Buttons the abandoned puppy and Kitty the rescued kitten are so close. They think they are sisters and live at Battersea Cats and Dogs Home.

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 Terrier， 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 said the pair eat， sleep and play together. She said， “Normally wed hand-rear puppies and kittens separately but we thought we could try putting them together as they are both so young.”

“Luckily its paid off as they adore being with each other and do everything together—its really very sweet.”

Buttons mum Poppy was given to the centre in Old Windsor， Berks.， because her elderly owners could not cope when they discovered she was pregnant with eight puppies.

Staff at the home decided to try rearing the pair together and they have since become great companions.

Kitty and Buttons were put together when they were about two weeks old and treat each other like siblings. Staff at the animal home are hoping someone has enough room to adopt the loveable pair.

Nurse Sascha added， “Hand-rearing them is hard work—I have to feed them every two hours， even throughout the night—but its totally worth it. Were not sure if theyll be re-homed together， though it would be great if they did.”

被遺棄的小狗巴頓和被收留的小貓基蒂關(guān)系十分親密。它們以為彼此是姐妹，現(xiàn)在住在巴特西貓狗之家。

英國動物救援中心里一只孤兒小狗和一只被遺棄的小貓被放到一起，這會兒它倆已經(jīng)變得親密無間了——現(xiàn)在它們以為彼此是姐妹。

小貓基蒂是被一個好心的市民帶到倫敦的巴特西貓狗之家的，基蒂被發(fā)現(xiàn)時才剛出生一天，被遺棄在一個公園里。

為了讓它有個伴，工作人員讓它跟杰克拉西爾梗狗巴頓住在一起。這只小狗出生在救援中心，但是它的母親拒絕要它這個小個子。

它們從此變得難分難舍——在基蒂被搬到貓舍跟其他貓共處一段時間時，它們甚至哭了。

巴特西的獸醫(yī)護(hù)士薩沙·泰勒說它倆一起吃、一起睡也一起玩。 她說：“通常情況下我們會分開撫養(yǎng)小貓和小狗，但我們認(rèn)為可以嘗試在它們還小的時候把它們放在一起?！?/p>

“幸運(yùn)的是我們成功了，它們喜歡跟對方在一起，而且一起做所有的事情——這真是非常甜蜜。”

巴頓的母親波比是在伯克斯老溫莎的救援中心被收留的。它的主人上了年紀(jì)，發(fā)現(xiàn)它懷了八只狗崽后覺得無法應(yīng)付。

救援中心的工作人員決定一起撫養(yǎng)這一對，也成全了這一偉大的友情。

基蒂和巴頓在它們大約兩周大的時候被放到一起，它們對待彼此如姐妹一般。動物之家的工作人員希望有人有足夠的空間收養(yǎng)這可愛的一對。

薩沙護(hù)士補(bǔ)充說：“一手撫養(yǎng)它們是件辛苦的事——我必須每兩個小時就喂它們一次，甚至在晚上也是如此——但是一切都是值得的。我們不確定它們是不是能夠被一起重新領(lǐng)養(yǎng)，但如果可以這樣會更好?！?/p>
