When a zookeeper at Novosibirsk Zoo in Novosibirsk, Russia noticed that a baby lynx was not getting any food from its mother because she was the runt of the litter.
They quickly found a solution to help the tiny, motherless cub. One of the employees decided to bring her female cat into work to act as a surrogate mother.
They all hoped that the mother cat who gave birth to the kittens would adopt the little baby lynx as her own.
Soon after they met, the domesticated cat’s motherly instinct kicked in and she started feeding and cuddling her new baby.
Nika is eating better now and growing very fast and will soon outgrow her surrogate mom.
After all, everyone deserves a bit of motherly love.
