When a couple adopted a dog, they were unsure how she would get along with their other animals.
Macy Thorne, Opal’s mom, told The Dodo that Opal’s parents adopted her from a local animal shelter in mid-September after fostering her for a few weeks. Opal, who’s now 6-years-old, seems to be adoring her new home, but she’s taken a particular liking to a tiny kitten.
Thorne and her husband were so thrilled about how great of an experience adopting Opal turned out to be, and they considering adopting a kitten too. Unsure of how Opal would react, Thorne decided to cat-sit her sister’s boyfriend 6-week-old kitten, Roxxy. “We weren’t entirely sure how Opal would respond to the kitten,” Thorne said. “We have no idea of Opal’s past before the shelter and had no way of knowing if she would be okay with cats.”
But sure enough, when Roxxy arrived she let out a loud meow, and from that moment on, Opal was in love. “Opal loved Roxxy from the minute she saw her,” Thorne told The Dodo. “She immediately went in Mommy mode. Opal kept trying to clean her, pick her up, followed Roxxy everywhere she went.”
Roxxy had never met a dog before, but with Opal, it was love at first sight. Now, where ever Roxxy goes, Opal goes too. She refuses to let the kitten out of her sight and treats her like her own baby. While Roxxy does need to return to her owners, the Thorne’s now will definitely be adopted a kitten for Opal.
