    At Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in Old Windsor, U.K., two lonely baby animals have adopted each other. They have become such close friends that they treat each other like sisters.

    The kitten, named Kitty, was found abandoned in a garden when she was only one day old. Buttons, the puppy, was the runt of her litter, and, unfortunately, was rejected by her mother.

    Normally, the two of them would be hand-reared separately ... but because of their very young ages, the center decided to try raising them together.

    Sascha Taylor, a veterinary nurse at Battersea, says, "Luckily, it's paid off, as they adore being with each other and do everything together - it's really very sweet."

    Kitty and Buttons were introduced to each other when they were two weeks old; they are now four weeks old and inseparable -- even eating, sleeping, and playing together.

    The animal home is hoping to rehome both Kitty and Buttons into the same forever home, once they're older, so that they can stay friends for life.

Aww~ My heart is just broken to know that they were abandoned! But it blooms again to know that these 2 eventually found a friend who will be a part of each others life forever. So sweet~

They are cute ;they're just baby's ! In time they will hopefully grow up . Then the cat will have little to do with the dog & the dog will be heart broke . I seen it happen with my cats(2) & dog .
Maybe being their is only one of each they may stay close . But cats have aloof ways that don't fit with a dog's forgiving personality . Just saying . :~)
