When Rosie was discovered at the age of three weeks she was in rough shape and on the verge of death. A couple decided to risk bringing her into their house and acquainting her with their adult female husky, a risky move, considering this breed is very prey driven.
“She almost did not make it through the first night,” writes lilothehusky on Instagram, “even with round the clock care. She was lethargic and limp. So we decided to go out on a limb and let her cuddle extensively with Lilo. By some miracle, she started suckling on Lilo and Lilo went full ‘mom mode.’”

Soon after, the kitten’s eyes opened and she became stronger. Now the two are inseparable.
Here are a few snapshots of their adventures.

Keep in mind, this sort of behavior is more rare, than common. Indeed, another husky in the family, Infinity, wasn’t as keen on having the baby kitten part of the pack and needed a little bit more time and help. The Instagram account warns:
“Huskies are notorious for their intense prey drive!! So please please don’t run out and get a kitten (or a husky) expecting them to be best friends. It is very uncommon for them to get along (without growing up with each other), so please! Protect your pets and make smart decisions bringing new ones home.”
