At 13 years old, Pax was hardly expecting to become a parent, but life can be unpredictable.
The senior labrador was living happily with his loving family on their farm and enjoying his golden years.
But one day, Pax and his family heard a sad cry coming from somewhere on the farm, and with that, everything changed.
Pax’s pet-mom, Morgan, heard the cry of a small kitten, and with the help of one of her cats, she was able to find it. She brought the cat outside with her and the clever kitty was able to lead her to the orphaned kitten.
The little kitten had been left all alone in a tree stump and was crying out for its mother. Hoping that the momma cat would return, Morgan waited a couple of hours before bringing the kitten in.
But after some time, it was clear that the mother was not returning, and Morgan knew that she had to save the heartbroken little orphan.
Morgan brought the kitten into her house and made it warm and comfortable in her bed. The little kitten was so young that she needed to be bottle-fed, and her fur and skin were infested with fleas.
The family named the kitten Polly, and slowly nursed her back to health. They bottle-fed her, got rid of her fleas, and gave her as much love as possible.
One family member, in particular, took an extra serious interest in the wellbeing of the little kitten; Pax.
