Its owner recently welcomed a small feline family rescued from wandering: a cat and her 7 kittens.

Their arrival did not fail to surprise Ziggyas well as her human's partner, she insisted, but the dog is clearly delighted to have company.

He instinctively became their “uncle,” willingly giving up his need for private space and allowing himself to be invaded by these curious and energetic little kitties.

We can see Ziggy meet the kittens and their mother in the video below, posted online on June 22, 2026 on TikTok and relayed by Pet Parade :

The Sheepadoodle has gotten into the habit of playing with its little ones or simply lying down next to them to observe them with eyes full of tenderness. This is what this other video shows:

These interactions are excellent for Ziggywho seems to thrive being surrounded by kittens, but also and especially for them; his presence reassures them and he contributes greatly to their socialization, while offering a little respite to their mother.

Woopets advice: can a dog really help socialize kittens?

The answer is yes, but on condition that he is calm, balanced and that the meetings are supervised. A sociable, patient dog teaches kittens to be familiar with another species from a young age, which can make them more confident as adults.

Their interactions should remain positive. So, if the kittens' mother or the dog shows signs of stress, it is best to stop the session and try again later.

It is also important to remember that each animal must be able to isolate itself when it feels the need, in order to avoid any fatigue or overstimulation, especially in very young kittens.

Successful cohabitation is not based on the quantity of contacts, but on their quality and respecting each person's rhythm.
