She loves to play with her babies and tolerates our 60 lb dog but does not love him by any means, she has zero reaction to our other cat even around her kittens. We have twin toddlers and she just avoids them. She is very slow to accept change but since I won her over she is extremely sweet and affectionate."

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
