Lost Dog Shows Up At A Cat Sanctuary. Now Cats Are In Love! | Cuddle Buddies

Pig is a cat who is obsessed with the only dog in the cat sanctuary. Dog was found alone and cold and Blake couldn’t keep her, because as they say, cats and dogs don’t mix. But Dog had a secret super power. Cats love her and are drawn to her, one cat in particular - Pig. Blake knew this is where Dog was meant to be and together they help cats become more adoptable.

Pig and other cats like Dog because he is absolutely unreactive, undemanding, unpushy, absolutely SAFE because he's not approaching them FOR anything at all. So they have an absolutely blank slate to be themselves with Dog. People who do a lot to try to befriend kitties could learn a lot from Dog. He doesn't even look at them (which can be preceived as a threat). Good Dog. Good Kitties. Happy Kitties. Thanks for taking everybody in!

[@GhostofaSiren]

@@DawnieG I'm sure your cat loves you in his/her own way. What is their body language around you? Watch for lashy tails, pinned ears and like narrowed eyes. Cats do actually have a lot of body signals and expressions, but a lot of people don't take the time to look for them, and then they get scratched or bit. Jackson Galaxy vids on 'My cat from hell' really helped me figure stuff out. It's subtle, tho. If the cat's ears are spread like a smiley face, and the eyes look sleepy they're actually happy.

This story is cool because usually you hear about someone who has always had dogs and they happen to find themselves with a cat and fall in love with it, it's much rarer to hear the opposite.

[@annbee4494]

And then there is me. I have always been around cats since I can remember and now currently take care of a colony of outdoor cats. People have me pegged as "the cat lady", but in reality I love dogs as well and turn into a big old mush around them. If I could bring a few dogs into my home, I would. As long as they are cat friendly, they're in the club. More too love. 🥰

[@LucaBlightOfHighland]

@annbee4494 I have always had difficulty relating to people, especially strangers and I tend to avoid them if I can (not out of snobbery, I don't know how to behave and I feel uncomfortable), but when I come across a dog or a cat I rush to cuddle it and talk to it like a child realizing only afterwards that there was an embarrassed human being connected to it... At that point the introvert beast in me regain control and I would like to run away 😄

I work at a local food shelf. we have 50 to 70 people a day everyday looking for food assistance for themselves and their pets they are only allowed 2 visits a month. Rent here in my state has increased 500 to 800 a month or more, food has gone up, heating fuel is up, Eventually, you have no more money to cover raising costs. Especially if you're on a fixed income. Many are struggling or outright homeless. If you take a pet to the local pound, you have to pay to bring in a stray or to relinquish a pet. If they could pay they'd keep the pet. It's bad out there, we had people die because they only had a tent to live in during winter in Vermont. Section 8 housing has a 5 year wait, let that sink in 5 yrs before you can get a rent assistance home to live in. You want to help bring in cat or dog food to a food shelf, pet sanctuary or pound.

[@eloisemarie5219]

10 year wait where I live to get assistance

[@batterybroken]

I’m homeless myself and could do very well having a service dog to alert me to my health issues but I can’t even find safe housing for myself so I won’t get any animal, they deserve safe and stable housing too. I’m almost on year three of waiting for housing assistance. The way things are going is awful.

I, too, helped rescue a canine we called "Black Dog" because we didn't want to get attached to him. Ha! We loved him dearly and cried when he went to his forever home on a ranch that was perfect for him. He was such a good boy!

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

That’s how I ended up with a cat named Pooper, lol. We were going to “find her a good home” so didn’t name her. After a couple weeks, we realized she would think her name was Little S**t because we were always laughing and saying “Oh, you Little S**t!” when her tiny kitten self was absolutely terrorizing our four adult cats and 80 lb. dog. 😁 Pooper was the cute alternative and it became her name. It just suited her. She was my best friend for 13 years.

[@cindee1794]

That is so sweet! Many years ago, I had a bonded pair of male cats and when they were 3, I adopted a female cat that showed up at my door. She didn't really want anything to do with them, but when my husband got a dog, she was in seventh heaven! While the dog didn't share her feelings, he kindly tolerated her.

