My cat is enraged by our new dog

So, first of all, this is my first post, pardon me if I do anything wrong. I live in Brazil, so my english may be a bit odd.

My mom has a female cat named Viena, she is about 5 or 6 years old and she is really introspective. She doesn't like touch or pet, and she was castrated very late (after 3 pregnancies). She used to pass long times sleeping at home and then she was out for the night.

She had a problematic pregnancy about a year ago and gave birth to only one male cat that born without his right eye, so we kept him with us as she accepted him until about his first year. We named him "Pirate" as he lacks an eye, and he is very friendly and likes touch and humans, very opposite to his mother.

Now, about some months ago, she started to beat him, and pass more time outside home. She looks stressed and is not going home for days, only for eat and then go off.

To make things even worse for her, my mom dicided to adopt a dog, she is really mad and can't stand the dog and she is even avoiding Pirate and beating him for nothing (he doesn't defend himself as he is very naive and sweet).

Is there anything I can do to make things better?

Thanks for reading and for the help.
