make contact and communicate with us.”
Day after day, Ginger was on the mend and became bolder. Once he even escaped from the aviary and wandered into the isolation for dogs. There he met Ann. She was found in a serious condition in the bushes on the street and taken to a shelter. The kitten seemed to understand that the dog needed a friend more than ever.
Ginger climbed into Anne’s cage and lay down beside her. The rules of the shelter forbade keeping cats and dogs together, so the kitten was immediately taken back to the enclosure. “There was his tray, food and water,” volunteers say. “But he immediately got out of the cage and returned to his girlfriend.” As a result, the animals decided not to separate.
Now Ann and Ginger share one enclosure for two, and they really like it. The dog gives the kitten a sense of calm and security, and in return, he cares for her and entertains her!
