In the serene setting of Bakhchisaray Miniature Park, a tale of unexpected motherhood unfolds. Pusha, a statuesque gray cat with eyes like polished jade, has become the talk of the town.
Not just for her regal demeanor among the park’s miniatures but for her boundless maternal love that has embraced more than just her own kin.

A Heart as Big as the Park
Pusha’s world, already filled with the pitter-patter of four tiny kittens, expanded when a quartet of baby squirrels arrived in a cardboard box, courtesy of compassionate visitors. These little creatures, still in need of a mother’s milk, found a new lease on life under Pusha’s tender care.

The Blending of Two Worlds
Initially, the squirrels were hesitant, their wild instincts wary of the feline figure. But Pusha, with a heart that saw no difference between kitten and squirrel, enveloped them with love. Now, the mixed brood of kittens and squirrel kits are inseparable, their antics a symphony of unity and survival.
“They nestle together, shadow each other’s steps, and even spar gently for their share of milk,” reveals Olga Fateeva, a park employee.
