Motherly instincts can kick in when you least expect them. When workers at the Zoo in Novosibirsk, Russia noticed that baby lynx Nika wasn’t getting enough love from her mother, they were afraid they’ll lose her forever. Luckily, there was someone who wouldn’t let that happen!
Being the smallest in her litter, Nika’s mom refused to feed her. The zoo, however, wouldn’t let her spend her days without a mom, so they started thinking of ways to save her. One of the employees in the Novosibirsk Zoo came up with an idea – what if they found her a new parent that will give her the love she needed?
The next morning, the worker brought her cat to the Zoo and introduced her to Nika. She had given birth not too long ago, and they were all hoping she would adopt the motherless baby lynx as her own. Luckily, their hopes became reality.
Not long after they met, the cat’s motherly instincts kicked in. The workers at the Zoo soon noticed her feline surrogate grooming and cuddling the baby as her own. It was rather unusual seeing a cat with a baby that was almost the same size as her, but there was something undoubtedly touching about it, too.
They won over the hearts of hundreds of visitors, who couldn’t help but watch in awe as the beautiful feline mother groomed the head of her big baby. The internet was filled with photos of this heartwarming sight, and they quickly became everyone’s favorite duo.
Motherly love can do wonders and, more often than not, it can save a life, too. When Nika’s mom rejected her, the chances of her surviving without her were very low. However, when her feline mommy decided to take her as her own, the workers at the Zoo witnessed a miracle.

Under her surrogate mother’s love, Nika grew stronger and stronger every day. She was eating better and growing so fast that she quickly became bigger than her mother. That, however, never changed the fact that she loved her as one of her own.
She was seen playing around with a tennis ball and acting as every feline baby should. She was happy, strong, and healthy, all thanks to her wonderful mom who saw her as more than just a baby of a different kind. The kitty never allowed the differences to stand in their way, and she created a safe environment for Nika to grow.
The baby lynx spent 3 months with her loving family until it was time for them to get separated because of her size. The memories of them rolling around together, playing, cuddling, and sharing the special bond they had will forever stay in the hearts of the people who took care of them.
After all, the only ones who saw the difference between this loving mother and her baby were the people who introduced them to each other. The cat, however, only saw a baby who needed some love, and she didn’t think twice before she took her as her own.
Although this family might be a bit strange, its story shows just how important motherly love and affection are, even in the animal world. This brave mom decided to change this baby’s life forever, and allow her to live the long and happy life that she deserves.
This special little family is a real example of what motherly love can do. It can create miracles, and Nika is living proof! The animal kingdom is full of loving stories like this one, that show just how compassionate our little furry companions really are.

Sometimes, people forget that our animal friends are living beings with emotions and compassion, and can feel things just like we do. The only difference is in the way they express them. It doesn’t take much to notice this side of them once you see them for whom they really are.
So, next time you see a lost baby animal, try to help her. Motherly love can come from you, too. In no time, you’ll notice just how much it means to show some compassion. A bit of love and affection can save a life, and it will for sure change yours, too.
