Adorable Friendship Between Pregnant Chihuahua and Special Needs Cat Melts Hearts

The bond between a special needs foster cat named Manx and a pregnant Chihuahua is melting hearts on social media. Both animals found themselves in a foster home after entering the care of the animal rescue Austin Pets Alive! Manx is a special needs cat who suffers from a congenital condition that causes him to struggle with incontinence. He has been in foster care since he was seven weeks old. Unfortunately, he is often overlooked by potential adopters. However, despite this, Manx has remained cheerful. The special needs cat loves to help out with other animals that his foster mom takes in.

When a pregnant Chihuahua named Chloe needed to be fostered, Manx was excited to welcome her to the home. However, soon it became clear that the two shared an extremely special bond. After Chloe’s puppies were born, the two remained close. Manx even watched over Chloe while she was in labor. 

Although the pair of friends can be adopted separately, their foster mother is hoping that someone will give the duo a home together. Chloe will be available soon, and Manx is already waiting to find his forever home.
