The panda and its sibling were abandoned by their mother were initially kept in an incubator. However the keeper’s cat, which had just given birth, took the two and let them feed off of her alongside its kittens. While one of the baby red panda’s didn’t make it, the other has been thriving and even plays with it’s adoptive siblings.
