Three-day-old Baby Bear, a chocolate Labrador puppy was surrendered Saturday to the Humane Society of Harrisburg after his mother abandoned him. Workers bottle fed the tiny puppy and kept him on a warming pad until they decided to see if one of the new shelter mothers would accept him and care for him along with her babies.
Into the picture comes Jelly Bean, a gray tabby cat with two tiny babies of her own, Jelly Belly and Jelly Roll. Jelly Bean may think her new baby looks and smells a little funny but maternal instinct rules and she cares for Baby Bear right along with her own, all of which are about the same size right now.
“Staff just thought they’d give it a try, and they both just took to it,” spokeswoman Kelly Hitz said. “She doesn’t seem to mind. She doesn’t seem to treat him any differently. She knows he needs some help, and she’s there to give it to him.”
So Jelly Bean will ‘mother’ Baby Bear until he is ready to be weaned and at 8 weeks, all the babies will be available for adoption. I guess that Baby Bear will probably do well with a family that may have kitties as part of their family.
Maternal instinct is an amazing thing and I sometimes think that in animals, even stronger than in some people. Stories like this can certainly teach us all a lesson. 
I have always said and believed that animals get along better than humans! Such a sweet story
what a great story. it is nice to hear and or read astories like this. animals are such a awesome part of our lives they can teach us a alot of stuff. i know mine have

AWWWWWWW THIS IS REALLY A GREAT STORY. I ALSO LIKE THE NAMES OF ALL THE ANIMALS. I HOPE THEY ALL GET ADOPTED INTO GOOD FOREVER HOMES.
what a sweet mommy!glad she accepted the puppy
If only all humans were like most animals. This would be a better world to live in. We had a red Dobie named Pennies, that had puppies. It was her first litter. She was young. She didn’t want to nurse her puppies they made her nervous. At the same time we had another female dog. Cindy. She loved Pennies’s puppies she stayed with them and took care of them and she got milk and nursed them. Cindy never had a heat and and she never got pregnant, but she knew those puppies needed her. And somehow she got milk to feed them. She was a very good mommy.