[@robstockton911]

It looks like in this scenario too, Pig loves Dog, but Dog isn’t that interested. Dog seems more focused on Human.

[@cdes1776]

Yay! Similarly, my small dog, Nikkee had seperation anxetiy for yearsthat led to bleeding paws from "scritching" on doors. Beatrix as a kitten took over immediately! He hasn't 'scritched' since. She shows her feelings in her own way and he....tolerates her friendship. It's hilarious when she body checks him, jumps over him playfully. She has one job and she's a natural!

I named my cat kitten because I never intended to keep him also. 7 years later he is still here. He was a foster. I couldnt let him go.

[@vintage6346]

I rescued and bottle fed a tiny baby kitten. I called her Kitty because I knew I couldn't keep her. I loved her. I found her a home. She got sick in her new home and (apparently) died before the year ended. My heart broke. You see, I'm in a wheelchair and couldn't care for her. Also, her new mommy named her. Terrible irony here. Her new mommy unknowingly gave Kitty the name of my narcissistic mother! I wished I'd named Kitty myself.

[@marychocolatefairy]

There was a cat that was hanging around my apartment, and she decided I was her new person. I called her Katrina. Then Hurricane Katrina happened not long after, so henceforth I called her Kat, lol.

[@vintage6346]

@@marychocolatefairy Such irony. Yes, Kat. No need to burden the poor dear with a name that would stigmatize her. Did you explain to newcomers the her name was spelled with a "K"?

[@someoneelse4710]

She's pretty small and she doesnt appear to go looking for the cats. Cats--especially nervous or feral ones--can interpret being approached as aggressive. Ignoring a cat is therefore understood as "i am not a threat." Its why the person who doesnt like cats always gets their attention lol. Most cats will learn their humans arent aggressive pretty quickly but they still like being the one to approach.

[@ps3udologue]

Additionally, she doesn't seem to be super high energy that it freaks the cats out. Just a chill pup who wants love and company.

[@someoneelse4710]

​@@ps3udologueyeah definitely! Forgot to mention her temperament

[@yrysf1876]

agreed , cat is very very security oriented animal , to me their life is about their security/safety and their territory or whatever they think belong to them. I guess perhaps they know they are not physically strong like most other animals and hence they are always careful and wary of any creature bigger than their size

[@M_SC]

Dog probably lived with cats before.

[@normas5267]

What an awesome animal sanctuary. We all need to support animal sanctuaries, like this one. So many animals are being abandoned though they simply can't survive on their own and animal shelters are overfilled to capacity that they have to euthanize otherwise healthy animals unless people open up their homes and hearts to these animals by adopting or fostering and donating to animal sanctuaries who care, feed, treat, etc, animals in need. Many thanks and blessings to all animal rescuers and donaters. This is truly a collective effort.

[@smol-one]

At least where I live, if a shelter doesn't have room, they don't take the animal(s). Sure, sanctuaries are important. Especially for non cat/dog animals. But I think shelters typically reject animals they don't have room for. Also, not all shelters are full. I understand what you're trying to do, but you don't need to exaggerate. The actual problem is bad enough.

The neighborhood I live in has 2 stray cat colony's and two small ones. Two old areas/neighborhoods that are rather old with older homes and a few acres to each and one new yuppy recently built neighborhood (one of those terrible awful cookie-cutter neighborhoods). The newer one dumps cats, dogs, small pets (guinea pigs, chinchillas, fancy rats and at least one ferret - that thankfully was left on my doorstep by a crying teenage girl and her yelling father, caught on my doorbell cam). We take care of one of the cat colonies. I work as a SAR & Disaster field medical officer and have a degree in Wildlife Biology. My husband is a mechanic. Taking care of this colony is killing us financially but but neither of us can let them starve. I care for the cats as best I can medically since Vet's are far from affordable, the neighbors help some. Our colony is the healthiest you'll find outside of official care. We feed them, tame them, get them to good health then do it best to find homes but no one wants adult, unfixed cats with claws indoors. It's so hard, they get hit by cars, some evil people in those newer areas are cruel, some get sick, injured.... we tame and care for them but sometimes have to euthanize them to end horrible suffering. It takes a lot out of us.
