Pitbull Allows Pregnant Stray Cat To Have Babies In His Doghouse
Hades, a Pitbull in Mexico, is proving that a big heart can matter more than a bad reputation. While his owner, Juan José P. Flores, has been feeding a stray cat that visits the neighborhood, Hades noticed something unusual and decided to get involved.
That simple act turned into a surprising shelter story when the dog led Flores to his doghouse and revealed a pregnant cat had made herself at home. Now the little family has everyone talking.
And Hades may have just changed a few minds along the way.
One day, Flores heard knocking at his back door, where Hades usually hangs out. He initially thought it was a person knocking, but upon further investigation, he realized that it was actually Hades. His pup had something very important to show him.
"He was desperate and making a lot of noise," Flores told The Dodo.
As soon as Flores stepped out to check, Hades started leading him to his doghouse, where he was hosting an important guest.
That is when Flores realized this was no ordinary visit.
It’s hard not to think of Lara, the pitbull left to die, still loyal to her untold secret.
"I was very surprised," Flores said.
Hades' guest turned out to be a shy stray cat. She was pregnant and desperately in need of a warm and safe place to have her babies. Hades had the perfect spot for her.
Hades didn't stop there; he still had more kindness to offer. Hades stayed close by her as she went into labor, ensuring she felt safe during that vulnerable moment.
"He dragged a blanket over to the entrance of his house and settled outside the door," Flores said. "She felt protected by him."
The cat gave birth to two adorable kittens while Hades watched over them.
"I think he felt that he was a father," Flores said.
The new mother cat couldn't have been happier; she was cozy with her babies in her new home, and Hades welcomed them with open arms.
Flores moved the mother cat and her babies indoors, where he and Hades could keep them warm and protected.
That was the start of a beautiful friendship between Hades and the cat, who is now named Nicol. Flores added that they have been spending a lot of time together when the mom isn't taking care of her kittens.
Flores will try to find a forever home for the kittens when the time is right. However, Nicol will always have a home with Flores and Hades.
Flores hopes that this story will change people's minds about Pitbulls and perhaps even inspire some to spread more kindness in the world.
"Pit bulls are good dogs," Flores said. "Hades put everything aside to help someone else. We should do the same without expecting anything in return."
Hades just made a very strong case for himself.
Hades may have welcomed a pregnant stray, but see how a pregnant pitbull protected her owners from a fatal snake attack, then paid the ultimate price.
