Her human caretakers brought her four orphaned baby squirrels, all needing a mother’s touch. What happened next was truly amazing.
At first, the squirrels were unsure about their new home and guardian. But with Pusha’s gentle guidance and help from her human friends, the squirrels slowly adapted, showing how patience and love can help overcome fear.
Pusha’s response to the new additions was truly remarkable. She nursed the squirrels alongside her kittens, groomed them, and played with them, treating them all with equal love.

Pusha’s actions are a perfect example of strong maternal instincts.
The success of this unusual family was supported by human help. Park keepers and visitors provided extra milk for the squirrels, ensuring all the young ones thrived.
This teamwork highlighted the importance of caring together for those in need.
In nature, where predators and prey usually do not mix, Pusha’s behavior was an extraordinary exception. She showed no aggression towards her adopted squirrel babies.
Photos and videos from the park show peaceful scenes of Pusha with both the squirrels and her kittens, proving the harmony in this mixed family.
