Here is "Miep" the Whippet Kitten's Story...

From Annie at Wild About Whippets, posted on Whippet World.

Here is the amazing story with even more pictures!

"I will definitely consider this my mini miracle for the year....

  My new neighbor (whom I've never met) stopped by my house last night to inform me that my cat possible had kittens in her garage.  I do have a cat, but she's spayed, indoor only and almost 13 years old.  I was very surprised that a cat in my neighborhood had kittens as everyone seems very responsible for their pets.  My poor neighbor is not fond of cats and neither is her husband so I retrieved four hungry, dirty kittens from the garage and transferred them to my garage for safety until I could get them to a shelter today. 

Much to my surprise, Vegas was very frantic when the kittens cried.  I kept them separated all night but due to the hot weather I felt it necessary to bring Vegas, the pups and the kittens to work with me today.  Again, Vegas would not leave the kittens alone!  Once my vet checked out the kittens I allowed them to visit Vegas and here are the results....

Mmmmm... much better than formula (yes, she's actually nursing)!

It absolutely amazes me how Vegas and her pups accepted four feral kittens without hesitation.  Wouldn't it be nice if humans were the same?" - Annie

I had fallen in love with the story and pictures! Especially with the one little girl I show the most in the pictures above.  Vegas is a super-star mom, raising nine whippet pups and four kittens. (Annie is a super-star too, for taking in these precious kittens.)

It turns out that Annie and her beautiful whippets were very close to where my mother lives - so I had to bring back "Jersey Girl" who later renamed herself "Miep" as she was even more wonderful in person!

Here is a picture of Miep at nearly 4 month of age!!!! 

THANK YOU ANNIE for our precious Miep!!!!!
