An orphaned puppy and abandoned kitten who were put together at a rescue centre have become so close - they think they are sisters.

Kitty the cat was brought into Battersea Cats and Dogs Home by a kind-hearted member of the public who found her alone in a garden when she was just one day old.

To keep her company she was put together with Buttons the Jack Russell, who was born at the centre but rejected by her mother as the runt of the litter.

They have since become inseparable - and even cry when Kitty is moved to the cattery to spend some time with other cats.

Battersea Veterinary Nurse Sascha Taylor says the pair eat, sleep and play together.

She said: ‘Normally we’d hand rear puppies and kittens separately but we thought we could try putting them together as they are both so young.

‘Luckily it’s paid off as they adore being with each other and do everything together - it’s really very sweet.’

i’ve often had cat’s and dogs grow up together /parent the other kind . it works very well.
